Why day is becoming longer in uttarayana?

Answer 1

According to Hindu mythology, one 'human' year of 365 days is equivalent to one day and night of the gods. Saur Varsh (solar year) is the period of during which the earth completes one circle of the sun. This going in circular from round the sun is called as Kranti Chakr (zodiac). Dividing this into twelve months makes twelve rashis (signs of zodiac). These have been named according to twelve constellations. The movement of one zodiac sign into another is called Sankranti. Earth in Northern direction (Uttarayana) is called Makara Sankranti and Southern as Kark Sankranti (Dakshinayana). The movement of the sun from the northern tip to the southern tip during Shravan to Posh (July to December) is Dakshinayana and from Magh to Aasadd (January to June) from southern tip to northern tip is Uttarayana. The days are longer during uttarayana and are brighter. The opposite happens during dakshinayan.

According to Hindu scriptures, uttarayana period is gods day and Dakshinayan their night. Makara Sankranti marks the beginning of the day of the gods, which is equivalent to six solar months and is believed to be the auspicious part of the year. The previous six months, considered the night and therefore symbolic of darkness and evil, are inauspicious. Thus Makara Sankranti is the morning of the gods. On Makara Sankranti to receive the offerings, the gods and deities come to earth. On this day sacred souled religious people enter samadhis and give up life to achieve salvation and attain swarga (heaven).-

Answer 2

I am sorry but I cannot find you an honest answer out of very many that I might have. I think I will have to just accept that this is the case, and then move on forward. This has been my problem in life that I never tried to be honest. If I felt honest, I believed that I was honest, and if I did not, then I never made too much fuss about it. I guess, I just accepted that fact that, ‘well I am not, or at least I am not feeling very honest right now, so what is the point turning over backwards to try to be one’. The truth of a being in the originality of feeling, the beauty is in the expanse of the mind, and love when I sincerely seek both. You want to become a philosopher then learn to feel truly, open you mind to the vastness no less than the world of God itself, and do not waste time trying to police the world. I might not be very honest here or this might not be honest enough a reply to you, but this is what I really mean in the life that I have. Thanks for considering, have a great thought!
