Bhishma Panchak: History and Significance

After the victory of the Pandavas in Mahabharata, Lord Krishna took the Pandavas to Bhishma Pitamah. Shri Krishna asked Pitamah to impart knowledge to the Pandavas. At that time, he was lying on the sarasaiya. Still, he accepted Krishna's request and gave the Pandavas invaluable knowledge of Raj Dharma, Varna Dharma and Moksha Dharma. It is said that this process of giving knowledge continued from Ekadashi to Purnima. Then Lord Krishna told Bhishma Pitamah that the knowledge he has imparted to the Pandavas in these five days had made this period very auspicious. Hence from that day, these five days are known as Bhishma Panchak.

Auspicious works like marriage, building construction, new projects etc. are not done in these days. However, during Bhishma Panchak, there are no restrictions.
