Muhurat
What is Muhurat ?
Muhurat/Muhurt is the most benefic time chosen to execute or start an event so that the task is carried out without any obstacle. A shubh muhurat helps in concentrating the energy of the planets and other astrological factors in an auspicious way so as to nullify the evil influences and make the result of the work performed most fruitful. The time of birth of a person cannot be controlled by anyone. But the time of event can be controlled. Basically the time of an event is the birth of the event; therefore its future will depend upon that time. If you start any work in a shubh Muhurat, it increases the possibilities of success. Muhurat is a tool to harmonize your forces with nature and improve your chances of success.
Significant Of Muhurat-
By shubh Muhurat, one ensures that one is not going against natural forces and beginning an auspicious and important task when all cosmic powers are favorable. In a way, muhurat of an event defines the horoscope of that event. So for a good future, a shubh muhurat is inevitable. The birth chart or the janam patrika and Muhurta are interrelated because if one performs auspicious tasks and events on shubh muhurat according to one’s birth-chart, one will be happy and the problems may also get reduced. It helps in counteracting the obstructions provided by the birth chart of a person and to neutralize or overcome the loss mentioned therein.
So, whenever you are going to start an important event of your life, which either takes a significant amount of your time and energy or is going to make its impact on your life for quite some time, then you should perform that action in accordance to the shubh muhurat.
Muhurat is very useful for people those do not have a birth chart or suffer from any dosha. It is seen that these people have succeeded in their tasks after carrying out it in a shubh muhurat.
A muhurat is calculated based on the hindu calendar commonly called the hindu panchang. Muhurat is calculated on the basis of many variables like
- nature of activity,
- horoscope of the person who has to perform the activity,
- planetary position,
- lunar day and
- ‘Nakshatra’ during the period it is to be performed.
The common period of all these benefics makes the shubh muhurat.
In the Hindu panchang, a tithi is calculated from sunrise to next sunrise. For example, if an event has to take place on Ekadashi on Monday and suppose the Ekadashi tithi starts at 9.00 AM on Monday and Ends at 9.00 AM of Tuesday, then the Muhurata duration will be from 9.00 AM Monday to Sunrise of Tuesday.
While judging a shubh muhurat it is important to consider the combinations of a weekday with Ascendant and nakshatra. Muhurat of auspicious nakshatra is best for carrying out a job. To get a shubh muhurat, purification of Ascendant is also required. So, while judging muhurat fair attention must be given to the status of the Ascendants. A person receives double benefits if his navamsa is also auspicious.
