ABHIJIT MUHURT

Abhijit Muhurt is a powerful election as per Hindu astrology. Exponents of Vedic / Hindu Muhurt (electional) astrology have prescribed Abhijit Muhurt (election) as on of the most powerful election & has general acceptance of exponents for initiating a wide spectrum of life activities, especially for fruition of worldly activities. It has power to annihilate / destroy numerous malevolent influence s in elections. However, its efficacy is enhanced by presence of special Muhurt Yogas, prescribed beneficial Hindu Panchang elements, luminous Moon, fortified & purified ascendent, specific disposition of election related planets, favourable transits of th e planets to the aspirant etc. etc. This election is that powerful that some exponents have praised to the extent that when a suitable election is not available, it can be selected for fruition of the desires. This election is as or similarly powerful as Vijay Dashmi, Ravi Yoga, SadeTeen Muhurt, Sarva-Karya-Arambha Muhurt, Gow-Dhuli, and Vijay Muhurt & Amrit Ghatis for initiating a wide spectrum of life activities. Abhijit Muhurt starts from 24 minutes before the Local Noon Time (LNT) & remains till 24 minutes thereafter (total duration 48 minutes) for 12 -hour duration of daytime. For variable length of daytime its duration should be calculated proportional to non-nocturnal (daytime) length. For example if Sunrise is at 07.00 IST & the Sunset time is 18.00 IST at a place of an activity then, its total duration shall be 44 minutes (11 12 x 48 = 44 m). Local Noon Time shall be 12.30 IST. The said election time shall start from 12.08 & ends at 12.52 IST (12.30 22 m). In the corresponding duration during nigh t-time, equally auspicious election prevails which is called Brahma Muhurt. Most of the authoritative writers have eulogized this Muhurt as suitable to initiate all types of works, & as the most powerful & efficacious Muhurt capable of removing plurality of maleficence (Doshas).
Exceptions : But this powerful Muhurt is not suitable for auspicious /

sacraments (Manglik activities like marriage, Upanayana etc.)

functions on

Wednesdays, as it forms a malefic Muhurt. Further travel in the South direction should be refrained during this powerful election. Some exponents have advised that 4 minutes of time (total 8 minutes) from the junction of forenoon & after-noon (mid-day), and also the first & latter part of

night (mid-night - Mahanisha) are malefic & should be refrained in a benefic Muhurt (elections). Thus aspirants should not use this election during LNT 4 minutes.

VISHTI / BHADRA KARAN

Manglik works like marriage, Upanayana and the like auspicious works, travel, entering into a house must be shunned without fail during Vishti Karan. Prescribed works in Bhadra are: arresting, tying, administering poison, igniting fire, use of weapon, tearing or cutting an object, inflicting s orrow, all type of works related to camel, horse, & buffalo; birth of a horse & donkey, cooking, worshipping of lord Shiva & Parvati, & fort also. Even when Bhadra is highly inauspicious, Acharya Kalidas (author of Jyotirvidabhranam- an authoritative treat ise on Muhurt) has advised that worshipping during Parvati Ashtami (Hartalika), worshipping of Lord Shiva & Parvati, worshipping of ones deity, water storage (dam), starting of Yagya, conducting Yagya, Holika, Shravani Karam, Jaatkaram Samskar, barter in trade, pious work & giving an item to a king always yield good results. But there are lot many antidotes and exceptions to initiate other / important life activities during currency of Bhadra; described as below: a) When Bhadra resides in heaven or Hades (like it shall be on August 5, 2009 in Capricorn sign) essential works can be conducted. b) The Bhadra Dosha is considered at all places. However in Bengal, Nepal & Mithila, the Bhadra Dosha is only considered during Shravana & Falguni ( Holi festival). c) Bhadra is not malefic after mid -day (Muhurt Ganpati 6/25)

d) Bhadra head in Krishan Paksha & tail in Shukla Paksha can be used. Nominal duration of tail part of Bhadra is 72 minutes. It is accepted that during currency of Bhadra auspicious life activi ties are not performed and that if Muhurt is to be elected during its period then, must be selected by in case of urgency by expert professional astrologer.

SADE TEEN MUHURTAS

According to the Muhurta or Hindu electional astrology, three lunar days or Tithis are considered to be most auspicious. These are known as the Sade -Teen Muhurtas. These tithes include; th e first Tithi of Bright Half of Chaitra which is marked with the starting of the new year), the tenth Tithi of Bright Half of Ashvina or the Vijay Dashmi, the third Tithi of the Bright Half of Vaishakha or the Akshay Tritiya and the first Tithi of Bright H alf of Karttika, which form the Sade -Teen Muhurt. The last Tithi is counted as half and the first three Tithis are regarded as full, which together form the Sade - Teen Muhurt. The Chandra or Moon and Sun are astrologically considered to be positioned at their grandest equal brightness on the holy day. The festival of Akshaya Tritiya is also known as Navanna Parvam. This festival falling on the day of a Rohini Nakshatra is regarded as more auspicious.

According to Sage Narad, Acharya Garga, Ramdeen, & host of other exponents it is opined that it is beneficial & augurs fortunate effects to initiate & conduct works related to iron on Saturdays. With this the learned readers may help remove doubts / superstition in certain parts of the country that purchase or sale of iron items, & doing works related to iron (steel) on Saturdays is inauspicious.

Logics for selection of weekdays

Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn in order are the rulers of the weekdays. Depending upon the inherent natures of the ruling planets, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday are auspicious, benefic & good days; while Sunday, Tuesday & Saturday in general are malefic & cruel days. Tuesday & Saturday are maximum malefic, while Sunday is partially malefic. Auspicious & Manglik works are done on benefic days; while cruel, sinful (Paap Karamas), unethical works in general; & the specified works are done on Saturday, Tuesday & Sunday. Some benefic works also fructify on malefic days depending upon the nature of the work & special dictums regarding Muhurt (election). There is no very tight demarcation of the allocated works for the weekdays, a nd the day is selected based on the type of work, planet signifying the work, time of starting & host of other factors related to the weekday. Nature of Sunday is fixed / stationary; of Monday is movable; of Tuesday is cruel; of Wednesday is mixed / ordinary; of Thursday is small / short; of Friday is sweet; & of Saturday is sharp / horrible. When constellation (occupied by the Moon) & day lord are of same nature then, the combined efficacy increases many folds like when asterisms of Rohini & 3 Uttras coincide on a Sunday; fixed / stationary types of works fructify. Thursday, Friday & Sunday are effective during daytime; Monday, Tuesday & Saturday are effective during night -time while Mercury is effective both during daytime & night-time. Malefic effect of Sunday, Tuesday & Saturday does not exist after mid-day. Some opine that "Vaar Dosha"(evil effects of weekday) does not prevail during night (Acharya Chandeshwar). Colour of the work: Consistent with the colour of the ruling planet of the day, it is beneficial to conduct work with that colour on the weekday ruled by the planet . The Sun's colour is red mixed with black or blood red; Moon's - white; Mars' - pale red; Mercury's - grass green; Jupiter's - yellow; Venus's - swarthy (dark skin) & Saturn's black. Wearing of the clothes of the above stated colours during planets' weekdays is beneficial to the user. Aspirant may also use colours ruled by the rulers of the weekdays. Some opine that, copper-red, white, ultra red, blue, ultra yellow, variegated (mixed, spotted) & black are the colours ruled by the planets from the Sun to Saturn.

Like for election of white washing / painting of a house certain criteria have been laid down. Meeting those requirements, the colour of the white washing / painting if done in yellow on Thursday or in green shade on Wednesday, enhances the beneficence. Similar guidance is taken in respect of other usages of the colours. Saturday is not recommended to sow seeds, but is considered fruitful to sow seeds of black grains, more prof itable if Saturn is in the rising sign. Shiva, Parvati, Ganesh, Vishnu, Brahma, Indra & Yama are tutelary lords of the weekdays in the order. Each day has Adhi Devta (superior lords) also, which are Agni, Jal, Bhumi, Hari, Indra, Indrani & Brahma . Desired results are obtained by worshipping (Smaran) tutelary lords & Adhi Devatas on their weekdays. Based on nature & signification of the weekday, day lord, tutelary lord and other electional considerations following works (& works related to the mentioned items) are recommended for conduction & initiation in different weekdays. It is opined that on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday all types of works fructify; while on Sunday, Tuesday & Saturday only prescribed activities fructify.If on a Sunday the Sun is strong, it is extremely beneficial to see king & do works related to king (in the modern context works related to administration & government is beneficial). If the Moon is strong on a Monday then all types of the works f ructify. Similarly on Tuesday - war; Wednesday - education (study of Shaastras); Thursday marriage; Friday - travel & on Saturday receiving initiatory Mantras of Yagya (a ceremony in which oblations are offered) are beneficial.According to Brihat Jaatak (104/61-63) works allocated to the weekday gets fruition when conducted on the same weekday & when either of the following also coincides: a)day lord is in Upchaya (3,6,10,11) signs from radical Moon's sign. b)day lord is in the election ascendant. c)sign ruled by the day lord is rising, or d)day lord is in angle . Acharya Varahamihira has stressed that on non- compliance to the above, aspirant may not get any fruitful result; like as one does not get a drop of water even after going to the sea. Thus accordingly, if an aspirant wants to start education, he may choose auspicious day as Thursday. Better if he selects Hora of Thursday, and the ruling planet of the day Jupiter is in the rising sign. To further fortify the election, he may select Sagittarius or Pisces as the rising sign; and if either of these signs are 3, 6, 10

or 11th sign from his radical ascendant or from the natal Moon sign; the election shall be extremely fortified. To find such hi ghly beneficial election one may have to wait for a long time. The day when the Moon is weak, or Mars or Saturn is retrograde, is not auspicious. But if such a day lord is in 11th in the election chart, then the said Dosha does not prevail, & benefic resu lts are felt. A day is inauspicious, when the day lord is set or afflicted (Brihat Daivygya Ranjan). That day whose lord is retrograde, causes destruction in many ways if used in election of travel. Acharya Shripati opines that if the day -lord is in Upchaya (3,6,10,11) houses from the election ascendant, the work fructifies. And if it is not in the said Upchaya houses then, it does not fructify even after efforts ( Brihat Daivygya Ranjan).
METHOD OF RIGHT AND LEFT NOSTRILS FOR MUHURT ELECTION

There are three modes of breathing, viz, flow from left nostril, flow from right nostril & flow from both the nostrils. The last mode is generally for a short duration when breathing switches from left to right & vice versa. Mode of breathing can be checked by examining air flow while exhaling. When breath is flowing from both the nostrils, the time is beneficial for worshipping & devotional activities only; all other activities must not be then initiated. Following are some of the specific activities which should be initiated when left or right nostrils are active. Some activities are listed under both the modes, which the aspirant may select based on the functional / piousness of the activity. In general for pious activities are initiated during currency o f left nostril.
Activities recommended during running of left nostril :

It is beneficial / auspicious in long distance travels; charity; donation; wearing of clothes and ornaments; treaty & agreement; installation of God's idol; practicing Yoga; oblation of fire for peace; worshipping; marriage; administering of medicine, treating of difficult illness, removing poison; starting of education -singing-dancingplaying musical instruments; discussion on dance - drama; stationary & fixed works; entering into house - city - village; coronation, seeing king (high official, master, employer); sweet & friendly activities, making friends; auspicious deeds; teachings; initiation of Mantras; leaning of futurity knowledge; collection of domestic items wealth & grains; starting of water tank-pond-well; peaceful & developmental works;

trade (give & take by the hand presenting the mode of breathing); agriculture works, sowing seeds, buying agricultural land.
Activities recommended during running of right nostril:

Currency of breathing through right nostril is auspicious / beneficial for performing accurate & difficult works; writing alphabets; learning and practicing use of arms and weapons; destruction of enemy war, attack, encounter; enmity; inflicting punishment; breaking / splitting; gambling; bathing; taking food; sleeping; sex, visiting women & prostitutes, enchanting females, attracting others; creating fear, cruel works; short distance travel; entry into house; boarding ship / big boat; drinking intoxicants, administration of poison, removal of poison; usage of Mantras; study of holy books; study & teaching of difficult & destructive branches of knowledge climbing mountains & forts; riding on horse / elephant and transports; physical exercise; sale of animals; crossing pond-river; taking medicine; giving donations; sale-purchase; grinding of bricks-stones-wood-metals; conduction of Six-Works': "beating, charming, hindering, enmity, vexing & subduing". Aspirant user of this knowledge must change mode of breathing suita bly at the time of initiating specific desired activity. When left nostril is working, body gets cooled; while right nostril is working, the body gets heated up. Most of the practicing electional astrologers have observed that compliance to the dictums of Swar Shaastra is more efficacious than omens.
