Unlocking the Power of Muhurta or Muhurat: Achieving Prosperity

A good Muhurta or Muhurat can be defined as the best possible starting time for an activity at a particular place for a human being or an entity to obtain the desired goals like prosperity, happiness, and success.

The quality of Time is different for everyone. At one instant a businessman gains billions and at the same time, a poor man even loses his last source of income to earn bread for his family. Similarly, many examples can be quoted for contrasting different or opposite things happening to different people at the same time

So the definition of “Good or Bad Time” depends upon a human being himself.

The moment one starts an activity or engages in action or work, he becomes a doer (karta). His actions have definite consequences for that person, the society, and the activity itself in the short and long term. The overall experience one undergoes depends upon:

• His destiny and hence karmas he indulges in. Consequently, he undergoes some experience depending upon the outcome of one’s actions (karmas). There are 3 types of Karmas according to Hinduism: Fixed  (Drid Karma) which cannot be changed, Not fixed or Variable Karmas (Adrid Karma) which may be changed and a combination of fixed and variable (Drid-Adrid Karma).
• Murata: starting time of an activity. Just as the natal time governs the entire life experience of the native, the starting time of an important activity is a new birth of the native to that activity.

Muhurat is a great Vedic Remedy as a preventive measure to avoid any undesirable effects and have success and happiness from an undertaking. By choosing to start an activity at an auspicious time one can remove most of the negativity associated with the following two types of karmas: variable karmas ( Adrid Karma: that can be changed) and a combination of fixed and variable karmas (Drid-Adrid Karma). These karmas are associated with some definitive compulsions but can also be changed.

The fixed karmas (Drida) are those that one must undergo and experience in this lifetime and cannot be changed. Just like all other karmas they are desirable and undesirable both.

So someone destined to fail in exams will only appear in the exam when the time for his success in the exam is really bad. In other words, the celestial bodies (constellations, planets, etc.)  for that person will be badly placed in the Muhurta chart of the exam.

A native destined to rule a nation will file his nomination and consequently take formal responsibility (oath) at a time, very conducive for him to lead the nation.

A spaceship/satellite will crash only if it has started its mission at a particular time, inauspicious for its own survival during the mission.

The quality of Time felt and perceived by a human being is based on 5 general aspects which are called Panchanga or 5 Limbs of Time in Jyotish. If these five aspects are excellent for someone then he is bound to experience a good time in his life. The five limbs of Time and their importance for us are to find Muhurta/Muhurat as follows:

Tithi: feelings, emotions, happiness, and relationships of the native.

Vara: health, vitality, and energy level of the native.

Nakshatra: longevity of the native or the number of breaths in his life.

Karana: achievements, success, wealth, and material well-being of the native.

Yoga: binding element that keeps everything in union with the native, that gives meaning or purpose to existence.

A Muhurta can be found for almost every activity. For a Vedic astrologer, finding an auspicious Muhurta is a challenging job as he has to first understand: what the native is looking forward to or wants to achieve from the Muhurta and then try to extract the best for him from the heavenly bodies in motion in the sky, considering various constraints from practical situations around.

It is not practical to do every single activity at a good Muhurta but some important activities that are significant for one’s life should be started at an auspicious Muhurta to achieve the desired objectives.

It  is  recommended  to  start  important  activities, which  can  have a significant impact on our life and which  require considerable  expense, at a suitable Muhurta such as:

• Starting a business or an association
• Joining a job, starting a work
• Getting married
• Entering into a new house
• Taking a loan
• Buying, Selling, Investing
