If you are a theist, every day is a good day and auspicious day. Is it not God who makes the earth rotate so that the Sun apparently rises and sets!!!!!
'Auspicious' is a mere sentiment.
Every morning when you wake up, thank God for the new day. Thank God in advance for the many good things God has planned for you for that day. Throughout the day keep thanking God for everything. Perceive everything as Good and Good only. Have a positive attitude and optimistic outlook. At the end of every day thank God for whatever God has done during that day. All things work for Good for them who believe in God and for those who Love God and trust in God in all circumstances. Trust not in men who are mere mortals.
Please go ahead and encourage your son to report for duty on 23-12-2024. It is a very good day. The best day.
My best wishes to your son for a roaring success in career and in every aspect of his life.
May God bless you all abundantly.
Well said!
You are absolutely right. Humans, by nature, are emotional beings. We filter our experiences through the lens of our emotions, shaping our perceptions & assigning meaning to the world around us. Whether it's a joyous occasion, a challenging experience, or a simple thought, our emotions color our understanding & influence our responses.
This inherent emotional nature is both a strength & a challenge. It allows us to connect deeply with others, experience the full spectrum of human emotion, & find meaning in our lives. However, it can also lead to biases, distortions, & misinterpretations if we are not mindful of the influence our emotions have on our perception.
The fundamental truth about human experience: that what resonates with one person may not resonate with another. "One man's meat is another's poison." This applies to everything from our preferences in food & music to our beliefs & values. The very nature of diversity ensures that every statement, every idea, will elicit a range of reactions, from enthusiastic support to staunch opposition.
The wisdom of Hinduism, encompassing a vast spectrum of beliefs & practices, beautifully reflects this inherent relativity. It recognizes the validity of multiple paths to spiritual fulfillment & encourages acceptance of diverse perspectives.
There is no single, universal "right" or "wrong," but rather a tapestry of truths woven from individual experiences & interpretations, maybe, sometimes interpolations (we tend to infer from personal nature versus nurture). This principle of relativity, of acknowledging the multiplicity of perspectives & experiences, is essential for fostering understanding, tolerance, & compassion in a world that often seeks to impose singular truths.
Long story short: To each their own. You have your way, & another has theirs. Your perspective highlights that the auspiciousness of everyday life is largely a state of mind. However, some enlightened individuals (seers/sages) maintain, even today, that their path is superior. To Kala Bhairava (timeless Shiva), all time is auspicious if one aligns with his frequency/energy.
Then again, how is the average person to achieve this? Therefore, our seers devised specific time slots (Muhurthams) to identify the most auspicious times of day for various activities, helping mortals capitalize on favorable celestial alignments. A truly "perfect time" is rare, as numerous factors beyond the “five limbs” listed in the Panchangam must be considered.
Let me illustrate this more clearly. Everything is relative & interconnected. To understand intense heat, one must also understand cold. Similarly, nature maintains a balance of positive & negative forces. Does this make heat (fire) or cold (ice) inherently good or bad? One cannot exist without the other (like Shiva & Shakti, or Yin & Yang, etc.).
Let's assume a righteous soul (A) lives in an ashram, performing good deeds for the community. Nearby, a wicked individual (B) commits numerous evil acts, seemingly counteracting A's good works.
While the common assumption is that A will attain heaven & B hell, the Creator may view them as equal. Both are creations contributing to the balance of life & nature.
Consider A's good deeds as steps on the right side of an equation, & B's evil acts as corresponding steps on the left. They progress equally throughout their lives, eventually reaching a plateau of equal actions. There are no further steps to ascend; they achieve Moksha/Mukti/Nirvana/Enlightenment equally.
Both return to Shiva as Athma Jothis, having fulfilled their predetermined roles as ordained by Parabrahma (the Source). This illustrates the cyclical nature of Yuga, creation, & destruction. As Krishna explains in the Bhagavad Gita, particularly Chapter 18, everything is part of the Divine; He is responsible for all occurrences. The key is to act impartially, without attachment or aversion, to avoid incurring Karma (good or bad).
As humans, this is next to impossible except for a select few in the billions. The gentleman asked for guidance & assistance. I saw it & did as just that because I knew something, very little about auspicious time calculations.
The fact that I bothered to do so is that it’s help safeguard the boy’s next chapter of his future. As a father to three boys, I more than understand to give a helping hand to another.
God bless.
Let me illustrate.
