AUSPICIOUS DAY

The question's phrasing at this forum implies the inquirer anticipates the calculations will be specific to South India/Tami-based, given the differing interpretations of the Panchangam/almanac between North & South India.

For Monday, 23.12.24, at Vadodara, Baroda, Gujarat (assuming this is the correct geographical location).

Please note that “Abhijit Muhurtham” is from “12:15 PM to 12:58 PM” & NOT from 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM at this location. All Panjangam Muhurthams are calculated based on "Centre of the Sun" or "middle limb" Sunrise positional times.

If the “Date of birth” is presented with the “Time & Place of birth”, I could be more specific about auspicious times associated with education-related activities. That said, it appears that you have already fixed the date so a better date/time if available may not be of interest to you.

Besides “Abhijit Muhurtham”, you may consider “Nalla Neram” which is appropriately calculated using Gowri Panjangam & Graha Horas.

Auspicious Horas & Gowri Panjangam periods overlapping in the daytime –

Sunrise: 07:15 AM to Sunset: 05:58 PM

Inauspicious periods:
Rahu Kalam - 08:35 AM to 09:56 AM
Yamagandam - 11:16 AM to 12:36 PM
Gulikai Kalam - 01:57 PM to 03:17 PM

Nalla Neram/Auspicious periods:

Moon - Gentle & Amirdha - Best:
07:15 AM to 08:08 AM

Mercury - Quick & Dhanam - Wealth:
12:36 PM to 01:30 PM

Moon – Gentle & Sugam - Good
01:30 PM to 01:57 PM

Best regards.

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.
 
From my experience:

Many years ago, I successfully got selected in an organization, ranked 1 in the industry of its kind. It was a matter of pride no doubt. I joined on the most auspicious day, agreed as best day by every astrologer. Things were very good and sailing was very smooth in the beginning. There was promise of brighter and brighter years ahead. It apparently was beginning of brightest future ahead. But it lasted hardly half a year. Slowly pressures and challenges started. Promised made initially were withdrawn. From one point of time battle on all sides was the norm, with stakeholders, with management, with peers, with subordinates etc. To cut a long story short, in less than 2 years I was unceremoniously removed. (That organization no longer exists and that industry also is a history forgotten. That is another pathetic story.)

From then on I put a full stop to seeking astrologers for advise.

However my faith in God, never dimmed. I trusted in God and God alone. Believed in God and God alone. Sought God and only God with all my heart, soul and might. God never disappointed me.

I got jobs in the same industry. I also switched to other industries.

Eventually I landed in an organization, an MNC, the most popular, globally ranked 2nd in its kind, in its country, a superpower. Served 18 years. Had a roaring career and success. Retired with great honors. There were challenges in this organization also but I always emerged winner. I trusted only in God. I trusted not in men.

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.

Exactly!

You've arrived at this point in this space-time continuum = the sum of your likes, dislikes, and opinions reflects the cumulative impact of our life journey. You are what you are stating your opinion and/or giving advice because of what you feel. Another would see that differently.

My personal motto – to help where possible and at the very least not hinder, if I cannot offer assistance, but I try to help point the enquirer in the general direction I think that may provide an answer to his query. Seek & you shall find. Therein lies, the crux of the journey intended for all involved in this scenario.

The point, your Karma brought you to deal with charlatans & less than experienced astrologers, colleagues & co workers, etc. That doesn't invalidate the guidance of the seers & sages who devised the system.

We all have different starting points depending on where we are on our spiritual evolutionary ladder. You have yours, the gentleman his together with his son & me engaging with you & him & sharing with the other members some constructive discussions.

Live & let live, I say.

Regards.
 
Extra note:

For the uninformed & unaware...

I aim to provide advice on identifying generally auspicious time periods within a day, excluding personalized calculations based on individual birth data, for those lacking expertise in general Panchangam calculations.

In relation to Mr Nathan's enquiry...

One is,

Vijaya Muhurtham
(similar effects to Abhijit Muhurtham):
02:24 PM to 03:07 PM
However, this slot on this day also overlaps with Gulikai Kalam, so best to avoid it.

Another good period to consider is,

Amrita Kalam:
01:04 AM to 02:52 AM

However, the above time slot, while potentially considered auspicious, may be deemed inappropriate in this instance for entering a school campus due to logistical &/or practical reasons.

In Vedic Astrology (Jotidam/Jyotish), the “Amrita Kalam” (which appears every day), period is an auspicious time believed to be conducive to commencing new endeavors & significant activities.

The “Amrita Kalam” is often described as a period when the "doorway of utmost desire" is swung open, granting access to an intensified state of bliss & liberation. It is associated with positive energy & is often linked to the concept of immortality.

This applies not only to humans but also to celestial beings, Devas/angels & Asuras/demons. During this time, humans, often burdened by their struggles, have the opportunity to experience a sense of freedom & liberation parallel to angels & demons, if they connect with the Divine in the correct frequency similar to Brahma Muhurtham (the “Creator’s Hour) - 1 hour & 36 minutes before Sunrise & ends 48 minutes before Sunrise daily.

However, it is important to note that the concept of auspiciousness, just like any of the above-mentioned periods is often influenced by the lunar phase (Paksha) - "Valar Pirai" (Bright Half/Shukla/Waxing Moon) & "Thei Pirai" (Dark Half/Krishna/Waning Moon).

Customarily, Tuesdays, governed by the fiery & combative Graha Chevvai (Mars), are often considered inauspicious for commencing new endeavors.

As usually understood, Chevvai (Mangala) Dosham is the term that comes to mind. Many believe that it only affects love partners & spouses. Not true. It will also affect general relationships with everyone one interacts with daily if the severity (degree) of the Dosham is intense enough.

Traditionally, Saturdays, ruled by the Graha Saturn (Shani, the tough Task Master & Lord of Karma/the only weird planet with rings around it), have been associated with somber, introspective, & sometimes challenging energies. This association has led to the belief that they are generally less auspicious for undertaking new ventures, particularly those related to joy, celebration, or growth.

Saturdays are ideal for activities related to the deceased, funeral rites, or even practices associated with darker energies (black magic). This is not a universally held belief but still practiced by Tantrics (especially if it coincides with Amavasai/Moonless night in an inauspicious month , Tithi & Nakshatra.).

The modern-day practice of providing Muhurthams (notably for marriages/starting a new chapter in life) by Pandits/Purohits/astrologers is a shift towards greater convenience disregarding concepts initiated by our great seers & sages. I can or cannot say if this is truly right or wrong but I, personally, don’t condone or encourage it.

Ultimately, the choice of when to undertake an activity rests with the individual but understanding the traditional associations with Shani & considering the general potential negative energy of the day can help guide us better in decision-making.

However, the auspiciousness of “Amrita Kalam” or any of the slots listed above is contingent upon the overall astrological context. The presence of an inauspicious Yoga (in this context, an unfavorable planetary configuration) can diminish or negate its positive influence. Therefore, a comprehensive assessment of all planetary positions & Yogas is necessary.

While “Amrita Kalam” inherently possesses beneficial qualities, a strong inauspicious Yoga may introduce challenges or hinder the success of activities initiated during this time.

Experienced astrologers typically consider both factors, “Amrita Kalam's” auspiciousness & the strength of any concurrent inauspicious Yogas, when providing guidance.

Conversely, a potent “Amrita Kalam” might mitigate the negative effects of a weaker inauspicious Yoga.

Ultimately, seeking a personalized electional (selective) astrological consultation from a competent astrologer (not me; I'm knowledgeable through research & self-study, but not an expert per se) is recommended for informed decision-making. This is because individual charts & circumstances should be considered, as one Muhurtham may be suitable for a particular activity but unsuitable for another.

In Tamil & Malayalee communities, "Kari Naal" (Black Day) or "Poison Day" designates specific days (33 in a year) marked by intense solar radiation, considered inauspicious for new beginnings or auspicious ceremonies. These days, occurring from sunrise to sunrise, are believed to be associated with excessive harmful heat rays. Interestingly, some months may have more than one Kari Naal, with a maximum of three in some cases.

While considered inauspicious for most activities, some believe these "Kari Naal" days hold unique spiritual significance for those engaging in specific rituals & practices. For example, the observance of Rishi Panchami, a festival honoring revered sages, often falls on a “Kari Naal”, suggesting that these days can be utilized for spiritual purification & seeking forgiveness. The specific rituals & practices associated with these days are likely to vary depending on individual beliefs & traditions.

There is another inauspicious day termed as "Daniya Naal," the concept of a "Segregated Day" in Tamil & Malayalee communities again similar to "Kari Naal".

The concept of setting aside inauspicious days for introspection, contrasting with the auspicious Brahma Muhurtham, is common in Hinduism. We experience both positive & negative aspects of material & spiritual life; one cannot exist without the other.

Finding a perfectly auspicious Muhurtham is difficult. Astrologers typically weigh factors according to Panchangam guidelines, aiming for a balance. A Muhurtham with more positive than negative aspects is considered favorable; absolute perfection is unattainable, mirroring the imperfection of creation.

We are part of the source but can never fully be it. After life's drama, we return to the source. The Creator/Director, perhaps bored with inactivity, creates the universe/multiverse & so forth - a theater of life, struggle, joy, pain, & death - for amusement over & over again in endless cycles. Yugas are grand productions, like “Thiruvilaiyadal”, no? They guide us toward salvation, but also find amusement in our struggles. We are, in a sense, the ants they play with.

Just some thoughts to mull over.

Thank you for reading!
