Muhurta in Vedic Astrology

In Taittiriya Brāhmaṇas, muhūrta denotes a division of time: one-thirtieth of a day, or a period of forty-eight minutes, means 24 hours (60 Ghati) in a day are divided into 30 muhurtas.

So, 1 Day = 24 hours (60 Ghati) and

1Day is also = 30 muhurtas

This means 30 muhurtas = 24 hours (60 Ghati)

          1 muhurta = 48 minutes (2 Ghati)

24 hours of the day and night are further divided in 8 prahars 4 prahars during the daytime and 4 during night time. One Prahar on an average is three hours or seven and a half muhurtas. 4 Prahar from Sunrise are Purvanh (पूर्वान्ह), madhyanah (मध्यान्ह), aprahnah (अपरान्ह) and Sanykala (सायंकाल).

The 28 nakshatra map into the 28 muhurtas starting from sunrise and the remaining two muhurta before sunrise are attributed to the Brahma. These two muhurta taken together (96 minutes before sunrise) are loosely called as Brahma Muhurta. However, they are different in their energy and are better understood as Brahma and Surya (or Savitur to be more precise) being both Creators yet different. Brahma is the deity of Saturn and is associated with rebirth of the soul and this 29th Muhurta is excellent for meditation on the reasons for our creation, the purpose of this birth and realisation of the self and God whereas the 30th Muhurta is best for praying to the creator Savitur for impelling our intelligence in the right direction, burning the sins that led to rebirth and recovering from the curses and dridha karma of past births. This time is known as Brahma muhurat because this is the perfect time for gaining Brahma Gyan. Rishi Sushurut defined this time as Amrit Bela (the nectar time).

Astrological analysis of Muhurta

Panchang for the day of Ceremony

Samvat -2074

Masa - Pausha (Mal-Masa)

Day - Saturday

Tithi - Krishan Chaturdashi

Sign rising - Aquarius

Nakshtra - Anuradha

Karan - Vishti

Yoga - Dhriti

Moon in Scorpio (Neecha Rashi)

Sun - Sagittarius ( Sun has just entered Sagittarius sign)

Rahul Gandhi takes over as Party President on Krishna Chaturdashi. Chaturdashi Tithi is known as Rikta tithi. And Chaturdashi Tithi in Krishna Paksha is also blind tithi.

Rikta Tithis are favorable only for undesirable activities. Moreover Tithi lord Saturn is Combust and poorly disposed.

Although Saturday being a fixed day can be considered auspicious for coronation. Nakshtra Anuradha is also favourable for taking oath. 

On the event day Sun just entered Sagittarius (Sankranti) in Muhurta. For any auspicious activity Sankranti time is to be avoided. It is seen those things begun under Sankranti have only a transitional

influence and do not reach the expected conclusion. Sankranti is, therefore, particularly unfavorable for events of long-term significance. 

Moon 6th lord is posited in Scorpio (Neecha Rashi of Moon).

Lagna Lord and 9th Lord are combust and 5th Lord is retrograde. 9L and 5L both planets week posited in 10 house of status and position. 

Karna Vishti (Bhadra) - Vishti Karana are unfavorable for most beneficial activities. if the Karana is unfavorable at the time of beginning any beneficial activity, the work that will be required to maintain the activity and to bring it to a successful conclusion will be more than it is felt to be worth.

For Good Muhurta, there should be Benefics Venus, mercury and Moon are in Kendra but Venus is combust, Mercury is retrograde and Moon debilitated. and malefics in 3,6,11, here there are malefics in 6th and 11th house.

The Planetary positions for a good muhurat are missing.

CHAUGHADIA MUHURTA

Muhurta is essentially a measure of time which refers to the application of Vedic astrology wisdom in determining the auspicious time for starting an event so that it goes through in all probability smoothly and without hurdles. Simply put, it is the time we ‘elect’ (or select) to begin important events in life.

Muhurta' is a vast subject in itself but 'Chaughadia-muhurtas' provide a quick and quite effective reference table to any person who does not have access to a well-qualified Vedic astrologer or does not have time to consult him/her for any reason. You may define the 'Chaughadia-muhurtas' as general public's election astrology.

Synonyms of Chaughadia are #Chogadia, #Chaughadia, #Chaturshtika

Cho-Gadhiya means four Ghadi (4 घडी)/Ghati – (Ghadi (now used for a clock in Hindi) is an ancient measure for calculations of time in India roughly equivalent to 24 minutes. Cho-Gadhiya means four Ghadi which totals to 96 minutes. Most of Chaughadia are of approximate 96 minutes duration)

Where 1Ghati (घडी) / = 24 minutes

So 4Ghati (घडी) = 4*24 = 96 minutes

So, 96 Minutes of time in a day is known as one Chaughadia.

Chaughadia is normally used for checking intraday auspicious time to start new work. Traditionally Chaughadia is used for travel muhurtas but due to its simplicity it is used for any muhurta.

In Hindu System day start with Sunrise and ends on next Sunrise. The period between Sunrise to next Sunrise is divided into two parts – Day and Night

Daytime – also known as Dinamana the period from sunrise to sunset

Nighttime – also known as Ratrimana, the period from sunset to sunrise.

This way 24 hours of a day are divided into 16time segments of approximately one and a half hours each (i.e., approx. 3.75 Ghati). Each of these time segments is called a Chaughadia due to its approximate duration of 3.75 Ghati. These Chaughadia are of 7 types and are either good or bad or medium (neutral) in nature.

Each period is divided into eight Chaughadia. The daytime difference is arrived at by calculating the difference between Sunrise and Sunset and dividing the same by 8.

8th part so got is called Day Chaughadia

Same way, eight equal divisions are done for time duration from sun-set to next day’s sun-rise (‘Ratrimana’) and allotted to 7 types of night-time ‘Chaughadia’ in a pre-determined order decided by weekday. Again, six ‘Chaughadia’ get 1 division each in their share while one ‘Chaughadia’ gets 2 divisions.

 There are total seven Chaughadia muhurtas out of which four are auspicious Chaughadia, Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Char, to start auspicious work.

The rest three are considered bad or inauspicious Chaughadia, Rog, Kaal and Udveg, should be avoided.

The time between sunrise and sunset is called day Chaughadia and the time between sunset and next day sunrise is called night Chaughadia.

All-important works should be commenced during a favorable Chaughadia

Amrit, Shubh and Labh are favorable Chaughadia s.

Char is an intermediate Chaughadia.

Udveg, Rog and Kaal are unfavorable Chaughadias.

The seven types of ‘Chaughadia’ are as follows:
Division	Chaughadia Name	Ruling Plant	Effect	Works recommended
1.	‘Udveg’ (Anxiety)	Sun	Bad	Govt. related work
2.	‘Amrit’ (Nector)	Moon	Good	All types of works
3.	‘Roga’ (Illness)	Mars	Bad	Attacks, war, fights, debates
4.	‘Labh’ (Profit)	Mercury	Good	Starting a Business
5.	‘Shubh’ (Auspicious)	Jupiter	Good	Marriage, religious activities,
6.	‘Chara’ (or 'Chala') (Moving)	Venus	Medium	Travel
7.	‘Kaala’ (Death)	Saturn	Bad	Wealth building activities

Thus, to determine a good time to commence/initiate important works or to start a new venture or to start anything auspicious - select a good ‘Chaughadia’. Any good work or travel should be preferably started in a Good Chaughadia only.

चर में चक्र चलाइये , उद्वेगे थलगार ।

शुभ में स्त्री श्रृंगार करे,लाभ में करो व्यापार ॥

रोग में रोगी स्नान करे ,काल करो भण्डार ।

अमृत में काम सभी करो , सहाय करो कर्तार ॥

Any Chaughadia division could be good or bad depending on the weekday and time of the day. Scriptures say that if a work is started in good ‘Chaughadia’ and other Muhurta determining factors (such as ‘Tithi’, ‘Yoga’, Nakshatra’ etc.) are also favourable, it is almost certain to get success in that work or effort.

The sequence of day-time and night-time Chaughadias varies for each week day. However, the sequence is fixed and does not change for each week day. For example, the sequence for Monday is different to that for Tuesday, which in turn is different to that for Wednesday. But the sequence for each Monday is the same, as also for each Tuesday.

The first Chaughadia of the day is decided based on the ruling deity of the day. Thus, on Sunday the first Chaughadia Muhurta would be ruled by the Sun followed by Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter and Sun. The prevailing Lord during the Chaughadia division makes it bad or good.
