The next line if sun changes the sign or rasi that day it will have a line SN: which means sun and the rasi after that is the rasi sun is changing ch anging to the time is the time when sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. (SN: Makara 4:36). This is also known as samkranti. For ex ample: Makara samkaranti is when sun enters makara rashi (This also b ecomes Thai(Makara mase) month for tamil calendar). Likewise the same rule applies to the other samkrantis. Sun's rasi names can be also names for hindu solar month names. For example: Tamil calendar uses sun's rasi names as their solar months. The Tamil calendar is a derivative of the old Hindu solar calendar and is based on the sidereal year. Tamil solar month names are a re Chiththirai (Mesha), Vaikasi (Vrishabha), Aani (Mithuna), Aadi (Karka), Aavani (Simha), Purattasi (Kanya), Aippasi (Tula), Karthikai (Vrishika), Markazhi (Dhanu), Thai (Makara), Maasi (Kumbha), Panguni (Mina). six hours before and after from the Note for Muhurtha: Please avoid day of eclipse and the six time of samkranti for any good work / muhurtha. However this samkranti time is good for donation, satyanaraya puja but not good for Weddings, Graha Pravesha etc.
The next line is MN: which means moon sign changes, which means moon and the rasi after that is the rasi moon is changing to the time is the time when moon will enter that rasi or sign on that day. if moon occupies that rasi for whole day you'll observe (full) right after the rasi name. (MN: Mithuna 20:38) weddings, and other A Note on chandra bala in muhurtha: Chandra Balam is important in weddings, rituals. Tarabalam is more subtle. Counting from your moon rashi (Hindu rashi) to the day's chandra rashi if the count is 1,3,6,7,10,11 then that day will be good for you.
The RK : means the Rahu kalam (Tamizh: Raghu kalam). The rising period of R ahu is considered inauspicious in the South as he is considered a malefic for auspicious functions. The time frame indicates rahu kalam duration. (RK:09:03-10:06). Please avoid this time for your muhurtha.
The YM: means the Yamagandam kalam. Yamaganda is the son of Guru and he is also considered inauspicious. The time frame indicates yama kalam duration. (YM:11:09-12:12). Please avoid this time for your muhurtha.
The GK : means the Gulika kalam (Gulikai). Gulika is also called Mandi (i. e. the son of Manda alias Shani). His rising period is also not auspicious. Th e time frame indicates Gulika kalam duration. (GK:09:03-10:06). Please avoid this time for your muhurtha. Rahu kalam, Yama kalam, Gulika (Kulika) needs to be avoided as they are inauspicious times.
The AJ: means Abhijit Muhurtha (AJ: 12:30- 13:18). It is Sri Hari Vishnu's time. When you don't have any muhurtham you can use this time if its not overlapped by rahu kalam or durmuhurtham, or varjyam. On Wednesday abhijit muhurtham is bad as its the same time as durmuhurtham, hence we gave only durmuhurtham time on wednesday not the abhijit muhurtha time. For other days please check rahu kalam as well.
The DM: means Durmuhurtha (DM:: 10:34- 11:22, 15:22- 16:10) means first Durmuhurtham starts at 10:34 AM till 11:22 AM and the next one starts at 15:22 PM to 16:10 PM. These times should be avoided for any good ceremonies.
The V:: means Varjyam or Vishagatika (V:30:00-31:37) means va rjyam starts at 6:00 AM of following day and lasts till 7:37 AM of following da y. There could be more than one varjyam line. This time is not a good time. Please avoid in all muhurthams. Please donot perform annaprasana samskara in this time as this this visha-gatika time.
The AK:: means Amritkala (AK: 15:13- 16:53) means Amrita kala starts at 3:13 PM till 16:53 period. This is a good time. There could be more than one Amrit kala line. This time is good for annaprasanam samskara as well as other rituals.
About Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam: What most online panchangam, and other panchangam give rahukalam which is fixed for every day of the week, for example Sunday 4.30 - 6.00, Monday 7.30 - 9.00, Tuesday 15.00- 16.30, Wed. 12.00 - 13.30, Thursday 13.30 15.00, Friday 10.30-12.00, Saturday 9.00-10.30. These times are given based on assumption that sun rises and set at 6:00 AM/PM. Which is completely wrong as the sun doesn't rise at 6:00AM and sets at 6:00PM for most part of the world every day. People who live in North America, Europe, Australia and other places where in summer sun rises at 4:00 AM (with the daylight time added 5:00 AM) and sets at 8:00 PM, and in winter sun rises at 8:00 PM and sets at 3:45 PM this rahu kalam time given above is off by hours then minutes (as one of my learned friend argued the world is not going to change if rahukalam is off by minutes, we are not talking about minutes but hours. For example in winter in certain places (America, Europe, Australia, etc..) if sun rises at 8:10AM and rahukalam duration is 7:30AM to 9:00 AM, sunrise doesn't happen till 8:10AM , so you are off by 40 minutes here (not some minutes, and it will not at at 9:00 could very well
end just after 9:00AM). Now on Thursdays, Yamagadam is from 6:00AM to 7:30AM(According to the fix calculations assuming sun rises at 6:00 AM), and being winter sunrises at 8:10 AM, so your yamagandam has already passed before sunrise? aren't you off by one and half hour?. Rahukalam, Yamaganadam doesn't start till sunrise. Even in India if you live further north, the sun will rise earlier than 6 AM in summer and will set after 6 PM. Check the sunrise and sunset time of your local newspapers and if not look into our panchangam you'll notice that in 99% of the world sun will never rise at 6:00 AM and will set at 6:00 PM most of time (99% of time). You be the judge which rahukalam needs to be taken, precise or fix rahu kalam. Its your muhurtham, so you be the judge. Even if you took the fix one the world is not going to end but if you want to follow rahukalam why not the precise one? The fix rahu kalam is taken for ease of calculation, and simplicity. So it is important to calculate rahukalam and other information by subtracting the sunset from sunrise and divide by 8 and then use that as a kalam interval. The data provided here is based on actual precise method of arriving Rahu Kalam, Yama kalam (Yama Ganadam), and Gulika Kalam. About Chogadia Table: Chogadia used for checking auspicious time to start new work. Traditionally chogadia is used only for travel muhurthas onl y but due to simplicity it is used widely for any muhurtha. There are four good chogadia to start auspicious work -- Amrit, Shubh, Labh and Chal . Three bad chaugadia are Rog, kaal, Udyog . Mostly people calculate chogadia from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM which is wrong as sun doesn't rise at 6:00 AM and doesn't set at 6:00 PM. The actual way is to calculate dinamana and divide by 8 an each kala will be day chogadia's kala and likewise divide ratrimana by 8 and each kala will be night's chogadia kala. We have provided link with the chogadia table at the top of every panchangam presented here and they are calculated based on that places' sunrise, and sunset.
Lagna Table. Lagna is the rising sign on the eastern horizon at a given time and a given place. This changes from place to place, Hence we need longitude and latitude of the place for correct lagna. That's the another reason why indian muhurtham calculated for india can't be used outside of india, even after subtracting the time difference. Lagna has very important role in muhurtham. Lagna shuddhi removes most evils and without lagna shuddhi it gives all bad yogas. At the time of muhurtha There shouldn't be an y evil grahas / planets in kendra sthana of muhurtha kundli. That is Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu. The good planets should be in kendra(1/4/7/10) and tikona sthana (5/9) Mercury, Jupiter, and Venus. This lagna can be obtained by using lagna table calculated in our panchangam for each place's panchang. This langna is the rasi in first house. For any place in the world, the Sun will be always in the first house during the sunrise, during the midday sun will be in the 10th house, during the evening sun will be in 7th house, and during the midnight sun will be in the 4th house. Some astrologers even knowing this fact makes the same mistake of subtracting appropriate time differences from indian muhurtha and give out wrong muhurtha (unknowingly). Good Lagna for Grahapravesha: Vrishabha (2), Mithuna, Simha, Kanya, Vrischika, Dhanu, Kumbha, and Mina.
Panchaka Rahita Vidhi for Muhurtha - Important ceremonies such as marriage, nuptials, entry into new houses, etc., this should be carefully looked into. There are several methods by which panchaka is determined. The most common method is to add following and divide by the number 9:
The number of the lunar day (from the 1st of the month). You can find the tithi in our panchangam. It's marked with T:. The time after tithi is the time when the tithi ends.
The number of the weekday, Sunday 1, Monday 2, Tuesday 3. etc.). You can find the day in our panchangam. It's the top most header of the column. For the night time muhurtha please don't change the day. Indian day is from one sunrise to another sunrise.
The number of the constellation (from Aswini 1, Bharani 2, etc..). You can find the nakshatra in our panchangam. It's marked with N:. The time after the nakshatra is the time when the nakshatra ends.
The number of the Lagna (from Aries/Mesha 1, Tauras/Vrishabha 2, etc...). You can find the lagna from our lagna table for your city.
Now add these together and divide the total by 9. If the remainder is 1,2,4,6, or 8 then it indicate bad results as follows:
1 (mrityu panchakam), it indicates danger.
2 (agni panchakam), risk from fire.
4 (raja panchakam), bad results.
6 (chora panchakam), evil happenings.
8 (roga panchakam), disease.
