Description
What is Muhurata?
Muhurata is a unit of time in which planets and Nakshatras are aligned in a benefic position. A task performed in an auspicious Muhurata minimizes the obstacles and maximizes the chances of success & satisfaction.
What is the importance of Muhurata?
The custom of adhering Muhurata is older than the tales. Shastras say beginning/performing a specific task in a certain Muhurata yields the desired outcomes.
When any work is commenced in an auspicious time, obstacles are removed, and desired results are obtained. Conversely, if any work is commenced in an inauspicious time, there are obstacles, the work is spoiled, and sometimes the work is not done at all.
Is Muhurata always needed?
There is a particular Muhurata for doing small to bigger tasks. In aeon, people used to consider Muhurata for every small task. However, if not all, then Muhurata must be adhered for some important works or ceremonies like beginning construction, buying property, buying a vehicle, travelling, marriage, naming ceremony of the child, and opening a new shop/factory/office, etc. Why? Because these are some of the events that happen occasionally, but make a lasting difference, for which it becomes inevitable to perform them in auspicious Muhurata only.
