Validating Muhartham

You can validate Muhartham on you own. This Muhartham would any auspicious day in your life, for example Marriage, Gruha Pravesam, Akshara+Abyasam, etc..

There are specific rules to validate Muhartham for each occation, i.e. for Marriage Muhartham there are some rules and for Gruhapravesm there are other things to consider.  But for any Muhartham, It is been agreed that, It should be Panchaka Rahitam. Here in the below paragraphs, I'm providing information to check panchaka rahitam. Please note that, this Panchaka Rahitam is something like first condition to be checked for all muharthas. If any Muhartham is not panchaka rahitam, it implies that, given muhartham is not good to follow.

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). For krishna paksha add 15 to the tithi. For example, Krishna paksha padyami to be 16, and amavaysa to be 30.

    * The number of the weekday, Sunday 1, Monday 2, Tuesday 3. etc.). 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..)

    * The number of the Lagna (from Aries/Mesha 1, Tauras/Vrishabha 2, etc...).

Now add these together and divide the total by 9. If the remainder is 3, 5, 7 or zero then it is good.

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.
Let us consider following wedding muhartham: Bahula Saptami(7), Thursday(5), Anuradha Nakshatra(17), Meena Lagna(12)

Total is 7+5+17+12=41
by dividing 41 with 9, reminder will be 5. That means The above muhartam is good one.
