Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 > A muhurta is a period of approximately 48 minutes, correct? Yes. > Howis the half of a muhurta called? 1 nadi. 1 nadi = 360 respirations (24 minutes) -- More: 720 respirations = 1 Muhurta (48 minutes) 30 Muhurtas = 1 day The period starting two muhurtas (one hour and 36 minutes) before the sun appears halfway on the horizon is called arunodaya or dawn. The first muhurta of dawn is called brahma muhurta. Brahma muhurta is considered the most auspicious part of the day. One must rise before Brahma Muhurta. Om Shanti Shanti Shanti.

Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 The "hour" of Indian time-reckoning was called the muhurta, which had a duration that was equivalent to 48 minutes according to time as it is measured in the modern world. A single day consisted of 30 of these time periods. The muhurta was in turn broken down into 720 units of respiration. One equinoctial day consisted of 21,600 breaths: 10,800 breaths of daylight and 10,800 breaths of darkness. Moreover, the 360-day year of ancient India consisted of 10,800 muhurtas (360 x 30), or 7,776,000 breaths (360 x 21,600). 10 long syllables = 1 respiration or prana (four seconds) 6 respirations = 1 vinadi (24 seconds) 360 respirations = 1 nadi (24 minutes) 720 respirations = 1 muhurta (48 minutes) 10,800 respirations = 15 muhurtas (12 hours) 21,600 respirations = 30 muhurtas (24 hours) 3,888,000 respirations = 5,400 muhurtas (six months) 7,776,000 respirations = 10,800 muhurtas (1 year of 360 days) Regards. --Sanjay Aggarwal , moon_81_surfer <moon_81_surfer> wrote: > Not nadi? > > obchristenson <ochristenson@m...> wrote:> A muhurta is a period of approximately 48 minutes, correct? > > Howis the half of a muhurta called? > > Answer: Ghati > > > > ~!
