Auspicious muhurta for Deepawali pujan on 28th October 2008

[Guest guest]

Dear group members

 

The great Indian festival, called " Deepawali " is round-the-corner. It is

the festival of lights and a occasion to worship Goddess Luxmi (Goddess

of wealth and money). Deepawali would be celebrated on coming " Amavasya "

(the last day of dark half of the Moon) on 28th October 2008 (Tuesday).

 

Every devout Hindu would be worshipping Goddess Luxmi on 28th october

2008 and would be praying her to bestow her blessing on his/her family

in the coming year and bring prosperity in their lives.

 

As the matter is related to the Goddess of " Wealth " and " Money " , the

most desired objects in today's materialistic world, everybody is also

very concerned that Goddess Luxmi should be worshipped in most

appropriate manner and at most appropriate time (in " Shubh muhurta " or

" auspicious muhurta " ).

 

All regional language newspapers and TV-channels would be

publishing/telecasing timings of " Shubh muhurta for Deepawali pujan "

calculated by their own panel of astrologers. The conflict in their

timings would add to the woes of common man who is eager to know the

best auspicious time to worship Goddess Luxmi. He will run from one

astrologer to another, and in the process would get more confused.

 

There are different types of Muhurtas on this very important day for

different purposes. However, for a common man, basic principles of

finding the auspicious muhurta are as follows:

 

1. It should be within a " Fixed ascendant " ( " Sthira-lagna " ). The fixed

ascendants are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. A person with little

knowledge of astrology and access to any astrology software can easily

find out the duration of a fixed ascendant for his current location.

 

2. It should be an auspicious " Chaughadia " . The " Amrit " , " Shubh " and

" Laabh " are Good (favourable) Chaughadiyas. The " Chara " is a Medium

Chaughadia. The " Udwega', " Roga " and " Kaala " are Bad (unfavourable)

Chaughadiyas. Goddess Luxmi should be worshipped in " Amrit " , " Shubh " or

" Laabh " chaughadias only.

 

The best muhurta would be the time when there is a fixed ascendant and a

good chaughadia, both smulateneously running. The muhurta timings would,

of-course, differ according to geo-graphical coordinates of the place.

 

Exact Chaughadia timings for any place on this earth may be known
