  • How To Find Siddha Amirtha Marana Yoga

    Hindus, in determining auspicious time, take into account, apart from Day,Stars,Thithis(waxing and waning of the Moon),Yoga Karana.

     

    These five, Day, Star, Thithi,Yoga( not the Yoga of Patanjali, here Yoga indicates auspicious/conducive period) and Karana form the basis of Hindu Almanac, called Panchanga(Five limbs).

     

    Kolam/Rangoli .jpg
    Kolam/Rangoli indicate auspiciousness

     

    Apart from the inauspicious time of each day,Rahu Kalam and Yama Kanda(some do not take Yama Kanda  as inauspicious as this time being inauspicious for Yama the God of death, and by reverse Logic is auspicious for the Living)

     

    Not much is known about Yogas, Siddha ,Amirth and Marana.

     

    It would help one to read about Time calculation of the Hindus,

     

    Please check my posts on How to find an auspicious day and Time, Hindus Calculation.

     

    One can cross check the Yoga daily by understanding what it is about.

     

    EIGHT DAYTIME PERIODS—THE KALAS

    The period between sunrise and sunset each day is divided into eight pe- riods. Each period, or kala, lasts approximately one and one-half hours, depending on the total duration of sunlight. Three of the eight kalas are considered most im- portant—Rahu Kala, Yama Kala and Gulika Kala—known collectively as the trini samayam. Rahu Kala is considered malefic for commencing new undertakings. Yama is also an interfering current, but is less influential than Rahu. Yama Kala is considered an auspicious time for antyesti (funeral) rites. Gulika is the most auspi- cious time of the day for commencing new activities.

    Each kala occurs at approximately the same time on each particular day of the week. Thus, Gulika Kala occurs at approximately 7AM every Friday. If you’ve ever wondered why Monday mornings are so infamous, note that Rahu Kala is generally between 7:30 and 9AM every Monday. The trini samayam are listed at the top of column three for each day.

     

    Yogas are Twenty Seven.

     

    ROUTINE OR CREATIVE WORK DAYS—AMRITADI YOGAS

    The resultant of the waves propagated by the planets and the stars on the human psyche are indicated in four degrees. In the Vedic Calendar, this esoteric yoga is listed in bold type in the left column of each day’s designations.

     

    AMRITA YOGA—CREATIVE WORK: Very good for creative types of work and auspicious undertakings.

    SIDDHA YOGA—CREATIVE WORK: Good for creative types of work and auspicious undertakings.

    MARANA YOGA—ROUTINE WORK: Should be avoided for new under- takings and beginning travel. Routine work only.

    PRABALARSHTA YOGA—ROUTINE WORK: Should be absolutely avoided for new undertakings and beginning travel. Routine work only.

     

    How to find the Yogas.

    ” Siddha Yoga:

    This is formed due to the combination of the Tithi and vara

    There are 5 categories of Tithis:

    Nanda  : Pratipad,  Shasthi, Ekadasi

  • How to Find an Auspicious Date/ Day.

    Many of us are flummoxed  when we want to fix an auspicious Day for a function, like shifting of House(Gruhapravesa,Marriages,Religious ceremonies,Bhumsavana,Sreemanta,Nama Karana .

    We try to find a Vadyar or a Pandit and it becomes difficult to find them.

    At times some of them provide us with contradictory information.

    Finding an auspicious Date the Hindu/Indian way is very easy .

    Buy a Panchangam’Almanac, Vaakya or Enkanitha.

    Do not have both, one is likely to get confused.

    If you have your Horoscope ,it is fine or forget it.

    In the Panchanga, Auspicious Days are marked, as Subha Muhurtangal.

    They are good for any function,but for Bhumsavana /Upanayana  separate parameters are available, which I will explain.

    How to find Auspicious Dates other Dates mentioned in Subha Muhurthanga Marriage ,any new endeavor,joining duty and other auspicious occasions?

    Avoid Rahu Kaala and YamaKanda.( This is available in the Panchanga and Daily Calendar)

    Look up the English Month and date in the Panchanga.

    You will find Thithi( waxing and Waning of the Moon-from New Moon to Full Moon is called Sukla Paksha,which is auspicious; Full Moon to New Moon is Krishna Paksha is inauspicious-Avoid Dates falling in Krishna Paksha).

    Avoid Ashtami and Navami Thithis.

    Next is Yoga.

    There are three yogas mentioned.( do not be confused with the Spiritual Yoga being practiced).

    They are Amirtha Yoga,Siddha Yoga and Marana Yoga.

    Avoid Marana Yoga.

    Amirtha is best,Siddha is next Best.

    You will also find Amirtha-Siddha Yoga.

    This is also permitted.

    All Nakshatras are permitted.

    Horais.

    Just like a day has its specialities, each hour of the day also has its own specialities.

    Originally each 24 hour day was split into 60 naazhigais, each 24 minutes long. Thus two and a half nazhigais constitute one modern hour which was known as horai (hora) in ancient times.

    We have Soorya horai, Chandra horai, Angaaraka horai, Budha horai, Guru horai, Sukra horai and Sani horai times during each day.

    Sukra Horai is Ideal.

    How to calculate Horai.
