Muhurta – Selection of the
best time is one of the important part of Jyotisha. “Abhijit Muhurta” is a
powerful election as per Hindu astrology. Abhijit refers to “winner” and Muhurta
means “auspicious time”.
It has power to annihilate
/ destroy numerous malevolent influences in elections, This election is as or
similarly powerful as Vijay Dashmi, Ravi Yoga, Sade-Teen Muhurta,
Sarva-Karya-Arambha Muhurta, Gow-Dhuli, and Vijay Muhurta & Amrit Ghatis
for initiating a wide spectrum of life activities.
It is believed that success is assured if work is
done at the right time. Generally, to find an auspicious Muhurta: day, date, Nakshtra
(constellation), Yoga (conjunction), and day-duration are analysed; on the
basis of which success can be ensured. But, these calculations are a bit
difficult and can only be done by a Panchang expert. In such a situation,
Abhijit Muhurta is the best for common people who don’t know much about
Panchang. Abhijit Muhurta is an auspicious time period that occurs every day
and in which any auspicious task can be performed.
This muhurta is capable of removing all the
doshas prevalent at that time.
Calculations of Abhijit Muhurta
Abhijit Muhurta is calculated on the basis of
sunrise and sunset at the particular place or the city. Abhijit Muhurta starts
from 24 minutes before the local Noon time and remains till 24 minutes after
the noon time. The total time of Abhijit Muhurta is 48 minutes for a twelve
hour day. But duration of Abhijit may change depending upon the dinmaan (day Length).
In other words Abhijit Muhurta is the 8th
muhurta of the fifteen muhurta of the day (the entire day is divided into 30 Muhurtas).
It is also known and famous as Vijay Muhurat. According to the Narad Puran
Abhijit Muhurta is the fourth lagna from the lagna at the time of sunrise.
For variable length of daytime its duration
should be calculated proportional to non-nocturnal (daytime) length.
Proportional election time (total duration) of this election is 15th part of
the daytime length. Thus at a place of activity on a given day the election
shall be current during:
LNT ± [(proportional election time) ÷ 2]
= [(Sunset time + Sunrise time) ÷2] ± [(Sunset
time – Sunrise time) ÷ 30]
For example if Sunrise is at 07.00 IST & the
Sunset time is 18.00 IST at a place of an activity then, its total duration
shall be 44 minutes (11 ÷12 x 48 = 44 m). Local Noon Time shall be 12.30 IST.
The said election time shall start from 12.08 & ends at 12.52 IST (12.30 ±
22 m).
Example- To calculate the Abhijit muhurta at any
place
Let’s assume
Sunrise at – 05:30
Sunset at -18:30
Local Noon Time (LNT) = (1830+0530)/2=12hr
Abhijit Muhurta=LNT± (Sun set- Sun rise)/30
=12± (1830-0530)/30 hrs
=12±13/30hrs
=12±26minutes
In the above example the length of day is 13 hrs.
That is why the standard duration of Abhijit muhurta changes from 48 minutes to
52(26x2) minutes.
This Muhurta has blessing of Lord Vishnu who
destroys innumerable Doshas with His Sudarshan Chakra during the currency of
this Muhurta. Lord Shiva killed a powerful demon named Tripurasur, who captured
the three world, Akash, Prithvi, Pataal with his immense power in this Muhurta.
Abhijit Muhurta is eligible for almost all
auspicious tasks like house-warming ceremony, marriage, traveling for the first
time regarding work, starting a new work, starting a new venture, repaying
debts, investing money, or performing any Puja etc.
Limitations of Abhijit Muhurta
Additionally, no auspicious task should be
performed during the Abhijit Muhurta of Wednesday. This muhurta loses its
beneficence on Wednesday. As on Wednesdays Abhijit Muhurta forms a malefic
muhurta, it coincide with the Rahu-Kaal.
Last but
not least this muhurta should be used in emergencies when no other suitable
times are available otherwise one may fails to harness the richness of other
Muhurtas available on that day.
Same way at midnight 1 Ghati on the either side
of Midnight is Abhijit muhurta.
One
thing that needs to be mentioned is that Abhijit Muhurta and Abhijit Nakshtra
(constellation) has no direct relation with each other. But, if Abhijit Muhurta
and Abhijit Nakshtra falls together, it is considered extremely auspicious. It is
said that Lord Krishna born in this muhurta during night and Lord Rama was born
during this muhurta in day time.
It has power to annihilate / destroy numerous
malevolent influences in elections. However, its efficacy is enhanced by
presence of special Muhurta Yogas. This election is that powerful that some
exponents have praised to the extent that when a suitable election is not
available, it can be selected for fruition of the desi

ReplyDeleteAbhijit muhurta overlaps with rahu kalam on friday to an extent so would it be ok to use the part of abhijit muhurta that does not overlap.
ReplyDeleteYou mention abhijit muhurta same as vijay muhurta but sites like drikpanchang give a different time for vijay muhurta. Why doesnt panchang list 1 ghati on both sides on midnight as abhijit muhurta but lists only the one around midday.
