Vedic astrology, also known as Jyotish Shastra, is an ancient Indian science that has been practiced for over 5,000 years. Rooted in the Vedas, it studies the positions and movements of celestial bodies to understand their influence on human life, helping individuals make informed decisions about important life events.
Panchang, meaning 'five limbs,' is the Hindu calendar system that provides five essential elements for each day: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar constellation), Yoga (auspicious combination), Karana (half-tithi), and Vaar (weekday). These elements help determine the auspiciousness of any moment for various activities like weddings, business ventures, or spiritual practices.
Choghadiya divides each day and night into eight periods of approximately 96 minutes each. Each period is ruled by a planet and classified as auspicious, neutral, or inauspicious. By consulting Choghadiya before starting important tasks, you can align your actions with favorable cosmic energies for better outcomes.
Muhurat refers to an auspicious time window calculated using Vedic astrology principles. It combines multiple factors including Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, and planetary positions to identify the most favorable moments for beginning important activities. A well-chosen muhurat is believed to enhance the success and positive outcomes of any endeavor.
