GOOD and BAD MUHURTAS
BASED ON YEAR
1.Chaandra Maana or Lunar Year : Consists of 12 maasaa
starting with Chaitra maasa.
2.Saaurya Maana or Solar Year: It consists of 12 months
from Mesham to Meenam.
3.Saavan Maana: This year consists of 12 months of
3 days each and has 360 days.
4. Nakshatra Manaana: Each month consists of movement
of moon in the Nakshatras from Aswani to Revati
with about 324 days.
5. Baahraspatya Maana: Ths is based on movement of Guru
or Jupiter in different signs and is about 361 days
duration.
Popular Gregorian Calendar generally followed with
leap year etc. 29
GOOD & BAD MUHURTAS-2
In the years based on Baahraspatya Maana (Jupiters
position in a rasi) is linked with performing rites to
ancestors at the banks of a particular river (also called
kumbha meela) – hence it is a common custom in some
parts of India not to perform very important functions like
marriage for those living on the banks of that particular
river during that Baahraspatya Maana year and devote
the year for pitru kaarya. It is important to note that
astrology offers a solution to such situations – where
it is important to perform the marriage – by suggesting
that the above rule can be overcome by performing the
marriage at pilgrimage centers like Tirupati.
