Muhurta is an important part of astrology which tells about the success or failure of any work being done at the present time. If any work is done in an auspicious time, then its result also comes in an auspicious form accordingly. On the contrary, the result of the work done in an inauspicious time also comes in an inauspicious form accordingly.

The meaning of the word “Muhurta” is taken from the Vedic Time itself, from a fixed period of time i.e. 2 ghadi or 48 minutes. The work done in auspicious time is fruitful. The work done in an inauspicious time leads to destruction. This is the basic concept of Muhurta to determine auspicious or inauspicious. The basis of astrology is to determine the future of every work or event at the time of its occurrence by the ascendant and planetary position etc. When a child is born, the planetary position at that time determines its future. Similarly, the time when any action- reaction is done, the planetary position of that time is the regulator of success-failure.

If we see from an esoteric point of view, the ideological basis of Native and Muhurta is the same. When Marriage, House-Building, House-Inauguration, Business, travel etc. are done, then the planetary position of that time determines the future happiness or sorrow of that work or event. So, Muhurta help us in taking the best decision in present time for ensuring the success of that decision in future. In modern time, Muhurta help us in deciding the initiating time of any work or event so that concerned work can be done successfully. Muhurta is widely used today in various kind of work or we can say almost any kind of work, like “Grih Pravesh, Neev Sthaapana, Vyapar Prarambh, Vahan Kraya, Namkaran Sanskar, Jalwa Poojan, Mundan Sanskar, Vivah Sanskar, Sagai, Yatra, Shapath Grahan” etc.
