Muhurtha

Muhurtha by Satyanarayana Naik is a practical guide to the principles of Muhurtha (Electional Astrology), the branch of Vedic astrology that determines the most auspicious time for beginning important activities. Drawing from classical texts and traditional astrological rules, the book explains how selecting the right moment can enhance the likelihood of success while minimizing obstacles. It provides readers with a systematic approach to choosing favorable timings for personal, professional, religious, and social events.

The author discusses the essential components of Muhurtha, including the roles of Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Lagna, planetary strengths, planetary transits (Gochara), and the Panchanga. The book explains how these factors are evaluated together when selecting auspicious timings for marriage, housewarming (Griha Pravesh), business openings, property purchase, travel, education, surgery, religious ceremonies, investments, and other significant undertakings. It also covers common doshas (inauspicious combinations), their exceptions, and traditional remedial measures, supported by practical examples that help readers apply Muhurtha principles confidently.
