A bit of good luck never hurt any body.Or is it the belief that we are going to encounter good luck that keeps us in a winning frame of mind?In any case. here are some Hindu beliefs to increase one’s success:
Traditional wisdom informs us that activities done at certain times of the day give good or bad results due to overriding universal influences. There are energies working to move time and events and by following some rules for navigating these energy-significant periods of times we can maximize positive end-results in daily activities while avoiding the negative ones.
Its believed that any activity carried out during Gulika(Flowering Time) period will be repeated once again.So its an auspicious time for starting activities like building a house, buying assets or vehicles. Marriage should not be conducted during this period for obvious reasons.And no dead body should not be taken out of the house to the cremation ground during Gulika.Here is a table showing Gulika for every day of the week.
Any activity or journey, whether of short or long distance, initiated or undertaken during Rahu(Dragon’s Head) Kaalam is believed to meet a significant degree of failure, lack of success ,delay, postponement or no conclusive result.To counteract Rahu Kaalam people avoid commencing important money-related or travel activities, during this time.They leave their current location or have their meetings, or start their activities earlier than or after the Rahu Kaalam period.Of course,you could use Rahu Kaalam to your advantage if you want postponements and delays.Also its considered very auspicious to perfom Durga pooja during Rahu Kaalam.Here is a table showing Rahu Kaalam for every day of the week.
Yamagandam means death time.Only death ceremonies are performed during Yamagandam.Any activity commenced during this time invites the ‘death’ of the work or energies relating to that work.So activities during Yamagandam leads to a failure or destruction of the end-result. Avoid commencing important, money-related or travel activities, during this time.Leave your current location or have your meeting, or start your activity earlier than or after the Yamagandam time.Don’t be tempted to use this time-slot to end some issue as it is dangerous to plan an activity during this time as the end- result could be a failure for you.Following is a table showing Yamagandam:
BTW all the times to be considered are local specified standard time (clock time) of the country or area.So there is no need to go for all the calculators available on the net.
Travel from an area of residence or where one has stayed the night, heading in the Shoolam direction , it is believed,creates a piercing and flowing away of karmic and personal energy in all areas of life and activities.So Shoolam direction is to be avoided as the first outbound journey of the day from one’s home or temporary residence. To counteract Shoolam some people avoid all journeys heading towards the Shoolam direction of the day. (BTW ‘Day’ is calculated from sunrise to next sunrise.Direction means, within 15 degrees of the compass-direction.)Other people have a less drastic solution:If the day’s first journey is a destination within the city in the Shoolam direction, then they first go to a destination at least 3 kilometers in a different direction, stop there and purchase something,spend a few minutes there and then resuming their journey in the Shoolam direction.If the person is going out of town, the preferred option is to leave the place of residence one day earlier and staying overnight a minimum of 3 kilometers away in a direction other than the Shoolam for the day of travel.For example if a person needs to travel North on Wednesday they commence their journey on Tuesday, heading in a different direction and staying in that direction overnight and taking care n0t t0 to travel North,North-West or North-East on Wednesday.
Here is a table showing Shoolam directions:
About Keerthika Singaravel
I’m Planing to take Exam in Dubai on 14th March 2013, 11 am. Is this period Good to take the Exam.
In one of the website it is showing Gulika Kalam in Dubai at this period.
Please Suggest. Its important for me.
The time is not the greatest as some calenders show it as durmuhurat,which lasts for first 48 minutes of the exam period.The calenders I refer to don’t show Gulika at the time of the exam.So if the time of the exam can be changed,try to go for a different time,or start for the exam earlier and remember your preparations have been on for long and that you will reap the fruits now.Also the time is not great for any candidate so a lot of people are on the same footing.Cheer up!What will be- will be and no exam is the end of the world.Its great to do well but no exam will keep you from your destiny.
Very good this is true and pepole shold follow for succes
Yes indeed
Would starting an exercise regimen be good in Gulika period? (reasoning being you want to repeat the activity rather than dropping it)
Thank you.
Yes
Cool! Thanks again
Hi, Just came accross this blog today. I must really appreciate you work ! an awesome info !
I wanted to know if Yamagandakalam (or other kalams too) change according to the sunrise and sunset?
Some shastris said it is fixed all the time and all the year, But i see different timings for the same date in different year on some site on net.
My marriage is fixed on 20-Feb-2013. Three shastris suggested 9:00 to 9:30 a.m. as mangalya dharanam (they say Yamagandam is btw 7:30 to 9:00). but one said Shastri said it is from 8:30 to 9:50 approx.
So could you please help me clarify this question? I would be very great if you could help. Also Can you suggest a good reliable site which give correct panchang (preferably south Indian custom)? Thanks!
The times will vary from place to place as local sunrise and sunset times will change too.The concept is that the day between sunrise and sunset is to be divided into 8 parts.However most people just refer to their calenders and pick a time and add a 30 mins leeway.However since it is a marriage I guess extra effort makes sense.The dissenting shastri seems to be more thorough going by the info here http://tamil.panchangam.org/dailypanchangam.php?date=2013-02-20
Thanks for your response and the info. ! Much appreciated !
Thank u very much for beautiful Information, Plz change that Yama Gandam Period, Prakash
Plz change that yama gandam period, and repost it
good one
Thank You
friday and saturday yamaganda kala to be reversed
Yes
and one more thing.. that house is not our own house.. we just going for rent…
Probably everything will be fine.It’s after all a rented house.What’s the worst that can happen?You may not be able to stay peacefully for long in that accomodation.Would it really matter all that much?Relax everything will be fine.And in any case you started the preparations before Yamakandam started.
Thanx for ur response mam…
Thanx for the info… and i had one doubt.. I had entered into a new house and i did some pooja arrangements before yamakandam…but we did pooja during yamakandam.. is there any wrong in that..? If so, tell me the parikaram or any idea…
Thanks for the tips.
