Be it marriage, inaugurating an office or purchasing a new car, our parents have always considered checking for an auspicious muhurat while engaging in such life events. While you must be checking the Shubh Muhurat today to achieve the above mentioned events, you should also note the timings one should not consider while engaging in auspicious activities.
As per astrology, Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and Gulika Kaal are the 'not-so-auspicious hours' of the day for performing auspicious events. One should mark these and ensure not to perform activities that can change your life or impact it in any way. Moreover, Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and the Gulika Kaal timings are specific to the days of the week, such as, on Mondays, one shall consider the Monday Rahukalam, Tuesday Rahukalam on Tuesdays and so on. Hence, the Friday Rahukalam timings might not be the same as the Monday Rahukalam timings.
As mentioned in the above table, the timings are given for Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika Kalam. While many of you must be aware of these hours of the day, most might also like to have some insights about them. So, let us look at each of these for a better understanding.
Before we study the Monday Rahukalam, let us know what Rahukalam is. In astrology, all the related seven planets, namely the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, are associated with a particular day of the week. Nevertheless, this is not the case with the nodal planets Ketu and Rahu, as no specific day is allocated to them. However, they hold the power to rule every day for one and a half hours, termed as Rahu Kalam & Yamagandam.
Considering Monday, Rahu is in full power during Monday Rahu kaal timings and can create disappointments and hardships unless it has a benefic planet in the horoscope. Individuals should avoid the period of Monday Rahukalam timings, as mentioned in the table, for partaking in any auspicious activities and events, as conducting holy events and starting new ventures is not considered safe at this time.
As the name says, this period of the day is related to the son of the planet Sun, Yama or Yamraj. We know well that Yamraj is the one responsible for taking the Soul or Atma of the dead person to a deserving place. Hence, the rituals or ceremonies related to death are conducted only during the Yamagandam on Monday. Individuals should make sure they do not hold any money-related transactions or engage in travel during this time.
Talking of the Monday Gulika kaal, it occurs for one and a half hours depending upon the timings of Sunrise. This period of the Gulika Kaal is known as the hour of the Gulikan, i.e, the son of Shani (Saturn). The Monday Gulika Kaal should be avoided for conducting auspicious events and activities as it is governed by Saturn, which is generally not that favorable. It is also said that anything performed during the period of Gulika Kalam gets repeated, hence, it is mandatory to avoid any death-related rituals on Monday Gulika Kaal.
The first day of the week, Monday, is associated with the planet Moon, or say, Chandra Deva. Hence, before we organize or plan an auspicious event or new venture, it is important to check the Gulika Kaal, Rahu Kalam, and Yamagandam on Monday. Conducting any activity during this time can be unfavorable, harmful, and even lead to losses. Therefore, individuals looking for success and favorable outcomes should refrain from performing anything new at this time.
To know the exact details of the Monday Rahukalam timings, as per the Sunrise on the particular date, individuals can check it by referring to the Choghadia or Panchang. Remember, Shubh, Labh, Amrit, and Char are considered to be the auspicious timings, while Kaal, Udveg, and Rog are deemed the inauspicious part of the day.
There might be times when situations arise to conduct any particular activity at a specific time, which might clash with the Monday Rahu kaal timings or the time of Yamagandam or Gulika Kalam. In such cases, you can pray to your Kuldevta and go ahead with carrying out the activity.
For the individuals who are not aware of the Kuldev can chant Ganesh Mantras or Hanuman Chalisa, as these deities have unique powers known as siddhis that can help to crush the unfavorable impacts of Rahu, Gulika or Yama. Moreover, as reciting these mantras can present courage to individuals, they can overpower any obstacles easily.
Yamagandam is the period of the day when Kethu rules for one and half hours during various times of the day through the week. The ruling time period of Kethu or Yamagandam timings changes every day, based on the week day. The Yamagandam time is also dependent on the time of sunrise and sunset.
You might have noticed that all planets other than Rahu and Kethu rule on the allotted one day of the week. Only Rahu and Ketu do not have a day for themselves. Instead, they rule every day, but for one and half hours everyday. Yamagandam timings occur today and everyday, between sunrise and sunset and change based on the Sunrise and Sunset time.
Yamagandam time changes for every day. So Sunday Yamagandam Time is different from Monday Yamagandam time. Similarly, Wednesday Yamagandam time is different from Thursday yamaandam time. The time starts like 6-730am
