? What is Panchang?
Panchang is the Vedic Hindu calendar used to determine auspicious and inauspicious timings for various activities. It consists of five key elements:
- Tithi (Lunar Day)
- Nakshatra (Star Constellation)
- Yoga (Planetary Combination)
- Karana (Half of a Tithi)
- Vara (Day of the Week)
Tithi (तिथि) – The Lunar Day
Meaning & Importance:
Tithi represents the angular distance between the Sun and the Moon. It plays a vital role in determining festivals, fasts, and auspicious timings.
Types of Tithis & Their Impact:
| Tithi Type | Phase | Effects on Life |
|---|---|---|
| Pratipada (1st) | Waxing/Waning | Good for beginnings, new ventures |
| Panchami (5th) | Waxing/Waning | Good for spiritual practices, mantras |
| Dashami (10th) | Waxing/Waning | Favorable for wealth & prosperity |
| Amavasya (New Moon) | Waning | Good for spiritual retreat, not for new beginnings |
| Purnima (Full Moon) | Waxing | Enhances clarity, intuition, and success |
Example: Marriage ceremonies are avoided on Amavasya, as it is considered inauspicious.
Nakshatra (नक्षत्र) – Star Constellation
Meaning & Importance:
The Moon transits through 27 Nakshatras, each influencing a person’s thoughts, emotions, and destiny.
Some Nakshatras & Their Effects:
| Nakshatra | Ruling Planet | Effect on Career & Life |
|---|---|---|
| Rohini | Moon | Brings wealth & beauty |
| Magha | Ketu | Ancestral blessings, leadership qualities |
| Vishakha | Jupiter | Good for business & politics |
| Moola | Ketu | Sudden changes, deep spiritual growth |
Example: A baby’s naming ceremony is often planned based on a favorable Nakshatra.
Yoga (योग) – Planetary Combinations
Meaning & Importance:
Yoga is formed by the sum of the Sun & Moon’s degrees. It influences an individual’s luck, intelligence, and physical health.
Beneficial & Malefic Yogas:
| Yoga Type | Nature | Effect on Life |
|---|---|---|
| Siddhi Yoga | Auspicious | Enhances success in business & spirituality |
| Vyatipata Yoga | Inauspicious | Creates challenges, instability |
| Ravi Yoga | Auspicious | Best for leadership & government work |
| Vishkumbha Yoga | Inauspicious | Brings delays & obstacles |
Example: Important tasks like starting a business are avoided during inauspicious Yogas.
Karana (करण) – Half of a Tithi
Meaning & Importance:
Each Tithi is divided into two Karanas. They determine human efforts, determination, and achievements.
Types of Karanas:
| Karana | Effect on Life |
|---|---|
| Bava | Success in financial matters |
| Balava | Good for spiritual practices |
| Kaulava | Favorable for relationships & diplomacy |
| Vishti (Bhadra) | Avoid for new ventures |
Example: Travel is avoided during Vishti Karana, as it may bring obstacles.
Vara (वार) – The Day of the Week
Meaning & Importance:
Each day is ruled by a planet and affects career, finances, and relationships.
| Day | Ruling Planet | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Moon | Healing, emotional balance |
| Tuesday | Mars | Strength, courage, but avoid legal matters |
| Wednesday | Mercury | Business, negotiations |
| Thursday | Jupiter | Education, spiritual growth |
| Friday | Venus | Marriage, arts, luxury |
| Saturday | Saturn | Discipline, real estate |
