People consider auspicious Mahurats before doing any work so that it gives positive results. Astrology says that good Muhurat enhances the chances of success of any activity undertaken. But sometimes people have to take up a task on urgent basis and do not have the time to find an auspicious Muhurat. In such a circumstance people face problems if a proper Muhurat is not available.

According to Vedic astrology there is a special muhurat called Abhijit Muhurat. This Muhurat is auspicious for any work. Abhijit Muhurat is not special to any particular condition but it is present every day.

The duration of the Abhijit Muhurat lingers up to 48 minutes. 24 minutes before and after the sidereal time is called the Abhijit Muhurat. Basically it stays up to 48 minutes but the duration may reduce if the day is shorter. As the Abhijit Muhurat is auspicious people opt for this Muhurat to perform their work. Abhijit Muhurat safeguards a work even if the day is inauspicious.

It should not be confused with the Abhijit Nakshatra which is the twenty eighth Nakshatra amongst the total Nakshatras. Abhijit Muhurta is capable of removing all Doshas. It is considered an auspicious time to do any kind of work. Abhijit Muhurat can be selected for any kind of activity without going for separate Muhurat for other activities

It is the most fortunate time of the day. It is the eighth Muhurta of the day out of fifteen from sunrise to sunset. It is exactly at the midpoint of a day. Astrologers say that if in any condition an auspicious work does not have a good Muhurat then natives can perform their works on the auspicious Abhijit Muhurat.

Sikh Guru’s knew astrology very well. They understood the positives and negatives of finding a Muhurta and doing work according to it.This is the reason they selected Abhijit Muhurta to commence any auspicious task. Abhijit Muhurta starts daily around 12 noon. Sikhs get married in an Abhijit Muhurta called Anand Karaj. They take rounds of Sri Guru Granth Sahib.

Corresponding period during night time which is considered auspicious is the Brahma Muhurta. Most of the auspicious tasks can be initiated during this time. Lord Shiva beheaded demon Tripurasura during Abhijit Muhurta. According to Hindu mythology, Abhijit Muhurta has the blessings of Lord Vishnu who with the help of Sudarshan Chakra removed many Doshas during the Abhijit Muhurta. Lord Rama, the seventh Avatar of Lord Vishnu took birth in Abhijit Muhurta.However Abhijit Muhurta is not considered good on wednesdays.Travel to south is also not advisable on wednesday.

Importance of Abhijit/ Brahma Muhurta was also considered by our leaders at the time of getting independence from the colonial British Raj. Our Late prime minister Pt. Jawahar Lal Nehru and Dr. Rajendra Prasad, our first president felt the need to capitalise on the power of Abhijit Muhurta to take back the reins from the Britishers.

They consulted various eminent astrologers of the country and were guided by them to declare India independent at midnight on August 15, 1947 at the time of Abhijit Muhurta. The Lagna was also fixed which ensured the stability of the country. Another reason that was also considered was that the Moon would be moving to Pushya Nakshatra which is king of Nakshatras.

On the other hand Pakistan took independence one day in advance when there was a moveable sign and Moon was in Gemini forming a Khala Yoga.The result is that Pakistan has already broken as a nation when Bangladesh was created. Such big events should always be done under astrological consultations to avoid problems.

Today people are very busy. They have limited time to spend with their relatives. All the relatives may not be available on all dates. Not having a good Muhurat for an important occasion can really cause problems. In this scenario Abhijit Muhurat which occurs daily comes to the rescue.

That’s why people consider astrological principles to avoid the negative influences in their life. Abhijit Muhurat is a flexible astrological principle which relieves people when for some reason they cannot look up auspicious Muhurat.
