muhurt ka mahatva kyon, aur kaise basant kumar soni karya ke sukhant ke lie aur marg men ane vali badhaon ke parihar ke lie shubh muhurt ka chayan kiya jata hai jismen din, tithi, nakshatra, karan adi ke shubhashubh ki jankari ka mahatvapurn yogdan rahta hai. aie, jante hain muhurt ke in sabhi ghatak tatvon ki shubh aur ashubhta ka svarup kya hai aur usse karya ko kya disha aur dasha prapt hoti hai. lok paranpranusar kisi bhi shubh karya ko aranbh karne ke liye shubh samay ka chayan karna hi muhurt chayan kahlata hai. karya ki siddhi sunishchit karne ke lie shubh muhurt men apne karya ko aranbh karne ka arman sabhi ke dilon men rahta hai. muhurt dekhne ki pratha hajaron varshon se chali a rahi hai.
ek hindu sanatan dharmi hi nahin apitu anya dharmon ke anuyayi bhi apni dharmik manyataon ke adhar par karyaranbh ke purva shubh samay ka vichar karna jaruri samjhte hain taki unka karya bina kisi vighna-badha ke saflta ke sath purn ho jae. prayah aisa dekhne men ata hai ki jab koi karya bigar jata hai, nirarthak sabit ho jata hai ya labh ke bajay haniprad siddh hota hai tab vyakti sochne lagta hai ki hamne kis manhus ghari men karya shuru kiya tha jiska dukhant hua sukhant ke badle men. kahne ka tatparya yah hai ki karya-nash hone ke uprant aise logon ko muhurt ki mahatta samajh men ane lagti hai aur unhen shubh muhurt men karyaranbh n karne ki galti ka ehsas hone lagta hai.

''bav'' karan men prasthan karna, gram-nagar adi men pravesh karna shubh hota hai. ''balv'' karan men vipra jati ke yagya vivahadi, churakarm, yagyaopvit jaise karya shubh hote hain. shesh tin varnon ke liye yah karan nishiddh rahta hai.

vishti ke madhyakal men karyaranbh kiya jayega to jivan ki hani hogi yani yajman ko yamraj ka bulava a sakta hai. kintu vishti ke ant men jo bhi shubh karya aranbh kiya jayega usmen avashyamev siddhi aur vijay milegi. vishti ki antim tin ghari shubh hoti hain.

''chatushpada'' namak karan yadi amavasya ko din ke samay ho to tantrashastravetta tantrik vidhi se apne shatrunash ke liye ise upyogi mante hain, aisa ullekh milta hai.
chatushpad namak karan men chatushpadon (chaupayon ya pashuon) se sanbandhit har prakar ke karya karna hitkari hota hai. yadi shraddh yani tarpanadi jaldan ke sabhi karya is karan men kiye jayen to jyada punya milta hai. ''nag'' karan ke devta sarp hote hain. garuri vidya janne valon ke liye yah karan saflibhut ho sakta hai. lekin jan sadharan ke liye yah ashubh hi hai. ismen koi bhi shubh karya talna chahiye. ''kaustubha''karan ko kinstughn nam se pukarte hain. iski mahatta vaishvadev namak shubh yogo se bahut barh jati hai. shukla paksh ki pahli tithi pratipda ko jab din ke samay kaustubh yani kinstughn karan ho tab yah yog banta hai jo sabhi prakar ke shubh karyon ko karne ke liye sarvottam mana jata hai.
dushkar se bhi dushkar karya is karn/shubh yog men shighra safal hote hain. var : adityah somo bhaumashch tatha budh brihaspatiah. bhargavah shanaishcharashchaiv ete saptadinadhipah॥ surya, chandra, bhaum, budh, buhaspati, shukra aur shani ye kramshah ravivar adi dinon ke svami hain. muhurt ke adhar par saptavaron men kaun-kaun se vishisht shubh karya karna chahie jo labhdayak evam siddhidayak hon. sankshipt rup men unka vivaran nimnalikhit hai. ravivar : dinon ka raja surya hai. yadi praja apne raja ke darshan ki ichchuk ho to use apne rakshaka/ palak priyaraja ke darshan ravivar ko karna chahie. havnadi se sanbandhit karya ravivar ko karna shubh hota hai.

yatra muhurt men tithiyon ka vichar prathma tithi ko pratipda, ekam athva pariva ya parva ke nam se bhi pukarte hai. ismen buddhiman/dhairyavan manushyon ko kisi bhi rup men kabhi bhi yatra nahin karni chahiye. dvitiya tithi yani doj ke din yatra karna shubh hota hai. karya ka safal hona janen. tritiya (tij) tithi men yatra karna kalyankarak hota hai. nirogta ka labh hota hai. chaturthi ki yatra mrityubhykarak hoti hai - ''chaturthi marnadbhayam''॥ panchmi ke din yatra karna sarvaprakaren siddhiprad hota hai, vijay prapti hoti hai. shashthi tithi ke din yani chath ke din ki yatra haniprad hoti hai. ''shashthitvan n labhay'' saptami ke din yatra karna yani shubh ki bidai aur ashubh ko nyauta dene ke saman hai. apvad svarup dharmik yatra ki ja sakti hai. ashtami ke din yatra karne vala svayan rogagrast ho sakta hai, ''yatra rogotpadk''.
navmi ke din yatra karne vale ka man lautakar ane ka nahin hota, ''yatra men adanga'' par jata hai. dashmi ki yatra raja ko bhumi ka labh karati hai, anyon ko bhumi labh sadrish sukh ki prapti hoti hai. ekadshi ki yatra sadaiv shubh hoti hai.

samanya rup se jan sadharan ke liye chaturdashi ke din yatra karna purnarupen varjit rahta hai jiska karan is lekh ki antim kandika ko parhne se spasht ho jayega. muhurta-vishayak uprokt vivaran krishn paksh aur shukla paksh arthat donon pakshon ki pratipda tithi se chaturdashi tithi tak ke liye saman rup se lagu hota hai. amavasya tithi ke din bhi yatra karna varjit hai- ''amavasyan n yatra kuryat''. purnima tithi ko din men kabhi bhi, kisi bhi karya se athva kisi bhi uddeshya se yatra nahin karni chahiye kyonki purnamasi ko din men yatra karna karya ki asiddhi ka dyotak hai. shashvatta, shitlta, shanti aur shubhgta pradan karne vali purnamasi ki ratrikalin yatra ko shirodharya karna chahiye. pratidin yatra karne valon ko muhurt dekhne ki avashyakta nahin.
jyotish vigyan ne shashthi, ashtami, navmi aur chaturthi tithiyon ko pratyek paksh ke chidra mana hai, aur chaturdashi to shubh yog/ nakshatra adi se paripurn ya yukt hone par bhi sarvatha nishiddh hoti hai. is karan se inmen sarva shubh-karya, yatradi varjit hain. kaha bhi gaya hai- shadashtau nav chatvari paksh chidrani varjayet. sapi nakshatrasampannan varjayettu chaturdashim॥
