TARABALAM Tarabalam depends on ones birth star. Taking birth star as one count till Muhurta star Divide the number by 9 and the Remainder is called Tarabalam. It has names with corresponding planetary lords and the animal it represents . It will give the result indicated. Thus 3 5 and 7 stars are to be avoided for any good work. 18

TARABALAM-Contd 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.

Janma : Sun : Peacock : Manahstapam = worry Sampat : Budha : Horse : Gain of wealth Vipat : Rahu : Goat : Disputes Kshema : Guru :Elephant : Gains in Business etc Pratyak : Ketu : Crow : Karya Hani = Harming the work Sadhana : Moon : Fox : Happiness Naidhana : Sani : Lion : Monetary Loss Mitra : Venus : Garuda = Eagle = Very Good happiness Parama Mitra Tara : Kuja: Hamsa : Spoiling effort 19

TARABALAM-Contd As for some classics while these are rigorously held for first cycle, in second ( 10 to 18 ) and third cycle (19 to 27) of stars some carry lesser evil. Also as for the dictum of Vasishtha for the marriage of Lord Rama – it is said that “ Vivaho Pratyak tara shreshthah” For marriage Pratyak tara is good. As for some the following ghatikas at the beginning of the star are most harmful and after these ghatikas one may select the muhurta after proper dana ( donation). 20

TARABALAM-Contd Still as for some the following padas are to be omitted and may select the muhurta 1 Janma = 7 Gahtikas and Omit 3 rd pada 3 Vipat Tara = 3 Gahtikas and Omit 1 st pada 5.Pratyak tara = 8 Gahtikas and Omit 4 th pada and 7 naidhana tara = 8 Gahtikas and Omit 2 nd pada Still as for some Janma tara of first cycle ( 1 to 9 stars) Vipat tara of 2nd cycle ( 10 to 18) and naidhana tara of third cycle ( 19 to 27) are to be omitted. 21

GOOD and BAD MUHURTAS BASED ON YEAR 1.Chaandra Maana or Lunar Year : Consists of 12 maasaa starting with Chaitra maasa. 2.Saaurya Maana or Solar Year: It consists of 12 months from Mesham to Meenam. 3.Saavan Maana: This year consists of 12 months of 3 days each and has 360 days. 4. Nakshatra Manaana: Each month consists of movement of moon in the Nakshatras from Aswani to Revati with about 324 days. 5. Baahraspatya Maana: Ths is based on movement of Guru or Jupiter in different signs and is about 361 days duration. Popular Gregorian Calendar generally followed with leap year etc. 29

GOOD & BAD MUHURTAS-2 In the years based on Baahraspatya Maana (Jupiters position in a rasi) is linked with performing rites to ancestors at the banks of a particular river (also called kumbha meela) – hence it is a common custom in some parts of India not to perform very important functions like marriage for those living on the banks of that particular river during that Baahraspatya Maana year and devote the year for pitru kaarya. It is important to note that astrology offers a solution to such situations – where it is important to perform the marriage – by suggesting that the above rule can be overcome by performing the marriage at pilgrimage centers like Tirupati.

30

BASED ON SEASONS In old times when the transportation was based on slow methods like walking or bullock carts – it was thought that daily rituals should not be disturbed by seasons. Hence especially for pilgrims or for people who were in religious order – a vratam called caatur maasya vratam is prescribed. It is suggested that for the type of people mentioned above should be at one place and should not travel during these four months. As these fall in rainy season – possibly the origin of this vratam is more of travel convenience than based on rigorous astrological rules. 31

BASED ON MONTHS

The months are mainly two types – solar based or lunar based – in both types certain months are prohibited for selecting a muhurta for a good activity. These are popularly called Suunya maasa. They are Aani of Tamil (Mithuna maasa) and aashaadha maasa in lunar system. This is more of regional practice Also Mhudhya – Helical setting months are omitted 32

Based On Panchanga Elements Tithi For starting important activities the following these are considered to be bad : 12th, 4th, 8th, 9th , 1, 14, 6th and the15th. Vaara Tuesday – mangaLa vaara is to be avoided for good works Stars Tyajyam or Varjhyam of 4 Ghatikas or 96 Minutes YOGAS
