Maharishi Speaks on Auspicious Days

In this video, Maharishi describes the significance of auspicious days in the Vedic Calendar, and how Personal Yagya performances can enhance their positive qualities. Watch video

Fulfilling Specific Desires Maharishi Yagya performances on these days will bestow the qualities associated with each auspicious day—such as peace, prosperity, health, and protection.

The Calendar of Auspicious Days is based primarily on the daily movements of the Sun through the various Signs of the Zodiac or 12 Rashis, along with movements of the Moon through the Lunar Constellations or 27 Nakshatras.

The Earth takes one year to circle the Sun, and this is considered to be one full cycle of the Vedic Calendar. During that cycle, the Moon moves around the Earth about twelve times. Other recurring cycles of Nature include the phases of the Moon and the changing seasons.

Each of these cycles is given a quality and direction from the universal Laws of Nature, the same evolutionary force that upholds the entire galactic universe. Jyotish provides us with the knowledge of the changing values of Natural Law that impart these specific qualities to the various days, as the Planets and stars move through time and space in relation to each other.

There are times when Nature’s intelligence is more awake and alert to support specific desires and needs, and to support the fulfillment of your material and spiritual goals. A Maharishi Jyotish Consultation can help determine which Specific Purpose Yagyas performed on these days will have the greatest influence to help you fulfill a specific desire.

Living in Harmony with Natural Law

In the days of the Vedic Civilization, where life was lived in harmony with Nature’s Intelligence, Specific Purpose Yagyas were performed on auspicious days to enliven positive qualities in the individual, the society, and the environment.

You can help re-enliven this tradition and take advantage of these most favorable times by requesting your own Maharishi Yagya performances on auspicious days in the Vedic Calendar.

What Makes An Auspicious Day?

“It’s not a matter of faith. It’s a physical effect of all that we have surrounding us—this Sun, this Moon, this Planet, this month, that month—it’s all predictable with reference to one’s own time of birth and place of birth. So the individual is not an accident. From the birth time, and in what family the child is born, the Jyotish Pandits can predict all the events of life. It’s not a gossip, it’s mathematics. It’s actuality.”—Maharishi

Monthly Lists of Auspicious Days

On these days a specific quality of Natural Law is awake and enlivened, and Maharishi Yagya performances for the purposes described below will be most powerful. Apply for a Maharishi Jyotish consultation at least one month before the date of the Yagya performance you wish to sponsor. (Click on the red arrows to see more information.)

NOTE: The following dates are based on the time zone of India. Dates for global celebrations may be different in other time zones. When you sponsor a Maharishi Yagya performance Maharishi Jyotish Pandits provide guidance for the most auspicious date and time (Muhurta) for it to begin based on an analysis of your Comprehensive Birth Chart.
