Brahma, Abhijit, Vijaya, Godhuli and Nishita — the day's five most auspicious windows for beginning a new endeavour.

Sandhya & Amrit Kaal

Morning & evening sandhya windows — and the nakshatra-driven amrit windows of the day.

Varjyam periods

Nakshatra-driven forbidden windows — avoid beginning auspicious work during these intervals.
Varjyam is the inverse of amrit kaal — auspicious work begun in amrit prospers; in varjyam it should be deferred.

Abhijit Muhurat

The window around solar midday — the day's most auspicious moment. Excellent for beginning journeys, new ventures, and pacts. Only on Wednesdays is it considered forbidden.

Brahma Muhurat

Roughly 96 minutes before sunrise — the period most suited to meditation, yoga, study and Vedic recitation. A sattvic time of clarity for body and mind.

Godhuli Vela

The brief twilight at sunset — highly auspicious for marriage, griha-pravesh, satsang and sandhya-vandana. Classical tradition regards this transitional moment as nectar-like.
