*********************************************************************

1. Rahu Kaalam is linked to the 8th Graham among Nava Graham .

This is typically an asubha graham , who is also a trunkless

person ( Head cut off during the distribution of nectar ).

Auspicious events are not started during the Raahu Kaalam ,

a time set aside for Raahu . It is 90 minutes , which varies from

day to day . Sun Rise time is used to compute those 90 minutes

for the 7 week days linked to the 7 subha grahams among

nava grahams. For instance , Raahu Kaalam is between 7.30 AM to 9 AM

on MOnday . It is 4.30 PM to 6 PM on Sunday devoted to Sooryan ,

the First of the Nava Grahams .

 

2. Yama Kantam : There are 90 minutes ( One and half hours ) devoted to

this and the connection here is to Kethu , the 9th of the Nava graham

with inauspicous connotions again like Raahu . Yama Kantam on Monday

is between 10.30 to 12.00 Noon . On Sunday , it is between 12.00 Noon to

1.30 PM .

 

3. GuLikan is devoted to Bhagavathi , whose worship is prominent in KeraLa.

There are day GuLikans and Night GuLikans . It is also a time period of

90 minutes , which vary from day to day . For Monday , the Pahal(Day)

GuLikan is between 1.30 to 3.00 PM and the night GuLikan is between

7.30 PM to 9 PM .Various Theyyam uthsavams at KeraLa Bhagavathy temples

are elaborate affairs with colorful masks of Bhagavathy , a goddess of

many moods .

 

I request other devotees to add othe rinformation related to these

questions.

 

Hope this helps ,

Dear vaishnava bhakthas,

I think Gulikan is the other name for Maanthi and

Maanthi is the son of Saturn. And his presence in the

janma lagna bades ill oman for the person, so says the

Kutumba Jothidam book of Lifco. In fact in almost all

houses in a jathagam, it appears Gulikan doe not do

good.

I attest to this fact, because I know as individual

who suffered serious physical damage as a little child

and in his horoscope maanthi is found in the janma

lagna.

My doubt is this. Should Gulikan period indicated in

the panchangam should be avoided for doing good work.

Can any one clarify.

Adiyen,

Srivilliputtur Govindakrishnan algar.

srI:

srimate gopaladesika mahadesikaya namaha

Any new work or karyam will not be performed when kuligan is in force.

Starting new karyam in Kuligai can lead to repetition of the same.

Vaidhikas will avoid starting anything new in Guligai kalam. Recently

our vadhyar mentioned this to us.
