28 The Vedic Divisions of Time /Kali YUGA

"Richard Shaw Brown" <rsbj66

Verse 8: A conglomerate of 15 laghus is called a nadika (30 minutes).

Two

nadikas equal a muhurta (hour), and six or seven nadikas equal a

prahara

(approximately 3 hours to 3 and a half hours, depending on long or

short

days), which is a fourth of a day by human calculation. {3 hours = 1

prahara or 12 hours = 4 praharas}

Astrologers are supposed to become experts in astronomy and in

astrology. Here there is a posting about the divisions of time and in

particular we should see the mention of the 4 praharas within a day.

 

One important use of these praharas is found every Thursday when the

daytime (from sunrise to sunset) is divided by 4 praharas. The last

prahara of every Thursday is called Jupiter Barbela. During Jupiter

Barbela advice is given of not travelling, doing business or doing

shopping as its spirit spoils the time. It is better to stay indoors,

‘kill time’, or meditate, to avoid unpleasant reactions.

 

It is a bad omen to see or hear someone coming to us during Jupiter

Barbela because that means that the person is likely to bring some

problems in the near future.

 

I suppose that a way to get protected against inauspicious incidents is

to wear a suitable gem or a rudrakhsa.

 

A way to find out abot the times for Jupiter Barbela is by using a

spreadsheet, in which a programme can be written of dividing the time

from sunrise to sunset for your local place, by 4 times. The last

segment of time for every Thursday belongs to Jupiter Barbela.

 

You can observe the omens around you during that time and see the

reactions unfolding later on for you. I never open my email box, send

emails or use the telephone during Jupiter Barbela, and also I try as

well to remain at home until after the sunset of Thursday when the

daylight ends. One of the best things to do during Jupiter Barbela is

just to try to chill out or to meditate.

 

Of course, there are sometimes when one may be obliged to travel or

preach and even work during Jupiter Barbela. In those cases let the

gods be tolerant.

 

Yours truly,

 

Natabara das
