Marriage Muhurta

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

 

I had posted a query last month on Sri Jagannath group about Marriage

Muhurta but did not get some clarifications, so I am reposting it

again on this group. The basic query was about finding a marriage

muhurta when the only option is of selecting the appropriate lagna in

a single day (in this case December 14, 2006, Delhi). Hopefully will

get a better response this time. Thank you.

Hello Everyone,

 

I have some more doubts about the wedding time that need clarifications:

1)Narasimha Rao in his book states that the wedding time for Hindus is

when the husband " ties the knot " . Since he was referring to the

Mangalsutra as a symbol of marriage in the previous sentence, I am

assuming that it means " tieing the mangalsutra " . Srivastavji in his

e-mail mentioned that taking the seven steps, " saptpadi " would

indicate marriage. So what is the time of marriage?

 

2)K.K.Joshi in his book mentions that for love marriage, no muhurta is

necessary and that the only consideration that is important is

" Tripadi chakra shuddhi " i.e. for certain nakshatras from the sun are

considered auspicious for marriage? Is this true? If yes, then is the

reference to Nakshtra's means the nakshtra of moon or nakshtra of

lagna at the time of marriage?

 

3)In a lot of countries, one has to register with the government, even

if they have been married in a religious marriage. This registration

can happen before or after the religious marriage. In such cases do

you consider the marriage time for both or only for the first marriage

,whether it is civil or religious?

 

I would greatly appreciate any insight into these questions.

 

Thanks.
