Nitya Yoga (panchanga)

Nitya means daily.  These are daily yogas formed by the angular relationship between the Sun & Moon. Since the Moon travels on average 13°20’ a day, these Yogas are based on that angle of separation between the Sun and Moon. These take a bit longer than a Nakshatra where only the Moon’s movement is considered. With the Nitya Yogas the Sun is moving as well, and the Moon has to travel 13°20’ away from the Sun for each Nitya Yoga. There are 27 of these as well. Some are favorable and some are not. For the inauspicious Nitya Yogas there are specific portions of them to avoid. You can use them after that time period is over if their indications are relevant to what you are electing to do.  The time period is stated in Ghatis. A ghati is 24 minutes. There are 60 ghatis in one day.

The most auspicious Nitya Yogas are: 21-Siddha, 25-Brahma, and 26-Indra.

The favorable Nitya Yogas are: 3-Ayushman, 4-Saubhagya, 5-Sobhana, 7-Sukarma, 11 Vriddhi, 12-Dhruva, 14-Harshana, 16-Siddhi, 20-Shiva, 22-Sadhya, 23-Shubha, and 24-Shukla.

The less favorable Nitya Yogas are: 2-Priti, 8-Dhriti, and 18-Variyana.

The inauspicious Nitya Yogas are: 1-Vishkumbha, 6-Atiganda, 9-Shula, 10-Ganda, 13-Vyaghata, 15-Vajra, 17-Vyatipata, 19-Parigha, and 27-Vaidhriti. Of these numbers 17 & 27 should be avoided the entire time.

One Response to Nitya Yoga (panchanga)

  1. Mohan V says:

    Every nithya yoga has a lord, for eg Saubhagyam, Vyaghatham and Sadhyam, their lord is Venus.
    can you state the lords of the different nithya yogas?
    Similarly in a day the yoga changes at fixed intervals.
    can you please provide me with the details for each day
