Shastra's reading

Keep new beginnings small on this day.

Bhadra Karanam runs till 9.28 am; Shoola Yogam runs till 5.30 pm; Ganda Yogam runs till 3.01 pm Thursday. No part of the day is clear of every caution. If something cannot wait, prefer the printed Nalla Neram and ask your family's jyotishi.

This is Aadi, when many families do not hold weddings or griha pravesam. Daily archanai and worship need no muhurtham. For anything important, your family's jyotishi comes first.
