The power of Abhijit Nakshatra: How to pray during the 24 minute golden period

 The story behind Abhijit Nakshatra

In the great epic Mahabharata, there was a very powerful star time called Abhijit Nakshatra. The Kauravas wanted to use this powerful time to win the war. But Lord Krishna knew that if they start the fight during Abhijit Nakshatra, they would surely win. because anything started in the abijeeth nakshatra time will end in victory. So, he hid this Nakshatra in his peacock feather which he kept in head to protect the Pandavas and make sure truth would win.

That is why Abhijit Nakshatra is considered very special, it is called “The Victorious Star” or “The Invincible one.” Some ancient texts even call it the 28th Nakshatra, even though most people follow 27 nakshatras. It is not always visible, but it is full of divine energy and success.

Why Abhijit time is so special

Abhijit Nakshatra is not a full star like others. It is a small portion of time around 24 minutes that falls between two stars:

  • The end of Uthradam (Uttarashada) Nakshatra (last 12 minutes)

  • The beginning of Thiruvonam (Shravana) Nakshatra (first 12 minutes)

These 24 minutes are believed to be the most divine and victorious time of the day.
Whatever good deeds or prayers you do during this time are said to bring success and blessings. this happens once every month, (exactly once in 28 days).

People who could not follow abijeeth natchathiram time, can follow abijeeth muhurt, which happens every day from 11:36 AM to 12:24 PM and it is perfect for starting anything new prayers, business, or any important work.

How to find Abhijit time in your country

1) Check your local Panchangam (Hindu calendar) to see when Uthradam (Uttarashada) ends and Thiruvonam (Shravana) begins.

2) Take the last 12 minutes of Uthradam (Uttarashada) and the first 12 minutes of Thiruvonam (Shravana) that is the 24 minute Abhijit time every 28 days once.

3) If you don’t have a Panchangam for your country, you can simply follow this general time: 11:36 AM to 12:24 PM (local time), called as abijeeth muhurt time.

This is the approximate Abhijit Muhurta used every day in India.

How to pray during Abhijit Nakshatra

Just Light two ghee diyas (lamps) at home or in a temple.

Sit peacefully and pray to your favourite god, Lord Krishna, Lord Shiva, your family deity or any god you believe in.

Chant this line with faith:

“Abhijit Nakshatram" (The most divine 24 minutes to make all your righteous desires come true)

You can also recite this special mantra taught by Sri Venkatarama Swamigal:
“Abijitha aagamanthutheera abjithampara natchanthraanaam
Nathatheeya jotheenaam Nalagangaathara pavatharana
Sivachya Vishnu meytheenaam Pavathavalaamsutha paripaalaya
Saranaagatha paahimaam!”

Spend the 24 minutes in silence, chanting or thinking good thoughts. It’s believed that prayers made during this time will be heard faster.

Why you should use this time

  • Abhijit is ruled by Lord Brahma (Prajapati).

  • It represents victory, strength and success.

“May all your rightful prayers come true.”
OM NAMAH SHIVAYA 🙏
