What is Panchak?

Panchak is a constellation made up of five Nakshatras (star constellations).   According to Indian astrology, the Panchak period begins when the Moon is in the last five constellations out of the twenty-seven, namely Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada, and Revati. In other words, when the Moon is in the signs of Pisces and Aquarius for a period of time, it is known as Panchak.

Is it unlucky to start a new job on Panchak?

This, however, is not the case. Many astrologers do not believe that these constellations are completely unlucky. Due to the fact that only a few astrologers have labeled certain constellations as foreboding, some particular works are not carried out at this time. It is also incorrect to suggest that people should refrain from working during this time. The majority of the duties are completed in this time frame.

Dhanishtha and Shatbhishare are the only two moveable constellations among these five. As a result, travel and tourism, entertainment, marketing, and the purchase of clothing and jewelry are all considered lucky.

Purvabhadrapada is associated with rage, hence court and debate concerns should be handled during this time. However, Uttarabhadrapada represents eternity, and it is here that Shilanyaas, Yogabhyaasand, and long-term planning begin.

The constellation Revati is associated with tranquility and softness. Songs, music, acting, fashion presentations, and the production of television serials can all be done in this constellation. As a result, it has been established that all sorts of employment are permissible during this time. After visiting an astrologer, you can complete marriages, Mundan-Sanskaar, Griha Pravesh, Griha Nirmaan, Upanayana, as well as business and economic operations during this time.

Is it forbidden to perform Pooja or engage in other religious activities during Panchak?

It is a popular misconception that havan-pujan and Devi Visarjan must be avoided during Panchak, but this is incorrect. Panchak is not regarded when performing auspicious actions, particularly Dev-Pujan. As a result, Pooja can be performed concurrently with Panchak. The ban of pious or religious tasks during Panchak is not mentioned in our texts. However, some tasks are forbidden during this period, according to our sages’ guidance.

What activities should be avoided during Panchak?

  • During Panchak, the following five tasks are primarily prohibited:

  • Grass, timber, and oil should not be collected during the constellation of Ghanistha. It could lead to a fire.

  • Traveling south should be avoided because it is considered Yam’s direction. It is considered ominous to travel in this direction.

  • During the Revati constellation, terrace construction is prohibited.

  • During Panchak, the construction of Chaarpayi is prohibited.
  • Cremation is forbidden during Panchak because it is said that if a dead body is burnt in Panchak, five people from that town will die.

  • Before cremating a dead body during Panchak, it is recommended to do Shanthikarma.

What are the remedies to be used if a certain task during Panchak cannot be avoided?

We are living in global times. As a result, abstaining from certain works may be impossible. However, after a thorough examination, the sages have stated the ban of some practices. If the five chores listed above must be completed during Panchak, these remedies must be completed first, and only then should those tasks be initiated.

  • If you need to acquire wooden objects, go ahead and do so, but don’t forget to perform the Goddess Gayatri Havan thereafter. It aids in the avoidance of perilous circumstances.

  • If it is required to go to the south during Panchak, present Lord Hanuman a fruit. Then you can begin your journey.

  • Before the construction of the terrace during Panchak, give sweet meat to the workmen.

  • During Panchak, you can purchase a bed. But keep in mind that you should only utilise them after the Panchak period has ended.

  • Cremation is a crucial procedure. If a body must be cremated during Panchak, then manufacture five dummy dead bodies and burn them as well.

Following the procedures for performing these cures would undoubtedly assist you in overcoming any Panchak adverse effects.
