Eliminating five types of bad energies (Panchaka rahitha):
In general Muhurthas where the person wants to join a job or attending an interview
or going on a short journey, setting good ‘Taara bala’ and ‘Chanra bala’ is
sufficient. But for important ceremonies like thread ceremony, marriage, nuptials,
entry into a new house, etc, we should eliminate bad energies from the Muhurtha
which is called ‘Panchaka rahita’. Count the number of lunar day (thithi), the
number of the week day (1st is Sunday), the number of the constellation (1st is
Aswini) and the number of the Ascendant (1st is Aries) of the Muhurtha. Add them
together and divide the total by 9. See what the remainder represents:
1   –   Mrityu Panchka – danger to life.
2   –   Agni Panchaka – risk from fire.
4   –   Raja Panchaka – risk from Government.
6   –   Chora Panchaka – threat from thieves.
8   –   Roga Panchaka – diseases.
So, the above numbers should be eliminated. If the remainder is 0, 3, 5 or 7 then
it is good. For example, if a person wants to start a new business on a day and
time when the lunar day is 13th (Triyodasi), the constellation is Pubba, the rising
sign is Leo, and the weekday is Monday. Calculating Panchaka, we get:
Number     of   lunar day: 13
Number     of   constellation: 11
Number     of   week day: 2
Number     of   Ascendant: 5
Total:     31
Now dividing this number 31 by 9, we get 4 as remainder. This number 4 represents
Raja Panchakam and hence the person will face a lot of troubles from the
Government, Police, Taxes and Legal departments. Hence that Muhurtha is not
auspicious for the person.
