Did you know that good deeds can be done in a panchak which is considered inauspicious?

The time it takes for the Moon to pass through Aquarius and Pisces each month is called Panchak. Panchak begins with the third phase of Dhanishtha and passes through Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarbhadrapada and ends at the end of Revati Nakshatra. Simply put, Panchak begins when the Moon enters Aquarius and Aries completes Panchak.

It is forbidden in the scriptures to perform five acts while the panchak is running. These include gathering grass, wood, or fuel, traveling south, roofing the house, making a bed, or making a bed, and cremating a corpse. This is because according to astrology the deeds done during Panchak are done five times.

However, in astrology, the Panchak period is considered unacceptable for the purpose of auspicious and auspicious deeds. But it is also believed that if auspicious work is done in Panchak, it has the potential to increase five times. During the Panchak, only certain special activities mentioned above are prohibited. The auspicious moment of marriage, which is popular among the common people, falls only in Vasant Panchami Panchak. Marriage, Upanayan, Mundan, Home Entry etc. can be done during the Panchak period with the advice of an astrologer. Religious activities like Pooja-Path, Hom-Havan, Dev Pujan, Dev Visarjan etc. can take place. Commercial or economikc activities may occur. Panchak is not obligatory in fasting, festival, Rakshabandhan, Bhaibeej etc.
