According to Vedic astrology and calendar, today is the Chaturthi date of Shukla Paksha of Saavan month, which is being celebrated with devotion as the great festival of ‘Durva Vinayak Chaturthi’ (Varad Chaturthi). Today has become extremely auspicious and rarely fruitful from the spiritual and astrological point of view because today on Sunday, due to the transmission of ‘Hasta Nakshatra’, the great combination of ‘Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga’ and ‘Amrit Siddhi Yoga’ will exist throughout the day and night. This day is considered best to receive the combined blessings of Lord Shri Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, and Lord Surya Narayan, the visible deity.
However, there will be influence of Bhadra due to ‘Vishti Karan’ in the first half of the day, hence it would be better to perform auspicious and religious rituals only during auspicious times. Let us know the authentic details of today’s date, constellation, planetary position, Choghadiya, Rahukaal and complete auspicious times of worship.
