The Hindu lunar calendar, or Panchang, remains a cornerstone of spiritual life, dictating optimal times for every endeavor to ensure prosperity and peace. On January 30, the Magha month’s concluding Pradosh Vrat arrives on a Friday, transforming it into the auspicious Shukra Pradosh— a golden chance to seek Lord Shiva’s benevolence.
Drik Panchang details reveal Shukla Dwadashi ending at 11:09 AM, paving way for Trayodashi, ideal for this vrat. Moon’s entry into Mithun Rashi pairs with Ardra Nakshatra until early January 31 morning.
Plan your day around these shubh muhurats: Brahm from dawn’s 5:25 to 6:18 AM, midday Abhijit at 12:13-12:56 PM, and evening Amrit Kaal 6:18-7:46 PM. Note Vaiddhriti Yoga till 4:58 PM, with sun rising at 7:10 AM and setting at 5:59 PM.
Avoid initiating new ventures during Rahu Kaal (11:14 AM-12:35 PM), Yamagand (3:17-4:38 PM), or Gulika (8:31-9:52 AM) to prevent hurdles.
This vrat’s power lies in attracting Shiva and Parvati’s divine favor. Evening Pradosh rituals—abhishek with milk, adorning with bel leaves, dhatura, and bhang, followed by parayan—guarantee wish fulfillment. Devotees fast rigorously, channeling devotion into profound spiritual renewal.
Friday’s alignment enhances remedies for Shukra dosh, promising wedded bliss, financial abundance, and overall felicity. Special reverence for Vishnu Priya adds layers of sanctity. Seize this celestial alignment for transformative worship.
