Look for the Rashi where moon is placed for Boy (say Scorpio) and for Girl
(say Pisces).
Step 2:
Turn to page 22 of Panchang, note down suitable dates for Scorpio for Boy
and separately for Girl for Pisces. Next, identify common dates.
Step 3:
Go to page 16 and discard dates with more dosh. Minimum 6/10 benefic
vertical lines needed. Discard dates with more S sign indicating more dosh.
Step 4:
Turn to page 68 of Panchang, from identified dates in step 3 note the Uday
Lagan and time for each date. Look at Moon BAV in both Boy and Girls
table and note points against each Rashi corresponding to Uday Lagan.
Ideal choice of date is when both boy and girl have high points. (On this date
and for this sign, we know that moon is now strong. But ideally all three sun,
moon and Jupiter needs to be strong. Now see in which Rashi Sun and
Jupiter are placed for the month of marriage, in Boys Sun BAV and Girls
BAV the points are noted corresponding to that Rashi. If it is less then
appropriate shudhi puja needs to be done.)
Step 5:
Now, say we have identified 24 Jan 2015 for marriage. The next step is to
identify the muhurat on this date. For this go to page 16/17 find which
Rashis are strong- say Tula, Vrishchit and Makara. Next go to page 102 to
find the time in which the rashis will rise- Tula (23:57 to 2:19) etc. To note,
ending times are given, therefore calculate from end of previous Rashi to
find the time of Rashi under consideration. Marriage is performed in this
time.
Step 6:
For calculating Kaksha. Now, go to page 68. For 24 Jan 2014, Moon at 5:30
IST is at 10S 27* 43. As moon moves at 1 degree every 2 hrs, (at 23:57
minus 5:30) is approx 9 degrees movement add to 10 S 27* 43, it is 12S 7*
43. Each sign of 30 degrees divided by 8 is 3* 20 is one Kaksha. This is
third Kaksha which is Mars. Go to Moon BAV in both Boy and Girl and see if
in 12 sign there is bindu or not. If yes in both, it is good. Next see where the
planet, here Mars is placed in Horoscope and whether Lord is Benefic or
Malefic. Ideally on that day, in that Kaksh, both must have points and the
lord in horoscope must be benefic.
