Ratna Dharan Muhurta

Ratna Dharan Muhurta refers to the auspicious timing for wearing a gemstone (ratna), which is believed to enhance the beneficial effects of the corresponding planet in one's horoscope. Gemstones are often prescribed by astrologers to mitigate negative planetary influences or to strengthen positive ones.

Key Factors in Determining Ratna Dharan Muhurta:

  1. Planetary Influence:

    • The gemstone is usually worn to enhance the positive effects of a specific planet. The muhurta should be chosen when the planet associated with the gemstone is strong and well-placed in the sky.

  2. Tithi (Lunar Day):

    • Certain tithis are more favorable for wearing gemstones. For example, the waxing phase of the moon (Shukla Paksha) is generally preferred over the waning phase (Krishna Paksha). Dwadashi (12th day) and Tritiya (3rd day) are often considered auspicious for this purpose.

  3. Nakshatra (Constellation):

    • The nakshatra under which the moon is placed on the day of wearing the gemstone plays an important role. Some nakshatras are considered more favorable for specific planets and their gemstones. For example, Pushya Nakshatra is often considered highly auspicious for wearing most gemstones.

  4. Day of the Week (Vara):

    • Each day of the week is associated with a particular planet. Wearing a gemstone on the day corresponding to the planet can enhance its effects. For example, wearing a ruby (associated with the Sun) on Sunday, or a pearl (associated with the Moon) on Monday, is considered auspicious.

  5. Hora (Planetary Hour):

    • The hora or planetary hour is also taken into consideration. Wearing the gemstone during the hora associated with the planet linked to the gemstone is considered beneficial.

  6. Avoiding Rahu Kala:

    • Rahu Kala is considered an inauspicious period during the day and should be avoided when wearing a gemstone.

General Guidelines for Wearing Gemstones:

  1. Purification:

    • Before wearing the gemstone, it is usually recommended to purify it by placing it in milk, honey, or Ganga water, followed by chanting specific mantras associated with the planet.

  2. Mantra Recitation:

    • Chanting the mantra of the corresponding planet while wearing the gemstone is believed to invoke the planet's blessings.

  3. Right Time:

    • After determining the auspicious muhurta, the gemstone should be worn at the prescribed time. Typically, this is done in the morning after bath, while facing the East direction.

  4. Metal and Finger:

    • The gemstone is usually set in a specific metal and worn on a particular finger as advised by the astrologer. For example, a ruby is often set in gold and worn on the ring finger of the right hand.

Example of Auspicious Ratna Dharan Muhurta:

If an astrologer advises wearing an emerald (associated with Mercury), they might suggest the following muhurta:

In summary, Ratna Dharan Muhurta is a carefully selected time based on various astrological factors to ensure that the gemstone provides maximum benefit and aligns harmoniously with the wearer's horoscope.
