PrashnaTimeBest Practices
A Prashna asked at a clean moment yields a sharp answer. Asked at a polluted moment, even an honest question gets a muddled chart. Knowing time-windows is half the discipline.
Best times
- Brahma Muhurta (about 1.5 hours before sunrise).
- Mid-morning, after sunrise calm has settled.
- Early evening twilight.
- When the asker is calm, focused, sincere.
Times to avoid
- Mula Gandanta (junction-points of certain nakshatras).
- Eclipses (Surya/Chandra grahan).
- Rahu Kaal of the day.
- Yamaganda or Gulika kaal.
- When the asker is angry, drunk, or distracted.
Practical guidance
- Calm down for 5 minutes before asking.
- Avoid asking immediately after waking.
- Best to ask after a small meditation.
- If unsure of time validity, the Prashna tool flags problems automatically.
