Guru Diksha Muhurat
You take diksha once in a life. Begin the path with your guru at the right hour.
Taking diksha is a serious, once-in-a-life step. You want a strong start on the spiritual path with your guru. You want the beginning to match the weight of the promise.
The classical texts on muhurta shastra read this rite against the disciple's own chart, not just the day. We do the same, for the place where the diksha is given and received.
What you get
Auspicious windows for the diksha, for the place it is given, each with a date and a start and end time. The top 3 most auspicious ones highlighted. The stretches to avoid tagged along with the reasons. And, the classical text reference behind each recommendation.
What we need
The disciple's birth date, time and place, and where the diksha is given and received.
Diksha is formal initiation by a guru: the mantra given and the lineage entered. It binds the disciple, not the household. That is why the classical rules read the disciple's chart alongside the day.
Testimonials
I took the mantra from my guru at seventy, which people found late. He left the day to me and my memory is not what it was, so I had it worked out and written down.
