Sarvartha Siddhi

Sanskrit: Sarvārtha-siddhi

Type
Concepts

Sarvartha Siddhi is "success in all things": an auspicious vara-nakshatra combination.

Sarvartha Siddhi (Sarvartha-Siddhi) — a favourable combination of the day, calculated from vara and nakshatra. The name comes from the Sanskrit "sarva-artha-siddhi" — "the accomplishment of all aims." Tradition places Sarvartha Siddhi among the auspicious combinations, favourable for most worldly undertakings.

Place in the system

Sarvartha Siddhi is not a window within the day, but a yoga of the day: it forms from vara and nakshatra, not from dividing daylight. The word "yoga" here means "combination," not Yoga — the fifth limb of the panchanga, calculated from the sum of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes. These are different things.

Sarvartha Siddhi yoga does not arise every day: it forms when the day's vara coincides with one of several nakshatras fixed to it within the circle of 27. The number of nakshatras that give Sarvartha Siddhi is different for each vara — from three to seven; the panchanga does the calculation. The window lasts as long as the coincidence lasts — until the nakshatra ends or the vara ends, whichever comes first. On days without such a coincidence, there is simply no yoga.

Amrita Siddhi always falls within the Sarvartha Siddhi set of the same vara: the two share a common principle of construction, but Amrita Siddhi's set is narrower. When both form, the bot shows Amrita Siddhi as the stronger one.

Tradition places Sarvartha Siddhi among the auspicious combinations. It is one of the most widespread systems for choosing time in India.

Practical meaning

Sarvartha Siddhi is favourable for most worldly matters: trade, planting, building a house, study, travel. Tradition counts it among the "complete" favourable combinations.

The Sarvartha Siddhi background works through completeness. Tradition holds this combination supportive for both the spiritual and the worldly.

In Indian folk practice, Sarvartha Siddhi is one of the most respected windows. Many families plan important events so they fall on Sarvartha Siddhi.

In daily practice

Sarvartha Siddhi is a favourable window for important matters. If the panchanga shows "now in Sarvartha Siddhi," that means the time favours most worldly undertakings.

Sarvartha Siddhi also suits spiritual practice.

Sarvartha Siddhi also suits important negotiations, starting long-term projects, signing major documents. Tradition holds what is begun here supported by a favourable background.
