Vishti Karana(also called Vishti or Bhadra) is one of the 11 Karanas in the Panchangam and is considered to be particularly inauspicious. It is considered important in Jyotish Shastra, as actions performed during this time may result in obstructions, hindrances, or negative results.
Significance and Effects of Vishti Karana
Avoiding Inauspicious Actions: One should avoid any auspicious actions during Vishti Karana, such as marriage, travel, starting a new job, or making important decisions.
Chances of Failure: Actions performed during this Karana are more likely to be obstructed or fail.
Unexpected Events: Actions performed during this time may result in unexpected events and problems, so it is called Bhadra Kaal, and special care is advised.
Astrological Perspective
The period of Vishti Karan is known as Bhadra Kaal, in which doing any auspicious work is considered prohibited. This Karan falls mainly on Trayodashi and Chaturdashi dates, coming before any Amavasya or Purnima.
Note: In Vishti Karan, the mind should be kept calm and restrained. Also, it is beneficial to use this period for introspection and peace by avoiding negative thoughts.
