About Parigha Yoga
Name: an iron bar barring a gate
Parigha's name describes an iron bar dropped across a gate — a deliberate, physical barrier rather than an accident. Read as a Yoga, that image becomes a caution against starting things: Parigha is one of the nine inauspicious Yogas, associated with obstruction that blocks a matter before it can properly begin.
Because the imagery is specifically about a closed gate, Parigha is traditionally held back from anything meant to open a new phase — new ventures, travel, and formal beginnings — while being considered acceptable for work that is itself about closing something off or holding a boundary.
Suitable during this Yoga
- Securing boundaries or closing off a matter
- Defensive and protective work
Traditionally avoided
- Starting new ventures
- Travel and journeys
- Marriage and formal beginnings
Frequently asked questions about Parigha Yoga
Its name pictures an iron bar dropped across a gate — a deliberate barrier. Muhurta texts read that as an obstruction specifically to opening something new, which is why Parigha is held back from ventures, travel and formal beginnings, though it is considered acceptable for work about closing or securing something.
A Nitya Yoga is one of 27 periods based on the sum (not the difference, as with Tithi) of the Sun's and Moon's longitudes, each 13°20' wide. It is distinct from the special Muhurat Yogas also listed under /yogas (like Ravi Yoga or Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga) — those are formed by a combination of Tithi, Nakshatra, and Vaara, whereas a Nitya Yoga is one of the five ever-present core elements of the Panchang.
