Now let’s understand why people check auspicious times for any activity. Historically, checking the auspicious time for an activity is a cultural and spiritual practice that is common in many parts of the world. The belief is that there are certain times or periods that are considered more favorable for starting a new venture, making important decisions, or taking significant actions.

The reasons for checking the auspicious time can vary depending on the individual, culture, or tradition. Some people believe that certain planetary alignments or lunar cycles can have an impact on the energy or “vibrations” of a particular time, making it more auspicious or favorable for certain activities. Others may see the practice of checking auspicious times as a way to align with natural cycles or rhythms and to honor the cycles of birth, growth, and renewal that are present in the natural world. There may also be practical reasons for checking auspicious times, such as wanting to avoid scheduling an important meeting or event during a time when people may be more likely to be distracted or unavailable.

Ultimately, the reasons for checking the auspicious time may vary depending on the individual and the cultural or spiritual context in which the practice is being used.

We got to know now why people check auspicious times for any activity. Now let’s understand what actually good time and auspicious time mean. Auspicious time refers to a specific period or moment that is considered to be particularly favorable or lucky for a certain activity or event. This belief is based on the idea that there are certain times or cycles in nature that are more conducive to success, growth, or positive outcomes.

Now my point is that, for almost all the things you do for money and happiness, ask yourself, “When should you make an investment? Of course, the answer is when you have money. When do you have money? Of course, when it’s your good time, indirectly, when you have money (you may get it from a bonus, salary, any asset sale, or any other activity), it means that time is very auspicious/right for you( the good phase of your life); that’s the reason you got the money, isn’t it?

It also means that when you have money, it’s an auspicious time. That’s the right time for you to invest in the market. Irrespective of whether the market is up, down, or midway, no matter where the market is trading, when you have money, you should invest it, thinking it’s my auspicious time. I got this money, and hence it’s my auspicious time, so I am investing in good shares, which are indirectly invested at an auspicious time, so you will get a good profit, wouldn’t you? Think over it. Logic is very simple: good times mean you have money; when you have money, invest it.

I will have to share my own example. When I started watching the Nifty (Indian indices), it was trading around 5500; by the time I actually started trading, it had become 6000. I still remember there were elections in India (2014). At that time, people were saying, “It’s better to stay away from the market; let’s not do long-term investment; let’s wait for election results.” The election results were exactly the opposite of what was expected, but still, on the day of the market had small volatility, but by the next two days it was normal.

Then the media and a few people (especially those who actually don’t have any position or invested very little money – Media)  create perceptions; nobody knows how this new government will do, and it will be risky to invest from a long-term perspective in India. The government started their work, and it was doing well. Later, the market also slowed down; in the next 5–6 years, it became 12000 (Nifty from 5500). I didn’t even realize how exactly the rally happened, and when it was trading around 12000, the media created panic that it may crash, etc., and small points came down. Then COVID came, and from 12000 it came to 7000, almost 4 years (approximately) having passed. As usual, no one was sure how much time it would take to cure this COVID from the world. Lots of news, research, and numbers we absorbed, but slowly, in a year, Nifty came back to 12000 (from 7500), again, same media, no one knows how it will be our future, is there another lockdown, a new virus is heading, etc. Nobody expected the Nifty to reach 20,000 (approx.) in another 1.5 years.

What I am trying to explain to you is that when I started, Nifty was trading at 5500, and it went up to 20000. Personally, I didn’t realize how it happens—is it really that we made thieving of these people, small short and buy trade and lossing into it? Had I just simply invested and kept quiet for these 10 years, I would have had 4x returns (from 5500 to 20000). That also happened without any headache, without anyone asking or without reading so many research reports and wasting time. Trust me, this is what I felt, so I decided to think decade-wise as well as economic condition-wise. I saw past dates too, and I realized that simply staying invested in the market is the only way you can make money (not on the media sentiments or newspaper stories). Whenever you have money, simply add good shares, which you are adding into the past, and stay invested irrespective of what happens in the economy. Just have an overview or perspective of 10 years. If you make that time-frame investment, I am sure there won’t be a situation like loss in your dictionary.
