Experts Tips For Rakshabandhan Muhurt For Rakhi 2020

Hello & Welcome to my another blog that is written especially for those who love astrology!

Yes- Experts Tips For Rakshabandhan Muhurt For Rakhi 2020

So, let's get started!

Rakshabandhan Muhurat For New Delhi, India

• Raksha Bandhan Thread Ceremony Muhurat :09:27:30 to 21:17:03 Duration :11 Hour 49 Minute
• Aparahan Time Raksha Bandhan Muhurat :13:47:39 to 16:28:56
• Raksha Bandhan Pradosh Muhurat :19:10:14 to 21:17:03

The best time to tie Rakhi on Raksha Bandhan is during Aparahna which is late afternoon according to Hindu division of the day. 

Rakshabandhan occurs on the day when Purnima (full moon) of the Hindu month Shravan prevails during Aparahan Kaal.

Aparahankaal is not considered important at many places like Punjab. Hence, they celebrate the festival before Madhyahan, i.e. usually during early morning. But, our scriptures completely prohibit Raksha Bandhan celebrations during Bhadra, no matter what the situation is.

On the festival of Raksha Bandhan, sisters tie a Rakhi on the wrist of their brothers. They wish for the long life, prosperity, happiness, etc. of their brother(s).

In case, of the lockdown- if you are enable to meet your brother, then you can also tie the rakhi to lord krishna, after taking bath.

Many astrologers says that The proper time to tie the thread on August 3, 2020, is from 09:28 AM to 09:28 PM.

Pooja is performed for Lord Hanuman and forefathers, as they are offered flowers, incense sticks, rice, fruits, coconuts and sweets.

I have read in many articles online and found out that- This year, along with Sarvartha Siddhi and Longevity Ayushman Yoga on Rakshabandhan, the Sun is becoming the composite of Saturn, Somvati Purnima, Moon of Capricorn, Shravana Nakshatra, Uttarashada Nakshatra and Preity Yoga. Before this coincidence was formed in the year 1991. This combination is considered to be particularly fruitful for the agricultural sector.".

3. Hankies

4. Shoes-  Well- I have read that It is very bad luck to gives shoes as a Christmas present, as it is thought to signify that the receiver will walk away from you.  But I have gifted shoes to my brother many a times. But i think it's a Superstitions.

5. Black Color-Giving or receiving black items is said to always be bad luck, as the color black brings death with it. You’re also never supposed to give a book with a red cover. They are the color of anger and misunderstanding.

" So much alike brothers ( wink)

Powerful Tips to Overcome Negative Thoughts and Embrace Positive Thinking

It starts with just a thought or a feeling. Or maybe with a sentence spoken by someone else.

And then it starts to drag you down.

Hello friends!

I am Cheshta, here again with my new blog- Powerful Tips to Overcome Negative Thoughts and Embrace Positive Thinking.

I am sure- it will be helpful.

Negativity that wells up inside of you or in the world around you can quickly become toxic and hold you back from living the life you want.

1. When you’re in what seems like a negative situation, find what’s good.

If you’ve had a setback, stumbled or failed then things might look bleak and so negative thoughts may start to crop up and threaten to fill your view of this situation.

To counteract that ask yourself better questions.

Questions like:

• What’s one good thing about this situation?
• What’s one thing I can do differently the next time to likely have a better outcome?
• What’s one thing I can learn from this?
• How would my best friend support and help me in this situation?- Well- I always talk it with my husband/ brother or my parents!

2. Reminder: people don’t care that much about what you say or do.

It’s easy to fall into negative thoughts when you think about what people may say or think if you do or do not do something.

And so you zap your personal power and may trap yourself in analysis paralysis.

Getting stuck in your head and in thoughts like that will drag you further away from what you want and from reality.

Because the truth is that people don’t have that much time, attention or energy to think or talk about what you do.

3. Question the thought.

One thing I like to do when a negative thought taps me on the shoulder and tries to start growing in my mind is to simply to question that thought.

I ask myself:

Should I take you seriously?

This most often leads me to say: well, no, I honestly shouldn't.

Because at that moment in time I’m tired. Or hungry. Or overworked and so negativity can try to cloud my mind. So I usually start my fav track and dancing for no reason or ran to my kitchen and eat something.

4. Replace the negativity in your surroundings.

Ask yourself:

What are the top 3 sources of negativity in my life?

It could be people, websites, magazines, podcasts, music and so on.

Then ask yourself:

What can I do to spend less time with these 3 sources this week?

If you can’t find ways to do that right now for all three of them then take a smaller step and focus on doing that with just one of these sources.

Then spend the time you’ve freed up this week on more positive sources and people that are already in your life or that you want to explore and perhaps make a new part of it.

5. Bring positivity into someone else’s life.

If you get stuck in negative thoughts or victim thinking then one of the simplest ways to get out of your own head and the thoughts bouncing around in there is to focus outwards and on someone else.

A few ways to add positivity to someone’s life is to:

Be kind. Give him a genuine compliment, hold up the door or let him into your lane while driving your car.

Help out. Give her some good advice that have helped you or help out with moving houses or planning and preparing for the party next weekend.

Just be there. Listen for a few minutes in a focused way as he vents. Or talk his difficult situation over to help him to start finding his way out of it.

WRAPPING UP-

• Listen To Upbeat Music
• Get A Good Laugh
• Walk Around The Block
• Declutter
• Give Someone A Hug
• Think About What Went Well
• Allow Yourself To Vent

I hope you like my blog and my tips! The coronavirus outbreak and the subsequent lockdown has made people resort to social distancing and self-isolation but according to the experts long period of isolation can have adverse effects. But this time will pass soon!

Be positive! and try to help yourself, and people around you!

Mogra Plant (मोगरा)- Say Bye Bye To anxiety and stress!

Hello Readers!

I am your blog Friend- Cheshta with another blog for you. Today I was thinking of sharing something about Mogra Plant (मोगरा).

• Scientific name: Jasminum sambac
• Higher classification: Jasmine
• Family: Oleaceae
• Order: Lamiales
• Kingdom: Plantae
• Rank: Species

If you want to adopt this plant, then I would suggest- https://www.instagram.com/botanic_bloom/

Well, refer my name- "CHESHTA" & get amazing free goodies( pot and fertilizers) along with your plant, and discounts too :) 

So coming back to this Mogra Plant (मोगरा), let us understand more about this peaceful looking plant.

The beautiful and sweet-smelling Jasmine plant has several scientific benefits as it helps in the reduction of anxiety and stress, and it is also known for helping with inducing sleep. Very few know that as per Vastu, the jasmine plant attracts positive energy and soothes the nerves. It also helps maintain harmony in romantic relationships.

Many of my readers must be thinking- "Why is my mogra plant not flowering?"

Then I would say that -Perhaps the fertilization is the problem. Too much nitrogen fertilizer will direct energy to growing foliage and take away from the blooms that are forming. This can also be the issue when most jasmine flowers are not blooming, but a few are peeking through. Phosphorus heavy plant food often jolts plants into bloom.

The plants should be watered on a weekly basis, but if the soil becomes dry before that, water the plant early

The sheer, heart captivating fragrance of Jasmine florals is not a secret but apart from keeping the bedroom filled with a pleasing smell, this magnificent plant could also help you to get a good night's sleep. They do not require tight upkeep and can easily live in a pot. According to Vastu, they should be placed on the window sill for maximum effect.

As we all are stuck inside our home, and we have no productive work to do- so why not do some planting? Yes, trust me growing plants with your own hands and watering them daily is magical experience. You can adopt few plants and see yourself the change in your life! Recently I have adopted krishna tulsi, and mor pankhi and aloe vera! 

Mogra Plant (मोगरा) is the new in my list! and trust me I am loving it!

Please do the same, and share your experience with me- I will love to read!
