Special Yogas: Impact of Panchak and Bhadra

- Wood-related work
- Constructing a new bed or roof
- Traveling south
- Funeral rites (special mantras are needed for mitigation)
- Bhadra – enters Prithvi Lok
The effect of Bhadra Kal in Prithvi Lok is more significant. Auspicious events such as weddings, naming ceremonies, housewarmings, and business inaugurations should be avoided during this time. Bhadra's influence is present throughout the day on June 17th and will end after midnight.
Preeti Yoga and Shatabhisha Nakshatra – What do the stars say?
- Preeti Yoga: Preeti Yoga, literally meaning love and harmony, generally has a positive impact. This yoga lasts until 7:40 AM on June 18th. This time is suitable for mental peace, improving relationships, and creative pursuits.
- Shatabhisha Nakshatra: Shatabhisha Nakshatra is considered mystical and possesses healing properties. It is auspicious for medical practices, research, tantra-mantra, and esoteric studies. Those inclined towards meditation, spiritual practices, and introspection may find this day particularly beneficial.
Fasts, Festivals, and Religious Beliefs
While there are no major fasts or festivals on June 17th, being a Tuesday, the worship of Hanuman Ji, recitation of Hanuman Chalisa, and prayers for Mangal Dosha Shanti hold special significance.
What to do

June 17, 2025, requires careful planning from a religious perspective. While yogas like Panchak, Bhadra, and Rahukal necessitate caution, Preeti Yoga, Abhijit Muhurta, and Shatabhisha Nakshatra offer a counterbalance. Planning your day according to the Panchang will not only ensure success in your endeavors but also bring mental and spiritual peace.
