The ceremony of Vidyarambh cannot be done on a random day and there are certain rituals and traditions crucial to this process. In almost every important Hindu ceremony, finding a shubh muhurat is inevitable. Muhurat is a time slot which is best suited for a particular task to do and considered lucky. The meaning of education, resources used and results are different in this era, as compared to the previous ones, yet the end result of education remains the same. Great importance was given to providing the best quality education then, and same is followed even now. Vidyarambh Sanskar was given importance then. Nowadays, the trends have changed. But, since education is meant to direct your child to a path of knowledge, beginning it on the right time actually helps.

Vidyarambh sanskar used to take place at the age of 5 years previously, because kids used to start studying after the age of 5 years. But now children start going to school at a tender age of 3-4 years which is why Vidyarambh sanskar also happens early now. Vidyarambh muhurat is calculated by looking at Hindu calendar or Panchang and also birth chart of the child. There are few dates and days which are considered good and lucky according to position of planets and this ceremony can be performed on those days. An astrologer or a priest can help you in finding a right muhurat. Since, there are few tithis which are not favorable for this ceremony, one must avoid conducting it on those days.
Knowledge is important to all. We all learn something everyday right from the day we are born. It is an important part of our lives and the process of growing. It is a duty of all parents that they give their children best education and values - be it intellectual or spiritual. As soon as a child is born, people around him/her start teaching him new things, it is a part of their growing up and is extremely necessary for all. Parents nurture their kids and prepare them for tomorrow as their responsibility.
If a child has to be given his name only in the right Muhurat, he also deserves the right to start his education in a time that would allow him to learn things quickly and have a proper understanding of whatever is taught. Vidyarambh Muhurat 2019 listed above can help people who are considering to do Vidyarambh sanskar of their child in 2019. It is highly recommended to perform this sanskar as nothing is more significant than education for a human being.
