CALENDAR EXPLANATION वशिष्ठ॥ यशमिन् पक्षे यत्र काले येन 饃嵍गशितै啍यि।् 饃�यते तेन पक्षेि कु यााशि镍याशिशनिायि॥् Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all same time all over the world Hence we need to convert the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana time to local standard location in world”. We use our favorite Panchangam brought from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. time. After we know what time a given tithi ends it's a time to decide festival dates for each region. In reality observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. If How festivals are determined? Each festival has a different rule, for example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara the earth is flat we can use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all chaturthi, Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc. Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved when the chaturthi places at the same time, and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the tithi is observed during the 3/5th part of the difference of local sunset and the sunrise. The karwa chauth and the world but the trouble is the earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over sankathara chaturthi the chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the moonrise time. If one thithi is observed at the the world. Additionally, we have time zones and time differenes. Due to the time zones/differences there is another moonrise time in India it may or may not be observed during the moonrise time on the same day in the different part of misconception that as USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada the world. It may be very well observed on the previous day if you are in America or the next day if you are in Japan, and Europe. This is absurd. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and Fiji, Australia, or on the same day as India, due to different sunrise times, different sunset, moonrise timings and tithi say an event is occurring in India (For example One day International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the timings requires a separate panchangam for different places. Panchang makers in India cannot prepare printed previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM. Which panchang for each and every place, increasing printing costs etc. Hence, they just make panchang for the one of the gives 6 hours 30 PM the previous day in USA/Canada. Same rule is applied here. Tithis, Nakshatras, Yoga and Karana city in India. Given that example even the IST remains same for Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to West ends at the same instance all over the world (Like any celestial event). After having tithi and nakshatra endtimes, the Bengal the festival dates can be same for entire India. Sankathara Chaturthi/Karwa Chauth moon rise time is important. rules used to determine festivals in India are applied for overseas panchangam. This requires extensive knowledge of Moonrise in New Delhi on a given date is at 19:36 and in West Bengal, Kolkatta is at 19:25 PM. Now tritiya ends at Panchangam Agama (Shastras) with mathematical knowledge to calculate Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana, Day 19:32 PM IST. So Kolkatta will celebrate karwa chauth/sankathara chaturthi on the next day where as people in New (Vaar) and Local factors like Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, and Moonset. Hence, sometimes festivals may appear on the Delhi will celebrate on the same day. same day as India or a day before in the countries west of India. Where as in the countries east of India the festival 23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 31:xx may appear on the same date as India or a day later. 11:xx PM 0:xx AM 1:xx AM 2:xx AM 3:xx AM 4:xx AM 5:xx AM 6:xx AM 7:xx AM There is a basic difference between English date and Hindu Date: The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, same date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date next date etc.) changes at the midnight. Hindu day (Vaar) also doesn't change at the midnight. But changes at the sunrise, a Timings in this calendars are end timings of the Tithi and Nakshatra and for Sun/Moon entering time when it Hindu day is from one sunrise to another. The Hindu date or tithi (the festival falls in to) doesn't change at the midnight. enters a new rashi. If the hour number is greater than 12 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then The Hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) changes anytime as celestial it ends on the next English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next bodies keep moving. The Tithi duration is the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to English date. For example tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 19th March 2015 it means it really ends past midnight of increase by 12°.

  • Ayurveda, the Traditional System of Medicine Gives Equal to Daily Regimen As Well As Seasonal Regimen
    Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine gives equal to daily regimen as well as seasonal regimen. Both are dependent. Because we change our daily regimen according to seasons. Humans are blessed with a beautiful environment to live in. The nature of the environment changes with the seasons. There are six seasons. Summer, rainy, spring, autumn, early winter and late winter. One season accompanies the other in the form of a cycle. In our life’s journey, we pass through childhood, middle age, old age which is not under our control. Similarly we have to face all season irrespective of what your age is or where you live in. Seasons are a part of our life. Ayurveda has described each season with its features and appropriate regimen in ritucharya chapter. Ritu means season and charya means regimen. From this we come to know that regimen in each season is different from the other. Another thing is that seasons is not unique in all parts of the world. The basic concepts in Ayurveda is related to tridoshas. Vata, pitta and kapha are the tridoshas. Human body can’t exist without these basic principles. These doshas are subjected to variation according to ages, day and night, food, lifestyle, seasons etc. Doshas predominate in a particular season depends upon the characteristic feature of that season. Each season has its own features. Seasons are formed as a result of earth’s position with respect to sun. Depending on this, there are two major divisions: uttarayana and dakshinayana.

  • Dipika's Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at Pray That You Are Well
    Dipika©s Detailed 2020 Hindu Calendar Prem Namaste, Vanakkum, Jai Mata Di, Jai Shree Krsna, Jai Shree Raam We at www.dipika.org.za pray that you are well... Many thanks for remaining an awesome Hindu¼ Many have asked us to compile an article on the Hindu calendar for example what are the Festivals dates and Rahu kalam . *** Do note that SOME of the information given below for the festival dates is from the S.A.H.M.S. We don't take any responsibility for the information supplied by them. We ONLY have done this for Hindu uniformity within South Africa. Should you have any issues with their dates below please do contact them on 031 3091951 or email [email protected] ***. {Another point of note is when you see a * before a prayer date it means this is not in the general Hindu calendar that Hindus have in their homes. I have added these dates because these are equally important prayer dates that sadly seems to be ignored every year.} DO NOTE:- All times indicated below, associated with the start or end of a religious day are in 24-hour format. Firstly the Festival dates are the dates that a Hindu observes. This is quite self explanatory. For example for Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, we have a full explanation of this very important festival date on our website. Many ask what is this festival all about and how does one go about celebrating it. Hence this website is meant to make people from all cultures more aware of these important Hindu festival dates.

  • Chapter 6: India
    Chapter 6: India Subhash Kak Our understanding of archaeoastronomical sites in India is based not only on a rich archaeological record and texts that go back thousands of years, but also on a living tradition that is connected to the past. Conversely, India has much cultural diversity and a tangled history of interactions with neighbouring regions that make the story complex. The texts reveal to us the cosmological ideas that lay behind astronomical sites in the historical period and it is generally accepted that the same ideas also apply as far back as the Harappan era of the third millennium BC. In the historical period, astronomical observatories were part of temple complexes where the king was consecrated. Such consecration served to confirm the king as the foremost devotee of the chosen deity, who was taken to be the embodiment of time and the universe. For example, Udayagiri, located a few km from Vidisha in central India, is an astronomical site connected with the Classical age of the Gupta dynasty (320–500 AD). The imperial Guptas enlarged the site, an ancient hilly observatory going back at least to the 2nd century BC, at which observations were facilitated by the geographical features of the hill, into a sacred landscape to represent royal authority. Indian astronomy is characterised by the concept of ages of successively longer durations, which is itself an instance of the pervasive general idea of recursion, or repetition of patterns across space, scale and time. An example of this is the division of the ecliptic into 27 star segments ( nakshatras ), with which the moon is conjoined in its monthly circuit; each of these segments is further divided into 27 sub-segments ( upa-nakshatras ), and the successive divisions of the day into smaller measures of 30 units.
