  • Indian Calendrical Calculations
    Indian Calendrical Calculations Nachum Dershowitz Edward M. Reingold† Abstract We analyze various Indian calendars. We discuss the Indian day count, a generic solar calendar that generalizes various calendars including the mean Indian solar calendar, the true and astronomical Indian solar calendars, a generic lunisolar calendar that generalizes the Indian version, and the true and astronomical Indian lunisolar calendars. We also discuss aspects of the traditional Indian calculation of the time of sunrise and the determination of lunisolar holidays. The months of the Hindus are lunar, their years are solar; therefore their new year's day must in each solar year fall by so much earlier as the lunar year is shorter than the solar.. If this precession makes up one complete month, they act in the same way as the Jews, who make the year a leap year of thirteen months. , and in a similar way to the heathen Arabs. —Alberuni's India. 1 Introduction The world's many calendars are of three primary types: diurnal, solar, and lunar—see our Calendrical Calculations: Millennium Edition [5] (henceforth CCME). All three are represented among the many calendars of the Indian sub- continent. ¡ A diurnal calendar is a day count, either a simple count, like the Julian day number, or a complex, mixed-radix count, like the Mayan long count. The classical Indian day count (ahargana) is used for calendrical purposes. ¡ Solar calendars have a year length that corresponds to the solar year. All modern solar calendars add leap days at regular intervals to adjust the mean length of the calendar year to better approximate the true solar year.

  • Science and Significance Behind Ugadi
    SCIENCE AND Raman SIGNIFIANCE OF Suprajarama UGADI A special alignment occurs in the solar system on the day of Ugadi and is extremely powerful. SCIENCE AND SIGNIFIANCE OF UGADI By Raman Suprajarama Ugadi begins on March 24, 2020 at 2.06 pm, for Ujjain. The festival can be celebrated on March 25. The name of the Samvatsara is Sharvari. What is Science and Significance behind of Ugadi? Ugadi is the beginning of the Vedic year. In 2020, Ugadi is celebrated on March 25. Ugadi is a combination of two words - “yug” which meaning union and “aadi” meaning foremost, first, beginning etc. It is a supreme union that occurs every year and Chaitra masa begins on this day. The legend goes that on this day of Ugadi, Lord Brahma initiated creation of Earth on this day. The day also marks beginning of spring season, signifying a new beginning for a fresh start. Ugaadi has much more significance and benefits for human beings, considering the planetary movements that time. Powerful Planetary Alignment on Ugadi The cosmic alignment on the day of Ugadi is extremely powerful. It has a special significance. 3 most important changes that happen on this day. 1. Earth doesn’t really move in circular motion. It moves in elliptical motion. During the time of Ugadi, the distance between the Sun and Earth is at an average distance, which means it is neither too far nor too close. This also means that the rays of Sun fall uniformly over the surface of the Earth, which has tremendous benefits for humans.
