We live on earth, which is surrounded by atmosphere, which is composed of “Pancha Maha Bhootas” (Five Eternal Elements) n¥{Wdr, Amn…, VoO…, dm¶w…, AmH$meíM and houses enormous wealth of natural habitat.

The present paper is related to Star –Plant as described in Tantra Sastras and Ayurvedic Texts like, Sarada Tilaka, Narada Purana, Narada Samhita and Raja Nighantu. All the above said facts were presented in a paper entitled “Astrology and Ayurvedic Plant” by Dr Ramesh Waygaonkar and Dr Radha Raman Das which was published in the Astrological Magazine dated February – 2002. Even before the presentation of this paper, we’ve exhibited the plants in our Sanskrit Science Exhibition in April – 2000 itself. The Plants Exhibited were according to Ayurvedic Texts like Raja Nighantu and Dhanwantri Nighantu.

Revathi Madhuka Madhuca indica Mac Jyothissastra has allocated names to the stars as per the appearance of the constellation in which they are. For example the constellation of Aswini looks like horse head hence the name. The presiding deities are Aswini Kumars who are also happen to be the Deva Vaidyas as indicated in Vedic Texts. This concept of the relation between the shape of the constellation and their derived name is illustrated in the Jyotish text – Muhurtha Chintamani. Now, due to these facts we can see that there exists some relation between the stars and plants. As a matter fact all the flowers blossom during nights. Stars also appear during nights only and some stars are not visible which are with sun. Now, Sin is in Kanya Rasi and therefore the stars from Revathi to Chitta are not visible. 4 V®da Dar¿in¢ - An International Refereed Monthly Research Journal, Issue - IV : January, 2017 Sunrays, as we know, are the lifeline for the plants for making their food and also blossoming of flowers. So it concluded that the rays of stars and Sun combined are effecting the plants. The Sages have established this fact very long ago and formulated the customs accordingly like consuming of Nimba flower with mango on the New Years Day i.e. the Chaitra Sukla Pratipat. This reveals the fact that there is some relation between plants and sunrays combined with stars. The sun transit from star to star in 13 1/3 days (i.e. one karti). (13.33 X 27 = 360 days = 1 year in sauramana.) Accorfing to Raja Nighantu, the plant for Poorvabhadra is Mango and for Uttarabhadra is Nimba. When Sun is across the Poorvabhadra the mango tree blossoms for 13 days. And the flowers become fruits after thirteen days. When the Sun is across Uttarabhadra the Nimba tree blossoms. So the Nimba flowers mixed with mango pieces to be eaten on that day. This custom indicates the science of relation between stars and plants. Just like that, every starry plant blossoms in particular nakshatramana days.

We have seen to many misconceptions surrounding Hindu Religious dates that confuses the young and elderly. We have thoroughly gone through and Maha Rudra Dev mandir is pleased to be in this alliance. Maha Rudra Dev Mandir (MRDM) was created to provide a place of worship for our Hindu community. This was a dream of many Hindus in the Toronto area, especially the youth community. Our religious practices were slowing dying because the youth community found it very difficult to read and interpret our religious books that were written in Sanskrit. There were not many Hindu priests who could expound the teachings of our religion in a manner in which the youth community could understand. The members of Maha Rudra Dev Mandir saw the need to reach out to our youth community and provide support so as to help them to understand and accept the teachings of our great religion. We approached a young and very enterprising Hindu priest, Pundit Ravi Sharma, to assist us in this mission. Pundit Sharma graciously agreed to volunteer his service and help us in this mission his our Spritual leader.

  • 7. Astronomy - Prediction of Monsoon Rains; Parashara, Varamihira, Panchanga In
    7. Astronomy - Prediction Of Monsoon Rains; Parashara, Varamihira, Panchanga in comparison to modern methods Modern scientific knowledge of methods of weather forecasting have originated recently. But ancient indigenous knowledge is unique to our country. India had a glorious scientific and technological tradition in the past. A scientific study of meteorology was made by our ancient astronomers and astrologers. Even today, it is common that village astrologers (pandits)are right in surprisingly high percentage of their weather predications. Meteorology is generally believed to be a new science. It may be new to the west, but not in india, where this science has existed since ancient times. A systematic study of this science was made by our ancient astronomers and astrologers. The rules are simple and costly apparatus are not required. Observations coupled with experience over centuries enhanced to develop meteorology. The ancient/indigenous method of weather forecast may be broadly classified into two categories. 1. Observational method -indicators 2. Theoretical methods (or) Astrological factors (or) planetary factors Computation of planetary positions and conjunctions of planets and stars Study of solar ingress and particular date of months Study of Nakshatra Chakras Study of Nadi Chakras Dashatapa Siddhanta Alamanacs in Indian astronomy and astrology (Panchangs) According to the Encyclopedia Britannica (1969), “An almanac is a book or table containing a calendar of the days, weeks and months of the year, a register of ecclesiastical festivals and saint’s day and a record of various astronomical phenomena, often with weather prognostications and seasonal suggestions for countrymen”. In India, the classical Hindu almanac is known as “Panchang’.

  • Traditional Almanac Predicted Rainfall – a Case Study
    Indian Journal of Traditional Knowledge Vol. 8 (4), October 2009, pp. 621-625 Traditional almanac predicted rainfall – A case study S Sivaprakasam & V Kanakasabai* Department of Civil Engineering, Annamalai University, Annamalainagar 608 002, Tamil Nadu E-mail: [email protected] Received 24 November 2006; revised 5 April 2008 Rainfall occurring over a place is very important from water resources planning and management point of view. The prediction of rainfall further helps in planning the activities of agriculturists, builders, water supply engineers, and others. At present the Meteorology Department is informing only short term forecasting about weather but long term forecasting is needed for planning. This can be achieved by two methods, namely traditional forecasting and scientific weather forecasting. Traditional forecasting is based on observations and experience using combinations of plants, animals, insects, meteorological and astronomical indicators, and almanacs or panchangs over a period of time. The scientific weather forecasting is based on past records of climate prevailed in the area using mathematical models. During the study, the rainfall prediction by one of the traditional almanac or panchang is studied in depth by considering the actual rainfall occurred over Tamil Nadu for one cycle of 60 Tamil years corresponding to the Christian era from 1936-1995. Graphs showing the trends of prediction and actual were drawn, which indicated the same pattern in both. Keywords: Almanac, Panchang , Rainfall predication, Tamil Nadu IPC Int. Cl. 8: G01W1/14 Rainfall prediction or forecast is defined as to tell prepared for public use from Vedang Jyotish period before hand when, where and how it would rain .

  • Indian Calendar System.Pdf
    Panchanga- Tantra The Magic of the Indian Calendar System Regulagedda Akshay The National University of Singapore Submitted as a part of a Mathematics UROPS Project Panchanga- Tantra: The Magic of the Indian Calendar System / 1 Foreword to the Second Edition The fable of Apara Ganita and the Mystical Garden of Enchanted Numbers is obviously fictional. The inspiration is Leelavati Ganitam, a chapter in the ancient mathematical treatise, the Siddhanta Siromani, written by Bhaskaracharya in 1150CE. The Leelavati Ganitam is fascinating not only for its treatment of indeterminate analysis and a method to solve Pell’s Equation, but also, as a Canadian university’s website on mathematical history puts it, for its poetic conversation between the narrator and a narratee named Leelavati1. The similarity between this poetic construct and the conversation between Apara Ganita and the dwara palika is probably noticeable. Frame stories are not common for scientific research papers, but they certainly have a historical precedent. 1 “Bhaskaracharya”, History of Mathematics, Simon Fraser University, <http://www.math.sfu.ca/histmath/India/12thCenturyAD/Bhaskara.html> (21st September, 2002.) Panchanga- Tantra: The Magic of the Indian Calendar System / 2 Prologue – The Mystical Garden of Enchanted Numbers Once upon a time, in the magical mystical city of Suvarnapuri2, there lived a student called Apara Ganita3. Apara Ganita was virtuous and devoted to his sciences. Having spent considerable amount of time learning the shastras from his guru, he was surprised when one day his guru called him up. “You have performed well, O sishya4 mine”, the guru said, “but the time has now come for you to take leave”.
