    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.

    Quite Charming.....Page 4 SUNDAY, OCTOBER 08, 2017 INTERNET EDITION : www.dailyexcelsior.com/magazine Self Analysis....page2 THE KARWA CHAUTH RITUAL LEGEND OF MAHABARATA The legend of this belief is associated back to the Pre-Mahabharata times. It is said that Drupadi wife of Pandvas also observed this fast. It so happened once that in order to undergo penance Arjuna went to the Nilgiris and in his absence his brothers were desperate. Sensing their deplorable condition Drupadi remembered Lord Krishna and asked for help. Lord Krishna advised her to observe the fast of Karwa Chauth. She followed the instructions and kept the fast as per rituals which led to Pandavas to overcome the exaspera- tion they were in. LEGEND OF SATYAVAN AND SAVITRI There was a prediction by some astrologers that Savitri would lose her hus- band soon she gets married. The nuptial bonds were tied and time of her hus- bands departure was impending nearer.Yama, the God of Death came to pro- cure Satyavan’s soul which Savitri manifested. She wept bitterly and begged Yama to grant him life but the Death God could not concede to her request ini- tially. Savitri observed the fast vigorously and propitiating gods got the life of her husband revived. THE LEGEND OF KARVA The story is associated with a devout wife Karva who loved her husband fondly and sincerely. One day while bathing, her husband was caught by a ferocious crocodile in shallow waters. Karva came running and had the croc- odile bound with a cotton yarn and went to Yama, the Lord of the Death and requested him to send the offending crocodile to hell.

    Adhik-Maas - 18Th September to 16Th October 2020

    Adhik-Maas - 18th September to 16th October 2020 Adhik-Maas is the Extra (adhik) Lunar Month (maas) that occurs every 3 years 3 months in the Vedic Calender (Panchang). The Vedic/Hindu lunar calendar adds one extra month approximately every third year. This extra month is known by various names according to one©s locality in India viz. Adhik Maas, Mal Maas, Purushottam Maas, and Malimmacha. This is the thirteenth month of the Vedic/Hindu lunar calendar. Adhik Maas falls between 18th September - 16th October 2020 This month is considered to be very auspicious (adhika = best or greatest), as Lord Vishnu Himself appears in a Calendrical Form to rectify our astrological and astronomical calculations. Since the Vedic/Hindu calendar is based on the phases of the Moon, the transits take 354 days, 8 hours and 34.28 seconds. This creates a difference of 10 days, 21 hours and 35.16 seconds from the actual solar year (365 days, 6 hours, 9.54 seconds). When the accumulated difference exceeds 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.865 seconds, an adjustment is made with an extra month (Adhik Maas). Vasishtha Siddhanta (the treaties of Vasishtha) mentions that Adhik Maas or the extra lunar month occurs after every 32 months, 16 days and 8 Ghadis (a Ghadi is a period of 24 minutes and 60 Ghadis equal 24 hours). This month is considered very auspicious and is especially dear to Lord Krishna's heart. Adhik Maas Vrat is capable of washing away all the sins of people (who observe the Vrat). During this month fasting are observed and donations in the form of food and clothes and the like are distributed to charities.

DECODING INDIAN CALENDAR ALKA PARIKH1 & AAYUSH RAVAL2 1Alka Parikh is Professor, DAIICT, Ganhinagar, Gujarat, India 2BTech student at DAIICT, Ganhinagar, Gujarat, India ABSTRACT This paper shows systematically and scientifically how the Indian calendar calculates time uniquely using both solar and lunar measurements. It shows the fascinating science of calculating time that has not been used by any other time calculation system in the world. It shows the year, month, seasons and days calculations. Also, it shows how the precise mathematical calculations go in making the horoscope. KEYWORDS: Indian Calendar, Tithi, Adhik Mass & Kundali Received: May 01, 2021; Accepted: May 20, 2021; Published: May 31, 2021; Paper Id.: IJHRJUN20217 INTRODUCTION Ori Since ancient times, human beings have defined time according to the movement of the heavenly bodies. A day is g i n defined as the time when the sun is there in the sky. Absence of sun in the sky is the night. But by just looking at a l the sun, we can not distinguish between days – today looks the same as yesterday and day before. For keeping an Ar account of days, human beings for centuries looked at the moon. The shape of moon changes every day, so it was ti c l easy to define the passing of days. Almost all ancient civilizations defined time based on moon. However, the moon e based time cannot define seasons. For that, once again, the sun was needed.
