  • 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.

All human and animal life has evolved accordingly, Concept of Adhik-Maas (Extra-Month) keeping awake during the day-light but sleeping through the dark nights. Even plants follow a daily rhythm. Of Introduction: course some crafty beings have turned nocturnal to take The Hindu calendar is basically a lunar calendar and is advantage of the darkness, e.g., the beasts of prey, blood– based on the cycles of the Moon.

  • 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.

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.

  • Padmini Ekadashi
    Padmini Ekadashi Suta Goswami said, "Yudhishthira Maharaja said, '0 Janardana, what is the name of the Ekadashi that occurs during the light fortnight of the extra, leap-year month (Purushottam Adhik Maas)? How does one observe it properly? Please narrate this to me.' "The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna, replied, '0 Pandava, the meritorious Ekadashi that occurs during the light fortnight of the extra month of leap- year is called Padmini. It is very auspicious. The fortunate soul who observes it with great determination and faith will return to My personal abode. This extra-month Ekadasi is as powerful as I am in nullifying sins. Even four-headed Lord Brahma cannot glorify it sufficiently. Long ago Lord Brahma told Narada about this liberating, sin-removing Ekadashi .' "Lotus-eyed Lord Krishna became very pleased by the inquiry of Yudhishthira and spoke to him the following pleasing words: '0 king, please listen carefully as I narrate to you the process of fasting on Padmini Ekadashi .' which is rarely done even by great sages. " 'One should begin his fast on Dashami, the day before Ekadashi , by not eating any urad dal , pink dal, chickpeas, spinach, honey, or sea salt,' and also by not dining in the homes of others or off bell-metal plates. These eight things should be avoided. One should eat only once on Dashami, sleep on the ground, and remain celibate. On Ekadashi .' the devotee should rise early in the morning but should not brush his teeth. Then he should thoroughly bathe-in a place of pilgrimage, if possible.
