HOW TO READ THIS CALENDARThis is a Hindu Kartiki Calendar specially designed for Fiji and New Zealand. A month begins with Pratipada of Shukla Paksha as per Shukladi system of calculation.

There are ten columns on each page. These are as follows from left:Tithi, Time, Nakshatra, Time, Rashi, Time, Date, Day, Auspicious Day and notes. Ending time for Tithi, Na-kshatra and Rashi are given in hours and minutes. (e.g.: 15.23 is 3.23pm and 27.40 is 3.40am of the next day.)Tithi, Nakshatra and Rashi time are given in Fiji Standard Time according to rules and with referance from “Dharma Sindhu”, an authoritative book for Tithi calculation. These Tithi are equally effective for New Zea-land. Deduct 2 hours to convert it to Australian time. Daylight saving time should be adjusted accordingly.

Those who follow CHAITRI CALENDAR should note the following.In Chaitri calendar a month begins with Pratipada of Krishna Paksha. This means a month changes at Krishna Paksha and not at Shukla Paksha as shown in this calendar. Therefore you need to change a month at Krishna Paksha. (e.g.: Posh Krishna will become Magh Krishna and so on) Compiled by: Manhar Narsey (for further information - ph: 9916329)

Never defer any work for the future. As far as practicable, finish your task within the allotted time. Otherwise such hindrance may stand in your way that the work will never be finished at all. It is the characteristic of a true man and a man of courage to finish the work which has been started. - Swami Pranavanandaji

Hindu Calendar is based on a lunar year which is approximately 10 days shorter than solar year. To coordinate lunar calendar with solar calendar, an extra month is added every two and half year. Sun transists from one zodiac sign to another in every lunar month. When sun does not transist from one zodiac sign to another, in a lunar month then that particular lunar month is known as Purushotam month followed by normal lunar month.
