Calendar Explanation

HINDU TEMPLE & CULTURAL CENTER OF IOWA 33916, 155th Lane, Madrid, IA 50156 TEL: (515) 795 2635

Website: www.iowatemple.org

Amavasyant Calendar

We are pleased to release the 2011 calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. This

calendar is specially prepared for the Greater Madrid, Iowa area, and it may not be applicable in other

parts of the world. All time presented here is adjusted for daylight saving time.

Calendar Types: There are two main types of calendars. One is the Solar Calendar which is used in

Tamilnadu, Orissa, Bengal, and Kerala. The other is a Luni-Solar Calendar based on Chandramasa. In

the Luni-Solar calendar there are two types: Amavasyant - months ending in Amavasya; and Purnimant -

months ending on Purnima. The Amavasyant is used in Gujarat, Maharastra, Karnataka, Andhra

Pradesh, Tamilnadu & Kerala (along with Solar Calendar). The Purnimant calendar is used in North

India.

Tithi: In the lunar calendar the moon takes a month for each revolution around the earth. The lunar

calendar is divided into two groups called Pakshas. The first one is called Krishna Paksha (or dark

fortnight) which is when the moon is waning. The second is called Shukla Paksha (or bright fortnight)

which is when the moon is waxing. Each paksha is divided into 15 thithis. The first 14 thithis are the

Sanskrit numbers from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The 15th thithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima

(full moon) & the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (moon is not visible as it is closest to the sun).

So a lunar month consists of 30 thithis and each thithi then corresponds to the time taken by the moon to

move 12 degrees, with respect to the sun. Krishna Paksha tithis are in the darker color and Shukla Paksha

tithis are mentioned in the red color.

Nakshatra: There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) in the Zodiac. A Nakshatra is the zodiac

constellation in which the moon is found on the particular day. Nakshatras are in italics.

Timings listed in the Calendar: The times listed after a Thithi & Nakshatra are the times at which

the Thithi or Nakshatra ends. The panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., a day starts with

sunrise and ends with the subsequent sunrise. Thus, a thithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the thithi

ends before the next sunrise. According to the western calendar, this means that the thithi ends at 5:00 AM

(29:00 – 24:00) on the next day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of

the next day, 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard for any panchangam.

How to read the panchangam:

The time next to the tithi and nakshatra is the time when it is going to end. If tithi or nakshatra

ends after midnight but before next sunrise the end-time will have a value greater than 24

hours. To get actual time, please subtract 24 from the time. The English date and day will be

changed after midnight but not so for the Indian date and day. Indian day/date does not change

at midnight 0:00 hours and it is from one sunrise to another sunrise. e.g. Trayodashii 08:18.

This means Trayodashi ends at 8 hours 18 minutes.

The time next to the nakshtra indicates when it is going to end. The same rules for tithi timings

apply to nakshatras as well. E.g. Rohinii 09:02. This means Rohini nakshatra ends at 9 hours,

02 minutes. Nakshatra is also known as a Star. This way you can find your child’s birth star.

The time for Sun’s samkramana is when sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g.

Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute.

Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occurs based on tropical sun (without ayanamsha). This is

due to earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The earth circles around sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the

Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like

the Sun travels north and south of the equator. This motion of the sun is called Uttarayana – The sun is

moving towards North and Dakshinayana the sun is moving towards South. This motion of the sun

moving towards the north is called Uttarayana. When it is moving towards the south it is called

Dakshinayana. This causes rise to seaons. They are dependent on equinoxes and solstices.

There is a common misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in

time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision

of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you

think Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it’s sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However

Makar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will

use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th

isn’t

Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22

nd of every year.

Differences in Festival dates between India and USA Pundit Mahesh Shastriji

Panchang Ganitha and Siddhanta

Indian Calendar/Panchangam is used everywhere where hindu lives. I am sure when you see this calendar the dates will not agree with one available in India. You might thing this is wrong. But this calendar is prepared using the longitudes and latitudes of Madrid, Iowa, USA and hence its very accurate. The one you bought from india is prepared based on the longitudes and latitudes of specific city in India, and it is accurate for that specific india city but inaccurate for other places including places outside of india. The indian calendar cannot be used outside of india.

People usually align the hindu festivals with the English dates based on indian calendar and then they think if an indian calendar says Janmasthami on a certain date say Sept 2nd 2010, then everywhere in the world it will appear on the Sept 2nd. USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind from India so some of them also think it will come next day in USA, i.e. Sept 3rd 2010. They also argue that my family priest in india told me to celebrate on this date and according to him indian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is completely wrong assumption.

The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..) changes at the midnight whereas the hindu date or tithi, and the hindu days doesn't change at the midnight. Hindu day changes at the sunrise. All days are from one sunrise to another sunrise. Sunday will start at one sunrise and end at next sunrise.

The hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) changes anytime as celestial bodies keep moving. They can change anytime between two sunrises. This means if prathama tithi ends today at 23:02 it doesn't mean that dwitiya tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (anytime after 24 means time after midnight but before next day sunrise), or whatever.

Now what's the hindu date (Tithi)? It's simple tithi is a lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours. So maximum distance between the sun and moon can be 360 degrees. If you divide them by 12 degrees that gives you 30 equal parts. Means we have 30 dates in hindu calendar divided between the bright half, and (Shukla Paksha, Waxing moon) and the darker half (Krishna Paksha, and the waning moon).

Panchangam contains two types of calculations. One based on the local coordinates like longitude and latitude(Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset, etc)., and the other is based on geocentric planetary positions. Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset times are always calculated for each and every place on the earth. Local Sunrise, Sunsets are used to find daily Rahukalam, Yamagandam, gulikai, durmuhurtham times.

The other set of calculations are calculated from the center of the earth (geocentric). The positions of heavenly bodies are calculated from the center of the earth and hence they are geocentric. The planetary positions are first calculated from the center of the sun (heliocentric) and then using the spherical trigonometry they are converted to the center of the earth (geocentric). The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana and daily planetary positions are based on the positions of the Sun and Moon in the heavens and they are part of the astronomical phenomenon. These are astronomical phenomenon it happens instantly at the same moment on the earth and hence thithis, nakshatra will end at the same time / instance all over the world and we have to convert them to the local standard time of the specific country of interest. When eclipse occurs and it's visible all over the world then one converts that time into their timezone. The planets don't wait for sunrise or sunset at the particular place. They just keep moving, like earth is moving around the Sun.

These planetary position of the sun and the moon is computed based on the local time (longitude, latitude) converted to the Universal Time. The tithi end time is also calculated in the Universal time which is then converted to the local time of the place. The planets are calculated from the center of the earth their positions at the given time will be same all over the world. The same way to observe

any celestial event occurs we need to convert it to our local time. Indian Panchang makers convert this to Indian time. The very same say we need to convert it to our time zone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT). After adding the time difference we get the resulting english date and time when they end. Hence, when the calendar is made of india the date they mention is when that tithi will end as per the english date in india. If you take the same date and time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we have a wrong result because of the time difference, and sunrise, sunsets.

For example: October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) krishna Paksha / Poornimant Kartik Krishna paksha tithi Tritiya ends at 16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and chturthi starts. That means at 16:00 hours there is tritiya still prevailing in India. Now on October 17th 2008 in Vancouver, BC at the 16:00 hours we won't have tritiya at that time. We already have chaturthi started. Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed and the position of sun and moon have changed. So what time Tritiya will end in Vancouver? The time difference is 13 hours 30 minutes (with one our day light saving time it gives the difference of 12 hours 30 minutes from IST). So, let's subtract 12 hours 30 minutes from the 16:39:21. That gives us 04:09:21 AM on October 17th. So on October 17th after that time we'll have chaturthi tithi and before we have tritiya. The same way if tithi ends at 8:39 AM on Sept 12 in India it will end at 20:09 PM on Sept 11th in Vancouver. The same way Western Australia is 8 hours ahead of GMT and hence the chaturthi will end there at 12:09 PM on Sept 12th. The planets don't wait for appropriate tithi to arrive on some english date at any location in the world. If it really did we won't have any days and nights (If it happens then celestial bodies will remain static in sky). The earth is round and it keeps moving, we have days and nights. It doesn't wait for tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goes on. The sun doesn't rise instantly at the same time all over the world. Hence we need to convert the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana time to local standard time. Now we know what time a given tithi ends it's a time to decide festival dates for each region.

How festivals are determined? The usual rule to observe festival is whenever that tithi prevails at the sunrise time. But each festivals may have different rules of observance. For example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara (Sankshathi chauth) chaturthi, Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc... For example Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved when the chaturthi tithi is observed during the 8th/15 part of the dinmana or the 3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference of local sunset and the sunrise on the same day. If chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day. Likewise for the karwa chauth and the sankathara chaturthi the chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the moonrise time, if it doesn't prevail then take the day where it prevails during the sunrise. Rules to dertermin shraddha tithi are even different.

So for example if one thithi is observed at the moonrise time in india it may or may not be observed during the moonrise time on the same day in the different part of the world. It may be very well observed on the previous day if you are in America or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries, depending on the local events like sunrise, moonrise, and time difference. Sometime it could be observed on the same day as the date mentioned in India. America is behind india in terms of time. To arrive at the time from india we need to subtract the time from indian time and hence festivals could arrive a day early in usa but not later. For example if a total lunar eclipse is visible in india at 5:00 AM we’ll have a previous day in USA, not the next.

For these reasons Indian panchangam you buy in India cannot be used outside of India. Even

sometimes festival observance dates could vary between Kolkata to Mumbai. So Forget about using

it outside India. If you are looking for precise panchangam for your city please visit

mypanchang.com. After reading this you’ll learn that festivals will not come a day later in USA and

Canada but a day earlier or may be the same day.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam times

are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious times, after

removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

throughout the year ensures continuous gain till the end of year. Even Rahu's transit over benefic house brings more good

house demand more attention from your work in the later part of the year however Saturn will ease things but you need to

work hard. Rahu who was giving you good gains in the first half also changes sign in july brining some expenses. The

month of December will be interesting as Saturn who was protecting you so far is changing sign in mid November and with

that protection gone the year end could bring more troubles at work.

slow work. To add to trouble Guru will continue to give you some troubles, expenses till May. hence till may its double

jeopardy of troubles for you. Rahu has already joined this equation till July hence triple jeopardy of troubles in the first half

of the year. The second half will bring some relief with guru changing its sign to aries causing some financial gains. Help

that you never had from your boss or mentor will be easy now. However, Shani's last part will make you work hard.

Although you may experience some gains but life is not yet that easy. Your health will cause some troubles in the second

part. The things will ease financially after Shanideca changes rashi to tula in mid November. After that Shani will be very

easy on you. Worship of Shanidevata, hanuman chalisa is advised.

without heating it up.

LIBRA / Tula (September 23 to October 22): Be careful of eating disorders, avoid sugar, fatty foods for the first half of the

year. Stomach troubles are indicated till May along with increased competition, and some troubles from hidden enemies.

showering his blessings to you in terms of increase of a family member in the first part of the year. A birth in the family

possible. Shani devata in your 11th house continues the gain given to you by guru graha in the second part of the year. But

as you know things don’t come cheap. Rahu's transit over your first house could introduce some new troubles and

challenges for you. Just be careful in the second part of the year. Worship of durgamata is advised. To add more pain guru

is changing rashi in May and hence combine guru and RahuRahu could bring some health issues and trouble with enemies.

Proper investment in stock market or other kind of planning is advised after May. First part is also very good. You can buy

6.37 carets yellow sapphire to get more gains from guru provided guru in your birth chart isn't connected to malefic

houses. Birth in the family possible after May. However with all this gains, you will not be satisfied at work front. Shani's

transit over 10th house through out the year introduces new challenges, slow decisions could impact your performance.

Please be watchful with your relations with your manager. The second part could bring more troubles with respect to

health. Rahu's transit over 12th house isn’t very good sign for those who have chronic illness or remain sick all the time.

You'll have mental tension. Do you know that popular saying, "When things are bad don't make it worst". Keep your clam.

Worship goddess durga and your rashi lord guru maharaj to avoid ill effects of Rahu in the second part of the year.

increase in the second half of the year. I will advise you to chant hanuman chalisa daily 3 times a day for mental peace and

prosperity. Even you are not having good luck with relations with your manger. Your father's health could add more

worries in this year. Rahu transiting over your 12th house till July adds to this mental unrest and worries. Things will get

better after July with respect to Rahu will give you material gains but you still need to work on your personal skills.

till May. But at the same time your health continues to give you worries which will increase in the second part of the year.

more disputes, differences of opinions with people at work in the second part of the year. Guru changing sign in May over

your 3rd house could bring change of place, work, or location. Overall the second part of the year is very tough. You need

to work hard on your skills, develop some patience. Worship of durgadevi and lord anjaneya is advised.

PISCES / Mina (February 19 to March 20): Guru transiting over lagna gives you some hidden fear. Meditation, yoga is your

best bet for the first part of the year. Shani transiting over your 7th house could give you some travels this year. If you are
