Guest guest Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 The confusion with the dates is caused by the fact that in Indian astrology they still uses the old measurement of the day, that a day start on sunrise and continues until next sunrise. So if the full moon is at 01.57 in the middle of night on the 16 November (with our day shift starting at midnight), the moon day will be on the 15 November, because it's still within the current day (before sunrise). The astrology is used to set the proper time and dates for the different rituals like pujas and festivals. So sometimes it doesn't corresponds to the moon days you se in calendars because they are set after the daysplitting at midnight. In the old Roman time system we had the same day shift at sunrise. I don't know when we figured out that the new day should start at midnight, and not at sunrise. Hope it puts a little clarity over the matter. > _____ > > eeeee eeeeeee [loriental1984] > Tuesday, November 15, 2005 6:34 PM > ashtanga yoga > ashtanga yoga moon days > > > Hi all, > > I read that we are supposed to rest on moon days.

Guest guest Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have a question... for some of us that are not Hindu or Buddhist and don't practice pujas or any of their festivals, Do we still need not to practice on Moon days? I've read from other correspondence here that the only reason why Sharath doesn't teach on Moon days is because they don't have the time anymore because pujas take most of the day. pls correct me if i'm wrong...
