Sri T.R .Govindarajan's observations

[Guest guest]

I agree with Sri T.R.Govindarajan's observation .

Sunrise and sunset are crucial points in time for

calculation of the Yogam , thithi , kaalam , kuLikai,

Yama kandam , selection of times free of dhOsham

for observance of subha kaaryams et al . All tie together

in our sampradhAyam with the Sunrise and sunset .

SandhyA Vandhanam done here connects to sunrise

here or wherever we are , be in Europe or Japan .

 

Regarding NirdhOsha kaalams , it is generally coceded

that there is no thithi dhOsham at dawn , no nakshathra

dhOsham during Abhijhit mUhUrtham ( Between 12and half to

fifteen naazhikai ) , no lagna dhOsham during sunset

and no vaara dhOsham during night .

 

GrahaNa tarpaNam is done on occasions of GrahaNam ,

which some times is seen in India and some times here

only .

 

Thus , it apppears logical to fit into the local time

and geographic parameters in defining our nithya,

Naimmitthika karmAs .
