Dear BhakthAs:

As Sriman Sadagopan mentioned, Rahu kalam in USA or elsewhere depends

on Sun rise as well sun set. Here is the calculation for the rahu

kalam

First find out the sun rise and sun set for your location. For US location

this can be found out from the following web site.

http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneYear.html

In this table, one hour for daylight time is to be added to the times shown , if and when in use.

The time duration between sun rise and sun set on any particular day

is divided by eight. This is called octant. For example, if the time

duration between sun rise and set is 13 hrs, then time octant is 97.5

minutes, say 98 mts. (13 hrs. is 780 mts. and this is divided by 8).

For Monday, if the sun rise is at 7:15 a.m., then rahu kalam is from

8:53 (7:15 + 98 mts) plus 98 mts. and so from 8:53 to 10:31 (98 mts duration).

 

Adiyen found this method some time back in the web site

www.agastiyar.org

.. (Agastiyar universal magazine - describing about vaaram, tithi,

stars, yogam and karanam - But now not able to open it. ) and also

from other source.

Adiyen does not remember the name of the source.

Adiyen may please be excused for any error and omission.

Hello

Hello,

 

Does the rahukalam, yamakandam apply at the same time in USA as

followed in India? For example, 7:30am-9am is rahukalam on Mondays.

So will the rahukalam be between the same time in USA or should we follow

Indian time?

 

Regards,

Neeraja

Dear Srimathi Neeraja Chari:

No , it does not .

The determination of Rahu Kaalam et

al and

others are based on Sunrise time at

the locations

where you live .

Here are examples as to how it varies

across the Year at East Coast of USA

..

*****************************************************

For Monday , Oct 11 , on the East Coast

of USA

Rahu Kaalam was between 7.27 to 8.52

A.M ( 85 Minutes)

On Oct 18 (Monday) , it is between 7.33

to 8.55 A.M ( 82 Minutes)

On Oct 25 ( Monday) , it will be 7.38

to 8.59 A.M ( 81 Minutes)

On Nov 29 ( Monday) , it will be 8.09

to 9.21 A.M ( 72 Minutes)

On Dec 24

(Monday) , it will be 8.29 to 9.38 A.M ( 69 Minutes)

On Jan 24(Monday) , 2005 it will be 8.27 to 9.41 A.M ( 77 minutes)

On Feb 28 (Mondy) , 2005 , it will be

between 7.56 to 9.20 A.M ( 84 minutes)

On March 28, 2005 , Monday , it will

be between 7.21 to 8.55 A.M ( 94 minutes)

On April 26(Monday) ,2004 it was

between 6.44 to 8.27 A.M ( 104 Minutes)

For the end of the months of May , June , July , August and September

2004 ,

Raahu Kaalam for Mondays were between

:

May 24 : 6.21 to 8.12 A.M ( 111 Minutes)

June 28 : 6.20 to 8.13 A.M ( 113 Minutes)

July 26 : 6.35 to 8.24 A.M ( 109 Minutes)

August 30: 6.59-8.38 A.M ( 99 Minutes)

September 27 : 7.18 to 8.47 A.M ( 89 Minutes)

For one has performed Saranaagathy to the

Lord ,

the influence of grahams like Raahu , Sani

etc

is of secondary importance . Once , one

has placed

the burden of protection

of the jeevan at the sacred

feet of thge Lord with AchAryan's MahOpakAram

,

one can ask : Graha Palam yEmi ? " and recite

Swamy Desikan's Sri RanganAtha Padhuka

Sahasram SlOkam overcoming the powers of

Navagraham .
