Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Namasthe! I hope my small understanding of Ayanamsa will be of help. Ayanamsa is the difference (as measured at an epoch) between Hindu first point and the vernal Equinox. An epoch marks the beginning of new historical periods. The exact period is not known but some of the dates that are said to have this coincidence are 361AD, 394 AD, 397AD, 498 AD and 559AD. This is calculated when the Sun reaches a particular point in the Equinox, when throughout the world, the duration of the day/night is equal. At this time, the position of the earth to some fixed star (I request scholars to throw more light on identifying this fixed star) is 50 1/3 “. Accordingly, Ayanamsa is calculated by Subtracting the epoch with the Year of birth and multiplying it by 50 1/3”. The product got is reduced to degrees, minutes and seconds. Eg: Born on 1981: Ayanamsa = (1981-epoch)*50 1/3 reduced to degrees, minutes and seconds There are many values give to Ayanamsas today. The best way to find out which is better is by bold">self experimenting rather than asking others. Revered Dr. Raman used the Raman Ayanamsa and he is known for his remarkable and accurate predictions. There are still others scholars who use different Ayanamsa and get astonishing results. I personally use Raman Ayanamsa in stock market forecasts, which require high degree of accuracy, and have been successful. I invite scholars to discuss more on this.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2004 Report Share Posted May 12, 2004 Namasthe! Some of the dates are taken from certain manuscripts we posses. However, you will also find these dates in "Manual of Hindu Astrology".
