Lattitude: 40.43 NLongitutude: 074.01 WADDRESS:45-57 Bowne Street,Flushing, NY 11355Tel: (718)460-8484Fax: (718) 461-8055http://www.nyganeshtemple.org/HAPPY CALENDER YEAR 2005 !!!

 

This calender was prepared based on NY coordinates for NY Ganesha temple, Flushing by Sri R. Kumar of Vontikoppal Panchanga karta, Mysore, India who has studied jyothishastras.

 

About the calender

 

 

Most of our festivals are observed on days in which certain thithi is prevalent during a specified interval at the place of observance. Thithis & nakshatras being a geocentric phenomenon, the ending moment of a thithi is calculated as such & is equally applicable to all parts of earth simultaneously. Although a thithi usually occurs on the same date in most parts of the earth, it is possible that the prevalence of a particular thithi at a specific part of the day may occur on an earlier date in North America or any other region than in India.

 

However, the moments of sunrise will differ for each place on earth depending on its latitude & longitude & therefore, the hours of duration of these phenomena will vary for each place.

 

The moment of sun's entry into a rasi (zodiac sign) determines the commencing day of a solar month as followsL

b) The same day, if the moment of sun's entry into a rasi occurs during daytime

a) The following day, if it occurs during nighttime.

 

Duration of Raahu kaalam is determined as follows:

 

The interval between moments of sunrise & sunset at NY for a given day, is divided into eight equal parts. The first part is ignored & each one of the remaining seven parts is observed as Raahu kalam, depending on the day of the week as below:

 

Monday: 1st of 7; Saturday- 2nd of 7, Friday: 3rd of 7; Wednesday- 4th of 7; Thursday: 5th of 7, Tuesday: 6th of 7 & Sunday : 7th of 7th.

 

For places like Chicago, IL using Central standard/daylightsavings time, we have to subtract 1 hour; for places using Mountain standard/daylightsavings time, subtract two hours; & for places using Pacific standard/daylightsavings time, subtract three hours in reference to New York, Eastern standard/daylightsavings time ending timings.
