All thithis' commencement time and ending

time is universally same.

Thithis are calculated based on the

movement of sun and moon. .

This is true for nakshatras, yogas and karanas

also. Therefore, the time difference between India and your area does not

apply to the commencement / end times of thithis. Or in simple terms the

thithis are at the same times as in India.

 

The calculation method is same for everybody (all siddhanthas).

For sankalpa, the thithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the Vaara ruling

one and a half hours before sunrise has to be used.

 

As per Madhva matha sampradaya & Indian coordinates, Sri Narasimha Rao has

prepared

HAPPY CALENDER YEAR 2006 !!!

 

This calender was prepared based on NY coordinates for NJ Venkateswara

temple, Bridgewater, NJ by Sri Neti Sivarama Krishna Sastry of Sydney,

Australia.

 

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 follows:

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.

BASICS & USE OF PANCHANGA

 

Thithiyeshcha Shreeyamapnothi vArAth Ayushyavardhanam

nakshathraath harathepApam yogAth Roganivaranam

karanAth karyasiddhishchaath panchangam dashamephalam

 

Knowledge of Thithi bestows wealth, knowledge of vAra increases longevity,

knowledge of nakshatra erases sins, knowledge of yoga cures diseases &

knowledge of karana ensures success in work.

 

All instances of time have five characteristics viz. Vaara, Thithi,

Nakshatra, Yoga & Karana. These five characteristics are detailed for all

the days of the year in an almanac which is called Panchanga (Pancha +

Anga). These characteristics are derived from the positions of Sun & Moon.

Panchangam is used for knowing these five basic characteristics of time for

Sankalpa, locating dates of vratas, locating dates of shraddhas & for

finding suitable dates for auspicious functions.

 

Positions Sun, Moon & other planets are also given in the panchanga.

 

Panchanga considers 7 planets & 2 shadowy planets. They are:

 

PLANETS/SHADOWY PLANETS---------------------ANTARYAMI ROOPA

 

Surya or Ravi- Sun ------------------------Rama

Soma or Chandra- Moon ------------------Krishna

Kuja or Mangala- Mars-------------------Narasimha

Budha or Soumya- Mercury--------------Bouddha

-Quote from Srimad Nyaya Sudha

 

Devotion to the Lord is that continuously surging flood of deep love &

attachment to the Lord of the Universe, which is impregnable by any amount

of obstacles encountered in its march. It should be of such a quality &

texture as would transcend all ownself or to his nearest & dearest ones in

life, or to his most cherished possessions. It should be founded on an

unshakable intellectual & emotional conviction in the Majesty of the

Lord---as the embodiment of all spiritual excellences.
