The common interpretation of Pushyaarka yoga is the combination of Sunday & Pushya nakshatra. This is Moon's entering all nakshatras everymonth. This common interpretation is when moon entering Pushya nakshatra on Sunday is PushyArka yoga . The other interpretation is Sun enters all 28 nakshatra in one year. When Sun enters Pushya nakshatra when Sun is in Karka or Kataka souramana month or Cancer month This is actually PushyArka yoga. As per the Uttaradi Matha or Panchanga in English calender, Sun entering Pushya nakshatra is from July 19th to August 2. Recitation of Raghavendra Stothra 108 times during July 19 to August 2 will give you lot of phala & benefit. Please refer to Panchanga in English, Page 5 for details. http://www.geocities.com/panchangaminenglish/index.htm As per this panchanga also, Pushyaarka yoga is only from July 19 to August 2nd as per IST which is same universally. If you refer to Uttaradi matha panchanga http://www.uttaradimath.org/panchangas/pdf/sarvadhari_panchanga_sans.pdf Check Page 21, if you see the right side, it is written Ra for Ravi (Sun), & Pushya As per the panchanga, Guru Pushya yoga is on 31st July & 28th August as per IST.

This means both the solar eclipse (thesun blocked by the moon), and lunar eclipse (the moon blocked by the sun).An eclipse is considered to be a good time for the recitation of the Rayaru Stotra.puShya--one of the nakshatras (It seems to correspond with the Cancerconstellation in Western astronomy).arka--sun.samaagame--During the union of the sun & puShya.

This word was chosen veryspecifically by Sri Appanacharya because of its double-meaning.Sri Raghavendra Swami's works are called 'dIpa', 'prakaasha' or 'dIpikA', because they shed light on the difficult to understand works by SriMadhvacharya, Sri Jayateertha (Teekacharya).
