[USBrahmins] new vedic panchanga

[Guest guest]

Dear Shivaramaji,

 

Precession is the most important thing in the Hindu calendar which makes the

Sidereal calendar different from the Tropical calendar. The Shivaratri festival

is the best example. Darshaneyji's calendar is faulty as he is ignoring

precession and he is sticking to Tropical calendar. Now he is silent after I

mentioned about Shivaratri in the Kaushitaki Brahmana.

 

 

Mr. Kaul had been unable to give any reference to any ancient  Indian shastra

about the Makar Rekha. He should admit that he was trying to fool others. The

Makar Rekha is the translation of the Tropic of Capricorn. This is one of his

numerous unsubstantiated claims.

 

Sincerely,

 

Sunil K. Bhattacharjya

Shri T. V. Sivaramanji,

Jai Shri Ram!

Your efforts in propagating the right type of Hindu calendar in different forums

are really appreciable.  Such efforts are bound to result in a mass awareness,

and may even compel " Vedic astrologers " also to do a lot of rethinking on their

stands till date.

I would like to just make a small clarification (which does not necessarily mean

a correction to your or Shri Darshaney Lokesh's stand!) regarding your following

statement, " Yes, for well over 1400 years we failed to correct our calendars

(panchangas) , for what is known as the precession of the equinoxes.  Our

panchangakars take the length of the year to be 365.258756 days as given in the

Surya siddhanta of about 500 A.D., while the correct length of the tropical

year, which alone can be used according to the same siddhanta  and modern

astronomy, for calendrical use, is 365.242196 days. The difference of .01656

days is partly due to errors of observation and failure to recognize the

precession of the equinoxes.  This modicum of difference has now grossed up to

about 23.2 days, with the result the Indian solar year instead of starting on

the day following the vernal equinox ( vasantha vishu ) on March 22, starts now

on April 13 or 14. "

In fact, precession of equinoxes has absolutely nothing to do with the Hindu

calendar having gone off the track!
