Thoughts on Days of the Week

[Guest guest]

Austin had a very good question earlier this month. Unfortunately there was no reply, so I forward the question again to the Jyotishis at this list. It is important to know if we can use the information of the day of the Wek in predictive astrology.

Namaste all,

 

Perhaps this an an esoteric question at best but worth the effort to bring forth for conversation.

How do we know that Monday IS Monday? or Tues IS actually Tues or any day of the week? This is of great importance to Jyotish due the the Graha's that rule the days.

 

Throughout history many have adjusted the calendar:1. Dionyslyus Exiguus was asked by Pope John I to review and revise the calendar that was in use since Julius Caesar ( this was around 470 AD.)...He started the count of the year with 1...not zero.

Most Christen societies use this existing count. So if he started with 1 the yr. 2000 begins in 2001.

 

2. Roman Months - initially there were 10 months....the last month = December from the Latin root decem or 10.

2.1 More months were added: July was added to honor Julius Caesar (100 BC to 44 BC; also developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar used in the west today.)

August was added for Augustus Caesar ( 63 BC to 14 AD) More months = more days and more decisions that mortals make on how to "fit this all in" .

 

There's more examples, yet the question still arises - what signs can we look for to insure we have the right dayssequenced correctly? Are there signs in nature we can look for?

Has the Vedas and Jyotish calculations from time past kept the days in sync?

 

Any thoughts from the group would be of interest.OM TAT SATArchive: varahamihiraInfo: varahamihira/info.html

JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

Dear Cristian,

 

Namaste.

 

Please look at page 394 in vol 1 of BPHS.

 

First thing is that a savana day is from sunrise to sunrise, and this will come

to an

average of 24 hours on most of the latitudes on the earth (excluding the far

north and

south latitudes, where the Sun does not rise or set every day a year.

 

The number of days from the beginnig fo creation upto the day of birth is called

Ahargana.

In the Vigyan Bhasya of the Surya Siddhanta, it is stated, that on the panchami

of Sukla

Paksa of Magha month in 1979 vikrami year 714 404 131 603 have elapsed since

creation. The

abbreviated Ahargana for January 0 in 199 was 70621. If we add the number of

days that

have passed since then , and divide it by sevenm then the remainder will

indicate the

Vaara, or weekday. If it's 0, then they day is Saturday, if 1, then Sunday, etc.

 

So obviously the weekdays follow each other beginning with Sunday from the

beginnig of

creation, therefore it really bears a direct influence on the chart.

Practically speaking

this is the only factor in the Vedic calendar which is not really influenced byu

astronomical influences.

 

You should also bear in mind that in the Vedic calendar weekdays are counted

from sunrise,

while in western, from midnight zonal time. There is a peciluarity in this, that

in the

higher latitudes where the Sun does not rise or set daily, int's not so easy to

determine

the change of weekdays in this way, and this will also influence the

distribution of

Horas. So in this case the recommended method is to take the local noon as the

middle of

the day and begin the day 6 hours before it.

 

Yours,

sequenced correctly? Are there signs in nature we can look for?

Has the Vedas and Jyotish calculations from time past kept the days in sync?

 

Any thoughts from the group would be of interest.

> Namaste.

 

Thank you for your information. It looks like all the days have been

recorded since the start of Creation if the book referred to is correct. i

also know that the Jews are fasting every friday. They have done this for

more than 2300 years. >

 

Best Regards
