Shri Udayabhanu Panickarji,

 

Jai Shri Ram!

 

<DO ANY ONE HAVE PANCHANGAM BASED ON OUR ERA, KALI ERA OR ANY OF THE OLD

ERA STARTED BEFORE CE.>

 

The earliest and the only original indigenous astronomical work for

calculating tithi, nakshatra and months and ayanas is the Vedanga

Jyotisham by Acharya Lagadha of about 14th century BCE. The Paitamaha

Siddhanta and also Vasishtha Siddhanta of Panchasidhantika almost follow

that very pattern.

 

Since there were no varas i.e. weekdays then, as they too were imported

much later from other coutnries, nor do we find any mention of

twenty-seven yogas in the VJ, nor of bava etc. Karnas, for that

matter, it means that in the intial stages, India was having only

" dvi-anga " i.e. " an almanac with two limbs i.e. tithi and nakshtra " .

 

Inclusion of vishkumbhadi yogas appears to be a post Surya Sidhanta

development whereas vara i.e. week days and bava etc. karnas appear to

have been used prior to that since they are mentioned in the Atharva

Jyotisha of about fifth century BCE.

 

Obviously, there cannot be a apanchanga of prior to the Surya Sidhanta

since the fifth anga i.e. vishkumbhadi yogas did not exist till then in

India. And the Surya Sidhanta by Maya the mlechha is a work of about

first century BCE/AD.

 

Jai Shri Ram!

 

A K Kaul
