Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 Dear Goel sir, I think you are quite confused about tropical and sidereal signs and their connection with the festivals.The festivals are primarily tropical. But they are also sidereal at the same time, as the difference between them being neglected upto 15 degree or while the same tithi are touching both the sidereal and tropical sankrantis. They are jointly sidereal and tropical. It is not as you say sometime tropical and sometime siderealas follows:. < " Equinoxes and Solstices were in no way linked to Sidereal> If what you say is corect then why in Vedanga jyotish it is said that 'when the sun is in dhanistha then uttaryan occurs simultneously.'? In the below expression also you have missed the mark. <Makara Sankaranti was always observed on the ingress of Sun in sidereal > Makara (Capricorn) sign which contains Sharvan Nakshatra. > As such the assumption that Makara > sankaranti was celebrated on the occurrence > of the day of winter solstice , is nothing but a fragrance of misplaced > imagination.> If what you say is corret then why in sidhanta yotish it is said that 'uttarayn occurs at makar sankranti?' Thus Goel sir why are you not taking things as thery are expressed in the books and try to say what the boodks do not say.?

Your celebrating it on August 30 must therefore be " double nirayana " , since nirayana festivals are usually one month ahead of Sayana festivals, whereas yours appear to be one month behind Sayana and nirayana, both! > As such, three cheers for Hari Malla-calendar, which is neither nirayana nor sayayan least of all Vedic olr Pauranic! > It is futile to discuss any other astronomical or sidhantic point with you since you have got an infection from some " parokshya Professors " to interpret everything and anything the way you want to! > Dhanyavad. > AKK > HinduCalendar, " harimalla@ " <harimalla@> wrote: > > > > Dear Shri Kaulji, > > Namaskar! The logic is simple.In the purnimanta system, the Kojagrat purnima is the equinoctical purnima.At present Ashwin purnima is said to be the Kojagrat purnima.But Ashwin purnima does not touch the preesnt tropical equinox, during its fluctuation, but Bhadra purnima does go forward and backward of Ashwin 7th, the equinoctical date or september 22-23. Thus the present Bhadra purnima becomes the undoubted equinoctical purnima and thus the Kajagrat purnima too. > > There is no change of prevalent system here.Only the renaming of Bhadra purnima as Ashwin purnma to keep the dharma shastraas intact since dharma shastras says, Ashwin purnima is the equinoctical purnima and the start of Kartik snana from it. Thus we only call the Bhadra purnima as the Ashwin purnima. Since the lunar month shift one month for the above reason,in a coordianted fashion, we also shift the solar months.This is required in our soli lunar system where the sun and the moon are coordinated. > > In the Amanta system,Kartik sukla pratidpada( overdhan puja, or the start of Ram rajya) is said to be the equinoctical date. This is also shifted by one month backward as it does not touch the equinox,whereas the present Aswin sukla partipada, which touches the equinox becomes the equinoctical pratipada as it goes both backward and froward from the equinoctical date of September 22- 23 during its fluctuation. Please refer to the drawing 'Scientific basis of calendar reform' in the file section of parvasuhar forum. > > The underlying principle or theory behind it is, do not change any of the present system or formula, but only change the numerical values in the formulas as required, so we do not disturb the superb vedic system that we already have, which is to guide the whole world in the future for world peace.A guideline which will guide all future calendar reforms in the world, including the Gregorian calendar, of which the modern conscious Christians are not fully satisfied. > > > > Thus my request to shri Kaulji, to realise the suberb calendar we already have, and not to meddle with our system, with the help of a lesser developed calendar which is the Gregorian calendar, inspite of Shri BK Dixit's praise for it.thank you, > > Regrds, > > Hari Malla > > > > HinduCalendar, " a_krishen " <jyotirved@> wrote: > > > > > > Shri Hari Malla ji, > > > Namaste! > > > <Happy Vijaya Dasami 2066, on Bhadra 14; August 30,2009> > > > What are the criteria for celebrating Vijaya Dashmi on August 30, 2009? > > > Dhanyavad. > > > AKK > > > HinduCalendar, " harimalla@ " <harimalla@> wrote: > > > > > > > > parvasudhar2065, " harimalla@ " <harimalla@> wrote: > > > > > > > > Dear members, > > > > Happy vijaya dasami 2066!
