Dear Swami,

Is it possible that Janma Nakshathiram

/Jathakam can be drastically different depending on

the Panchangam that is used.

 

For example: AdiyEn noticed that on 28.01.97, Pambu

Panchangam shows Uthram for 34.40 NAzhigai. However

with Thanjavur Thrikanitha Panchangam Uthram extends

Uthram as late as 10.30pm on that day.

 

It will be of great use if Swami can share your valued

assessment on the different Panchangams that are in

the market (including the underlying kanitham used in

those panchangams, and pro's & con's of each).

 

AdiyEn Sri RAmAnuja DAsan,

 

Sudarsana DAsOsmi

 

 

***

I very much appreciate the interest in your question.

But I feel, however this is out of the scope of this group,

as myself one among the 'Panjangam Publisher' I wish to give a

brief explanation according to my time permission as on today's target.

 

Later, I try to post a complete article in the title, " How to prepare an almanac

(Panjangam) or Panjanga Nunukkangal "

 

For now :

Everybody know that five angams (parts) is called as panjangam and its parts.

 

There are two type of panjangams Drik or Thirukkanita and

Vakya, and many types of " Ayanamsa " which is very hard to understand now, but

which plays a key role in making a panjangam.

 

Vakya method is very old type, which depends on the " Slokas " which is also

called 'Vakyams' in which every aspect of the panjangam has been given as

formula.

These formulae are like some algebraic expressions (a+b)2 (square) can be

expanded as a2 + b2 + 2ab, this is only example.

Like that, those slokas will be memorized by the astrologers and some simple

additions and subtractions to the expansion of that slokas will derive every

aspect of the panjangam for that specific year.

 

It is obvious, by which these 'Vakyas' we can not get the perfect calculations

out of it.

So, as a result, the Vakya Panjangams are 'Approximations'.

But, it includes some sutras to adjust and get more or less perfect things in

every small intervals.

 

Now the Thirukkanita panjangam has complete calculations, which may or may not

require ephemeris. These calculations are made with two to eight digit after a

period (point / dot) to get the value of fractions.

 

So, there must be difference in Vakyam and Thirukkanitham.

 

As per my experience and from our elders' advise, using Thirukkanitham is

better for the purpose of astrological predictions.

And,

Using 'Vakyam' is better for the purposes of 'Anushtanam'.

Because in Thirukkanitha panjangam they have no provision to decide a ritual

according to shastrams. For example, there is some sukshmam to find on which day

the 'Vaishnava Ekadasi', on which day the 'shradham' should be done for a

specific Thithi etc.

 

Needless to say, our Paranthaman panjangam is " Vaakyam " which is puplished for

the purpose of Anushtanam.

 

I know that the explanation given may clear the doubt for somebody, and it may

further confuse somebody.

 

Though I can explain more about panjangams,

I do not wish to continue on this subject more for time being.

Dear Swami,

AdiyEn would treasure this response.

Swamin's direction appears to AdiyEn as,

Use a " trusted " Drik Panchangam for astrological

predictions like Jathakam, Poruttham etc. Eg.

Thanjavur Madakku Panchangam (prefer Swami's

recommendations).

 

Use a " trusted " Vakya Panchangam like Paranthaman

Panchangam for AnushtAnam including planning events

like GruhapravEsam, Vivaham etc.

 

Now AdiyEn realize why many Vaidhikas insist they

compute the Jathakam or ask which computation was

used.

 

 

Looking forward to Swamin's article on, " How to

prepare an almanac (Panjangam) or Panjanga

Nunukkangal " . Coincidentally AdiyEn noticed that the

Online Panchangam at www.panchangam.com tallies with

Pambu Panchangam & Thethi tamizh calendar. It will

be very useful if someone can launch an online

calendar for Paranthaman Panjangam, as it will be very

valuable for AnushtAnas.

 

Is Swamin aware of any online Panjangam for

Thrikanitha Panjangam.

 

DanyOsmi.
