When to a nakshtram?

[Guest guest]

Dear Swamin, Namaskarams! When a nakshathram is present on two days,

which day should it be observed on? In the US east coast, Aadi Pooram

starts at 8:30 AM on Sunday, Aug 3 and is present until Aug 4, Monday,

9:18 AM. Which day should the nakshthram be observed for birth day and

Aayush Homam?

 

Namaskarams.

 

Adiyen,

Sridharan

 

***

As per anushtanam

in which day a star is present atleast 12 Nazhigai or about 5 hours from the

sunrise is to be taken as the star of the day for the purpose of Ayushya homam

etc.

Dear Vasu Vadhyar, Namskarams! In reading swamin's reply about when to

observe a nakshthram, adiyen has a confusion. In this case, the

nakshthram is not present at sunrise on the first day (it comes at

8:41 AM, sunrise at 05:03 AM) and on the next day it is present at

sunrise but only until 09:18 which is only about 4 hrs from sun rise.

It is not required that the nakshthram be presnt at surise for it to

be observed that day?

 

Adiyen,

Sridharan

 

***

A star will remain minimum 22 hours of time.

In which day it remains maximum time in the morning to be observed.

Swamin,

 

Further to your explanation on when to celebrate a day on the basis of

Nakshatram, Can I seek a clarification on knowing when the mahabharani

for this year needs to be observed ( for Mahalaya Paksham ) in the US

East Coast ( Cambridge, Boston ). The details are as given below:

 

Sunrise: 06:28 Hrs. 18th Sep 08, Bharana starts at 10:17 Hrs and lasts

until 07:38 hrs of 19 Sep 08 ( sun rise 06:29 Hrs on 19 Sep 08 ).

As it is related to Tharpanam for pitrus,

the vyapthi (duration) of the Star should be more in the afternoon.

Hence I hope 18th (as per the details given by you) is Maha Bharani.
