need clarifications

[Guest guest]

Sri:

 

Sri NVS swamin,

 

Recently adiyen came across a discussion about fixing a day for birthday

celebration in a gathering.

 

adiyen thought that at Sun rise time the nakshatram should be present for at

least for 1.5 hours ( 8 nazhigai).

Some one said the nakshatram should be present at the time of Muhurtham.

Another person said nakshatram should be present for many hours of the day.

We all agreed to celebrate the same tamil month for every year.

 

1. How does one find out which day to celebrate birthday ( for doing ayush homam

)?

2. If one is born on first padam, 2nd padam of nakshatram, when to celebrate the

birthday?

 

dasan.

Re: When to a nakshtram?

 

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.

Sri NVS swamin,

dasoham.

 

 

Pardon, adiyen. What is the reference of morning hour measured?  Is it after

midnight hours or from sun rise? From what time up to what time is considered

morning?

Can you swamin express in nazhigai from sun rise, like a tithi for a punya

kalam measured? (example: minimum 20 nazhigai)

 

dasan.

With reference to Indian Time:

(Add or subtract, if the Sunrise differs much from 6.00 am)

2.30 Nazhigai = 7.00 am

5.0 Nazhigai = 8.00 am

7.30189; Nazhigai = 9.00 am

10.0 Nazhigai = 10.0 am

12.30 Nazhigai = 11.0 am

15.0 Nazhigai = 12.0 noon

 

12.00 Noon is the bench mark for all vaideeka Poorva Karyams which are

restricted to perform only in the morning. The Muhurtha time should end at 12.00

noon Uttaraanga karmas and asirvadhams can be continued after that.

 

All nazhigais are referred only from sun rise only (Almost 99% of Panchaangams

keep this).

If a muhurtha time which is selected before sunrise should also be

referred only from the sun rise.

For example:

If the sun rise is : 6.00 am

and the muhurtham fixed is between 5 am and 6.30 am

then it should be mentioned as :

" Udhayaat poorvam 2.30 (irandarai) naazhigaikku mel udhayadhi 1.15 (onedrekaal)

nazhigaikkul " .

 

The star should be identified by its longevity during the sun rise to mid day

with respect to poorva karmas.

 

Punya Kaalam is different from the above:

You need not worry about the punya kaalam because which is common for all, and

which is clearly mentioned in the panchangams by which you can adopt one.

Dear Sir,

 

Shankhu or Shankhaahishekam in Kerala and in Smartha traditions refer to pouring

out of water (or other materials like oil, ghee, honey, milk etc) from Shanku.

Both the types of Shankhu are used. Abhishekam done with Valampiri (sinistral

conch) is consider better.

 

Prasna Marga, a book which is used in Kerala for prasnam prescribes

Shankhaabhishekam as Pariharam for doshas of moon.
