AATHREYA aarbeekay - PANCHAANGAM IX

 

YOGAM and KARANAM

 

Yoga and KaraNa are more important for advanced study of events

and are not so much in common practice for ordinary students of

Panchaanga like me and are usually passed over simply invoking

them to be auspicious as Subha Yoga , Subha Karana .

 

1.Yoga means Union - Yoga is the sum of Longitudinal movements of

Sun and moon . Each Yoga is , same as nakshathra, 13.20 degrees.

Again same as Nakshathras , there are 27 Yogas and they are used

to determine auspicious moments for travel purposes.

 

2.KaraNa is exactly half of a Thitthi and there are two KaraNas

for one Thitthi. But there are only 11 KaraNas and they keep

rotating among the 30 Thitthis. KaraNas are mostly mentioned

during performance of Vrathas and other Vedic rituals.

While a Thitthi is of 12 degrees , each KaraNa is of 6 degrees.

 

It is for Vedic Jyotish pandits to throw more light on

27 Yogas and 11 KaraNas.

 

Om Hari Hara Om Thath Sath .
