Vedic Calendar on the Internet

 

In Vedic Civilization—civilization in accord with Natural Law—every day is a

celebration of the Divine within man. With the dawn of each new day, a different

quality of Nature’s Intelligence awakens within us. Each day is influenced by

the movements of the planets, stars—the whole galactic universe—and it is the

Laws of Nature that give this direction to time*—each day, each hour, each

minute, each second. All of the Laws of Nature are described in the ancient

Vedic texts as Devata—impulses of Creative Intelligence—lively in every grain of

creation. These values of Creative Intelligence are displayed in our Vedic

Calendar as figurative illustrations. For example, the day in the Vedic Calendar

with the quality of Creative Intelligence expressed as Shiva is associated with

the quality of infinite silence. The day with the quality of Creative

Intelligence expressed by the name Maha Lakshmi is associated with the quality

of fullness, affluence—infinite intelligence and creativity that constitutes the

nature of the Unified Field, which evolved the life of the entire cosmos. Every

day is a celebration in the Vedic Calendar year. Every day is different from

every other day—the rising sun, the setting sun, the moon’s phases, the

influence of the planets, and the influence of the near and distant stars. The

values of Creative Intelligence celebrated in the Vedic Calendar are Nature’s

Intelligence that characterize the specific qualities of the days, months, and

changing seasons. Celebrating these qualities of Nature’s Intelligence means

enlivening them in one’s self and one’s environment, and when these values are

enlivened, everything in life blossoms in its fullness. It is a physical

phenomenon that attention enlivens the object of at tention; therefore attention

on the fine impulses of intelligence—celebrating those values—enlivens them and

they enrich life. http://calendars.globalgoodnews.com/vedic/01.html

* The Vedic Calendar on this site highlights the most popular celebration days

of the Vedic Calendar Year (Samvatsar). The days of the Vedic Calendar are

called ‘Tithis’. In Vedic timekeeping, a ‘Tithi’ is a lunar day, or the time it

takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by

twelve degrees. ‘Tithis’ begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from

approximately nineteen to approximately twenty-six hours.

The thirty ‘Tithis’ in each lunar month are indicated on the Vedic Calendar of

this site.

More detailed values of the Vedic Calendar which bring to light the lunar days

with reference to the twenty-seven lunar constellations (Nakshatras), the twelve

signs of the zodiac (Rashis), and further dividsions of time, are not mentioned

in this calendar. Traditionally the Vedic Calendar is calculated with reference

to exactly where the individual is situated, because time and distance scales in

the Vedic Calendar are so precise. For more details regarding Maharishi Jyotish
