Free Jyotish software for Chaughadiya, Rahukaal, Gulika, Yamaghantak etc.

[Guest guest]

Dear Jyotish community,

 

For precise calculations of Chaughadia muhurta, Rahu-kaal,

Gulika-kaal, Yamaghantaka etc., for any place on the globe, and

several other such free astro-utilities, the FREE Vedic Jyotish

software had been released in March 2007 and is available for download

at following web-location:

 

http://howisyourdaytoday.com/DwnlodVJ.htm

 

However, to prevent commercial exploitation of these free utilities by

un-scrupulous publishers, a small restriction has been put in the

program. The program permits calculations of these muhurtas up to a

pre-specified future date. Thereafter, it needs a small update file

for extending this permission.

 

Previously, this " pre-specified permissible date " was 30th June 2007.

Thereafter, users were expected to download a very small update file

(of 36 kb only). Running this small application would extend the

permitted date to 31st December 2007. Please note, YOU DO NOT NEED TO

DOWNLOAD THE MAIN PROGRAM afresh, if you have downloaded it after 7th

March 2007. You just need to download a very small utility update file

only.

 

After release of this software, more than 5,000 downloads has taken

place in less than previous 5 months. I am happy to see popularity of

these utilities across the globe. But, perhaps, due to my less clear

instructions about utility section update (provided in the program),

hundreds of users could not understand the update insructions and have

contacted me personally after 30th June 2007. They wish to know that

how should they update the free utilities section for future use also.

I wish to inform all of them that update instructions may be found on

following page:

If you have downloaded the main program on or after 5th July 2007, or

downloading it now, you need not the update file.

 

For those, who do not know about " Chaughadia Muhurtas " , it would be

beneficial to mention that it is a quick Vedic Jyotish method of

finding out the intraday auspicious timings to commence or initiate

important works - like starting a new venture or journey etc. The

prosperous trading communities of India, especially from Gujarat,

Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, have been using it since ages to find

auspicious time to improve their chances of success. For knowing more

about Chaughadias, you may visit following page:

The key features of the software are as follows:

 

1. Highest degree of precision in timings:

 

The software provides highest degree of precision in timings of

Chaughadiya, Rahukala etc. The Chaughadiyas, Rahu-kaal etc. are

calculated exactly for the desired geo-graphical coordinates, using

precise Sun-rise and Sun-set timings of concerned location itself.

Remember, these muhurta calculations are primarily based on correct

determination of Sun rise and Sun set timings.

 

2. Sun-rise and Sun-set calculations as suggested in our ancient Vedic

scriptures:

 

The Sun-rise and Sun-set timings are calculated for the " Middle of

Sun-disk " , as suggested in our ancient Vedic scriptures. Many almanacs

('Panchangas') and astrology softwares are found using Sun-rise and

Sun-set timings for the " Edge of Sun-disk " , which is basically wrong

and error in shown timings for various 'Chaughadiyas' and " Rahu-kaal "

may be up to several minutes.

 

3. Simultaneously calculation and integration of " Rahu-kaal " also:

 

Many Jyotish scholars had advised to avoid 'Rahu-kaal' timings, even

if, otherwise, it is a good Chaughadiya ('Amrita' or 'Shubha').

Program simultaneously calculates " Rahu-kaal " also on the same screen

and underlines this highly inauspicious time with red colour and marks

it as [bad], even if it is a 'Amrita' or 'Shubha' Chaughadiya. You

need not to refer Rahu-kaal table separately.

 

4. Provision for " Day Light Saving Time " (DST) adjustments:

 

In some regions of the globe, watches are moved ahead by one hour

during summer months. It is called 'Day-Light Saving Time'. The DST

gets adjusted in all shown timings (like, Sunrise, Sunset, Muhurta

start and end timings) of the concerned date.

 

5. In-built global geographical coordinate database (atlas):

 

Program comes with huge in-built geographical coordinate database,

consisting of almost all Indian and US cities and towns. Besides that,

at least, capital city of every country on this globe is included in

the atlas.

 

6. Facility to enter the geographical coordinates manually:

 

Program offers facility to enter and save the geographical coordinates

of concerned place manually also.

 

7. Automatic adjustment of all timings according to the " Standard Time

zone " :

 

Program picks up " Standard Time zone " (the difference from Greenwich

Mean Time) and geographical coordinate of specified location

automatically. All shown timings are adjusted accordingly. You have

the facility to alter the time-zone values manually also, if needed.

 

8. You need not to enter your location every time:

 

Your previous choice of location (and geographical coordinates) is

automatically saved as " Default location " for the next run. You need

not to enter your location every time.

 

9. The muhurta-tables may be printed:

 

The Chaughadiya-tables, Rahu-kaal table, Gulika-kaal tables etc. may

be saved to a text file for printing purposes. A click on the <Print>

push-button is all that is needed.

 

Your feedbacks and suggestions for improvement in this software are

most welcome.
