For those that DONT, please adjust your times according to Pacific Daylight Savings Time schedule. So yes Grace, then you would start on the 11th and end on the 17th.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Dear Nanda, I was just looking at the local panchang for Sydney and it says nothing about Navaratri...so what exactly am I looking for in terms of astrological bits for Navaratri to begin? Thank you again...and sorry I am so scattered with my questions.

If you are looking at the local panchang for Sydney ( which I believe is a better way to go - so kudos to you), you would look for the Solar date for when the second tithi , ie Dvitiyam of the Lunar month Chaitra falls, and start your group sankalpa for that date. Now , here is the thing - since the calendar that you are looking at may follow a different Indian language , the name may not coincide with "Chaitra". So in such a case, you would pick the name of the lunar month which starts approximately on the 9th/10 of April (coinciding with "Chaitra") and look for the Dvitiyam tithau for the waxing fortnight and start then. It should be either of the 10th or 11th for you. Did that help ? Please let me know Nanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Dear Nanda, Thank you . Yes that does help. According to this Panchang for Sydney the Dvitiyam Tithau , starts sometime on Sunday Apr. 10 and goes until 5.28 am Mon Arp. 11. Consequently, I can start the group sankalpa on Sunday the 10th but to be on the safe side I should do iit in the afternoon to insure that Dvitiyam has started. Jai Maa and Jai Swamiji Grace P.S. I can always do a few extra prayers of omission to cover myself On 05/04/2005, at 8:12 AM, Nanda wrote: > > > > Dear Nanda, > > I was just looking at the local panchang for Sydney and it says > nothing > > about Navaratri...so what exactly am I looking for in terms of > > astrological bits for Navaratri to begin? > > Thank you again...and sorry I am so scattered with my questions. > > Grace > > On 05/04/2005, at 7:54 AM, Nanda wrote: > > > > Dear Grace, > No worries, I am here to help. > > If you are looking at the local panchang for Sydney ( which I > believe is a better way to go - so kudos to you), you would look for > the Solar date for when the second tithi , ie Dvitiyam of the Lunar > month Chaitra falls, and start your group sankalpa for that date. > > Now , here is the thing - since the calendar that you are looking at > may follow a different Indian language , the name may not coincide > with "Chaitra".
