CalendarExplanationWe are pleased to release the 20<strong>11</strong> calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. Thiscalendar is specially prepared for the Greater Seattle area, and it may not be applicable in other parts ofthe world. All time presented here is adjusted for Daylight Saving Time.Calendar Types: There are two main types of calendars. One is the Solar Calendar which is used inTamilnadu, Orissa, Bengal, and Kerala. The other is a Luni-Solar Calendar based on Chandramasa. Inthe Luni-Solar calendar there are two types: Amavasyant - months ending in Amavasya; and Purnimant -months ending on Purnima. The Amavasyant is used in Gujarat, Maharastra, Karnataka, AndhraPradesh, Tamilnadu & Kerala (along with Solar Calendar). The Purnimant calendar is used in NorthIndia.Tithi: In the lunar calendar the Moon takes a month for each revolution around the Earth. The lunarcalendar is divided into two groups called Pakshas. The first one is called Krishna Paksha (or darkfortnight) which is when the Moon is waning. The second is called Shukla Paksha (or bright fortnight)which is when the Moon is waxing. Each Paksha is divided into 15 Tithis. The first 14 Tithis are theSanskrit numbers from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The 15th Tithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima(full Moon) & the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (Moon is not visible as it is closest to the Sun).So a lunar month consists of 30 Tithis and each Tithi then corresponds to the time taken by the Moon tomove 12 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color and Shukla PakshaTithis are mentioned in the red color.Nakshatra: There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) in the Zodiac. A Nakshatra is the zodiacconstellation in which the Moon is found on the particular day. Nakshatras are in italics.Timings listed in the Calendar: The times listed after a Tithi & Nakshatra are the times at whichthe Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., a day starts withSunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithiends before the next Sunrise. According to the western calendar, this means that the Tithi ends at 5:00 AM(29:00 – 24:00) on the next day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM ofthe next day, 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard for any Panchangam.How to read the Panchangam:The time next to the Tithi and Nakshatra is the time when it is going to end. If Tithi orNakshatra ends after midnight but before next Sunrise the end-time will have a value greaterthan 24 hours. To get actual time, please subtract 24 from the time. The English date and daywill be changed after midnight but not so for the Indian date and day. Indian day/date does notchange at midnight 0:00 hours and it is from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. e.g. Trayodashii08:18. This means Trayodashi ends at 8 hours 18 minutes.The time next to the nakshtra indicates when it is going to end. The same rules for Tithi timingsapply to Nakshatras as well. E.g. Rohinii 09:02. This means Rohini Nakshatra ends at 9 hours,02 minutes. Nakshatra is also known as a Star. This way you can find your child’s birth star.The time for Sun’s samkramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g.Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute.Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occurs based on tropical Sun (without ayanamsha). This isdue to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing theSun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems likethe Sun travels north and south of the equator. This motion of the Sun is called Uttarayana – The Sun ismoving towards North and Dakshinayana the Sun is moving towards South. This motion of the Sunmoving towards the north is called Uttarayana. When it is moving towards the south it is calledDakshinayana. This causes rise to seaons. They are dependent on equinoxes and solstices.There is a <strong>com</strong>mon misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point intime Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precisionof equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if youthink Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will <strong>com</strong>e in June after 9000 years.

All Drika Panchanga makers willuse the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14 th isn’tUttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21 st /22 nd of every year.For more details please visit http://www.<strong>myPanchang</strong>.<strong>com</strong> or write to shastriji@<strong>myPanchang</strong>.<strong>com</strong>.Guru Pushyaamrita Yoga: Specified in calendar.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit andAmritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam. Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit andAmritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Differences in Festival dates between India and USAThe Indian Calendar/Panchangam is used everywhere whereHindu people live. I even see people posting, “ I want pambuPanchangam, but I live in the USA and it is not available”. Thequestion then arises: “Can Indian Panchangam be usedoutside of India?”.People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English datesbased on the Indian calendar. They then think that if an Indiancalendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, saySeptember 2 nd 2010, then it will appear as September 2 ndeverywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hoursbehind India, so some people will think it will also <strong>com</strong>e thenext day in the USA, i.e. September 3 rd 2010. They also arguethat their family priest in India has told them to celebrate onthis particular date and according to him the Indian calendarwill apply to all places in the world. This is a <strong>com</strong>pletely wrongassumption.The English date and day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..)changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) andday does not change at midnight. Hindu days change atSunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise.Sunday will start at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date (or Tithi -- depending on the position of theSun and Moon at any given time) changes as celestial bodiesmove. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is tosay that if Prathama Tithi ends today at 23:02 it does notmean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time.It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (anytime after 24 meansafter midnight but before the next Sunrise).Now what's the Hindu date (Tithi)?It is simple. A Tithi is a lunar day, or the time it takes for thelongitudinal angle between the Sun and the Moon to increaseby 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary induration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. So the maximumdistance between the Sun and the Moon can be 360 degrees.If you divide them by 12 degrees that gives you 30 equalparts. This means that we have 30 dates in the Hindu calendardivided between the bright half (Shukla Paksha, WaxingMoon), and the dark half (Krishna Paksha, Waning Moon).Panchangam contains two types of calculations. One is basedon the local coordinates like longitude and latitude (Sunrise,Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset, etc), and the other is based ongeocentric planetary positions.Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset times are alwayscalculated for each and every place on the Earth. LocalSunrise, Sunsets are used to find the daily Rahukalam,Yamagandam, Gulikai, and Durmuhurtham times.The other set of calculations are calculated from the center ofthe Earth (geocentric). The positions of heavenly bodies arecalculated from the center of the Earth and hence they aregeocentric. The planetary positions are first calculated fromthe center of the Sun (heliocentric) and then using thespherical trigonometry they are converted to the center of theEarth (geocentric). The Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana anddaily planetary positions are based on the positions of the Sunand Moon in the heavens and they are part of theastronomical phenomenon. These are astronomicalphenomenon which happen instantly at the same moment onEarth, and hence the Tithi and Nakshatra will end at the sametime all over the world. We have to, therefore, convert themto the local standard time of the specific country of interest.When an eclipse occurs and is visible all over the world, thetime of occurrence is converted into each country’s local timezone. The planets do not wait for Sunrise or Sunset at theparticular place. They just keep moving, like Earth is movingaround the Sun.These planetary positions of the Sun and the Moon are<strong>com</strong>puted based on the local time (longitude, latitude)converted to the Universal Time. The Tithi end time is alsocalculated in the Universal Time which is then converted tothe local time of the place. The planets are calculated fromthe center of the Earth and their positions at the given timewill be the same all over the world. In the same way,whenever any celestial event occurs we need to convert it toour local time zone. Indian Panchang makers convert this toIndian time. The same say we need to convert it to our timezone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT).After adding the time difference we get the resulting Englishdate and time when they end. Hence, when the calendar ismade for India the date they mention is when that Tithi willend as per the English date in India. If we take the same dateand time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we willhave wrong results.For example:On October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) KrishnaPaksha/ Poornimant Kartik Krishna Paksha Tithi Tritiya ends at16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and Charturthi starts. Thatmeans at 16:00 hours there is Tritiya still prevailing in India.Now on October 17th 2008 in Seattle, WA at the 16:00 hourswe won't have Tritiya at that time. We already have Chaturthistarted. Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed andthe position of Sun and Moon have changed. So what time willTritiya end in Seattle? The time difference is 13 hours 30minutes (with one of our Daylight Saving Time it gives thedifference of 12 hours 30 minutes from IST). So, let's subtractPundit Mahesh ShastrijiPanchang Ganitha and Siddhanta<strong>myPanchang</strong>.<strong>com</strong>, seattlepandit.<strong>com</strong>12 hours 30 minutes from the 16:39:21. That gives us04:09:21 AM on October 17th. So on October 17th after thattime we'll have Chaturthi Tithi and before we have Tritiya. Thesame way if Tithi ends at 8:39 AM on Septemer 12 in India itwill end at 20:09 PM on September <strong>11</strong>th in Seattle. The sameway Western Australia is 8 hours ahead of GMT and hence theChaturthi will end there at 12:09 PM on September 12th. Theplanets do not wait for the appropriate Tithi to arrive on someEnglish date at any location in the world. If it did we wouldnot have any days and nights (if it were to happen thencelestial bodies would remain static in sky). The Earth is roundand it keeps moving, so we have days and nights. It does notwait for Tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goeson. The Sun does not rise instantly at the same time all overthe world. Hence we need to convert the Tithi, Nakshatra,Yoga, and Karana time to local standard time. Now we knowwhat time a given Tithi ends, so now it is time to decidefestival dates for each region.How festivals are determined?The usual rule to observe a festival for a particular day, checkwhich Tithi prevails at that Sunrise. Each festival has differentrules of observance. For example: Ganesh Chaturthi.Sankathara (Sankshathi Chauth) Chaturthi, Janmashtami,Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc... For example GaneshaChaturthi has to be oserved when the Chaturthi Tithi isobserved during the 8th/15th part of the dinmana or the3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the differencebetween local Sunset and Sunrise on the same day. IfChaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take thesecond day. Likewise for the Karwa Chauth and theSankathara Chaturthi the Chaturthi Tithi must be prevailingduring the moonrise time, if it does not prevail then take theday where it prevails during the sunrise. Rules to determineShraddha Tithi are different.For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India itmay or may not exist during moonrise on the same day in adifferent part of the world. It may be very well observed onthe previous day if you are in America or the next day if youare in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries. America isbehind India in terms of time. To arrive at the time in India weneed to subtract the time from Indian time and hencefestivals could arrive a day early in USA but not later. Forexample if a total lunar eclipse is visible in India at 5:00 AM itwill happen on the previous day in the USA.For these reasons Indian Panchangam you buy in India cannotbe used outside of India.
