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.People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They thinkthat if an Indian calendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, say September 2 nd 2010, then it willappear as September 2 nd everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so somepeople will think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3 rd 2010. They also argue thattheir family priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him theIndian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earthwas flat then you can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. Wewon’t have any timezones and the world will have only one timezone. Surya Siddhanta, MaharishiVashistha, Bhaskaracharya taught us to prepare the panchangam based on the longitude, latitude of theplace you live for these reasons you cannot bring a calendar from India and use abroad.The English date and changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change atmidnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday willstart at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date – the Tithi changes depending on theposition of the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that ifPrathama Tithi ends today at 23:02 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the sametime. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or later.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) or wanning moon. The second is called Shukla Paksha (or bright fortnight) or waxing moon.Each Paksha is divided into 15 Tithis. The first 14 Tithis are the Sanskrit numbers from 1 to 14(Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The 15th Tithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima (full Moon) & the 15th of theKrishna Paksha is Amavasya (Moon is not visible as it is closest to the Sun).Lunar Month: A lunar month consists of 30 Tithis and each Tithi then corresponds to the time taken bythe Moon to move 12 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color andShukla Paksha Tithis are mentioned in the red color. Names of lunar months are Chaitra, Vaishakh,Jyestha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwayuja, Kartika, Margasira, Pushya, Maha, and Phalguna.Solar Month: A solar month begins when the Sun leaves one rasi and moves into the next. The solarmonth names are based on 12 signs, they are Mesha, Vrishbha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Tula,Vrischika, Dhanush, Makara, Kumbha, and Mina. This system is widely used in Tamilnadu, Kerala, WestBengal, Orrisa, Punjab and Assam.Nakshatra: The path of the moon around earth is divided into 27 segments or Nakshatras. A nakshatrachanges when the moon leaves one of these 27 segments and enters the next. Nakshatras are in italics.They are Ashwini, Bharani, Kritika, Rohini, Mrisgashirsh, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha,Poorva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyestha, Moola, PoorvaShadha, Uttara Shadha, Shravan, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Poorva Bhadra, U.ttara Bhadra and Revati.Timings listed in the Calendar: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi orNakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and endswith the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnightbut before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day.This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun’s samkramana is when Sun willenter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36minute. All other times are the ending times.Rahukalam / Sunrise / Sunset Table: This calendar has rahukalam, sunrise & sunset table as well.These are calculated for Greater Seattle area.How festival dates are determined? The usual rule to observe a festival is to check the Tithiprevailing at the Sunrise. Each festival has different rules. For example Ganesha Chaturthi has to beCalendar Explanationoserved when the Chaturthi Tithi is observed during the 8th/15th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is thedifference between local Sunset and Sunrise. If Chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take thesecond day.For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India it may or may not exist during moonrise on thesame day in a different part of the world. If you are in America then it will be observed on previous day orthe next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries. For example if a total lunar eclipse isvisible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons IndianPanchangam you bring from India cannot be used outside of India.Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is dueto Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sunwe get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like theSun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. TheDakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seaons and dependent onequinoxes and solstices.There is a common 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 come in June after 9000 years. HoweverMakar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. 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.

According to Sri Vishnu PuraNa, this universe is full of manymanifestations of great divine power, which are beyond humancomprehension.Saktayah sarvabhAvAnAM acIMtya jnAnagOcarA !yatOtO brahmaNastAstu maMtavyA bhAvaSaktayah !!It is only with the help of the divine that we can understand somethingfilled with divine energy. Since the energy of the Supreme orParamAtma pervades everything in this universe, the Vedas call thisenergy VishNu. Since that Supreme is the ultimate refuge of all creation,and the universe is charged with that Supreme’ s energy, the Upanishadsrefer to that Supreme as NArAyaNa. Goddess Lakshmi, dwelling in LordNarayana and inseparable from Him, personifies all that is auspicious.The Lord himself has declared in the Gita that all things beautiful,auspicious, or mighty in the creation become so only because they areimbued with his grace and splendor. Goddess Lakshmi, therefore, is alsoan embodiment of Lord’s splendor or vibhuti. This is why when we seean attractive glow in a person we refer to it as LakshmikaLa or the aura ofLakshmi. Lakshmi, the repository of all things auspicious, is believed tohave eight different manifestations.1. : This signifies that she is the fountain or origin ofall things auspicious.2. : Material resources are necessary for mankindto attain any goal. As the presiding deity of wealth, she dispensesthe material resources to us and hence she is called DhanaLakshmi.3. : All living beings need food or sustenance forsurvival and medicines to recover from illnesses. The food comesmainly in the form of various food grains or crops and medicinesin the form of medicinal herbs. That aspect of the Goddess whichblesses us with these is DhAnya Lakshmi.4. : We need progeny to perpetuate the familyline and to ensure the continuation of human race itself. Forhealthy and good progeny we need the grace of the Goddess.SaMtAna Lakshmi is this aspect of the Goddess.5. : Although we are blessed with all desirablethings, we also need the capacity or ability to keep things inproper check and control. This is referred to as aiswarya, and theaspect of the goddess which grants us this quality is calledAiswarya Lakshmi.6. : To enjoy all of the divine blessings we needphysical and mental strength as well. Elephants, which areusually portrayed as worshipping Lakshmi, are renowned for theirstrength. By worshipping the goddess as Gaja Lakshmi we offerour prayers to her to endow us with the necessary physical andmental strength.7. : Along with physical and mental strength we alsoneed valor, the quality which makes a hero. In this form thegoddess blesses us with valor.8. : In all our endeavors our ultimate desire issuccess. As the goddess who can bless us with success in all ofour efforts we worship her as Vijaya Lakshmi.As one can see, one and only one Goddess, Maha Lakshmi, canconfer all of these eight qualities on us.Together with all these qualities, we also need the blessings of Narayanato remove all obstacles to success in all of our endeavors. We seek hishelp to keep in check our enemies and those who desire to harm us. TheLord takes care of them it with his mighty weapon SudarSanaM, which isheld in his right hand.Mahalakshmi will bless us with eight desirable attributes to success; shewill also ensure that the grace of the Lord will be bestowed on us. HenceMahalakshmi is worthy of our devotion and worship. We should alsoworship SudarSana Moorthy.dhanaM dhAnyaM saMtatiscAsvairyaM bala vikramE !vijayaMca sadAlakshmI rashTAbhirmoortibhirdiSEt !!
