How to use Chogadia? Calculated from sunrise to sunset. Calculate dinamana (Difference between sunrise and the sunset). Divide by 8 and that will give you duration of each chogadia. Counting from 6 AM to 6 PM is absurd and nonsense, as the Sun doesn’t even rise at 6 AM and sets at 6 PM. When one chogadia ends another starts. Day time Chogadia Duration = (sunset – sunrise) / 8.0 Night time Chogadia duration = (nextday sunrise – todays sunset) / 8.0 In the case of night time chogadia for easy calculation one may add 24 to the next day sunrise for easy culculation. For Example Jan 31st Day Time Chogadia: (17:05-7:38)/8/0 hence duration of each day time chogadia on that day is 1 hour 10 minute. For night time chogadia ((24+7:37)-17:05)/8. This gives length of night time chogadia on Jan 31st 2016 is 1 hours and 49 minutes. If you don’t want to do all the calculation then visit www.mypanchang.com/panchang.php and then select your city. You’ll get panchang and chogadia table with start times.

Good Chogadia are: Shubh, Labh, Amrut. Medium Chogadia is Chal.

CALENDAR EXPLANATION वशिष्ठ॥ यशमिन ्पके्ष यत्र काले येन दृग्गशितैक्यि्। दृश्यते तेन पके्षि कुयााशिथ्याशिशनिायि्॥

Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. THE INDIAN DATE – TITHI: What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours”. This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following: Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin

and end at the same instance all over the world. Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn’t local to one particular country. They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are calculated from the center of the Earth.

The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees.

Each day is 12 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon. Length of English date is fixed – 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration

from approximately 19 to 26 hours. This is because the elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon. Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at midnight. The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for determining longitude

positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the earth). These times are usually as per UTC (Universal Time Coordinated – aka GMT).

Time difference to your country is applied to arrive at Tithi start ending times as per your country. When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts.

FESTIVAL DETERMINATION: Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings – These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude. Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth using universal time and then later converted to local timezone.

Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place’s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be used outside of India. Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang. TIMINGS LISTED IN THE CALENDAR: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours 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 Sankramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. eg. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times. Please refer to the following hour guide to determine when Tithi or Nakshatra end times mentioned in the panchanga. The top row is hours and then the bottom row is what time they get translated to with reference to an English date.

23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 31:xx 11:xx PM

Same date 0:xx AM

next date 1:xx AM next date

2:xx AM next date

3:xx AM next date

4:xx AM next date

5:xx AM next date

6:xx AM next date

7:xx AM next date

Here if the hour number is greater than 12 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then it ends on the next English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next English date. For example tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 19th March 2015 it means it really ends past midnight of 19th March 2015 but before next day sunrise of 20th March. Here it ends at 2:36 AM on 20th March. I know this is little complex but English Dates don’t exactly map to Hindu Day and Date. Hindu day is from one sunrise to another and Hindu Date don’t start at midnight.

UTTARAYANA / DAKSHINAYANA: The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices.

There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makara Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makara Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th isn’t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year. Some people observe uttarayana and daskshinayana based on Nirayana positions of sun (although it’s not as per Drik Siddhanta) and we respect that. The same goes for Rutu. Rutus are always observed based on Tropical position of Sun but some observe based on Lunar month and some on Nirayana Sun. We at mypanchang.com are drika panchanga and Tropical positions for Ayana and Ritu as per Drika Sidddhanta.

Margasira-Pushya Vrishchika - Dhanus

Durmukhi Samvatsara Shaka 1938 North Indian Vikram Samvat 2073 Gujarat Vikram Samvant 2073 Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

Bhagwad Geeta is known as nectar of Veda. Lord Krishna revealed this to Arjuna on Margashira Shukla Ekadashi in the middle of battlefield in kurukshetra. It’s a guide for a mankind to attain moksha and how to behave in day to day life. It preaches about Dharma, Karma, Bhakti, Gnana (Knowledge) and finally how to attain moksha. There are many translations available but the most ancient is by Aadi Shankaracharya known as Shankar Bhashyam. Later many other translations came propounding various Vedanta theories by Ramanujacharya, Madhavacharya, and so on.

Dhanurmasa starts when the nirayana sun enters Dhanush rasi. It is margasira masa as per Tamil Calendar known as Margazhi. This period of one month is great for devotion – Bhakti.

Difference between Festival dates in India and America Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite Panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. Only if the earth is flat we can use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all places at the same time, and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. The same goes for the Moon. Plus we have time differences. Due to the time differences there is another misconception that as USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada and Europe. This is absurd. One needs to learn mathematics to remove the confusion. Let me explain. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and say an event is occurring in India (For example One day International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? If you think next day then it is not a live telecast. It is just a relay. To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM. Which gives 6 hours 30 PM the previous day in USA/Canada. Same rule is applied here. As Tithis, Nakshatras, Yoga and Karana and All Planetary positions happening at the same instance all over the world. After this the way festivals are determined in India the same rules has to be applied. This requires extensive knowledge of Panchangam Agama (Shastras) and use Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana, Day (Vaar) and Local factors like Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset and the festival dates are determines. Hence, sometimes festivals may appear on the same day as India or a day before in the countries west of India. Where as in the countries east of India the festival may appear on the same date as India or a day later.

There is a basic difference between English date and Hindu Date: The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..) changes at the midnight The Hindu date or tithi (the festival falls in to) doesn't change at the midnight.

o The Hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) changes anytime as celestial bodies keep moving.

o The Tithi duration is the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Hence Tithi duration have varies from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours. They can change anytime between one Sunrise to another Sunrise. If prathama tithi ends today at 23:02 it doesn't mean that dwitiya tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (Times greater than 24 means ending after midnight but before next day sunrise).

o When tithi ends past midnight 24 hours are added to the end time to indicate it ends past midnight but before next day sunrise.

Hindu day (Vaar) also doesn't change at the midnight. Hindu day changes at the sunrise. So we have a day from one sunrise to another sunrise.

Panchangam contains two types of calculations: One is based on the local coordinates like longitude and latitude. (The earth is not flat, and it is kinda

round and horizon will vary from place to place on earth. Hence these calculation may vary from the place to place.): Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset

Another is based on geocentric astronomical phenomenon (The planetary positions will be different for every second) like: (The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana and daily planetary positions are based on this set of calculations): Planetary positions (Sun, Moon, etc.), Solar or Lunar Eclipse

The astronomical phenomenon happens instantly at the same moment on the earth and hence thithis, nakshatra will end at the same time / instance all over the world and we have to convert them to the local standard time. When an astronomical phenomina occurs and it's occurs all over the world at the same instance. One has to converts timings into their respective timezone. Printed panchanga give planetary positions of 5:30 IST. They are bascially 0:00 GMT. The planets don't wait for sunrise or sunset at the particular place. They just keep moving, like earth is moving around the Sun. Hence the distance we call it tithi (quotient or the result of the division = (sun - moon)/12.0) can change at any time. So new thithi can change at 6:00 AM, 6:32 AM, or 11:57 PM or any time during the day. There is no fix tithi ending time like English date.

Because planets are calculated from the center of the earth -- Geocentric. Hence, their position at the given time will be same all over the world (After subtracting the time difference). The same way to observe any celestial event occurs we need to convert it to our local time, and also the same way this thithi, nakshatra, yoga and karna positions are same at any given time in the world. So panchang makers convert this to Indian time. The very same say we need to covert it to our time zone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT). After adding the time difference they'll assign to the resulting English date.Hence, when the calendar is made of India the date they mention is when that tithi will end as per the English date in India. If you take the same date and time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we have a wrong result because of the time difference. The time difference between the India and the London is 5 hours 30 minutes, Time difference between Seattle, WA and India is 13 hours 30 minutes. The planets don't remain static during that time. They keep on moving and hence at the same time and date in different parts of the world we will have a new tithi. But if you add and subtract the time difference from the Indian calendar you'll arrive at the time when that tithi will change in your locality too. Too complex? Let me give you one example.

For example: October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) Krishna Paksha / Poornimant Kartik Krishna paksha tithi Tritiya ends at 16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and chturthi starts. That means at 16:00 hours there is tritiya still prevailing in India. Now on October 17th 2008 in Seattle, WA at the 16:00 hours we won't have tritiya at that time. We already have chaturthi started why? a) Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed and the position of sun and moon have changed. So what time Tritiya will end in Seattle? The time difference is 13 hours 30 minutes (with one our day light saving time it gives the difference of 12 hours 30 minutes from IST). So, let's subtract 12 hours 30 minutes from the 16:39:21. That gives us 04:09:21 AM on October 17th. So on October 17th after that time we'll have chaturthi tithi and before we have tritiya. The same way if tithi ends at 8:39 AM on Sept 12 in India it will end at 20:09 PM on Sept 11th in Seattle. The same way Western Australia is 8 hours ahead of GMT and hence the chaturthi will end there at 12:09 PM on Sept 12th. The planets don't wait for appropriate tithi to arrive on some English date at any location in the world. If it really did we won't have any days and nights (If it happens then celestial bodies will remain static in sky). The earth is round and it keeps moving, we have days and nights. It doesn't wait for tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goes on. The sun doesn't rise instantly at the same time all over the world Hence we need to convert the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana time to local standard time. Now we know what time a given tithi ends it's a time to decide festival dates for each region.

How festivals are determined? The usual rule to observe festival is whenever that tithi prevails at the sunrise time. But for certain festivals rules change, for example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara (Sankshathi chauth) chaturthi, Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc... For example Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved when the chaturthi tithi is observed during the 3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference of local sunset and the sunrise on the same day. If chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day. Likewise for the karwa chauth and the sankathara chaturthi the chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the moonrise time, if it doesn't prevail then take the day where it prevails during the sunrise. So for example if one thithi is observed at the moonrise time in india it may or may not be observed during the moonrise time on the same day in the different part of the world. It may be very well observed on the previous day if you are in America or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries, depending on the local events like sunrise, moonrise, and time difference. Sometime it may very well could be observed on the same day as the date mentioned in India. Now we have different sunrise times, different sunset, moonrise timings and tithi timings makes need for a separate panchangam for different place. Now if panchang makers in India tries to keep each and every place in mind then they will be creating panchanga for every city, town in the world. Who'll buy it? Printing costs etc... So they just make panchang for the one of their city in India. Now given that example even the IST remains same for Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to West Bengal the festival dates could be very well different in certain city. For example for sankathara chaturthi moon rise time is important, same thing for karwa chauth. Now let's take an example: Moonrise in New Delhi on a given date is at 19:36 and in West Bengal, Kolkatta is at 19:25 PM. Now tritiya ends at 19:32 PM IST. So Kolkatta will celebrate karwa chauth/sankathara chaturthi on the next day where as people in New Delhi will celebrate on the same day.

Rigveda’s Devi Sukta praises goddess as ‘I am all pervading atman filling all quarters of universe’, along with she being the creator. Even Taoism says, “The Spirit never dies. It is the Mysterious Female. The doorway of the Mysterious Female, Is the base from which Heaven and Earth sprang”. Hence making worship of Mother, Creator, Source, AdhyaShakti, Jagat-Janani more important during Navaratri.

Bhishma Tarpana needs to be done on Bhishma Asthami in order to bless with a child.

Two systems in determining how a hindu month starts: A) Purnimant: Months ends on Purnima and begin with Krishna paksha to Shukla paksha. Popular in North India. Mainly hindi speaking belt. Also known as Purnimant System. B) Amavasyant: Months end on Amavasya. Months begin from Shukla paksha ends on Amavasya. Popular in Gujarat, Maharastra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. Names of Shukla paksha month remains same under both months. As per Purnimant System, a month starts 15 days earlier than its Amavasyant Counter Part. For example. Shravana Masa will begin on Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha in Purnimant Calendar. This means when Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha is going on at the same time North India Will celebrate Shravana Krishna Paksha followed by Shravana Shukla Paksha which will be same for both Calendric systems.

Bhadrapada Simha – Kanya



Mahalaya or Shraddha Parva is period to remember departed ancestors. Their Shraddham is done on their tithi when they departed from their biological body and merged into infinite. Dharmashastras say ‘Pita guru Pita deva pita dharma sanatanaH’. Ancestor’s blessings are important for success in our lives. If unble to do Shraddha one can visit temple and donate in memory of departed ancestors.

Mahalaya or Shraddha Parva is period to remember departed ancestors. Their Shraddham is done on their tithi when they departed from their biological body and merged into infinite. Dharmashastras say ‘Pita guru Pita deva pita dharma sanatanaH’. Ancestor’s blessings are important for success in our lives. If unble to do Shraddha one can visit temple and donate in memory of departed ancestors.

Two systems in determining how a hindu month starts: A) Purnimant: Months ends on Purnima and begin with Krishna paksha to Shukla paksha. Popular in North India. Mainly hindi speaking belt. Also known as Purnimant System. B) Amavasyant: Months end on Amavasya. Months begin from Shukla paksha ends on Amavasya. Popular in Gujarat, Maharastra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh. Names of Shukla paksha month remains same under both months. As per Purnimant System, a month starts 15 days earlier than its Amavasyant Counter Part. For example. Shravana Masa will begin on Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha in Purnimant Calendar. This means when Amavasyant Ashadha Krishna Paksha is going on at the same time North India Will celebrate Shravana Krishna Paksha followed by Shravana Shukla Paksha which will be same for both Calendric systems.

Rigveda’s Devi Sukta praises goddess as ‘I am all pervading atman filling all quarters of universe’, along with she being the creator. Even Taoism says, “The Spirit never dies. It is the Mysterious Female. The doorway of the Mysterious Female, Is the base from which Heaven and Earth sprang”. Hence making worship of Mother, Creator, Source, AdhyaShakti, Jagat-Janani more important during Navaratri.

Difference between Festival dates in India and America Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite Panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian Panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. Only if the earth is flat we can use Indian calendar everywhere in the world. If the earth is flat then Sun & Moon will rise all places at the same time, and no need of time zones and hence Indian Panchangam can be used everywhere in the world but the trouble is the earth is round and the Sun does not rise at the same time, or set at the same time all over the world. The same goes for the Moon. Plus we have time differences. Due to the time differences there is another misconception that as USA/Canada and Europe is behind in time then Festival will come a day later in USA/Canada and Europe. This is absurd. One needs to learn mathematics to remove the confusion. Let me explain. If Seattle/Vancouver/California is 13 hours 30 minutes behind Indian Standard Time and say an event is occurring in India (For example One day International Cricket match at 8 AM in India then will it be the previous day in USA/Canada or the next day? If you think next day then it is not a live telecast. It is just a relay. To arrive the time you’ll subtract 13 hours 30 minutes from 8 AM. Which gives 6 hours 30 PM the previous day in USA/Canada. Same rule is applied here. As Tithis, Nakshatras, Yoga and Karana and All Planetary positions happening at the same instance all over the world. After this the way festivals are determined in India the same rules has to be applied. This requires extensive knowledge of Panchangam Agama (Shastras) and use Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana, Day (Vaar) and Local factors like Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset and the festival dates are determines. Hence, sometimes festivals may appear on the same day as India or a day before in the countries west of India. Where as in the countries east of India the festival may appear on the same date as India or a day later.

There is a basic difference between English date and Hindu Date: The English date and the day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..) changes at the midnight The Hindu date or tithi (the festival falls in to) doesn't change at the midnight.

o The Hindu date (tithi -- depends on the positions of sun and the moon at any given time) changes anytime as celestial bodies keep moving.

o The Tithi duration is the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the moon and the sun to increase by 12°. Hence Tithi duration have varies from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours. They can change anytime between one Sunrise to another Sunrise. If prathama tithi ends today at 23:02 it doesn't mean that dwitiya tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (Times greater than 24 means ending after midnight but before next day sunrise).

o When tithi ends past midnight 24 hours are added to the end time to indicate it ends past midnight but before next day sunrise.

Hindu day (Vaar) also doesn't change at the midnight. Hindu day changes at the sunrise. So we have a day from one sunrise to another sunrise.

Panchangam contains two types of calculations: One is based on the local coordinates like longitude and latitude. (The earth is not flat, and it is kinda

round and horizon will vary from place to place on earth. Hence these calculation may vary from the place to place.): Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset

Another is based on geocentric astronomical phenomenon (The planetary positions will be different for every second) like: (The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana and daily planetary positions are based on this set of calculations): Planetary positions (Sun, Moon, etc.), Solar or Lunar Eclipse

The astronomical phenomenon happens instantly at the same moment on the earth and hence thithis, nakshatra will end at the same time / instance all over the world and we have to convert them to the local standard time. When an astronomical phenomina occurs and it's occurs all over the world at the same instance. One has to converts timings into their respective timezone. Printed panchanga give planetary positions of 5:30 IST. They are bascially 0:00 GMT. The planets don't wait for sunrise or sunset at the particular place. They just keep moving, like earth is moving around the Sun. Hence the distance we call it tithi (quotient or the result of the division = (sun - moon)/12.0) can change at any time. So new thithi can change at 6:00 AM, 6:32 AM, or 11:57 PM or any time during the day. There is no fix tithi ending time like English date.

Because planets are calculated from the center of the earth -- Geocentric. Hence, their position at the given time will be same all over the world (After subtracting the time difference). The same way to observe any celestial event occurs we need to convert it to our local time, and also the same way this thithi, nakshatra, yoga and karna positions are same at any given time in the world. So panchang makers convert this to Indian time. The very same say we need to covert it to our time zone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT). After adding the time difference they'll assign to the resulting English date.Hence, when the calendar is made of India the date they mention is when that tithi will end as per the English date in India. If you take the same date and time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we have a wrong result because of the time difference. The time difference between the India and the London is 5 hours 30 minutes, Time difference between Seattle, WA and India is 13 hours 30 minutes. The planets don't remain static during that time. They keep on moving and hence at the same time and date in different parts of the world we will have a new tithi. But if you add and subtract the time difference from the Indian calendar you'll arrive at the time when that tithi will change in your locality too. Too complex? Let me give you one example.

For example: October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) Krishna Paksha / Poornimant Kartik Krishna paksha tithi Tritiya ends at 16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and chturthi starts. That means at 16:00 hours there is tritiya still prevailing in India. Now on October 17th 2008 in Seattle, WA at the 16:00 hours we won't have tritiya at that time. We already have chaturthi started why? a) Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed and the position of sun and moon have changed. So what time Tritiya will end in Seattle? The time difference is 13 hours 30 minutes (with one our day light saving time it gives the difference of 12 hours 30 minutes from IST). So, let's subtract 12 hours 30 minutes from the 16:39:21. That gives us 04:09:21 AM on October 17th. So on October 17th after that time we'll have chaturthi tithi and before we have tritiya. The same way if tithi ends at 8:39 AM on Sept 12 in India it will end at 20:09 PM on Sept 11th in Seattle. The same way Western Australia is 8 hours ahead of GMT and hence the chaturthi will end there at 12:09 PM on Sept 12th. The planets don't wait for appropriate tithi to arrive on some English date at any location in the world. If it really did we won't have any days and nights (If it happens then celestial bodies will remain static in sky). The earth is round and it keeps moving, we have days and nights. It doesn't wait for tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goes on. The sun doesn't rise instantly at the same time all over the world Hence we need to convert the tithi, nakshatra, yoga, and karana time to local standard time. Now we know what time a given tithi ends it's a time to decide festival dates for each region.

How festivals are determined? The usual rule to observe festival is whenever that tithi prevails at the sunrise time. But for certain festivals rules change, for example: Ganesh Chaturthi. Sankathara (Sankshathi chauth) chaturthi, Janmashtami, Mahashivaratri, Karwa Chauth, etc... For example Ganesha chaturthi has to be oserved when the chaturthi tithi is observed during the 3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference of local sunset and the sunrise on the same day. If chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day. Likewise for the karwa chauth and the sankathara chaturthi the chaturthi tithi must be prevailing during the moonrise time, if it doesn't prevail then take the day where it prevails during the sunrise. So for example if one thithi is observed at the moonrise time in india it may or may not be observed during the moonrise time on the same day in the different part of the world. It may be very well observed on the previous day if you are in America or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries, depending on the local events like sunrise, moonrise, and time difference. Sometime it may very well could be observed on the same day as the date mentioned in India. Now we have different sunrise times, different sunset, moonrise timings and tithi timings makes need for a separate panchangam for different place. Now if panchang makers in India tries to keep each and every place in mind then they will be creating panchanga for every city, town in the world. Who'll buy it? Printing costs etc... So they just make panchang for the one of their city in India. Now given that example even the IST remains same for Kashmir to Kanyakumari and from Kutch to West Bengal the festival dates could be very well different in certain city. For example for sankathara chaturthi moon rise time is important, same thing for karwa chauth. Now let's take an example: Moonrise in New Delhi on a given date is at 19:36 and in West Bengal, Kolkatta is at 19:25 PM. Now tritiya ends at 19:32 PM IST. So Kolkatta will celebrate karwa chauth/sankathara chaturthi on the next day where as people in New Delhi will celebrate on the same day.


CALENDAR EXPLANATION वशिष्ठ॥ यशमिन ्पके्ष यत्र काले येन दृग्गशितैक्यि्। दृश्यते तेन पके्षि कुयााशिथ्याशिशनिायि्॥

Biggest misconception is “Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar / panchang is applicable for all location in world”. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. Some use their favorite panchangam from India to find an observance date for an Indian festival. In reality observance dates from Indian panchangam is valid only in India and is not transferrable to other locations. THE INDIAN DATE – TITHI: What is Indian date – Tithi? Why it is different from an English date? Why it is not exactly 24 hours? The Indian date or Tithi is “A lunar day, or the time it takes for the longitudinal angle between the Moon and the Sun to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to approximately 26 hours”. This definition clearly says an Indian Tithi is based on the following: Daily motions and celestial longitude positions of the Sun and the Moon. Hence it is a celestial event and they begin

and end at the same instance all over the world. Because longitudes of the Sun and the Moon isn’t local to one particular country. They happen at the same instance. Longitudes of the Sun and the Moon are calculated from the center of the Earth.

The distance between them is measured in terms of degrees of longitudes and maximum degrees in a circle or ellipse is 360 degrees.

Each day is 12 degree distance between the Sun and the Moon. Length of English date is fixed – 24 hours whereas Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration

from approximately 19 to 26 hours. This is because the elliptical orbit of the earth and the Moon. Tithis can start and end anytime unlike English date that starts and end at midnight. The start and end times of Tithis are calculated using astronomical formula (for determining longitude

positions of the Sun and the Moon from the center of the earth). These times are usually as per UTC (Universal Time Coordinated – aka GMT).

Time difference to your country is applied to arrive at Tithi start ending times as per your country. When one Tithi ends the next Tithi starts.

FESTIVAL DETERMINATION: Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are written in Sanskrit as a part of dharmashastra or agama. For example one of the rule for the Karwa Chauth is: “The Karwa Chauth celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. Another rule for Ganesh Chaturthi says: “The Ganesh Chaturthi is observed when the Bhadrapada Shukla Chaturthi Tithi exists during the madhyahana (noon) time”. Likewise different rules exist for each festival. The noon, the midnight and other parts of the day cannot be calculated as per fixed clock time. These are based on local sunrise and local sunset. Hence, a festival observance date calculations requires Tithi begin and end times, Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings, Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings – These are always dependent on longitude, latitude, and altitude. Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth using universal time and then later converted to local timezone.

Hence the festival dates you see in Indian calendar prepared in India from your local place is calculated based on your local place’s longitude, latitude. Hence it cannot be used outside of India. Panchangkartas (people who make panchangas) interpret these rules on the panchangas they have prepared using the astronomical formulae. Your pundit who performs puja at your home/temple may or may not know these lengthy rules and/or astronomical formulae, or some websites that show day to day panchang. TIMINGS LISTED IN THE CALENDAR: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours 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 Sankramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. eg. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times. Please refer to the following hour guide to determine when Tithi or Nakshatra end times mentioned in the panchanga. The top row is hours and then the bottom row is what time they get translated to with reference to an English date.

23:xx 24:xx 25:xx 26:xx 27:xx 28:xx 29:xx 30:xx 31:xx 11:xx PM

Same date 0:xx AM

next date 1:xx AM next date

2:xx AM next date

3:xx AM next date

4:xx AM next date

5:xx AM next date

6:xx AM next date

7:xx AM next date

Here if the hour number is greater than 12 it means PM. When the hour number is greater than 23 then it ends on the next English date before sunrise, that means subtract 24 hours from hour to get exact time and take next English date. For example tithi Amavasya ends at 26:36 on 19th March 2015 it means it really ends past midnight of 19th March 2015 but before next day sunrise of 20th March. Here it ends at 2:36 AM on 20th March. I know this is little complex but English Dates don’t exactly map to Hindu Day and Date. Hindu day is from one sunrise to another and Hindu Date don’t start at midnight.

UTTARAYANA / DAKSHINAYANA: The season occur based on earth’s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth’s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seasons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices.

There is a common misconception that Makara Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makara Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makara Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makara Samkranti still holds importance in our Rutuals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14th isn’t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year. Some people observe uttarayana and daskshinayana based on Nirayana positions of sun (although it’s not as per Drik Siddhanta) and we respect that. The same goes for Rutu. Rutus are always observed based on Tropical position of Sun but some observe based on Lunar month and some on Nirayana Sun. We at mypanchang.com are drika panchanga and Tropical positions for Ayana and Ritu as per Drika Sidddhanta.

Margasira-Pushya Vrishchika - Dhanus


Bhagwad Geeta is known as nectar of Veda. Lord Krishna revealed this to Arjuna on Margashira Shukla Ekadashi in the middle of battlefield in kurukshetra. It’s a guide for a mankind to attain moksha and how to behave in day to day life. It preaches about Dharma, Karma, Bhakti, Gnana (Knowledge) and finally how to attain moksha. There are many translations available but the most ancient is by Aadi Shankaracharya known as Shankar Bhashyam. Later many other translations came propounding various Vedanta theories by Ramanujacharya, Madhavacharya, and so on.

Dhanurmasa starts when the nirayana sun enters Dhanush rasi. It is margasira masa as per Tamil Calendar known as Margazhi. This period of one month is great for devotion – Bhakti.

How to use Chogadia? Calculated from sunrise to sunset. Calculate dinamana (Difference between sunrise and the sunset). Divide by 8 and that will give you duration of each chogadia. Counting from 6 AM to 6 PM is absurd and nonsense, as the Sun doesn’t even rise at 6 AM and sets at 6 PM. When one chogadia ends another starts. Day time Chogadia Duration = (sunset – sunrise) / 8.0 Night time Chogadia duration = (nextday sunrise – todays sunset) / 8.0 In the case of night time chogadia for easy calculation one may add 24 to the next day sunrise for easy culculation. For Example Jan 31st Day Time Chogadia: (17:05-7:38)/8/0 hence duration of each day time chogadia on that day is 1 hour 10 minute. For night time chogadia ((24+7:37)-17:05)/8. This gives length of night time chogadia on Jan 31st 2016 is 1 hours and 49 minutes. If you don’t want to do all the calculation then visit www.mypanchang.com/panchang.php and then select your city. You’ll get panchang and chogadia table with start times.

Good Chogadia are: Shubh, Labh, Amrut. Medium Chogadia is Chal.
