Amavasyant Calendar
ॐ वकरत ड महाकाय कोटिसययसमपरभ निरववघन क र म दव सवयकाययष सवयदा
We are pleased to release the 2013 calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. This
calendar is specially prepared for the Greater Austin area, and it may not be applicable in other parts of the
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 think that
if an Indian calendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, say September 2nd
2010, then it will appear as
September 2nd
everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so some people will
think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3rd
2010. They also argue that their family
priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the Indian calendar
will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earth was flat then you
can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. We won’t have any
timezones and the world will have only one timezone. Surya Siddhanta, Maharishi Vashistha,
Bhaskaracharya taught us to prepare the panchangam based on the longitude, latitude of the place 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 at
midnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday will start
at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date – the Tithi changes depending on the position of
the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if Prathama Tithi ends
today at 23:02 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. 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 lunar
calendar is divided into two groups called Pakshas. The first one is called Krishna Paksha (or dark
fortnight) 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 the Krishna 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 by
the Moon to move 12 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color and
Shukla 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 solar
month 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, West
Bengal, Orrisa, Punjab and Assam.
Nakshatra: The path of the moon around earth is divided into 27 segments or Nakshatras. A nakshatra
changes 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, Poorva Shadha,
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 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 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. 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 Austin area.
How festival dates are determined? The usual rule to observe a festival is to check the Tithi prevailing
at the Sunrise. Each festival has different rules. For example Ganesha Chaturthi has to be oserved when the
Chaturthi Tithi is observed during the 8th/15th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference between
local Sunset and Sunrise. If Chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day.
For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India it may or may not exist during moonrise on the
same day in a different part of the world. If you are in America then it will be observed on previous day or
the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries. For example if a total lunar eclipse is
visible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons Indian
Panchangam 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 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 seaons and dependent on
equinoxes and solstices.
There is a common misconception that Makar 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 Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think
Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makar
Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals 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/22
nd of every year. For more details please visit

Ranga Panchami Phalguna Krishna Paksha
Panchami 17:13 Anuraadha 16:09 Shukra Astha
Shivratri is the night when Lord Shiva is said to have performed the Tandava Nritya or the dance of primordial creation, preservation and destruction. According to the Puranas, during the Samudra Manthan, a pot of poison emerged from the ocean. The gods and the demons were terrified as it could destroy the entire world. When they ran to Shiva for help, he in order to protect the world, drank the deadly poison but held it in his throat instead of swallowing it. Shivratri celebrates this event by which Shiva saved the world.

Notes: To find auspicious times one needs to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam. Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and
Amritkalam. 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.
Sri Satyanarayana Pooja is performed at temple on every Poornima – Evening during weekdays, Morning during weekends
Ganapati Abhishekam is performed at temple on every Sankata-hara chaturthi (morning on weekends & evening during weekdays)

Ganesha Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha. Parvati created Ganesha out of sandalwood paste and breathed life into the figure. She then set him to stand guard at her door while she bathed. However, while she bathed, Lord Shiva returned and as Ganesha didn't know him, he didn't allow him to enter. Lord Shiva became enraged and severed the head of the child and entered his house. After realizing that he had beheaded his own son, Lord Shiva fixed the head of an elephant in place of Ganesha's head.

Notes: To find auspicious times one needs to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam. Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and
Amritkalam. 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.
Sri Satyanarayana Pooja is performed at temple on every Poornima – Evening during weekdays, Morning during weekends
Ganapati Abhishekam is performed at temple on every Sankata-hara chaturthi (morning on weekends & evening during weekdays)
Rudrabhishekam is done on every Krishna-Pradosham.

According to Padma Purana, the female energy of Lord Vishnu slayed demon Muran and protects Devas. This happened on the shukla ekadasi during the sun's journey in the Dhanur rasi. Impressed by the act, Lord Vishnu gives her the boon that those who worship Ekadashi on the day of her victory over Muran would reach Vaikunth.
Arudhra Darshan celebrates the cosmic dance of Lord Shiva, which is represented by the Nataraja form. Arudhra signifies the golden red flame and Shiva performs in the form this red-flamed light.
Differences in Festival dates between India and USA
Pundit Mahesh Shastriji
Panchang Ganitha and Siddhanta
mypanchang.com
The Indian Calendar/Panchangam is used everywhere where Hindu people live. I even see people posting, “ I want pambu Panchangam, but I live in the USA and it is not available”. The question then arises: “Can Indian Panchangam be used outside of India?”. If you think the Earth is flat then you can use your favourite Indian panchangam/calendar outside of USA. But if you agree with Varahamihira and Aryabhatta, and other scientiests that the Earth is round then you will not use your favourite Indian panchang/calendar outside of India. Please read why.
People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They then think that if an Indian calendar says “Janmasthami” on a certain date, say September 2nd 2010, then it will appear as September 2nd everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so some people will think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3rd 2010. They also argue that their family priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the Indian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption.
The English date and day (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday etc..) changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change at midnight. Hindu days change at Sunrise. 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 the Sun and Moon at any given time) changes as celestial bodies move. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if Prathama Tithi ends today at 23:02 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or 28:27 (anytime after 24 means after 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 the longitudinal angle between the Sun and the Moon to increase by 12°. Tithis begin at varying times of day and vary in duration from approximately 19 to 26 hours. So the maximum distance between the Sun and the Moon can be 360 degrees. If you divide them by 12 degrees giving you 30 equal parts. This means that we have 30 dates in the Hindu calendar divided between the bright half (Shukla Paksha, Waxing Moon), and the dark half (Krishna Paksha, Waning Moon).
Panchangam contains two types of calculations. One is based on the local coordinates like longitude and latitude (Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset, etc), and the other is based on geocentric planetary positions. Sunrise, Sunset, Moonrise, Moonset times are always calculated for each and every place on the Earth. Local Sunrise, Sunsets are used to find the daily Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, and Durmuhurtham times.
The other set of calculations are calculated from the center of the Earth (geocentric). The positions of heavenly bodies are calculated from the center of the Earth and hence they are geocentric. The planetary positions are first calculated from the center of the Sun (heliocentric) and then using the spherical trigonometry they are converted to the center of the Earth (geocentric). The Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana and daily planetary positions are based on the positions of the Sun and Moon in the heavens and they are part of the astronomical phenomenon. These are astronomical phenomenon which happensinstantly at the same moment on Earth, and hence the Tithi and Nakshatra will end at the same time all over the world. We have to, therefore, convert them to the local standard time of the specific country of interest. When an eclipse occurs and is visible all over the world, the time of occurrence is converted into each country’s local time zone. The planets do not wait for Sunrise or Sunset at the particular place. They just keep moving, like Earth is moving around the Sun.
These planetary positions of the Sun and the Moon are computed based on the local time (longitude, latitude) converted to the Universal Time. The Tithi end time is also calculated in the Universal Time which is then converted to the local time of the place. The planets are calculated from the center of the Earth and their positions at the given time will be the same all over the world. In the same way, whenever any celestial event occurs we need to convert it to our local time zone. Indian Panchang makers convert this to Indian time. The same say we need to convert it to our time zone for America (PST/PDT, CST/CDT, MST/MDT, EST/EDT). After adding the time difference we get the resulting English date and time when they end. Hence, when the calendar is made for India the date they mention is when that Tithi will end as per the English date in India. If we take the same date and time use it anywhere in the world as it is then we will have wrong results.
For example: On October 17th 2008 the Ashwayuja (Ashwin) Krishna Paksha/ Poornimant Kartik Krishna Paksha Tithi Tritiya ends at 16:39:21 Indian Standard Time, and Charturthi 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. Planets keep on moving.... 13 hours have passed and the position of Sun and Moon have changed. So what time will Tritiya end in Seattle? The time difference is 13 hours 30 minutes (with one of our Daylight 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 Septemer 12 in India it will end at 20:09 PM on September 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 September 12th. The planets do not wait for the appropriate Tithi to arrive on some English date at any location in the world. If it did we would not have any days and nights (if it were to happen then celestial bodies would remain static in sky). The Earth is round and it keeps moving, so we have days and nights. It does not wait for Tithi or festivals. Time never waits for anyone. It goes on. The Sun does not 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, so now it is time to decide festival dates for each region.
How festivals are determined? The usual rule to observe a festival for a particular day, check which Tithi prevails at that Sunrise. Each festival has different rules of observance. 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 8th/15th part of the dinmana or the 3/5th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference between local Sunset and 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 does not prevail then take the day where it prevails during the sunrise. Rules to determine Shraddha Tithi are different.
For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India it may or may not exist during moonrise on the same day in a 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. America is behind India in terms of time. To arrive at the time in India we need to subtract the time from Indian time and hence festivals could arrive a day early in USA but not later. For example if a total lunar eclipse is visible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA.
For these reasons Indian Panchangam you buy in India cannot be used outside of India.
