Message from our Current Chairman of Board of Trustees, Sam Kumar and President of our

Executive committee, Murali Balijepally

Dear Fellow Devotees, With God’s Grace and your generous support we have created history at our Austin Hindu Temple Grounds.

One more time we have all come together to Build this Temple of historic proportion and conducted our

Kumbabishekam on June 2nd, 2013.

It was a historic milestone for the Austin Hindu community to see our main temple inaugurated.

Congratulations to the Austin Hindu Community on achieving this great feat.

This project has been the result of the excellent vision and leadership of our Board of Trustees and several

dedicated volunteers. The Temple seed was sown around year 2000 when a group of leaders gathered to

discuss about the grandiose idea of buying land and building our very own Austin Hindu Temple and Community Center.

Here are key milestone events that happened in the Temple’s history

76 acres of land was procured for our Temple in 2003.

Ganesh Temple and MPRH (Multi Purpose Religious Hall) construction was started in 2006 and the Kumbhabhishekam was done on February 11th 2007

Construction of the Navagraha Temple and Priest Quarters was completed in 2009.

Wildlife exemption and Religious exemption of our land and property from Travis county soon

thereafter

Ganesh Temple was enclosed with Glass windows all around and the ornamentation of the Temple

along with the Vimana was completed. The 2nd Kumbhabhishekam of the Ganesh Temple was

completed in June 2010

The Board of Trustees, Board of directors, The Executive committee and countless other volunteers

worked hard to plan and construct our Shiva Vishnu Temple – 11000 Sq.ft of enclosed space along

with a 5000 sq.ft Courtyard making our Temple Structure, the largest in Texas. The Kumbabishekam event on June 2nd 2013 was a grand success and was well attended by the Devotees.

The Temple currently has conducted several religious festivals since the June inauguration and has captured

the minds and hearts of all the Devotees that have attended the events.

The Temple administration is currently constructing the Sri Shirdi Sai Temple. The foundation is poured, framing for the structure is in place and we are hoping to have the Kumbabishekam this spring.

The Temple Trustees are planning on converting our MPRH Kitchen in to an operating commercial kitchen. Additionally, preparations are underway to start the ornamentation and Indianization of our Main temple

along with the building of the Gopurams. Our Gurukulam program for the children has been doing very well

with over two hundred kids that we are thinking and planning for an Educational classroom wing.

We are pleased to release the 2014 calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. This

calendar is specially prepared for the Austin Texas 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.

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

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.

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

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 time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam 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.

Please contact AHT for more details or if you want to participate

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam 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.

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 time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam 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)

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam 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.

Notes: To find auspicious time one need to avoid inauspicious times like Rahukalam, Yamagandam, Gulikai, Durmuhurtham and Varjyam times. Abhijit Muhurtha and Amritkalam

times are good times. If the times in Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove inauspicious times and use only auspicious

times, after removing inauspicious times from Abhijit muhurtha and Amritkalam 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)

Vaikuntha Ekadasi Putrada Ekadasi

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.

Differences in Festival dates between India and USA Pundit Mahesh Shastriji

Panchang Ganitha and Siddhanta

mypanchang.com, seattlepandit.com

Do you believe that Indian Hindu festivals observance date in the Indian calendar/panchang is

applicable for all location in world? If yes, you are incorrect. Many people contact their parents to find the observance dates for Indian Hindu festivals. The parents consult their local panchangam /calendar to find an observance date for an Indian festival. However, that observance date is only good for observing in India and is not transferrable to other locations. There is a misconception that an Indian Hindu Tithi, Hindu date, begins at midnight and ends at midnight. Some internet sites also write festival explanation which confuse people. For example, the most common falsely is “such and such festival is observed on such and such night counted from purnima or amavasya”. Another example many people say, “Pundit ji, ‘Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the 4th night after purnima’”, or “The Janmasthami is celebrated on the 8th night after purnima”. These are wrong statements. The confusion arises because Indian date, Tithi, is incorrectly considered fixed with 24 hours length and begins at midnight and ends at midnight. The above statements are correctly written in the dharma shastra or agama as “Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the 4th Tithi of Ashwin Krishna paksha or Purnimant Karthik Krishna Paksha when the Tithi exists during the Moon rise”. The same way the rule for Janmasthami is written such as “Janmasthami is to be observed when the Shravana Krishna asthami Tithi (or Purnimant Bhadrapada Krishna Asthami Tithi) exists during the midnight hours.” The assumption may be that midnight means 12:00 hours during the night. That is wrong. This is not the midnight. Why? What is the definition of the midnight? “Mid means middle which is half and the midnight means half of the night”. Do you think the night starts at 6 PM (Which means the Sun always sets at 6 PM)? Do you also think the morning starts at 6 AM (Which also means the Sun always rises at 6 AM)? The answer is no. The Sun will not rise every day at 6AM and will not set every day at 6 PM. If you live in North America or countries close to the North pole or the south pole the Sun will rise as early as 4 AM and set at around 9 PM during summer, during winter the Sun will rise as late as 8:30 to 9 AM and set as early as 3:30 PM. According to the math, noon = (sunset-sunrise)/2 and midnight = (next-day-sunrise – previous-day-sunset)/2 will never be 12 hours during night. Another misconception is people think that days – Sunday, Monday etc change at midnight as per Indian Calendar too. This is also incorrect assumption. The day – Sunday, Monday etc change at sunrise not midnight. Hence for all festival observance dates calculation the day taken is from one Sunrise to another sunrise.

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.

This clearly explains indian date can change at any time. The time mentioned next to Tithi is the ending time of the Tithi. When the one Tithi ends the next one starts right away.

For Example if in India the Amavasya ends at 18:19:56 on Nov 3rd 2013. It will not end in New York on Nov 3rd 2013 at 18:19:56 but it will end in New York at 7:49:56 AM, In California at 4:49:56 AM on Nov 3rd 2013. (We have subtracted the timezone difference. USA is in the east of India hence time zone needs to be subtracted for countries east of India the timezone difference from Indian time needs to be added). Likewise if you have an Indian panchang with you this is how you can calculate Tithi times for your place.

Each festival has a unique rule. These rules are established by great rishis like

Vashistha, Vishwamitra and many others. 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. As explained earlier, 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 to determine festival observance date we will need:

Tithi begin and end times.

Daily local Sunrise and sunset timings.

Daily Moonrise and Moonset timings. Please note that although Tithi begin and end times are calculated using the center of the earth and GMT time the other factor for deciding festival observance dates are the Sun and the Moon rise and set timings. These are always dependent on local latitude, longitude, and the elevation. 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.

Per dharmashastras and agamas mahalakshmi comes to

everyone’s home during pradosha kala – That is sunset + 144 minutes. The Lakshmi puja is done when sthira lagna (fixed rasi) prevails during this time. Fixed rasis will keep Lakshmi in home. They are Vrishabha, Simha, Vrischika, & Kumbha. However during Diwali time in pradosha kala due to earth and sun’s position mostly there is Vrishabha lagna during that time. For example,

In Indian Panchangam on November 3rd 2013 Amavasya ends at 18:19:56.

After subtracting the timezone difference of 5:30 minutes The Amavasya will end in UK at 12:49:56

In New York it will end at 7:49:56 AM on November 3rd. (subtracting 10:30 hours TZ)

In California it will end at 4:49:56 AM on November 3rd 2013 (subtracting 13:30 hours TZ).

Per the above timings we know that the amavasya prevail during the pradosha on November 2nd 2013 (in USA) but not on November 3rd 2013 in USA.

This is no different than a child born in India at 18:19:56 on November 3rd 2013 at that time in New York it will be 7:49:56AM on November 3rd, in Seattle it will be 4:49:56 AM on November 3rd 2013.

If you celebrate diwali on November 3rd in USA as per these calculations then mahalakshmi won't be coming to people's house as the auspicious muhurtha for lakshmi mata was on a day when amavasya Tithi prevails during pradosha kala (sunset + 144 minutes). As per calculations explained before it is proved that amavasya doesn’t prevail during sunset times of November 3rd 2013 in USA. I know personally many temples in the United States observed Diwali on November 3rd 2013. This is completely wrong. Amavasya has ended already before sunrise in most places in the United States. Hence Diwali cannot be celebrated on November 3rd 2013. The same calculations are done for other places, other countries.

If the earth was FLAT then the Sun and the Moon will rise at the same time all over the world, and we’ll not havetime zones and then the dates from Indian calendar from your place can be applied to anywhere in the world. Sonext times when you follow your favorite Indian Calendar outside India tell yourself, “Only if the earth is FLAT this is useful for me”.
