Calendar Explanation ॐ वक्रत ुंड महाकाय कोटिसूययसमप्रभ टिटवयघ्िुं क रु मे देव सवयकायेष सवयदा॥

वटिष्ठ॥ यटममि ्पके्ष यत्र काले येि दृग्गटितैक्यम।् दृश्यते तेि पके्षि क यायटिथ्याटदटििययम॥्

भामकराचायय॥ यात्राटववाहोत्सवजातकादौ खेिैैः मफ िैरेवफलमफ ित्वम।् मयात्प्रोच्यते तेि िभश्चरािाुं मफ िटक्रया दृग्गटितैक्यकृद्या॥

We are pleased to release the 2012 calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. This

calendar is specially prepared for the Greater Seattle 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 Seattle 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

According to Sri Vishnu PuraNa, this universe is full of many

manifestations of great divine power, which are beyond human

comprehension.

Saktayah sarvabhAvAnAM acIMtya jnAnagOcarA ! yatOtO brahmaNastAstu maMtavyA bhAvaSaktayah !!

It is only with the help of the divine that we can understand something

filled with divine energy. Since the energy of the Supreme or

ParamAtma pervades everything in this universe, the Vedas call this

energy VishNu. Since that Supreme is the ultimate refuge of all creation,

and the universe is charged with that Supreme’ s energy, the Upanishads

refer to that Supreme as NArAyaNa. Goddess Lakshmi, dwelling in Lord

Narayana 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 are

imbued with his grace and splendor. Goddess Lakshmi, therefore, is also

an embodiment of Lord’s splendor or vibhuti. This is why when we see

an attractive glow in a person we refer to it as LakshmikaLa or the aura of

Lakshmi. Lakshmi, the repository of all things auspicious, is believed to

have eight different manifestations.

1. : This signifies that she is the fountain or origin of

all things auspicious.

2. : Material resources are necessary for mankind

to attain any goal. As the presiding deity of wealth, she dispenses

the material resources to us and hence she is called Dhana

Lakshmi.

3. : All living beings need food or sustenance for

survival and medicines to recover from illnesses. The food comes

mainly in the form of various food grains or crops and medicines

in the form of medicinal herbs. That aspect of the Goddess which

blesses us with these is DhAnya Lakshmi.

4. : We need progeny to perpetuate the family

line and to ensure the continuation of human race itself. For

healthy 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 desirable

things, we also need the capacity or ability to keep things in

proper check and control. This is referred to as aiswarya, and the

aspect of the goddess which grants us this quality is called

Aiswarya Lakshmi.

6. : To enjoy all of the divine blessings we need

physical and mental strength as well. Elephants, which are

usually portrayed as worshipping Lakshmi, are renowned for their

strength. By worshipping the goddess as Gaja Lakshmi we offer

our prayers to her to endow us with the necessary physical and

mental strength.

7. : Along with physical and mental strength we also

need valor, the quality which makes a hero. In this form the

goddess blesses us with valor.

8. : In all our endeavors our ultimate desire is

success. As the goddess who can bless us with success in all of

our efforts we worship her as Vijaya Lakshmi.

As one can see, one and only one Goddess, Maha Lakshmi, can

confer all of these eight qualities on us.

Together with all these qualities, we also need the blessings of Narayana

to remove all obstacles to success in all of our endeavors. We seek his

help to keep in check our enemies and those who desire to harm us. The

Lord takes care of them it with his mighty weapon SudarSanaM, which is

held in his right hand.

Mahalakshmi will bless us with eight desirable attributes to success; she

will also ensure that the grace of the Lord will be bestowed on us. Hence

Mahalakshmi is worthy of our devotion and worship. We should also

worship SudarSana Moorthy.
