Calendar Explanation



We are pleased to release the 2012 calendar based on Hindu dharma shastra and drika siddhanta. This
calendar is specially prepared for the Greensboro, NC, 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 2 nd 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 3 rd 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 wont 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.

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 earths position around the Sun. This is due to
Earths 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 14 th isnt Uttarayana.
Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21st/22nd of every year. For more details please visit

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 Suns 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 Ganesh 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

God. The goal of human life is to realize God. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Shivaratri 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. Shivaratri
celebrates this event by which Shiva saved the world.

The soul loves to meditate, for in contact with the Spirit lies its
greatest joy. If, then you experience mental resistance during
meditation, remember that reluctance to meditate comes from the
ego; it doesn't belong to the soul. Paramahansa Yogananda

Hari Shayani Ekadashi is the day when Lord Hari or Vishnu retires to Ksheer Sagar
(Ocean of Milk), rests there till four months and comes back to Vaikunth Vas on
Shukla Paksha Ekadashi in Kartika Month. The Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Kartika
Month is called as Prabodhani Ekadashi. The period from Hari Shayani Ekadashi to
Prabhodhani Ekadashi is called as Chaturmas (Four Months). As Lord Vishnu, the
preserver of life rests in Ksheer Sagar so no pious and auspicious activities like
marriage etc. are carried out in Chaturmas.

of Kerala, India. The festival commemorates the
Vamana avatar of Vishnu and the subsequent
homecoming of the legendary Emperor Baliraja. It
celebrates the Asura King Baliraja's annual visit from
Patala. Onam is unique since Baliraja has been
revered by the people of Kerala since prehistory.

Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh. Parvati created

Ganesh 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 Ganesh 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 Ganesh's head.

According to Panchanga Agamas (shastras) when

there is a kshaya of Ashwin Shukla Paksha Pratipada
then Navaratri should be performed on the day when
Pratipada exists but kalasha sthapana (ghata
sthapana) should be performed after amavasya is
over. Hence as per Boston timezone the Navaratri
th
should be celebrated on Oct 15 but ghata should be
placed after 8:02 AM after amavasya is over.

Diwali is the day when King Rama's coronation was

celebrated in Ayodhya after his war with Ravana, the demon
king of Lanka. By order of the royal families of Ayodhya and
Mithila, the kingdom of which Sita was princess, the cities
and far-flung boundaries of these kingdoms were lit up with
rows of lamps, glittering on dark nights to welcome home
the divine king Rama and his queen Sita after 14 years of
exile.

Whatever is done lovingly, with righteous purity and with peace of

mind, is a good action. Everything which is done with the stain of
desire and with agitation filling the mind is classified as a bad action.

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.
