Panchaanga

PANCHANGA

The word Panchanga is derived from two words PANCH & ANGA.

Pancha means five and Anga means limbs.

The five limbs are 1) Tithi 2) Vaara 3) Nakshatra 4) Yoga and 5) Karana.

The study of these five items is very much essential for ascertaining an auspicious moment for starting any important work. This is called the Muhurta. The book indicating these five limbs is called PANCHANGA.

TITHI: 

A lunar month will have 15 tithis and starts from the end of one Amavasya (New Moon day) till the next Amavasya. The 15 tithis are as follows.

SUKLA PAKSHA (Bright half)          KRISHNA PAKSHA (Dark half)

1. Pratipada                               1. Pratipada

2. Dwitiya                                  2. Dwitiya

3. Triteeya                                 3. Triteeya

4. Chaturdi/Chavithi                     4. Chaturdi/Chavithi

5. Panchami                               5. Panchami

6. Shashti                                  6. Shashti

7. Saptami                                 7. Saptami

8. Ashtami                                 8. Ashtami

9. Navami                                  9. Navami

10. Dasami                                 10. Dasami

11. Ekadasi                                        11. Ekadasi

12. Dwadasi                               12. Dwadasi

13. Trayodasi                              13. Trayodasi

14. Chaturdasi                            14. Chaturdasi

15. Poornima                              15. Amavasya

On the day of amavasya the longitude of Moon and Sun are equal. The increase of the the difference of their longitude gives rise to Tithi. For every 12 degrees of difference of longitude of Moon and longitude of Sun one tithi changes. On the day of Poornima the difference between the longitudes of Moon and Sun will be 180 degrees. The mathematical formula for deriving the tithi is as follows.

(long. Of Moon – long. Of Sun ) / 12    = Q

Q represents the tithi. Thus the tithi is having an evidence in the Zodiac where as the Date is not having any evidence. 

VAARA (DAY):

As per Hindu system there are seven days. They are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.  A day is reckoned from one Sun rise to next Sun rise. Each day is having 24 Horas. Each Hora is having a lord. The order of the horas is as follows.

Sani, Guru, Kuja, Ravi, Shukra, Budha, Chandra.

The day is named after the Lord of Hora which is running at the time of Sun rise. Suppose the hora running at the time of Sun rise is Moon hora, the day is named as Monday.  Hence on Monday the hora at the time of Sun rise is Moon hora and again the 22^nd hora will be Moon hora. The 23^rd hora will be Sani hora, 24^th hora will be Guru hora and the 25^th hora, i.e., the first hora of the next day will be Kuja hora. Hence the next day will be Tuesday.

NAKSHATRA: There are 27 nakshatras. They are

Aswini             Makha                     Moola

Bharani            Purava Phalguni        Purvashadha  

Krittika            Uttara Phalguni         Uttarashadha

Rohini              Hasta                      Sravanam

Mrigasira          Chitra                      Dhanishta

Arudra             Swati                       Satabhisham

Punarvasu        Visakha                   Purvabhadra

Pushyami         Anuradha                 Uttarabhadra

Aslesha           Jyeshta                    Revati

Each Nakshatra is further divided into 4 Padas. The extent of each Nakshatra is 13 degrees 20 minutes and the extent of each Nakshatra Pada is 3 degrees 20 minutes.

The Nakshatra on which a particular planet is transiting can be known. We are particular about the Nakshatra on which Moon is transiting on the day of birth or any day, as the day is said to be in that Nakshatra. The mathematical formula for knowing the nakshatra is as follows.

Longitude of Moon / 13⁰ 20’  = Q

Q represents the Nakshatra.

YOGA: There are 27 yogas. They are

1.    Vishkumbha    10. Ganda          19. Parigha

2.    Preeti            11. Vruddhi        20. Shiva

3.    Aayushman    12. Dhruva         21. Siddha

4.    Sawbhagya     13. Vyaaghata    22. Saadhya

5.    Sobhana         14. Harshana      23. Shubha

6.    Atiganda                15. Vajra            24. Shukla

7.    Sukarma 16. Siddhi          25. Brahma

8.    Dhruti            17. Vyateepatha 26. Indra

9.    Shoola           18. Vareeyan      27. Vaidhruti

The extent of each Yoga is 13⁰ 20’. Yoga means combination. The Yoga is formed by the combination of longitudes of Sun and Moon. The mathematical formula for arriving at the Yoga is as follows.

(Long of Sun + Long of Moon) / 13⁰ 20’  = Q

Q represents the Yoga.

KARANA:

Karana is half of tithi. Hence the extent of each Karana is 6 degrees. There are 11 karanas. They are

1.    Bava                     7. Vishti

2.    Baalava                 8. Shakuni

3.    Kowlava                 9. Chatushpada

4.    Taitula                   10. Naaga

5.    Garaja                   11. Kimstughna

6.    Vanija

From Bava to Vishti, the Karanas are called Chara Karanas. From Shakuni to Kimstughna, the karanas are called Sthira karanas. Hence there are 7 Chara karanas and 4 Sthira karanas. The mathematical formula for arriving at the Karana on a particular day is as follows.

(Long of Moon – Long of Sun)/ 6    = Q

Q represents Karana.

Differences in Panchangas: There are different methods of calculations in writing Panchangas. As a result of this there is lack of consistency in panchangas. To solve this problem, Government of India formed a committee called “Calendar Reform committee” in 1952 and as per their advice a centre called “Positional Astronomy Centre” was formed in Calcutta. This centre is publishing Panchanga in different Indian regional languages, taking 22^nd March 285 as ZERO AYANAMSA YEAR. The calculations of these Panchangas are based on DRUK SIDDHANTAM.

The Panchanga in English is called Ephemeris. In this ephemeris, the longitudes of planets on different date are given. All the astronomical particulars for casting of horoscope are given. Rafel, Krishnamurty, Pandit Gangadhar Prasad, Lahari ephemeris are some of the main ephemeris books. The Lahari ephemeris mostly accepted one.

The Panchanga is called Almanac. Like this there is lot of information given in the Panchanga which is very much useful for an individual in day to day life. Hence Panchanga is called a torch light in hand, “KARA DEEPIKA”.

PanchAnga Yogas

As per a member request, Today i have to post details of the Combination of certain yogas, namely Amirtha, Siddha, Marana Yogas as complied in many Panchanga / Almanac.  These yogas are taken into account while fixing an Auspicious Muhurtha.  These yogas contribute much to the auspicious making of an event by the Kartha, and fructifies the event or muhurtha.  The malevolance of the planet or Thithi is reduced, when an auspicious yoga is fixed for that Muhurtha.
Combination of certain thithi with vAra with NatcharAs and planetary elements forms Yogas Subha, Amirtha, Siddha, Amirtha-sidhathi yogas.  There are five categories of thithi :-

Nanda  : Pratipad,  Shasthi, Ekadasi
Bhadra : Dvitiya,   Saptami, Dvadasi
Jaya   : Tritiya,   Astami,  Trayodasi
Rikta  : Chaturthi, Navami,  Chaturdasi
Purna  : Panchami,  Dasami,  Purnima, Amavasya

The 5 categories of Tithis are governed by 5 elements of nature and when a tithi falls on a weekday governed by the same element as that of the tithi a very auspicious time is formed which goes by the name of Siddha Yoga.  Tithis and the Varas of the following constitute the siddha yoga:

Nanda  : Friday    :Venus   : Jala    Tattva
Bhadra : Wednesday :Mercury : Prithvi Tattva
Jaya   : Tuesday   :Mars    : Agni    Tattva
Rikta  : Saturday  :Saturn  : Vayu    Tattva
Purna  : Thursday  :Jupiter : Akash   Tattva

Amrita Siddhi Yoga:
This yoga is formed due to combination of weekday and a star.

Sunday  : Hasta
Monday  : Mrgashiras
Tuesday : Aswini
Mercury : Anuradha
Thursday: Pusya
Friday  : Revati
Saturday: Rohini

Eventhough the above is clear for Good yoga, following combination of star and a weekday should be avoided for certain auspicious muhurthas

For Marriage    : Thursday- Pushyami
Graha Pravesham : Tuesday - Aswini
Travelling      : Saturday- Rohini
