2006 World Vedic Calendar

[Guest guest]

Namaste Ji

 

Trust everything is well at your end.

 

We are pleased to advise that technical work for the 2006 World Vedic

Calendar(Almanac/Panchang) is now complete and look forward to your support

again this year. This calendar is based on siddhantic calendar updated and

improved upon by Arya Bhatta some 2000 years ago. An actual Vedic calendar

needs to be updated every 72 years in view of the precession of the

earth.Therefore this calendar uses the Sayana system which is based on

CURRENT positions of planets and stars. Its focus is on entire globe as is

the Vedic principle. It also contain references to historical and

astronomical events/festivals.

 

This is the first calendar that gives the scientific explanation of the

Indian festivals and relates the association of various seasonal cycles with

the human biological cycle as described in the Vedas, Upveda and Vedangas.

Scientific explanations of the following terms are also included: tithi,

yugas, manvantaras, kalpas, sankrantis, Uttarayana, Dakshinayana, Devayana,

Pitripaksha, Mahashivaratri, Panchaka periods, Kumbha melas etc.

 

This calendar has both the Vedic and Christian formats for easy reference.

Through them even a layman will also be able to get information of Indian

Calendar following the dates and months of Christian calendar. Afterwards it

gives a detatiled article on the origin and development of various Eras of

the World followed by an exhaustive list of all the eras (new and old) of

the world updated in correspondance with the Christian era of 2006. It gives

articles on the Astronomical and Historical significance of some important

festivals of India. It also provides some photos of Indian heroes. Lastly it

gives the detailed description of constellations etc. for the benefit of

interested persons.

 

This calendar is printed in both Hindi and English (but not separately).

 

Please let me know if you need more information and/or how you can obtain

copies.

 

 

Thanks & Best Regards

There is a lot of confusion among people regarding vedic ad non vedic tings. For example the days of week, the zodiac , sakranti etc are purely non vedic while naksatra, tithi and lunar month are purely vedic. thanks
