Dasa Year: Fixed, Solar & Lunar Calendars

[Guest guest]

Hare Rama Krsna!

 

Dear Ernst,

 

Nice thought on the use of sidereal days. As you have noticed the length

of year to be 360 solar days, consider the point that our Western calendar

has 365.2425 calendar days. What are the additional days standing for?

Indeed, the movement of Sun according to the background of nakshatras. And

if you calculate the additional days 5.2425/365.2425 that will give you

the annual ayanamsa value, in other words presently about 51 seconds per

year.

 

Another point that is on my mind for some time, is whether this ayanamsa

goes around the entire zodiac or moves forward and backward around the

point of 0°Aries. Consider the point that Sun is exalted in Aries and

debilitated in Libra. Sun in Aries starts the spring season when the Sun

gets power and it loses its power in Libra, when autumn season starts. If

ayanamsa goes linear, then how could the spring equinox at one point fall

in Libra, when Sun gets debilitated. Similarly, Sun in the signs of Saturn

indicates winter, how at that point would Sun in the signs of Saturn

indicate summer time. It doesn't make sense.

 

Thus I would say that at some point, the solar year could be shorter than

360 days, and the ayanamsa go backwards again. In any case, I use 360 days

year for dasha periods. What do you think, does that make sense?

 

Your sishya,

Dear Members

The usual practice of calculating the Dasas is the Year=12 months,Month=12

days.

In using this method the adedittion is done dys+date,if Sum > 30 then carry

over the excess to Month. Then add month to month, excess over 12 is carried

over to year. Then year is added to year. This method sometimes gives the date

as 31st June. This is corrected to 1st July.

In the other method we take the Dasas in calender Dates. The Dasa of venus is

not 20 ys but 20X365.25 days. The total cycle also will be 120X365.25 calender

dates. Thee dasa ending, start etc are done on basis of calender days only, and

then converted to Year, and the Calender Date.

There is hardly a difference of 1 or 2 days in the 2 methods

Actually the 365.2425 days is the time it takes the Sun to move from

Vernal equinox to vernal equinox, the time it takes to move through the

nakshatras is 365.2564 days, about 11 minutes longer I believe.

That is interesting and merits some thought.

According to Svami Sri Yuktesvar the ayanamsa definitely revolves around

the entire zodiac.

Seasons are stable and dependent upon the soltices and equinoxes, IE the

tropical zodiac, which are recognized in Samhitas, but not given

preference to in respect to predictions.

What you are calling solar days are called Savana Days in the Surya

Siddhanta, and which are use primarily for determining the days of the

week, Sunday-Saturday, and for determign the mean positions of the

planets which are given as motion in number of Savana days. What the

Surya Sidhanta calls solar days are the time for the Sun to travel 1

degree, which comes to 365.2425 modern calander days. So while we are

certainly supposed to use a 360 day year- as all years in Surya

Siddhanta are 360 days, what days are meant? Solar year comes to a

365.2425 year, Lunar year to app. 354 days, Savana year to 360 days, and

sideral year to a bit over 359 days.
