Chandrahari's Clarification / On Two decades long Panchanga Issue

[Guest guest]

Dear Respected members

 

In Kerala today a controversy has come to manifest in relation to what

is known popularly as Vishu or Meda-samkramam of Surya (sidereal ingress

of sun into Aries) and consequently two calendars have come to be

published by Government of Kerala and Mathrubhumi(Publishing

house)respectively.

 

The following,factors,have been traditionally applied over benchmark

value,viz Lankodayam(Sunrise in Lanka) to get apparent sunrise values

for Trivandrum and various other places.

a)Desantaram - Longitudinal difference converted to time,

(b)Charaphalam and Pranakalantharam - the latitudinal component and

Obliquity impact on sunrise

Aharamana was required to tranform the Lankodaya-sputam to

Sthaneeyodayam without expressing the longitudes in terms of Mean

Time.Now longitudes are available in terms of the Mean time, and hence

application of Aharmanam to the longitudes expressed in Mean Time will

derail the scientific process.

 

It is heartening that,chandra hari has brought clarity on the issue with

the illustration that, Mathrubhumi the premier publishing house had been

following a wrong method in computing samkrama etc.. for last two

decades.

 

With Gods grace i feel ,Truth will unfold,with time, regarding issues

like Ayanamsha,varga sambandhas etc.

 

Thanks
