IN DEFENCE OF KP AYANAMSA by PROF. K. BALACHANDRAN

IN DEFENCE OF KP AYANAMSA Based on M.G.G. Nair's article – May 1980

in A & A, by PROF. K. BALACHANDRAN (K.P. & ASTROLOGY 2003, P. 88-91)

 

1. According to Shri Lahiri's Tables of the Sun based on Prof.

New Combs accurate values, the longtitude of the Sayana mean Sun

would be exactly 360* or 0' (Aries) at 8:21 IST on the 23rd March of

291 A.D. That is to say, the mean vernal equinox of 291 A.D. occurred

at that epoch which w as the the Epoch of coincidence of the tropical

and sidereal Zodiacs orthe Zero Epoch of Zero Ayanamsa.

 

2. According to Shri Lahiri, there is a positive ayanamsa of

4'59''.31 at our zero Ayanamsa epoch (viz. 4h:41m:18s on the 23 rd

March 291 A.D.)

 

3. Formula to calculate Ayanamsa for 5:30 AM IST of April 15 of

every year

 

= 22* + (1350 + <t-1900>*50.2388475)/3600

+ (<t-1900>*<t-1900>*0.000111)/3600

 

where t = (birth) year

 

(The similar formula to the one of adjusted Equation (6) in Msg#1481.

The difference is 1350 for April 15 here and 1335 for 1st January

there.)

 

4. Examples I: Ayanamsa for 1920: 22*39'15'', II for 1950:

23*4'22'', III for 1980: 23*29'30'', IV for 2049: 24*27'18''.

 

 

 

Note: In easier form,

 

KPA = 22.375 +d (50.2388475 + 0.000111d)/ 3600

 

where d = birth year – 1900

 

(Similar to Equation (7) in Msg#1481, the difference is here 22.375

for April 15 and 22.3708 for 1st January there)

 

For 1900, KPA = 22.375 = 22*22'30''

 

 

Fine tuning for 1st January 1900,

 

Number day of the year to April 15 = 105

Adjustment (105/365)* (50.2388475 + 0.000111*20)

= 14.45sec

KPA for 1st January 1990 = 22*22'30'' – 14.45sec

= 22*22'15.55sec = 22*22'16''

 

OR for easier way, KPA for 1991 – KPA for 1991 (from table)

 

=22-23-21 minus 22-22-30 = 51 sec

 

Adjustment = 51*(105/365) = 14.67sec = 15sec

 

KPA for 1 st January 1990 = 22*22'30'' – 15sec = 22*22'15sec

 

(Only 1sec difference due to rounding; 360 may be taken in place of

365)

 

For 1920, KPA = 22.375 + 20 (50.2388475 + 0.000111*20)/3600

= 22.375 + 0.2791 = 22.6541 = 22*39'15''

 

KPA for 1st January 1920

 

= 22*39'15''- 50*(105/365) =22*39'15''- 14sec= 22*39'1''

EDITOR SKEAKS, K. SUBRAMANIAM (K.P. & ASTRLOGY 2003)

 

1. Regarding the vexed question of " Ayanamsa " our Guruji Shri

K.S.K. says that those who follows this K.P. System are advised to

take the ayanamsa which he has given in his books which is the only

correct ayanamsa for predictive purpose. He also advised to give the

Ayanamsa correction only from the year beyond 2001, for each year, we

have to add at the rate of 50.2388475 sec/year.

 

2. So, I advise all my readers & followers of this K.P. System

to follow only our Guruji's Ayanamsa and there will not be any second

opinion regarding this subject of ie. " K.P. Ayanamsa " .

 

 

3. Those who want to write artcles based on other than the K.P.

Ayanamsa advised by our Guruji K.S.K. will not be published hereafter

in this magazine. I request the co-operation of all the K.P.

followers as regards in this matter.

 

4. In this issue we are publishing an accurate Tables of

Ayanamsa for the years 1900-2052 AD on New Comb's precision for the

benefit of readers and K.P. follwoers. These values are as on 15th

April every year. (Table added to file)

 

5. We, the committee members hereby declare that the values of

ayanamsa found in the tables published in this issue is the final

table and also these tables supersedes all the previous Tables of

ayanamsa published in K. P. Reader I & all ephemeris (Krishman & C.)
