Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Dear Sveta, This falls in the domain of 'Muhurth' and I am no expert on that. However as a layman I can say that Rahu Kaal is calculated from the local time of Sun rise. Therefore it has nothing to do with standard time or DST. Find out the local sun rise time and then calculate when the rahu kaal is for each day. The slot sequence { i.e. the time elapsed from sun rise for each day} remains the same always. The example you have given is based on the assumption that the Sun rise is at 6 am Local Mean Time. Therefore on a Monday the rahu kaal will be the second slot of one and a half hour. Putting a clock forward or back again shouldn't make a difference because the Rahu Kaal is related to sun rise.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Thank you, Priyaji, that is an excellent explanation. If the daylight time i.e. hours between sunrise and sunset are less than 12 hours, then is each of the 8 slots compressed equally, or is the day time always considered to be 12 hours from Sunrise, not matter when the sun sets?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 Dear Sveta, Once again a layman's opinion. The slots do not get compressed, they stay at hour and a half each.
