Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Namaste Badrinath, I am cc'ing this mail to a few that are read by some astrologers and some priests, hoping you don't mind. A lot of astrologers and priests routinely miscalculate Raahu Kaalam because of a misconception. The rahu kalam times given in panchangas for various weekdays are based on a 6 am sunrise. If sunrise is exactly at 6 am, then Raahu Kaalam on a Thursday is from 1:30 pm to 3 pm. But, if sunrise happens at 6:35 am, then all the kaalas are shifted by 35 minutes. The day is divided into various kaalas and it is based on the sunrise. So Raahu Kaalam on a Thursday will be from 2:05 pm to 3:35 pm. What is so special about 6 am? If India did not choose " 5.5 hours east " timezone and instead chose " 6 hours east " timezone or " 5 hours east " timezone, then all the times in all the clocks in Chennai would be off by 30 minutes. Will these astrologers still take Kaalams based on 6 am clock time and say that Raahu Kaalam is still from 1:30 pm to 3 pm on a Thursday? The 6 am clock time has no relevance. Sun is the epoch of the day and sunrise is important for deciding horas and kaalams. Jagannatha hora software is correct and your astrologer friend is unfortunately misinformed. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Dear all, One should do their homework and study before blaming any software. Every information does not come on a silver platter without hard work. The Rahu kalam which is mentioned in books etc. is based when the Sunrise is at 6.00am. But Local times are different. In Calcutta for instance the Sunrise is earlier, in that case the Rahu kalam also comes earlier then Bombay or Delhi. Study, study and study. regards, Bhaskar. , Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote: > > Namaste Badrinath, > > I am cc'ing this mail to a few that are read by some astrologers and some priests, hoping you don't mind. > > A lot of astrologers and priests routinely miscalculate Raahu Kaalam because of a misconception. > > The rahu kalam times given in panchangas for various weekdays are based on a 6 am sunrise.

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Thanks Gopu. I found it in panchang. However the sunrise time does not change even after you change the Latitude and Longitude. How is the sunrise time calculated or updated. I am sure it changes based on your location. I changed coordinates of the place in edit data and it did not change the rhahu kaal which is based on sunrise. Thanks Satish --- K Gopu <kgopu_24 wrote: > u can go to miscellany at the top in Jhora and click > it. at the bottom u will get panchagam, if u click > it > u will get the thithi, rahu kalam, soola, yama > kandam, > gulika. > > good luck, > k.gopu > > > > > > > ______________________________\ ____ > Never miss a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 dear satish, ur correct. I presume that rahu kalam has been programmed only for Indian standard time. the correct person to answer ur query is only Shri PVR Narasimha raoji and his team who has designed this software with great effort and has been magnanimous to offer it as a freeware. good luck, k.gopu ______________________________\ ____ Never miss a thing.
