JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

Dear Karu,

 

Namaste.

 

Vaara is the weekday, adn it's a part of Panchanga. A weekday is a solar

day, and seven of them are ruled by the seven planets: Ravivar - Sunday,

Somvar - Monday, Mangalvar - Tuesday, Budhavar - Wednesday, Guruvar -

Thursday, Sukravar - Friday and Sanivar - Saturnday. In the Muhurtah

Chintamani the detailed method is given to find out the beginning time of

each Vaar and also the time of beginning and lordship of different Horas.

 

What is a Hora? like in the Zodiac we have 12 Rasis and 24 Horas, the motion

of the Lagna will determine 24 Horas in a day, while the same length of time

is expressed in 60 ghatis. So both measures are used, but ghatis are more

easily converted into the motion of the planets by degrees. A while ago

there was some interesting discussion on this list about the reason why the

order of the weekdays and horas in a day is as it is, but I don't remember

the conclusion. Maybe you can find in the archives.

 

This much could I help. Maybe the others add some more info.

 

Yours, Gauranga das

Jaya Jaya Jaganath

Sri Ganesha Namaya

Om Gurave Namah,

 

Guru Pranam Sanjay, and all learned members,

 

I am having a very basic question about week days. Did we have use of week

days in Vedic Astrology for events or what ever, such as Sunday, Monday

Tuesday etc.

 

In Muhurtha, Electional Astrology we using Week day as one of the

panchang.In KP the weekday is acting a main role as ruling planets. Even

hora calculation we take hours and minuets.

 

In classic we used Gati and Vigati converted now as hours and minutes. Same

way how this vedic date (tithi) replaced by week days.

 

Also, can you speak about hora. If you divide the day or night in to 12, a

hora is equal to one hour. Since we used only Gati ( equal to 24 miniutes)

and Vigati those days, How this type of Jyotish calculations came to Vedic

Astrology.

 

I had this question for long time, without answer, so I like to know your

comments.

 

Thank you all very much.

 

Karu
