Guest guest Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Some of the festivals like Shri Krishna Janmashtmi celebrates the birthday of Shri Krishna. He was born when Moon was in Rohini Nakshatra (2nd Charan). Now if we take Moon's position to do Puja in USA i'll have to do it during the day. I do not know much about Muhurtas but in general (this is my understanding) the festivals are celebrated based on Sun and Moon's position which remains same across globe. If Deepawali pooja time is calculated based on position of Sun and Moon then the pooja should be performed at same time (which mean different local time across the globe). Pardon me if I am totally off the track here. -rajneesh --- vernalagnia <vernalagnia wrote: > sohamsa , Rajneesh Bajpai > <brajneesh> > wrote: > > > > I have a question on Puja Muhurtas in general. > Usual > > all the festivals have Puja Muhurtas based on > Indian > > Time.
