Preface It is with great pleasure and pride that we are bringing out The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga, in English, for the Manmata Nama Samvatasara (2015-2016). The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga now in your hands is a unique and novel effort on our part, to provide to our readers the essential inputs, in a userfriendly mode, with an attractive design and an easy-toglance format.

The monthly Panchanga given for each day contains the ending moments of the Nakshatra, Tithi, Nityayoga, Karana and Amritadiyoga for the day. For an easy examination and comprehension, the forbidden Nityayogas, Karanas and Amritadiyogas are provided in red colour.

The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga has adopted the hour and minute scheme to denote the ending moments of nakshatras etc., which is accepted and understandable for the modern times than the Ghatis and Vighatis, seldom understood by the new generations. The time adopted is the Indian Standard Time that is applicable for the whole of India. As the ending moments given for the various components of the panchanga are common for the whole world, they can be adopted for any place on the earth by applying the appropriate time and date corrections for the different time zones. As for Rahu and other kalas and the Horas, they are place-centric and will have to be adopted according to the appropriate local sunrise timings for the place selected.

The credit for bringing out this vade-mecum of essentials for ready reference and instant day-to-day use for anyone goes mainly to our senior contributor of The Astrological eMagazine, Sri Yajnavalkya, who has been with us since our father’s days. We are indebted to him in a very large extent.

To Sri V K Shivkumar, who has put forth immense effort to key-in the details with utmost care and checks and for going through 4

the proofs, we offer our immense thanks. This compendium, different in style and format from the usual Panchangas that we are accustomed to use, has been conceived and designed to help the young and old alike, the homemaker, working women, students, professionals and from politicians to corporate leaders who would like to refer and take important and right decisions at appropriate moments, as ordained in our ancient scriptures.

Mr. Chandrashekar, Naren and Damodhar Babu of M/s. Sharadh Enterprises. who have put immense efforts in typesetting, formatting and printing the panchanga attractively in record time deserve our special thanks. Special thanks are to the Idea team for designing the cover page.

Our family members Mrs Saroja Nagaraj, Dr & Mrs. Sureshwara, Mr. & Mrs. Kumar Babu, Mrs Umarani, Mr. & Mrs Raman Suprajarama and Mr. Raman Siddhartha, gave us their continued assistance and enthusiastic support but for which we would not have been able to complete this great task. We place on record our special thanks to the distributors of our (print and online) books for making this Manmata Nama Samvatasara Panchanga easily available to all of you.

About The Astrological eMagazine Panchang for the Year Manmata (2015-2016) We are happy to present this fourth edition of the Astrological eMagazine, this time for the year Manmata (2015-2016), as our humble tribute to that gentle colossus Dr Raman. We are overwhelmed to see the great response for our maiden effort of bringing the earlier editions of Panchanga of The Astrological eMagazine. As usual we dedicate this Panchanga for the year Manmata to Dr Raman.

Bringing out a panchanga was a new effort on our part to give only the essential inputs and make it user-friendly to the maximum. Most of the archaic information furnished in the standard panchangas is seldom used by the users as they are of no practical use for our day-to-day activities. Eschewing them and giving a new look, both in design and contents, especially of the panchanga portion, our interest in bringing out this panchanga has been to select only the essential details and furnish them in an easy-to-glance format.

Each month commences with a chart of the planetary positions for the first day of the month. The information about the transit details of the Sun and the Moon and other planets are provided, along with the details of combustions, if any, there itself, for easy reference.

As in the previous year, the sunrise-sunset and Rahukala timings for each day are furnished as applicable for Bengaluru in IST, along with the day’s panchang.

The layout of the panchanga has been retained as to include the details for ten days in a page. The monthly panchang portions, in addition to giving the essential inputs of the ending moments of nakshatras, tithis etc., provide an indication in red colour for the forbidden Nityayogas, Karanas and Amirthaadi yogas, that are to be avoided normally. The religious festivals

of Hindu and other religions with the other days and dates of importance are given in the last page of the panchanga for each month.

With an eye to reduce the cost and bulkiness of the book, Some of the well-known details that were provided in our earlier editions, have been omitted, except for a brief narration of the constituents of Panchanga dealing with its five limbs of the tithi, vaara, nakshatra, yoga and karana. For such information omitted in this editions, readers can easily refer to the earlier copies of our editions.

In short, the panchanga in your hands is a vade-mecum of essentials for ready and instant use.

What The Year Manmata Has To Foretell The following are the different Eras for the current year.

Kaliyugaadi 5117 Gregorian Salivaakana 1937 Fuseli Kollamaandu (Kerala) 1190- 91 Vikrama

2015- 16 1424- 25 2072- 73

In the Prabhavaadi cycle this year Manmata is the 29th year.

In the South India the year goes under the name of Manmata but in the North India it goes under the name of Parabhava.

In the North Indian system the Samvatasara is tied up with the transit of Jupiter into a rasi by its mean position. Such a samvatasara is approximately 361.049 days which is 4.207 days less than the mean sidereal year. Therefore 86 solar years will have 87 samvatasaras and the samvatasara can start from any day of the solar year. The first year of Prabhava begins with the entry of Jupiter to Kumbha rasi.

In South India this cycle is free from the Jupiter movement.

It is linked to the Solar or luni-solar year in use. In Andhra, Karnataka and Maharashtra where the Amaanta Chaitraadi is followed, the year begins on Chaitra Sukla Pradipada day.

For them this new Lunar year ‘Manmata’ begins on the 20th March 2015, at 03h.06m. IST. In Tamil Nadu where the solar calendar is followed, the year begins on the Mesha Samkranti day that falls on the 14th April 2015, at 01h.47m., when the Sun enters the Nirayana Mesha rasi and the Aswini nakshatra.

Our astrological texts have prescribed a method of computing a planetary cabinet (nava-naayakaas) for each year, to have an idea, at least roughly, about what will be in store for the year, mostly about climate, rainfall, governance etc. The cabinet for the ‘Manmata’ year and the anticipated results of their respective portfolios will be as follows.

Sale of gold, silver and gems can see an increase in production and also in their use in auspicious celebrations which can see a large upward trend.

According to the “Varushaadinool’, a Tamil astrological classic, the new year Manmata is expected to bring forth the following results.

Manmathil maaryundu vazhum uyir ellame Namai migum pal porulum nannume - mannavaral Seenathil chandaiyundu ten thisaiyil kaatru migum Kana porul kuraiyum kaan This tells briefly that there will be good rains that can bring increase of products needed for the people with cheer for the various living beings. However, there will be wars in China amongst its rulers. Stormy winds can hit the southern parts of India. Forest produces like honey and others can dwindle.

Even though, what that is indicated in this verse is attributed to Idaikkadar - a Tamil sage and some others, it is debatable whether it concerns the Tamilnadu alone or the country as a whole. Even otherwise, opinions differ on this count in Vasishta and Narada Samhitas. It will be interesting to note what the Narada Samhita has to say:

cevceLeeyos efKeuee ueeskeÀem³elkesÀefueHejueesuegHee: Meeefue#eg³eJeieesOegcewve&³eveeefYeveJee Oeje ~~ This roughly means that “During the Manmata year all the people will be happy throughout. Rice and other cereals, sugarcane, jowar, wheat and other pulses grow and make the earth look beautiful.”

The lunar year Manmata begins on the 20th March, 2015, at 15h.06m., IST., when the Sukla Pradipata commences. The 10

Cancer rises with retrograde and exalted 9th Lord Jupiter with it, in close proximity. With Jupiter going into its own house and ascendant to the 6th, from the Janma lagna, in the Navaamsa, it can help the government to gain strength and embolden it to work with some decisiveness that perhaps was conspicuous by its absence up till now. The lagna-lord Moon and the exalted and retrograde Jupiter as lord of the 9th, exchange their places causing a parivarthana. This can help the government, to enhance and establish its position. Moreover the lagna-lord Moon joins hands, in a highly favourable trine, the 9th, with the Sun, lord of the 2nd and the yogakaraka Mars, lord of the 5th and 10th; which is gaining a vargottama position. This can help the economy to grow. The Gulikabhavanaadhipatya dosha of Mars though can cause a dent in its efficacy, the anticipated damage, if any, will be only minimal, thanks to the beneficial aspect it gains from Jupiter. The 10th lord Mars is in the 9th. The 9th house is aspected by its exalted lord. As Jupiter is also a karaka for finance and teaching, its strength can help the government to bring about some drastic reforms in the taxation and educational regimes. The Gjnanakaaraka Ketu, in the house of Jupiter, in the 9th can instil some sanity 11

in the political thinking, beyond the narrow party ideologies.

Exalted Jupiter in the lagna aspecting the 9th can do some good to the bulk of the increasing senior citizens.

The dhanasthana getting aspected by the lord of the 12th, from its position in the 8th, can help to get a boost in securing the foreign investments. The fiscal growth of the state can get an upward push because the lord of 2nd, the aarohi Sun, is in the 9th along with the lagna-lord and getting aspected by the powerful 9th lord. However the 3rd house occupied by Rahu and aspected by the Moon, the Sun and Mars, is a thorn in the flesh. A major accident can occur. The 4th house, even though is aspected by its lord, is hemmed in-between by malefics. This can cause harm to construction business and agriculture. The 7th house and its lord getting the beneficial aspect of Jupiter can help the smooth functioning of the government. Beneficial and powerful Jupiter can strengthen the judicial system and reduce communal tensions. Venus occupying the 10th can help more women to occupy pivotal posts. The 10th lord, Mars, gaining vargottama can help to secure tolerable good governance.

This lunar year begins on the close heels of the occurrence of a total solar eclipse having its great phase just minutes after its birth. The saving grace is that the eclipse will not be visible in India. However, a possibility of some sort of serious natural disasters, affecting some of the states around the Polar Regions, cannot be ruled out.

Let the New Year Manmata bring happiness, prosperity, peace and progress to all our readers of the Astrological emagazine and all in the world.

The Five Constituents of the Panchanga In considering Tithi, generally, the 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, Full moon – Pournami and New Moon - Amavasya are avoided. In some parts of South India, New Moon day is believed to be auspicious. About Vaara, in general Tuesday and Saturday are considered inauspicious though they are valid for surgical operations. One should note that in Indian Astrology, the weekday is said to commence from sunrise. Of the twenty-seven Nakshatras, Bharani and Krittika are avoided for all works. This is because they are presided by Yama, the lord of death.

Among the Yogas, Vishkumbha, Atiganda, Soola, Ganda, Vyaghata, Vajra, Vyatipata, Parigha and Vydhruti are considered inauspicious and have to be avoided for auspicious functions. Some add Dhriti also to the list. Of the Karanas, Bhadra is the most unwanted while Bava and Thaithula are very auspicious.

1. TITHI The Moon takes a little over two and half days, to traverse one zodiacal sign. It travels approximately 12° per day and in Hindu measuring of time, this is called Tithi or a lunar day. This corresponds to the phases of the Moon. It is actually a measurement of the progress of the Moon along the zodiacal belt in its relationship with the position of the Sun. The Moon overtakes the Sun once a month, after a close embrace with it, which we call as the New Moon day or Amavasya. At that moment the longitudes of the two luminaries will become identical.

Thereafter the relative displacement of the Moon from the Sun will be at the same rate of 12º. So, to traverse the 360º to complete its one round of the zodiac, the Moon takes 30 such time slots. Each of these slots is called a Tithi or a lunar day.

Thus one lunar month is the duration of one orbit of the Moon around the earth. So, in all, we get 30 Tithis for one full revolution of the Moon around the zodiac. This period is subdivided into two parts of fifteen Tithis of the bright-half or Shuklapaksha (Sudi) when the Moon moves way from the Sun and fifteen of the dark-half or Krishnapaksha (Vadi) when she moves towards the Sun. Shuklapaksha is the period when the Moon is waxing, beginning on the New Moon (Amavasya) and extending to the Full Moon (Pournima). Krishnapaksha, the period when the Moon is waning, begins after the Full Moon and extends till the next New Moon. During the period of Krishnapaksha, when the Moon gradually wanes and loses her digits of brightness 13

The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga

ď ś

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

to finally disappear into darkness or enter the world of manes or Pitrus is considered to be unfavourable for the performance of any auspicious ceremonies. However, the period of Shuklapaksha is considered favourable for such favourable actions that require growth and progress.

It is held that as the Moon disappears fully on the Amavasya day, the five Tithis following Amavasya from Prathama to Panchami, when the Moon is slowly trying to gain her digits, of the first frequency, would be weak and therefore are inauspicious. In the second frequency of the Shuklapaksha the Tithis from Shasti to Dasami, the Moon would have increased her digits to some extent and hence are considered neutral, being neither auspicious nor inauspicious. The Tithis of the third frequency of the bright half namely Ekadasi to Pournami the Moon would have become powerful endowed with full digits and hence are considered auspicious. On the other hand, in the dark fortnight, after the Pournami the five Tithis from Prathama to Panchami, the Moon will be slowly decreasing in her digits, but yet will have strength and are therefore considered fully auspicious. As in the bright fortnight, the Tithis of the dark half from Shasti to Dasami will have mediocre strength for the Moon and hence considered neither auspicious nor inauspicious. In the third frequency of the dark half from Ekadasi to Amavasya, the Moon slowly becomes devoid of strength. The Moon becomes completely weak on the Amavasya day and is held inauspicious.

2. THE WEEK This a period of cycle of seven days reckoned from the midnight of Saturday in the western countries. In India, the weekday is reckoned from the sunrise only. For convenience, we take the week to start from the sunrise of Sunday. The week has been in use in India and the Eastern countries since prehistoric times. The same denominations employed by us are found also in the calendars of Jews, Egyptians, Arabs and Assyrians. Of the seven weekdays Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are considered auspicious. Some consider Mondays as inauspicious when the Moon is weak. For specific purposes the weekdays ruled by malefics like Sunday, Tuesday and Saturday are admitted. Opinions vary with different authorities, over the selection of weekdays, especially for various agricultural activities.

The lord of the weekday must be strong along with the Kaalahoras and the Amsa lord rising at the time selected to make the day chosen, effectively auspicious.

KALAHORA The planets and the Sun and Moon, if arranged according to their distance from the Sun in decreasing order will be like this: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Earth, the full Moon, Venus and Mercury and finally the Sun. Interpolating the Sun for the Earth and the Moon for the Sun we get the order of the seven planets as follows: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, the Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon. A day is divided into 24 Horas and each Hora is assigned the ruler-ship of each planet. By assigning the Hora ruler-ship in the above order, the Sunday will get three such full cycles of ruler-ships for the 21 Hora divisions and only three Hora divisions left to complete the 24 for the day. Continuing the same order, the Sun, Venus and Mercury will get the ruler-ships of the remaining divisions from 22 to 24 of the Sunday. The next hour of ruler-ship will go to the Moon to start the next day as Monday.

The first Hora on Sunday will be of Surya. It is to commence at 6 AM and end at 7 AM. This will be true if the sunrise is at 6 AM. In case of any variation it has to start at the exact time of the sunrise and the duration of each Hora will be one hour.

Of these Horas those of the benefic planets like Guru, Sukra, Budha and the waxing Moon will be auspicious and can be chosen for any auspicious event. Hora timings of Malefics like Sani and Kuja must be avoided. The Hora of the Sun, though considered as a malefic, is good for official dealings and governmental interactions.

3. THE NAKSHATRAS The third limb, Nakshatra simply means a star cluster. In Hindu astrology the term nearly always refers to the specific star-clusters or constellations, which lie along the ecliptic and they are 27 in number excluding Abhijith. Abhijith is taken as the 22nd Nakshatra to make the total 28. It pervades from 06º 40’ to 10º53’20” of Capricorn, comprising of the 4th paada of Uttarashada and 1st paada of Sravana. However, Abhijith nakshatra is not reckoned in our panchanga.

The ecliptic is the apparent yearly path of the Sun as seen from the earth. Hindu astrology considers this zodiacal belt as Kaalapurusha. It is in tandem, divided into 12 raasis as well fitting 2¼ constellations in each Raasi. Each Nakshatra has its presiding and subsidiary deities and embodies particular ideas, powers and forces of nature. The different Nakshatras represent the various parts of the stellar deity. All 15

The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga



www.astrologicalmagazine.com

of the planets, one after another, pass through the ecliptic and align with each of the 27 nakshatras. When a planet comes into alignment with one of these star clusters, as seen from the earth, the rays of the stars combine with those of the planet to influence the earth.

Each nakshatra exerts its own unique energies upon the planets within its influence. The nakshatras are considered so important that constellational or nakshatra astrology is a field of Hindu astrology in itself. Nakshatra consideration is a critical element in Muhoortha — discerning the nature of a given period and choosing auspicious times for various activities.

The 27 nakshatras are Aswini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Aslesha, Magha, Poorvaphalguni, Uttaraphalguni, Hasta, Chitta, Swati, Visaka, Anuradha, Jyeshta, Moola, Poorvaashaada, Uttarashada, Sravana, Dhanishta, Satabhisha, Poorvaproshtapada, Uttaraproshtapada and Revati.

Generally, nine Nakshatras Bharani, Krittika, Aridra, Aslesha, the three Poorvas, Visaka and Jyeshta are rejected for auspicious functions.

4. YOGAS There are different kinds of yogas. Nityayoga or Naisargika is one of the five limbs of Panchanga and are reckoned from the sum of the longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. This sum is divided into units of 13º20’ to form the 27 Nityayogas. They correspond to the 27 nakshatras. As of the nakshatras, its span is 13º 20’. When the sum of the longitudes of the Sun and the Moon is zero, the first yoga Vishkumbha starts and it is also the end of the 27th (the last yoga) Vydhruti.

The Nitya Yogas are: Vishkumbha; Preeti; Ayushman; Sowbhaagya; Sobhana; Atiganda; Sukarma; Dhriti; Soola; Ganda; Vriddhi; Dhruva; Vyaghata; Harshana; Vajra; Siddhi; Vyatipata; Varian; Parigha; Siva; Siddha; Sadhya; Subha; Sukla; Brahma; Indira; and Vydhruti.

Of the Nityayogas, we have a mention of Vaidhruthi and Vyatipata in the Panchaanga. Liberally, Vydhruti may mean concealing or inescapable and Vyatipata falling from standards. As mentioned earlier, these are the two important of the ten forbidden Yogas eschewed for the conduct of auspicious functions. They are Vyaghata, Parigha, Vajra, 16

The Astrological eMagazine Panchanga

ď ś

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

Vyatipata, Dhriti, Ganda, Atiganda, Shula, Vishkumbha and Vydhruti, which are generally spurned for auspicious events. Nevertheless, there are several relaxations.

Considering the astronomical implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also observed and with added Ayanamsa, for both the longitudes of the Sun and the Moon, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata will occur, a couple of days ahead of the Nirayana computations.

5. KARANAS The fifth limb is the Karana that is technically half of the Tithi. So much so, the lunar month of 30 days will have 60 Karanas but only eleven distinct names are used to denote them. They are: Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija, Vishti, Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. Like the Yoga, the Karana is also a factor used by astrologers for determining the auspiciousness of the day for a given activity. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable. The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira only four. The fixed ones, Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna can be easily identified because these four are permanently allotted to the second half of the Krishnapaksha Chaturdasi, then to the two halves of the New Moon and to the first half of the Shuklapaksha Prathama, in the same order. The remaining 56 halves of the Tithis are shared by the seven movable Karanas. They are, in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti or Bhadra, forming a series. This series, starting with the second half of the Shuklapaksha Prathama completes eight such cycles to finally end with the first half of the Krishnapaksha Chaturdasi, allowing then, the four Sthira Karanas to take over the next four halves of the Tithis. The animal origins or yonis of the movable Karanas are lion, tiger, boar, donkey, elephant, cow and dog and of the fixed ones are dog, bull, serpent and cock.

The above narration of the five limbs of the Panchaanga is only an attempt to give a kaleidoscopic view of the basic components of our Panchaanga. They are in no way exhaustive or elaborate. They have been furnished to help the reader to have a better understanding of the combined effects of some of these, which we are going to examine, in some extensive patterns.

Useful Hints on Selection of Muhurthas Kaalavidhana says: Doshan sarvan paritruktu masakyambahuvalsari Tasmaal pareekshyakurveetaswalpadoshagunaadhikey Even Devas cannot get, for years, a muhurtha fully auspicious. Any selected muhurtha can be a mixture of some good and a few bad. So the intelligent must seek only muhurthas which are of less of evils and more of auspicious points and get the things done at that moment.

Aadimadyaantarahita: kaalonaamavibhuswayam Sadaasaddoshassaguno nirdosha: kopinaasthi: As the Kalapurusha is without any beginning, middle or end; all pervading and is forever and everywhere (invasive in all directions in time and space) with good and bad ingredients, it will be impossible to select any moment free from all blemishes. It is therefore necessary for the learned to choose a time where the doshas are to the minimum and the good factors are at the maximum.

1. For all deeds for which there are rules regarding the month (masakaryas) or days (dinakaryas) on which they have to be performed, the rule of rejection of shad doshas like the combustion of Venus or Jupiter and Adhimasa etc need not be considered.

Nisheka and Namakarana are Dinakaryas. Pumsavana, Seemantha, Vishnubali, Garbharaksha, Nishkramana and Annaprasana are Masakaryas. So these eight functions are exempted from the purview of the shad doshas.

2. Janmarasi of a person is good and acceptable for Travel, Vivaha, Gruharambha, Gruhapravesha, Seemantha, Samavarthana, taking medicines, Upakarma and Vratas.

3. For the first solid food feed for the child, Sekam and marriage 6 ghatis (2 hours 24 minutes) before the sunrise must be avoided.

For others the embargo is 4 ghatis (1 hour 36 minutes) before sunrise. Two ghatis after sunset, 10 ghatis of midday and midnight, are forbidden. The custom however, is to shun the two ghatis of midnight.

4. When the wife becomes pregnant the husband must not cut hair or shave after 90 days of pregnancy till the 10th day after delivery.

After that he can cut the hair and shave.

Vastu Shastra

The Science of Habitation Solar Energy The morning rays of the Sun are a known source of positive energies and probably our seers wanted these rays to flood the house and benefit the inmates. It is also precisely for this reason that the bathroom where one takes one’s bath every morning is also recommended in the east. Similarly the placement of the shrine in the North-eat where we offer your prayer in the mornings and the kitchen in the South-east where the traditional house-wife is most of the time busy are also related to the fact that the morning rays are as much required by the house-wife in the kitchen as by the master of the house in the shrine.

Similarly the location of water bodies in the North-east could perhaps be related to the need of having water available near the fire ovens in the South-east kitchen in case of any fire hazards.

Magnetic Energy It is normally recommended for people to sleep with their heads to the south. The human body is said to have the ability to acquire the property of magnetism because there is a large percentage of iron in the blood circulating all over our body. It is also known that the earth is a huge magnet with its poles having attractive and repulse powers as is evident by the pointing of a compass needle. The feet for the most part of the day are in contact with this huge magnet. The South polarity is said to be induced in the feet and consequently North polarity, in the head. This arrangement of poles in the human body is natural to it and therefore conducive to health.

When lying down with your head to the South, the magnetic poles of your head and feet will attract the South and North Poles of the earth respectively thereby preserving the polarity of the body natural.

23

It is precisely for this reason too that the ancients said that the body enjoys perfect health and longevity is strengthened by sleeping with the head to the South. By sleeping to the north this natural polarity is disturbed or diminished and the body becomes vulnerable to disease.

Sage Markandeya who was able to conquer death is said to have stated that a person acquires strength and longevity by placing his head southwards and bring upon himself disease and death by lying down with his head placed to the North.

Hospitals, nursing homes, mental asylums etc. can expect to have faster recovery of their patients if they insist that they lie with their heads to the South.

Electrical Energy That our ancients were aware of the usefulness of lightning rods is seen from the fact that ancient temple tops have iron or copper rods inserted into them. These rods placed at the top of a temple are similar to the lightning conductor rods that are now fixed at the roof top of modern buildings.

As the awareness in Vastu grows rapidly, the ever questioning mind of the so-called rationalist tries of find a reason for every Vastu move. However scientific our ancients were, it is sometimes impossible to fit the rules of Vastu totally to the limited framework of modern scientific thinking.

The planning of houses on the micro level and of towns on the macro level are the finest traits of human civilization one can think of. If only our people and the town planners made use of the principles of architecture as laid down by our ancients, the world would be a better place to live in.

Eclipses of the Manmata Year There will be five eclipses – two of the Sun and three of the Moon during the Manmata year.

Of these only two – one of the Moon and the other of the Sun will be visible in India.

They are as follows: The timings are in IST. 1. The total lunar eclipse on the 4th April 2015., from 15h. 45m., to 19h.15m.

Only the umbral phase ending will be visible throughout India. The beginning of the umbral phase will not be seen from anywhere in India. The greatest phase and end of totality can be seen from Dibrugarh, Imphal, Kohima and Port Blair. The ending of totality alone can be seen from Itanagar and Silchar. This total eclipse of the Moon will not be visible from Bengaluru since the Moon will be beneath the horizon at the time.

2. Partial Solar Eclipse on the 13th September 2015 from 10h.12m., to 14h.36m.

Not Visible in India.

3. Total Lunar Eclipse on the 28th September 2015 from 06h.37m., to 09h.57m.

Not visible in India.

4. Total Solar Eclipse on the 9th March 2016 from 04h.49m., to 10h.05m. IST Visible in India. It will be visible from Sumatra, Borneo and Sulawesi and from locations in the Pacific Ocean. The eclipse will be partial for people in South and East Asia and northern and eastern Australia. The maximum point of the eclipse will be at 07h.30m.IST on March 9. Totality will last for 04m.09s.

5. Penumbral Lunar eclipse occurring on the 23rd March 2016 will not be visible in India. In other places also this eclipse will be hard to see, as the Moon will become only be a bit fainter than the rest of the Moon. During penumbral lunar eclipse, the Earth’s main shadow does not cover the Moon. As the Earth’s shadow (umbra) misses the Moon during a penumbral lunar eclipse, there are no other locations on Earth where the Moon appears partially or totally eclipsed during this event.
