The sun rise at Assam and Mumbai are not the same. So the hora begins at different times in different places depending on the sun rise. <br /><br />The hora proceeds in a sequence like - sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars and again Sun and continues in the same sequence. This can be easily remembered as the line up of planetary lords of alternate days counted backwards. <br /><br />This keeps repeated for 24 hours a day and when the 25th hour comes the lord of that hora is the same as the lord of the week day. Or in other words, the naming of the weekday was done based on the lord of the 25th hour which is the first hour that starts at sunrise. On sunday the hora at sunrise is sun. On monday, it happens to be moon and so on for other days. This is how we have the names of week days after planetary lords. <br /><br />The cut off time is sunrise. So the exact sunrise time of a place must be taken into consideration to know the horas in that place. Apply this to Mumbai and Assam. Though IST is the same at these places, we have to see the exact sun rise at these places. Hora must be counted from that local sunrise time only. <br /><br />Per this when sun hora rises in Assam, the day has not yet begun at Mumbai.It is 2 hours behind in Mumbai and must be running the 23rd hora of saturday, namely Jupiter. The day and the hora of the day rises only at sunrise. <br /><br />Hope this clarifies.Jayasree Saranathan https://www.blogger.com/profile/01048252011566427834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-69332355826669561422010-07-18T11:15:26.340+05:302010-07-18T11:15:26.340+05:30Thank you very much Jayasree Mami -

I read somewhere that Ravivaara (or Gnaayiru) is named so because the lord of the hora at sunrise is Sun. So, for Saturday the lord of the hora at sunrise is Saturn. (pardon me if I am wrong over there). If that is the case, between Assam and Mumbai, there is at least 2 hrs of difference. Each hour the lord of the hora changes. Which means, actually, Sunday at Assam may not be Sunday at Mumbai. Is that deduction right or are there any wrong assumptions here?appalam vadaamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719211310330160453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-44415972578425427582010-07-16T20:38:14.948+05:302010-07-16T20:38:14.948+05:30Yes Ms Vasundhara. For those in the U.S Adi maasam...Yes Ms Vasundhara. For those in the U.S Adi maasam begins on 16th. <br /><br />The sunrise at your place determines the 'Pandigai'. Though the day in your place did not begin with sun already having entered Kataka, it is entering early in the day. The number of days of the solar months are fixed. If you skip 16th - on the rationale that kataka sangramana was not there at sunrise, then you would be losing nearly a full day (day in this reckoning is counted form sunrise to sunrise) and that would give rise to a problem of how to adjust the day. <br /><br />This problem sometimes arises in Mesha sangramaan (Tamil New year) also. When the sun is there for most part of the day on the day of sangramana, we count that day as the first day.

My mother says Aadi pandigai is on 17th because Sun is entering kataka after sunset (for her). She lives in Chennai. For me in US in the Western timezone, Sun is entering Kataka at 08:34 AM (after sunrise). From my little understanding, I feel, I can celebrate Aadi pandigai today. Could you clear my doubts please?appalam vadaamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15719211310330160453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-54324061046659633142009-04-29T18:06:00.000+05:302009-04-29T18:06:00.000+05:30Thanks for the link.

Therefore Gokuashtami means Gokul - Krishna and Ashtami - eight. <br /><br /><br /><br /><A HREF="http://hindugodphoto.blogspot.com/2008/05/lord-sri-krishna-photo.html" REL="nofollow">Lord Krishna Photo, God Krishna Picture, Krishna Wallpaper</A>Krishnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14351472527480574030noreply@blogger.com
