Panchanga is the vedic calendar used from ancient times. Traditionally the Panchanga is used to know the quality of the day but you can find it very useful in almost every branch of vedic astrology either it is analysis of Rasi Chakra (natal astrology) or Muhurta (electional astrology for timing of events), or Prashna (horary astrology), or Gochara (analysis of transits), etc.
The word "Pancha" can be translated from ancient Sanskrit as "five" and the word "Anga" means "leg" or "limb". The principles of the Panchanga are based on Surya's (the Sun) and Chandra's (the Moon) daily interactions that create special effect in every individual's life. For every person who's involved in Jyotisha (vedic astrology) it can become a very useful tool when it's necessary to see if the circumstances created by Surya and Chandraare good or bad and how hard is to fulfill Janma Kundali's (horoscope) potential in a certain period.
Five limbs are five main forces that Surya and Chandra create in the system of Panchanga. Each of those five forces is a special daily combination (see the list below):
1) Vara: a solar day based on sunrise time ;
2) Tithi: a lunar day;
3) Karana: a half of lunar day;
4) Yoga: a daily relationship between Surya and Chandra;
5) Nakshatra: a Moon star in which Chandra is placed during its daily movement;
In our calendar we offer You calculations of all 5 forces - Vara, Tithi, Karana, Yoga or Nakshatra for any place in the world where You're going to use the calendar. Besides, our calendar contains useful information onBrahma Muhurta and Kalams (certain periods of time during a day, when You should not start any auspicious activity) plus absolutely unique information on active Swaras for every weekday and Tithi as well as information on changes in Tarabala and Chandrabala for Your personal Janma Kundali which cannot be found in other similar Panchanga calendars. Despite the big number of parameters our calendar is easy to use - all good combinations are coloured in green as well as bad ones are in red colour that makes finding a good day throughout the certain period simple. |
