Full panchang for Fri 23 Aug in MyjavaJanmashtami Nishita puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Janmashtami on Fri 23 Aug in Myjava?
Janmashtami is on Fri 23 Aug: Ashtami holds all of nishitha that night, and no other.
Nishitha is Saptami; Ashtami begins at 04:39 Fri.
Ashtami holds all of nishitha, 00:32 Sat–01:12 Sat. Ashtami: 04:39 to 05:02 Sat.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+2). Band: the tithi. Box: Nishitha. Dark strip: night.
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta. Ashtami runs from 04:39 on Fri 23 Aug to 05:02 on Sat 24 Aug, so only Friday night’s nishitha (00:32 Sat–01:12 Sat) falls within it. Every reading takes that day.
The rule
Bhadrapada Krishna Ashtami (purnimanta) · Shravana Krishna Ashtami (amanta)
Krishna’s birth is celebrated at nishitha, the midnight muhurta.
- Smarta
- the night whose nishitha Ashtami holds; when it touches both or neither, the later (Dharmasindhu).
- Vaishnava
- a Ashtami that Saptami does not pierce, read at sunrise: Tithika’s convention.
