Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Thu 31 May 2012

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Thu 31 May only, at 06:36: Thu 31 May. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 00:48, before it (05:00–06:36).

Nirjala Ekadashi: every date in Ipameri

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 120°–132° is the 11th, Shukla Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:36 here. Dashami ended at 00:48, before it. Ekadashi ends at 22:02, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 20 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 30 May ran from sunset 17:44 Wed to sunrise 06:36, 12 h 52 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:36 to 17:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:44 to 06:36 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 166°40′. It leaves at 12:51, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 46.3° + 169.6° = 215.9°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 23:18, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija runs until 11:29, when the lead reaches 126°; Vishti until 22:02.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:36 to 06:36 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 14 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 19 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 20 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha. This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 11:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 68° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.
