Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Wed 26 Feb 2003

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Wed 26 Feb only, at 06:38: Wed 26 Feb. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 02:44, before it (05:02–06:38).

Vijaya Ekadashi: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 300°–312° is the 26th, Krishna Ekadashi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:38 here. Dashami ended at 02:44, before it. Ekadashi ends at 02:10 Thu, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 17 Feb, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

Sunrise here, 06:50, came before Dashami ended at 07:14: this day reads Dashami. Ekadashi ends at 06:40 Thu, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ekadashi: it is kshaya.

Sunrise here, 06:38, came after Dashami ended at 02:44: this day reads Ekadashi.

The night of Tue 25 Feb ran from sunset 17:25 Tue to sunrise 06:38, 13 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 52 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 17:27, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 21 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:27 to 06:36 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 38 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′. Purva Ashadha spans 253°20′–266°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 253°20′. It leaves at 03:09 Thu, for Uttara Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 313.3° + 255.3° = 568.6°, one full turn and 208.6°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 14:32, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ekadashi is Bava and the second Balava. Bava runs until 14:25, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 02:10 Thu.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:36 Thu, so the hours after midnight still belong to Budhawara.

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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Mar, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 3 Mar, with the Sun in Kumbha, begins Phalguna. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Phalguna here, and Magha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 12 Apr 2002, 21:21 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 314.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
