Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 11 Jun 2007

Smartas test Ekadashi at sunrise: it holds sunrise on Mon 11 Jun only, at 04:46: Mon 11 Jun. Vaishnavas test arunodaya: Dashami ended at 20:08 Sun, before it (03:10–04:46).

Parama 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, 04:46 here. Dashami ended at 20:08 Sun, before it. Ekadashi ends at 17:18, when the lead reaches 312°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 1 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Sun 10 Jun ran from sunset 20:51 Sun to sunrise 04:46, 7 h 55 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:46 to 20:52, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 0 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:52 to 04:46 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 59 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 01:25 Tue, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 55.9° + 0.7° = 56.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 53°20′–66°40′ is the 5th, Shobhana. It ends at 20:16, then Atiganda.

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 06:45, when the lead reaches 306°; Balava until 17:18.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:46 to 04:46 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 16 May 21:27 Wed to 15 Jun 05:13 Fri the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 12:22 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 15 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2007, 03:42 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 81.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2064; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1929.
