Shravana Putrada Ekadashi: every date in Myjava

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, 05:44 here. Dashami ended at 06:57 Thu, before it. Ekadashi ends at 06:10, when the lead reaches 132°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 4 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwadashi began at 06:10 and ended at 04:36 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:44 and 05:45 Sat. Friday reads Ekadashi and Saturday reads Trayodashi: Dwadashi is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Thu 15 Aug ran from sunset 20:04 Thu to sunrise 05:44, 9 h 40 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 38 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:44 to 20:02, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 47 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:02 to 05:45 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 12 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′. Mula spans 240°00′–253°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 250°. It leaves at 09:13, for Purva Ashadha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 119.6° + 251.4° = 371°, one full turn and 11°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 0°00′–13°20′ is the 1st, Vishkambha. It ends at 09:41, then Priti.

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 ended at 18:39 Thu, when the lead reached 126°; Vishti runs until 06:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:44 to 05:45 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Karka gives Shravana. The Sun enters Simha on 16 Aug, inside the month. The next new moon, 3 Sep, finds it in Simha and begins Bhadrapada.

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 4 Aug, with the Sun in Karka, began Shravana. This Shukla paksha reads Shravana in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 8 Apr 2024, 20:20 Mon. Since then the Sun has moved 124.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
