For this must be applied the equation of time in order to get the mean time, i. The equation of time at a moment is positive or negative according as the apparent time is less or greater than Mean Time.
Find the Sidereal Time at which this particular degree of Sun's sayana longitude referred to above is on the cusp of the tenth-house of Greenwich or any place. This will, give the Right ascension expressed in time of the Sun ; or we shall call this, for the sake of convenience, the Sun Time. Example 9.
October , as applied to apparent time at sunrise,, at Bangalore. Sayana Longitude of Sun at G. October Ifi. This must be added to the Apparent Time of sunrise in order to get the Mean Time of sunrise. We add this because Sun Time is greater than Sidereal Time.
Mean Time of Sunrise and of Sunset. Add or subtract the Equation of Time to or from the apparent time of sunrise or of sunset , the respective Mean Time is obtained. The Equation of Time is positive, i.
Example The apparent time of sunrise was 7 10 A. Easy Method for Finding the Mean Time of Sunrise and of Sunset,— I have elaborately discussed in the above pages, the method of calculating the Apparent Time of sunrise and of sunset for any place on any day, with suitable examples according to both the Hindu and Modern systems and the determination of Equation of Time as applied to the apparent time of sunrise or of sunset in order to obtain the Mean Time of local sunrise or of sunset I leave it to the discretion of the reader to choose the method he best prefers.
Those who are not familiar with the method of consulting the trigonometrical and Logarthmic Tables, a knowledge of which is essential for applying modern methods are requested to adopt the following rules:— 1. Calculate the Apparent Time of sunrise and of sunset according to the Hindu method as given in Article Then instead of working out the problem for ascertaining the Equation of Time, the reader may conveniently find out the Equation of Time by referring to Table III, given at the end of the book.
Then apply this Equation of Time to get the Mean Time of sunrise and of sunset by adopting the rules contained in Article Hindu Chronology.
It begins with a Tatpara and ends in a Kalpa equal to 4,,, Sidereal years. The Hindu day an apparent solar day begins from sunrise and ends with the next sunrise. I shall also introduce to the reader the three kinds of days now in vogue, though it is not worthwhile wasting any time over remembering them. This is known as Nakshatra Dina among the Hindus and this is the time the fixed stars take to come round the Pole once. This is longer than the Sidereal day by about four minutes.
Two kinds of months are generally in vogue among the Hindus, viz. The Chandramana is based upon the movements of the Moon in the celestial circle. The Solar month is the time, the Sun takes to move in one sign. The month varies in duration according to the number of days the Sun takes to move in a sign.
When the Sun enters into the new sign during the course of the lunation, the month is intercalary Adhika Masa and is baptised by the name of that which precedes or succeeds it with some prefix to distinguish it from the regular month. The Hindus have a Solar rather Sidereal year, which is their astronomical year, and a Lunar year which is their civil year.
The lengths of the various years are as follows according to modern calculations :— D. The Tropical year Local Mean Time. When the Sun is crossing the meridian of any place, it is tfvelve o'clock or midday at that place according to " Local Time". It is noon of local time on any day when the Sun reaches its highest point in the day.
It is to be specially noted that the time shown by clocks and watches at any particular day is hardly the correct local mean time. Such times are subject to rectification by observing the course of events in one's life. Great care should be taken to see that watches and clocks, from which birth-times are recorded are accurate. Therefore, the first thing is to ascertain the correct local mean time of birth. The local mean time of a place depends upon its longitude, evidently terrestrial.
In all Hindu astrological calculations the meridian of Ujjain was being taken when reckoning time or longitude, but now Greenwich is taken as the centre for such purposes. The local time of a place L. In other words, if it is 12 noon at Greenwich, it will be 12 h. To reduce longitude into time, simply divide the number of degrees, minutes, etc. Dividing this by 15 we get 5 h. The place being East of Greenwich, it will be 5 h. The local mean time can be obtained by adding to or subtracting from the Greenwich Mean Time, four minutes to every degree of longitude, according as the place is East or West of Greenwich.
The L. Standard Time. This standard time, as a rule, is the local time of some most important town in the country. If the birth is recorded in L. In India Standard Time was introduced on and it is about 5 h. Before this, probably the Sun Dial Time was in existence, in which case, this can be converted into L. For births that have occurred after , if the time is recorded in Standard Time, it must be cqpverted into L.
Generally our clocks show Standard Time. For instance, Bangalore is 5 h. East of Greenwich ; when it is noon at Greenwich the L. Fast of G. Suryodayadi Jananakala Ghatikaha. First ascertain the local mean time of birth and of sunrise and then apply the following rule. Sunrise L. Birth Time L.
Number of ghatis passed from sunrise up to birth Born on at A. Find Suryodayadi Jananakala Ghatikaha. Hindu Almanac. As such I have reserved discretion to expound those principles in a separate book, and for the present, simply describe the method commonly adopted by all astrological stuHents and adepts. Any reliable almanac will serve our purpose. There are still a few standard Panchangas almanacs which can be trusted for astrological purposes.
Method of Making Graha Sphutas. Find out the date of the birth in the almanac and note down all the details given for that day. If no planets are marked on the day of birth, then trace back and find out the position of the planet on the date, nearest to that of birth. It will be found that the planet's position will have been marked in Nakshatras Constellations and Padas Quarters , with time of entry in ghatis into the particular Pada.
Find out the time at which the same planet enters the next quarter of the constellation. Mark the interval in ghatis between the entry of the planet into these two quarters. Mark also the interval between the first entry and the birth time and proceed as follows:— Formula a For all Planets. The interval between the first entry and birth , 2.
Formula b For the Moon. Its Nirayana longitude is obtained. Sun enters 2nd of Chitta at Ghatis. Time elapsed from the entry of the Sun into the 2nd of Chitta which is nearest to the birth up to the moment of birth : — Gh.
Applying formula a : — — 90 not Q" - 2 28 9 This distance, the Sun has passed in the second pada or quarter of Chitta. We know that the last three quarters of Uttara, the four of Hasta and the first two of Chitta constitute Kanya Virgo. This added to the number of degrees passed in the second of Chitta, viz. Dhanista lasts for 0 39 Subtracting from 60 Do 57 14 Duration of Dhanista 57 53 Satabhisha lasts for 2 46 Subtracting from 60 Do do 54 19 Duration of Satabhisha 57 Poorvabhadra lasts for 5 41 Subtracting from 60 Do 50 Duration of Poorvabhadra 56 29 Aquarius is made up of: last two quarters of Dhanista plus Satabhisha plus first 3 of Poorvabhadra.
Nirayana Longitudes of Planets. Lagna or Ascendant;; —Lagna or the ascendant is that point of the cliptic, which is at any time on the eastern horizon, and is expressed in signs, degrees, etc. Solar Months. The twelve solar months are named after the twelve zodiacal signs. On the first day of Aries the first degree of that particular sign is at the eastern horizon, and the remaining signs are gradually exposed till the next day when at the sunrise, the second degree of Aries will be at the eastern horizon.
The sunrise determines the IMaya Lagna and the degree and the sign in which the Sun rises, will be the Ascendant at that moment. Determination of Lagna. Ascertain the sign of the ecliptic the Sun is in, the degrees he has traversed in it, and those he has yet to pass through. The number of degrees he has gained are the Bhukthamsas, and those to cover, the Bhogyamsas. Now from the Rasimanas of the place, find out the Bhogya Kala, i. Now from the Ishta Kala the time for which the Lagna is to be found subtract the Bhogya time and from the remainder subtract the periods of rising of the next successive signs as long as you can.
Then at last you will find the sign, the rising period of which being greater than the remainder, you will not be able to subtract and which is consequently called the Ashuddha sign and its rising period the Ashuddha rising.

But for our purpose, we shall maintain this distinction, we have called attention to above, in regard to mathematical astrology and astronomy; and deem that a fair acquaintance with the princi- ples of mathematical astrology are absolutely essential for successful predictions.
A noteworthy sign of this century seems to be a general awakening in the minds of the educated classes to institute a scientifte inquiry into ancient subjects like astrology and astronomy. The arguments advanced by them, in favour of such a theory, are generally unsound and cannot stand the test of actual demonstra- tion.
Are we to reject the Hindu astronomical calculations formulated and adopted by such celebrated exponents of the celestial science as Varahamihira, Bhaskara, Sripathi and others, because they seem to clash with modern ones, whi accept the ancient astrological principles? A Varahamihira or a Kalidasa, who has bequeathed to us such master-pieces as Brihat Jataka and Uttara Kalamritha could not have been so ignortant or indifferent as to give room for such fallacies, inconsistencies and errors which we are trying to find out in their writings.
It would be the height of folly and absurdity to estimate their conclusions in matters of astronomy and astrology in the light of our own developments or achievements in those branches of knowledge. Modern decisions and con- clusions cannot be taken as criteria for judging the aceuracy or otherwise of the ancient Hindu Astronomers. It is true that no satisfactory agreement could be found between the writings of any two people even, in ancient books.
But what of it? Doall modern calculations tally with each other? Certainly not. Take for instance the measurement of terrestrial lati- tudes. Each reference book, an authority in its own way, differs decidedly from the other. Lat; which of these is correct? Therefore it is useless to reject the ancient methods of calculations completely, because they clash with ours and replace them entirely by those of modern times.
Most of the theories of to-day are simply tentative ; they have not, as yet, been established. The statements of some of the astronomers are really ludicrous and excite sympathy in the hearts of sober men for such perverted views.
Modern calculations alone cannot be accepted as correct or accurate for astrological purposes and the ancient ones rejected.
Moreover the ancient Hindu astronomers dreaded secular interference in matters of astronomy for astrological purposes. The ancient Maharishis were past masters of the first magnitude in almost all branches of knowledge. The plane of observation employed by them was certainly quite different from that of the modern scientists. The art of Yoga is peculiar to them. Not being satisfied with the nature of the phenomena revealed by glasses and other material objects, they dived deep into the unfathomable depths of Yoga by means of which they were able to see things in their reality, face to face.
This clearly suggests, that to get at truth, so far as the celestial and distant objects are concerned, we must view them by something other than glasses, as there are many media between them and the earth, whose refracting and dispersing powers, we do not know much about.
Thus they had the gift of Yoga, the fragments of which we see even unto this day, which helped them toa great extent in their expeditions in unveiling the mysteries surrounding the phenomenon of the celestial bodies. Is the first figure wrong because it differs from the second? The Hindu method yields as correct results as the modern method. The perfection of predictive astrology among the ancient Hindus was really marvellous; and to-day, we have lost that power.
Even with sound mathematical basis, our predictions are generally vague and indefinite—except for a few, made by the real experts in this science. Is it because, our inductive faculty is marred by the too much precision we aim at, or are we on the wrong tract.
Are we not wasting much of our precious time by entering into profitless discus- sions and controversies as regards house division, aserebing rulerships to the so called newly discovered planets, finding the rationale of the significations of the different houses of the Zodiac, etc.
The greater portion of our time must be devoted to the practical study of astrology. This requires a moderate knowledge of astrological calculations.
For instance, in determining Ayurdaya, Maraka Grahas death inflicting planets and the time of death, we should ascertain the relative sources of strength and weakness of the different planets. This requires a fair knowledge of Shadbalas. And with our present knowledge in the predictive art, we do not require to be so precise as to find out. Bearing this in mind, if the reader goes through this volume, without any bias or prepos- session, he will really find much useful informa- tion presented in quite an intelligible manner.
Throughout the book, in the examples worked out, fractions less than half a Ghati or 30" of Arc have been rejected. If the reader is patient enough he can consider the minutest divisions and maintain the degree of accuracy he re In the determination of Madhya ne 10th Bhava , the Hindus do not consider the Sidereal Time of Birth.
Besides, the Bhojya and Bhuktha portions of a sign are found out by the application of rule of three assuming that equal arcs ascend at equal times.
These two are considered, by some fecent writers as fallacies or errors. They had their own reasons which remain inexplicable to assume so many things, which look controvertible to-day. We have not the slightest justifiable ground to label them as incorrect and eulogise our own conclusions as eminently correct.
We have Jost the power of Yoga, we cannot see things face to face by physical aids. And hence we can neither depreciate the one nor appreciate the other.
