The difference between the Rasi Charts
of Indian System comprising of Nakshatras (starts with Ashwini Star) and the
Western System based on Seasonal set up is noted as Ayanamsa.
The
Astrological System adopted by Indians is called the " Nirayana (or)
Sidereal " System, While Western Astro-analysis is called " Sayana
(or) Tropical " system.
Sayana means inclusive of Ayanamsa
while Nirayana means exclusive of Ayanamsa.
The date of Coincidence of the Tropical
& Sidereal Zodiacs was found to be 285 A.D on 22-March at 21H:27M(IST) as
Zero Ayanamsa by Great Astro-Mathematician Lahiri.[According to Calender
Reforms Committee].
Various Scholars have different
opinions on Ayanamsa Date:
- Cheiro - 388 B.C
- D. Davidson - 317 B.C
- G Massay - 255 B.C
- Therens - 125 B.C
- P Covneez - 0
- Cyril Fagan - 221 A.D
- Lahiri - 285 A.D
- Krishna Murthy - 297 A.D
- P.S Ray - 319 A.D
- B.V Raman - 397 A.D
- Sepharial - 498 A.D
- Madhura Krishna Murthy Sastry - 411 A.D
- Swamy Kannu Pillai - 532 A.D
Degrees in Sayana system - Ayanamsa =
Degrees in Nirayana system. This formula is useful to calculate the sphutas of
Graha, Bhava and Lagnas.
Today Ayanamsa
[Chitrapaksha/ Lahiri] = 24˚:3': 48" {24-Oct-2014}
Good information to astrology students.
ReplyDeleteTropical delta cancri as on 2000AD=128:24
ReplyDeleteMaha bhaskareeya Siddhanta and lalla Siddhanta pushya=105:0
So,MBS and Lalla pushya ayanamsa=23:24 as on 2000 AD
Using modern precession rate of 50.29 sec per year it's implied as on 1/1/1900=22:0:6.45
Lahiri ayanamsa=22:27 as on 1900
MBS lalla Pushya ayanamsa zero year=325AD
Interestingly Raman ayanamsa zero year of 397AD can be arrived by fixing delta cancri pushya at 106:0 in which almost all Siddhantas agree except Maha bhaskareeya Siddhanta and lalla Siddhanta
