What is Panchang & Why It Matters?
The Panchang, often referred to as the Vedic calendar, is a traditional Hindu almanac that details the precise calculation of time and cosmic influences. It is based on five elements:
-
Tithi (Lunar Date)
-
Nakshatra (Star Constellation)
-
Yoga (Lunar Day Combination)
-
Karana (Half-Tithi Period)
-
Vaar (Day of the Week)
Using these components, Panchang offers detailed insights into:
-
Auspicious (Shubh) and inauspicious (Ashubh) timings
-
Sunrise and sunset times
-
Planetary positions (especially Sun and Moon)
-
Festive calendars and fasting days
-
Timing for rituals, marriages, housewarmings, and business inaugurations
Why Today’s Ekadashi is Significant
Ekadashi, especially in the month of Shravan, holds religious significance. Devotees of Lord Vishnu often observe fasting, offer prayers, and refrain from consuming grains and certain foods. It's believed that observing Ekadashi with devotion brings peace, prosperity, and purification of the soul.
Final Thought
Whether you're planning a puja, fasting, or just want to align your day with Vedic wisdom, today’s Panchang offers all the information you need. Avoid Rahukal for major tasks, and if observing Ekadashi, stay mindful of your spiritual practices and dietary rules.
