1/19

 All Hindu festivals are celebrated as per Hindu Calendar. Lot of Hindus want to learn abt it but cud not get proper article

This thread is in the simplest language n after reading this Hindu calendar will be as easy as English calendar

So lets start
2
First what is common between English Calendar (EC) n Hindu Calendar (HC)

- Both have 12 months in a year
- Both have 30 days month
3
Now what's different-

- HC have exactly 30 days in all months but EC have 28, 30, 31 in different months
- EC have 24 hours days but in HC day can be less than 24 hours or can be more than 24 hours also
4
- In EC new date starts at midnight 00:00 AM but in HC new date can start at any time of day like navmi was today up to 1 PM after that dashmi started.
- EC is based on solar cycle, HC is based on Lunar (moon) cycle
5
Now the big one
in EC date is presented in mm/dd/yyyy format
like Feb/25th/2022

In HC we have one more parameter n that is fortnight (FF)
In HC we write : mm/ff/dd/yyyy
Phalgun/krishna/10th/2078

So in HC a month is further divided in 2 fortnights (15 days)
6
These 2 fortnights r-
1. Krishna Paksha (1st fortnight)
2. Shukla Paksha (2nd fortnight)

U just need to know 2 rules to understand Hindu Calendar n those 2 rules r-

7
Rule No 1 : If it is krishna paksha then its first fortnight of month (1-15 date) n if it is Shukla Paksha then its 2nd fortnight of month(16th - 30th date)

Rule No 2 : If it is Amavasya its 15th day of month, If it is Purnima its last that means 30th day of the month

That's it
Congratulations u just learnt how to read Hindu Calendar

so if it
Krishna panchmi = 5th day of month
Amavasya = 15th day
Shukla pratipada= 16th day
Shukla dashmi = 25th day
Poornima = 30th day
9
These r the 12 Hindu months in chronological order
Chaitra (1st Month)
Vaisakha
Jyaistha
Asadha
Shravana
Bhadra
Ashwin
Kartika
Mārgasirsa
Pausha
Magha
Phalguna (12th Month)

If u want to remember them then remember them in duos like chaitra-vaisakh, jeth-ashadh, savan-bhado..
10
Normally there is difference of 3-4 months in EC and HC (HC 3-4 months behind EC)
So if 3-4 month of EC is going on (March - April) then it will 1st month of HC
12th month of EC (Dec) will be 9th - 10th month of HC
11
So now u know if it is
Chitra/Shukla/9th
It means it is 24th day of 1st Hindu month
That's the birthday of Shri Ram - Ramnavami

If it is
Bhadra/Krishna/8th
Its 8th day of 6th hindu month
Its birthday of Lord Krishna
12
Now u have learnt HC then try to find out festival dates, I m giving few-
Mahashivratri - Phalgun/Krishna/14th
Diwali - Kartik/Amawasya
Hanuman Jayanti - Chaitra/Shukla/14th
Holi - Phalgun/Poornima

Did u observe ? Holi dahan is celebrated on last days of last month of year.
13
n Color wali Holi is played on next day that is 1st day of 1st month of year but we dont celebrate new year on that day. why ?
Coz first fortnight of month is krishna paksha
Shukla paksha is considered more auspicious so new year is celebrated on 16th day of 1st month that is
Chaitra/Shukla/1st

Last day - Poornima (Full moon)
1-14th day of month - Krishna paksh (size of moon keep decreasing)
15th day - Amavasya - (No moon)
16th - 29th day - shukla paksha (moon size
kept increasing)
30th day - Poornima - Full moon
15
Now can u see moon in sky n estimate the date ?

Then tell which tithi moon is this 👇
It sud be either krishna/14th
or
Shukla/1st
Now when u read newspaper then find out what is
mm/ff/dd/yy of that day
Slowly slowly u will find become habitual of it.
17
Do u know there is significance of every tithi, every thithi have some associated devta, every tithi have some allowed n some not allowed, some direction, some stuff.
We will talk abt it in next thread.
For today, I m stopping here.
18
Just want to tell one thing more, there r 2 Hindu calendar system available in India
Amanta (month end on amavasya)
Purnimanta (month end of Poornima)

I shared her Purnimanta system that is more popular in North India

(MAJOR NOTE) The reason Manafort took over Trump's campaign in just 3 weeks despite being hired as a mere delegate counter is that ROGER STONE initiated a whisper campaign against Corey Lewandowski. That campaign started...days after Manafort returned from meeting with WikiLeaks.

2/ Stone and Manafort are longtime business partners; we'd expect Manafort to tell Stone what Assange told him, and for him to expect Stone to then pressure the campaign not only to hire him but quickly elevate him.

And who was Stone in touch with at the campaign? Trump himself.

3/ I bet you Manafort's late March emails are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime business associate Roger Stone. And I bet Roger Stone's late March phone calls are very interesting and that some of them are to/from his longtime friend Donald Trump.

4/ At the end of March 2016, Trump suddenly convenes a NatSec meeting. At that meeting he directs his NatSec team to change the RNC platform in July to benefit Putin. Who later takes credit for that change?

Paul Manafort's business associate, Kremlin agent Konstantin Kilimnick.

5/ Why did Donald Trump suddenly convene a NatSec meeting 3 days after he finally hired Manafort? Why did he issue a pro-Kremlin directive at that meeting that Manafort's camp would later take credit for? What did Manafort tell Trump in the days leading up to that NatSec meeting?

Some people really benefit from hearing advice that everyone knows, for the same reason we keep schools open despite every subject in them having been taught before.

In that spirit, here's some quick Things Many People Find Too Obvious To Have Told You Already.

Your idea is not valuable, at all. All value is in the execution. You think you are an exception; you are not. You should not insist on an NDA to talk about it; nobody serious will engage in contract review over an idea, and this will mark you as clueless.

Technologists tend to severely underestimate the difficulty and expense of creating software, especially at companies which do not have fully staffed industry leading engineering teams ("because software is so easy there, amirite guys?")

Charge more. Charge more still. Go on.

The press is a lossy and biased compression of events in the actual world, and is singularly consumed with its own rituals, status games, and incentives. The news necessarily fails to capture almost everything which happened yesterday. What it says is important usually isn't.

Companies find it incredibly hard to reliably staff positions with hard-working generalists who operate autonomously and have high risk tolerances. This is not the modal employee, including at places which are justifiably proud of the skill/diligence/etc of their employees.
