Great stuff. The way you unfold one by one is an absolute delight as it makes the complex topic interesting and easy to grasp for the viewers. Eagerly waiting for the sauramana and i believe Tamil calendar is based on that and would like to know why Tamil new year is almost coming every year on April 13th or 14th in Christian calendar
Exceptional stuff Sridhar ji. It will benefit our school children tremendously to have this available and learn from it. Especially with subtitles+/audio in our bhaashaas
Many thanks for putting in so much effort to generate awareness about how scientific is our Hindu calendar. I strongly recommend especially to younger generations to watch and feel proud about it! 🙏😊
This is a wonderful series, I have seen few episodes and your approach so simple. I am learning a lot !! Neevu. Khasagi class madodire heli, I would love to enroll :-) Thanks for making this series.
Started watching this series. I wanted to learn about how the Hindu Calendar system works and I was very happy to discover this channel. I like how we are progressing on the calendar front but what I love is the initial commentary on what's around you. And it is a great place to be.
Thank you. I would like to get this channel in front of more people like you, who are curious and wanting to learn and understand. Pls do circulate this channel to other like-minded people in your network.
Also, thanks for the feedback. While the Stellarium animations are the crux, I was beginning to wonder of the preamble narrations are worth the effort.
🎉❤ very respected sir 🙏..excellent information and presentation 👏 👌..thank you sir for your valuable information 👍..please keep posting videos like this ❤
Thank you :-) Pls do forward this channel link (youtube.com/@ahargana) to all the whatsapp groups you are a member of. I would like this knowledge to spread wide among the Hindu community.

Hello this is slightly confusing, when the chandravarsha ends in phalguna masa, Krishna pasha, and is slightly off from where it began, because it's 354 days long, won't the nakshatra position at which the next new moon occurs will keep changing considerably every year, till it's not equated again with adhik masa? so how can month names remain constant every year ?
Your understanding is correct. Hence, Surya Siddhanta has a verse (Chapter 14 Verse 16): "To the months Karttika etc., belong, as concerns' the conjunction (samayoga), the asterisms Krttika etc., two by two : but three months, namely the last, the next to the last, and the fifth, have triple' asterisms." This effectively maps the 27 nakshatras into 12 months. The samayoga referred to here is full moon.
Great explanation in all the videos. Good audio and video quality. 👍🏻 Paksa what you mean is Pirai in Tamil? I have two more questions? 1. You mentioned that there is a shortfall of 11 days. That is 354 days. When we calculate per month, it comes around 29.5? How this 0.5 days get corrected? 2. How this shortfall of 11 days get corrected?
Thanks Vasant. In my understanding of Tamil, pirai means cresent moon but valapirai and theypirai mean shukla paksha and krishna paksha respectively. For both your questions, the answer is a process called intercalation, i.e. addiing a few extra days to one calendar to sunchronise it with another calendar. I will get into this later after I cover sauramana too. But there is a more fundamental issue: the Tamil Chitirai, Vaikasi etc. Is completely different from the Surya Siddhanta Chaitra, Vaishaka etc. I will cover this in the next episode.
Chaitra shukla pratipada is the first day of a chandra varsha. It should be called varshādi but the term used today is yugādi. The speculation you refer to must have arisen from the usage of this term "yuga ādi". On the other hand mesha sankranti is the first day of a saura varsha. That too is referred to as yugadi. Thus we have two candidates for the beginning of creation!Such speculations cannot be conclusively proven.
@@Ahargana thanks. Be it your UML lecture way back in 2001-02, or Indian Calendar system, you deep research and passion to explain in simple terms is simply superb 👍😃

Understood. I am working to improve the voice-over of the Stellarium animations first. The outdoor sound is more difficult to fix.
I have fixed the sound problem in Episode 4. Thanks for your feedback.

I read that the creation of the universe (Shrishti) started on Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, which is why this day is called Yugadi. Is this true?
Chaitra shukla pratipada is the first day of a chandra varsha. It should be called varshādi but the term used today is yugādi. The speculation you refer to must have arisen from the usage of this term "yuga ādi".
On the other hand mesha sankranti is the first day of a saura varsha. That too is referred to as yugadi. Thus we have two candidates for the beginning of creation!Such speculations cannot be conclusively proven.
So to say, are we following luni-solar system?
