చట్ట బధం సరె ధర్మ బధమెన?

మన ముఖ్య మంత్రి శ్రి రాజశేఖర రెడ్డి, ఆయన కి ఉన్న 618 ఎకరాల అస్స్య్నెడ్ భూముల్ని ప్రభుత్వానికి తిరిగిచెసిన విషయం అందరికి తెలిసిందె.
ఇండియ టిమెస్ వార్త శిర్షిక లొ, ముఖ్య మంత్రి చేసింది ఛట్ట బధంగ సరి అయినదెనని అంతొంది. ముఖ్య మంత్రి కి తమ ప్రభుత్వం ఎంచెస్తొందొ ముందుగానే తెలిసి ఉండి ఉంటుంది కావున తన భూముల్ని తిరిగి ఇఛేసారు. ఛట్టభధంగ అయినదె అయిన ధర్మభధమయినదా?

Panchanga

Hi,

Every auspicious occasion for Indians and followers of Sanatana Dharama (loosely called Hinduism) will be held on good and bad days.

How do you define good and bad days?
To figure out what is a good day and what is not a good day, an almanac called Panchanga is used.

A day is classified as good or bad based on five properties or panch angas = panchanga.

The five angas that determine the relative auspicious ness of time are

the tithi active at sunrise the vaasara or weekday the nakshatra in which the moon resides at sunrise the yoga active at sunrise the karana active at sunrise

How are these properties calculated is explained here.

Gayathri Manthra

Tat Savithur Varenyam Bhargo Devasya DheemahiDhiyo Yonah Prachodayat

We meditate on that most adorable, most desirable and most enchanting luster (effulgence) of our supreme Lord, who is our creator, inspirer and source of eternal Joy. May this light inspire and illumine our intellect (and dispel the darkness).

Another Interprtation
The earth (bhur), the planets (bhuvah), and the galaxies (swah) are moving at a very great velocity, the sound produced is Om, (the name of formless God.) That God (tat), who manifests Himself in the form of light of suns (savitur) is worthy of bowing / respect (varenyam). We all, therefore, should meditate (dheemahi) upon the light (bhargo) of that deity (devasya) and also do chanting of Om. May He (yo) guide in right direction (prachodayat) our (nah) intellect dhiyo
