FAQs

It links dharma-practice to cosmic order: vows, festival observances, and rites should be performed at the correct lunar times, showing that spiritual discipline is harmonized with sacred time (kāla).

Bhakti is made steady through regulated observance—fasts and holy days are not random but aligned to the lunar calendar, helping devotees maintain consistent vrata and worship with scriptural timing.

Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa (astronomy/astrology): lunar reckoning determines parvan and fasting schedules, while Jupiter’s measure is used to define the Prabhava-type year characteristics (samvatsara system).
