August 16, 2008 - Purnima - Celebrating the appearance of Lord Balarama - Partial Lunar Eclipse MoreTotal Solar Eclipse - 1 August 2008 Here we go again. This time, total solar eclipse on Friday, August 1st. (Lunar eclipse coming up on the 16th, but more about that later.) MoreThus spake the old curmudgeon That dangblasted Old Curmudgeon who is me has just embarked on his third "Saturn Cycle," the official entrance into old age. According to most people who follow "The Astrology of the Hindus," a Saturnian time of planetary involvement, especially Sade Sati Number Three, is generally described thusly: #@%^&*/><@! .

by Srimati Abhaya Mudra devi dasi More Warning: Another Eclipse on the HorizonAs Shakespeare noted "Eclipses foretell the fall of kings." It looks like this particular eclipse is being especially unkind to the Republican administration of the now-unsalvageable President Bush. This is a political party in which every member is a liability to the others. More
Lunar Eclipse 28 August 2007This year the Divine Appearance Day of Lord Balarama will bless the world on 27 August 2007, corresponding to sacred day of Shravana Shukla Purnima, when the full moon will be transiting the sign of Kumbha or Aquarius. More

Upcoming
Eclipse this Gaura PurnimaThe eclipse coming is on Gaur Purnima in the sign of Leo, Mahaprabhuji's janma rashi, and must be very momentuous indeed. More
September Eclipses This
coming week we can look forward to the first of two eclipses this
month, a partial lunar eclipse on Thursday, September 7, 2006, followed
close on its heels by an annular solar eclipse on September 22nd, the
4th Friday of the month. More Lingering Effects of Eclipses The
45th day, or thereabouts, following an eclipse is a particularly
sensitive period as it marks the end of an E.F.I. Forty-five days from
the total eclipse of the Sun in Pisces on 28 March 2006 is May 13th.
Thus the disasters in Nigeria and the USA, as well as the impending
explosion of Mount Merapi, are right on cue as caused by the last
eclipse a month and a half ago. More Eclipses and Vedic
Cosmography and Astronomy In the
Vedic literature it is often mentioned that Rahu causes solar and lunar
eclipses by passing in front of the sun or moon. To many people, this
seems to blatantly contradict the modern explanation of eclipses, which
holds that a solar eclipse is caused by the passage of the moon in
front of the sun and a lunar eclipse is caused by the moon's passage
through the earth's shadow. However... More Sri Chaitanya

Vrindavanadas Thakur has recorded in his biography of the Lord called Chaitanya

Mahaprabhu: His Glorious Appearance (Part I) The
astrological calculations regarding the Lord's horoscope given by Sri
Annada Pathak in his article on Sri Chaitanya which appeared in April
1978 issue of Vidya are absolutely correct.

News Alert - March
Forecast
The
news media is reeling with a major maritime disaster that occured
Friday 3 February. An Egyptian ferry boat carrying over fifteen hundred
unfortunate souls has sunk due to bad weather in the Red Sea, and only
a few were saved. When I spotted the story on my computer this
(Saturday) morning, I checked my Panchang for the date of the next
eclipse. Sure enough... More Sword from the Sky
First the details for the astronomers amongst us: According to
Trivedi's American Panchang, Eclipse Eleanor will be a partial
eclipsing of the Moon, visible in central and western North America,
Central America, Eastern Asia, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand and in
most parts of the Pacific Ocean. More Pakistan Earthquake
Predicted in Advance by Vedic Astrologer When
you came last, we discussed Vedic astrology and I made a prediction
that came true in the few days following our
last meeting. I predicted that a terrible event such as an earthquake
would be soon taking place in the territory of
"Old Bharat", an area of the Earth ruled by Virgo from Eastern Iran to
Indonesia, including Pakistan, Afghanistan,
India, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Thailand, Cambodia, etc. Two days
after the prediction at our meeting Pakistan
suffered its worst earthquake ever, a 7.6er centered in the nation's
capital, Islamabad. More Vedic Calendar for 2004

Just
released: Trivedi's American Panchang. What is a panchang? A panchang
is a Vedic Calendar. Incidentally, the very word "calendar" comes from
the Sanskrit word for time or kala. This etymology provides strong
evidence that the means of measuring time is originally a Vedic
science, one that spread from India to all corners of the world.
