1602 Amāvasya Source-Anchor Spine
This route-proven spine lets a bhakta-reader or AI agent move from this annual Amāvasya calendar into the parent year, month, and day time-axis, sibling calendar companions, exact jyotiṣa/Gītā anchors, reader-local city/calculator application, Bindu, and philosophy. The reader applies it from their own kṣetra anywhere on Bhūmi; no founder-city is the universal center.
