🪷 1608 Amāvasya Calendar · 12 New Moons

The lunar darkness of every Hindu month · most-auspicious for pitr-tarpaṇa and ancestor-offerings

पितृणामर्यमा चास्मि
"Among the Pitṛs I am Aryamā." — Bhagavad-Gītā 10.29 — every Amāvasya is the moment when the pitṛ-loka receives the strongest invocation through tarpaṇa

1608 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.
