🚶 आज की यात्रा — Today's Walk

12 steps · festival walk
Today is Mahā Śivarātri — its dedicated walk.
Śiva-stuti through Bhāgavata + Mahābhārata Anuśāsana.

🌌 Cosmic Time — Where This Moment Sits in the Mahāyuga

These five values anchor today within the Sūrya-Siddhānta time-architecture. Kali Year counts from the Kali-epoch (18 Feb 3102 BCE · midnight Ujjain · when Krishna's mortal-form departed). Ahargaṇa is the day-count since that epoch — the canonical time-coordinate used by every Vedic computation on this substrate. Julian Day is the astronomical universal day-number (continuous · no calendar discontinuities). Ayanāṁśa is the angular offset between sidereal (rāśi-based · the Vedic frame) and tropical (equinox-based) coordinates · currently growing at ~50.29″/year as Earth's axis precesses. Sun-Moon angle determines the tithi (0-360° elongation / 12° per tithi).

Kali Year-1622915 · 1622915 years before Kali
Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch)-592783970.73 · -1622987.4 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight
Julian Day-592195505.229167 · universal astronomical day-count
Ayanāṁśa (Lahiri)-22719.1694° · precession offset · grows ~50.29″/yr
Sun-Moon angle (elongation)343.21° · determines today's tithi (12° = 1 tithi · so 29/30)
