🌌 Cosmic-Historical Resonance

Today's Kṛṣṇa Ekādaśī + Aśvinī alignment also occurred on:
-3101-02-18Kali Yuga Epoch (same Aśvinī)

🌌 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-13 · 13 years before Kali
Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch)-5053.73 · -13.8 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight
Julian Day583411.770833 · universal astronomical day-count
Ayanāṁśa (Lahiri)-47.5961° · precession offset · grows ~50.29″/yr
Sun-Moon angle (elongation)306.18° · determines today's tithi (12° = 1 tithi · so 26/30)
