🌌 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 | 5115 · Kali-5115 |
|---|---|
| Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch) | 1867952.27 · 5114.3 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight |
| Julian Day | 2456417.770833 · universal astronomical day-count |
| Ayanāṁśa (Lahiri) | 24.0394° · precession offset · grows ~50.29″/yr |
| Sun-Moon angle (elongation) | 300.60° · determines today's tithi (12° = 1 tithi · so 26/30) |
