🚶 आज की यात्रा — Today's Walk

11 steps · festival walk
Today is Krishna Janmāṣṭamī — its dedicated walk.
Bhāgavata 10.3 (birth at Mathurā) + BG 4.7-8 + 10.8 (Krishna as svayaṁ bhagavān).

🌌 Cosmic-Historical Resonance

Today's Kṛṣṇa Aṣṭamī + Rohiṇī alignment also occurred on:
-3226-07-09Bhagavān Krishna's birth at Mathurā (same Kṛṣṇa Aṣṭamī + Rohiṇī)

🌌 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).

Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch)1868806.27 · 5116.6 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight

Ayanāṁśa (Lahiri)24.0720° · precession offset · grows ~50.29″/yr
