🚶 आज की यात्रा — Today's Walk

🚶 Maṅgala Walk (मङ्गल यात्रा)

7 steps · graha walk
Dedicated festival walk for Indirā Ekādaśī · Ekādaśī is not live yet; Maṅgalavāra (Tuesday) — its presiding graha's walk.

Right action + BG 2.31-38 (kṣatriya-dharma).

🌌 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	5100 · Kali-5100
Ahargaṇa (days from Kali epoch)	1862578.27 · 5099.6 years since 3102 BCE Ujjain midnight
Julian Day	2451043.770833 · universal astronomical day-count
Ayanāṁśa (Lahiri)	23.8338° · precession offset · grows ~50.29″/yr
Sun-Moon angle (elongation)	310.92° · determines today's tithi (12° = 1 tithi · so 26/30)
