उत्तरायण/दक्षिणायन — Today's Ayana-Yoga (BG 8.23-26)

Krishna teaches: when the yogī departs in the Sun-north-going (Uttarāyaṇa) period + bright fortnight (Śukla-pakṣa), the path is devayāna — to Brahma-loka with no return. Bhīṣma chose this exact configuration for his mahā-prasthāna (25 Dec 3138 BCE — verified in Vidhyamitra at /day/-3137-12-25).

AyanaUttarāyaṇa
SignificanceSun north-going · Devatā-day · favorable for mahā-prasthāna (BG 8.24 — agniḥ jyotir ahaḥ śuklaḥ ṣaṇ-māsā uttarāyaṇam)
PakṣaKṛṣṇa-pakṣa
Pakṣa significanceDark fortnight · waning moon · associated with pitṛyāna path
Path indicationMixed
Bhīṣma alignment✓ Today is in Uttarāyaṇa — Bhīṣma's chosen window
Practical noteMixed configuration — yogī of BG 8.27 ("naite sṛtī pārtha jānan yogī muhyati kaścana") sees both paths and is not deluded.
