How To Select Lucky Names Using K.P.

Astrology
INTRODUCTION:
Though the fate of an individual is predestined according to past karmas of a person, miseries
suffered by a person can be reduced to a certain extent by taking recourse to remedial measures,
and by resorting to certain techniques to increase one?s quota of good-luck. Sincere prayers, acts
of charity, Vedic chants, devotion to Gurujis and sincere wishes from others) are known to reduce
karmic burden of an individual. Similarly nameology and numerology provide means to improve
one?s good luck, if correct principles are applied. This article is an attempt to throw a light on the
efficacy of using Krishnamurthy Paddathi for selecting lucky names that could reduce ill-effects
and guarantee good results.
WHAT IS IN A NAME?
The vibrations produced by a name have an impact on both the individual concerned and on
others in touch with that person. Psychological researches have revealed that persons respond
unconsciously to the message conveyed by the meaning and vibration of a name. It has been
found that persons with inappropriate names tend to suffer from low self-esteem.
Carl Jung, the famous psychoanalyst has said, archetypes (symbolisms that convey a certain idea,
like Rama ? righteousness, Duryodana ? jealousy , etc.) are firmly entrenched in the subconscious of all members in a society( These may be culture-specific, i.e, understood only by
members who are exposed to a particular culture). So, we should select such a name that will be
synchronous with the way in which we would like to the child to develop. For example, if you
would like your child to grow up and join the defence forces, the name should radiate and
convey a message of bravery; if you wish your child to be in show-biz, it should convey a certain
personal warmth and friendliness and so on.
Generally, some people choose the first alphabet of a name based on the moon constellation and
quarter (almost all almanacs carry this information). This has no real bearing on the individual?s
luck, as this is only a guideline for choosing the name of a person. When names of elders in the
family, or the family deity are chosen for the child, the above guideline need not be adhered to.
Even otherwise, there are many people who do not adhere to the above guideline.
Some Numerological principles:
Those with a belief in numerology choose a name in such a way that the total numerological
value of the name is synchronous with the birth number (the date of birth number, e.g., 13th will
reduce to 4, etc.) or the fate number (the total numerological value of the date for e.g. 1-10-2002
will reduce to 6). There are exhaustive numerological rules that govern the auspicious and

inauspicious results bestowed by names of different numerological values to persons born on

different dates.
Birth Number and Lucky name number
1 for 1
2 for 2,7
3 for 3,9
4 for 1
5 for Vibrates well with all numbers.
6 for 6,9
7 for 2, 7, 9.
8 for 5
9 for 3, 6, 9.
The numerological values of different English alphabets are as follows:
A, I, J, Q, Y = 1
B, K, R = 2
C, G, L, S = 3
D, M, T = 4
E, H, N, X = 5
U,V, W = 6
O, Z = 7
F, P = 8
Add the numerological value of the different alphabets in the name (including initials, and other
customarily used titles) to get the total numerological value of the name. The total numerological
value of the name should be favourable to the birth number (based on the date of birth). Each
number has certain specific qualities (for example 28 and 46 both add to 1, but indicate different

personality characteristics).
A NOVEL METHOD OF NAMEOLOGY COMBINING THE PRINCIPLES OF K.P.
ASTROLOGY, CHALDEAN NUMEROLOGY AND AKSHARA SHASHTRA:
In addition to numerological principles cited above, one could invoke the principles of K.P.
astrology in combination with classical astrological works like Chathura Sundari (dealing with
the influence of planets on Alphabets) to select a really lucky name for a child or business
organization. All of us know the efficacy of reciting the Sahasranaama of various deities. In the
same way, a name suitably selected based on this principle (combining the principles of
numerology, K.P.Astrology and Akshara Shastra propounded in Chathura Sundari) will work as a
mantra and boost the good luck of the individual.
The first Akshara (alphabet) of a name is the foundation of a good name. Similarly, the last
Akshara (alphabet) of a name gives the final impression. These two are the essence of a name.
All alphabets are the body of Goddess Saraswati and are in effect propitious mantras with certain
qualities. So, the first and last alphabets of a name should vibrate favourably with the benefic
points of an individual?s horoscope. To determine this, we must make use of the sub-lords of the
ascendant, moon, Fortuna, 3rd cusp, 5th cusp and the 11th cusp.
Of the four sub-lords mentioned, check which sub-lords are in the constellation of retrograde
planets and reject them. The others can be regarded as significators of a lucky name for an
individual or organisation.
THE ALPHABETS SIGNIFIED BY VARIOUS PLANETS:
Sun: Indicates vowel sounds a, aa, I, ii, u, uu, ru, roo, ai, o, ou.
Moon: Indicates the syllables ya, ra, la, va, ha.
Mars: In odd signs (Aries, Gemini, Leo, etc.) ka, ga, nga.
In even signs (Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, etc.) kha, gha.
Mercury: In odd signs ta, da, na.
In even signs tta, dda.
Jupiter: In odd signs tha,dha,na.
In even signs ttha, ddha.
Venus: In odd signs cha,ja, gna.
In even signs ccha,jha.

Saturn: In odd signs pa, ba, ma.

In even signs pha, bha.

Rahu and Ketu take on the significations of the sign lords and also denote sa, swa, sha, wa, la,
ksha, kshya.
While selecting names for business organisations, select the alphabets in such a way that they are
signified by appropriate significator planets in addition to the above mentioned rule. For
example, a courier service company should have alphabets signified by Mercury either as first or
last alphabet of the name. An industrial unit should have alphabets signified by Saturn.
THE EFFECTS OF THE ALPHABETS SIGNIFIED BY THE VARIOUS CUSPAL SUBLORDS:
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the ascendant sub-lord, the self-confidence
of the individual will be high. He will be undaunted in the face of difficulties in life and will
have a commanding presence (The person?s appearance will earn him respect from others
regardless of his status in life).
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the Moon sub-lord, he will be imaginative
and sensitive. He will have sudden flights of fancy. This vibration is excellent for writers and
other creative people. The downside of this is that the person will have great difficulty in coming
to decisions as he has a two-pronged mind that runs in an often impractical and fanciful manner
rather than in a logical manner.
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the sub-lord of the 3rd cusp, the native will
enjoy success in public-relation fields. This ensures fast progress in life if the person is involved
in transport, news-service, courier service, embassy work, printing and publishing, etc.
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the sub-lord of the 5th cusp, the native will
enjoy good progress in spiritual matters, blessed with good progeny and enjoy the benefits
arising out of good karma done in the previous births without any hindrance.
This condition will also bless the native with a good intuition.
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the sub-lord of the Fortuna, all-round
prosperity is assured. Success seems to follow the native faithfully in whatever he attempts to do.
The good effects indicated in the horoscope are enhanced and the malefic effects are reduced to a
great extent.
If the first alphabet in a name is the one signified by the sub-lord of the 11th house, the person
enjoys sincere friendship and is lucky in partnerships. This is particularly good while selecting

name for partnership firms.

Advanced Stellar Astrology : Cuspal Interlinks Theory (CIL)

Ascendant is rising continuously, moment after moment, on geocentric eastern

horizon at advanced longitude (degree-minute-second) . This is called Cuspal
longitude of ascendant where certain sign, star, sub and sub-sub rise. With respect to
ascendant Cuspal longitude, other houses and Cuspal positions form. Cuspal position
is co-ruled by the sign lord, star lord, sub lord and sub-sub lord.
In Cuspal Interlinks Astrology, sub-sub arc is practically ultimate division and Cuspal
sub-sub lord is the agent who interacts with other Cusps and Bhava. The interaction
or inter-relationship of Cuspal sub-sub lords with other Cusps/ Bhava is termed as
Cuspal Interlinks. In Cuspal Interlinks Theory Mr. S.P. Khullar has uniquely
described all about the interaction and interlinks or inter-relationship of Cuspal subsub lords.
Every sub-sub lord establishes relation with other cusps and Bhavas in a definite
way. A Cuspal sub-sub lord (i.e. a planet) establishes relationship with other cusp on
the basis of its Stellar Status and Positional Status. Nature of such established relation
of Cuspal sub-sub lord and cusp is further specified and modified by the sub lord of
the Cuspal sub-sub lord. That Cuspal sub-sub lord is meaningfully related with that
cusp or not; it is revealed the sub-sub lord of the Cuspal sub-sub lord.
In other words, In Cuspal Interlinks Matrix, a planet relates with others cusp or
becomes significator of that cusp(s) where Nakshatra Lord of a planet or planet itself
(in case of PS) appears in the Cuspal position. It is termed as the planet involved the
cusp through its star lord. Likewise, wherever sub lord of the planet appears in
Cuspal position, it understood that the planet committed to the cusp through sub lord.
If this committed cusp is in favourable position with respect to involved cusp then we
say that the planet is fruitful significator of the involved cusp (where planets star lord
has appeared). The Sub Sub Lord of Sub Sub Lord of planet will declare the
culmination of the involvement and commitment of the planet. That is, Sub Sub Lord

of Cuspal Sub Sub Lord is a planet that gives hint of fruitfulness of the
significationship of the planet for involved cusp(s). Clearly, a planet becomes
significator and gives result of only those cusp(s)/ Bhava where star lord of the planet
or planet itself appears. It becomes fruitful significator of those cusps if the planet is
favourably com mitted.

Golden Rules of Cuspal Interlink Theory

Cuspal Interlinks rule (1) :

A native enjoys significations of
those houses only to which Ascendant Sub Sub Lord maintain
relation.
Cuspal Interlinks rule (2) : A planet gives favourable result of
cusp(s) involved through star lord if that planet is committed
through sub lord to favourable or supporting cusp(s)/ Bhava w.r.t
involved cusp and entrusted through Sub Sub Lord to favourable or
supporting cusp(s) w.r.t involved cusp / Bhava.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (3) :

disposes.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (4) :

Sub Lord Commitment.

Star Lord Proposes, Sub Lord

Star Lord shows involvement and

Cuspal Interlinks rule (5) : Sub-Sub Lord shows the end result.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (6) : From involved cusp, 4th, 7th, 8th and
12th Cusp/House are unfavourable, 2nd, 6th and 10th Cusp/House is
neutral and 1st, 3rd, 5th, 9th and 11th Cusp/ House are favourable.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (7) : Transit agreement is shown by the

way of signification and excitation of relevant cusps in the natal
chart.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (8) : Apply Principles of Vimshottari Dasha

System for timing the event.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (9) : A promised event happens in the

joint period of planets that are fruitful significator of those cusps, if
Vimshottari Dasha Lord's Transit agrees.

Cuspal Interlinks rule (10): Vimshottari Dasha is sequential in

nature, which has a hidden meaning. Each succeeding period can
enact an event only when it's proceeding Dasha Period Lord permits
the event.

1. AYANAMSA is a angular distance between two points which is measured along the Ecliptic.
2. Now at this point of time, it may be safely assumed that one point is Vernal Equinox (the point
on the celestial sphere at which the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator).In modern Astronomy
it is called THE FIRST POINT OF ARIES. This point is receding with a mean rate of 50.29
sec. per Tropical year. Modern astronomy claims that this point is being measured with a
accuracy so that the difference in the catalog and observed values is reduced to less than
0.o4.
3. The another point is to be defined by Vedic Indian Astrologers for Mahurta and predictive
purposes. Since ancient times, even when V. E. Point was moving in Kirttika Nakshatra, it was
the practice that Indian sidereal Zodiac will commence from Nakshatra Asvini. The sidereal
zodiac sign Aries will also commence from INITIAL (ZERO) POINT of this Nakshatra. This
will mean that Nakshatra Asvini and the sidereal Zodiac sign Aries will commence from same
point. The only problem is to determine, which should be the reference point. The following are
main considerations:
A. Every point on ecliptic has some inherent natural potential but a point which should act
as initial of sidereal zodiac should be with reference to some prominent star and have some
special features.
B. Near the junction point of Nakshatra Revati and Asavini, star Revati is located. It is a feeble
star of brightness of 5.24 mag. This was not favored by most of the savants to act as reference
point. (In Surya Siddhanta, sidereal longitude of Star Revti is shown as 359 deg 50. This seems
to be incorrect. Modern value is 21 deg 115).
C. Yoga-Tara of Nakshatra Asavini is nearly 10 deg. away from junction point and its latitude is
over 8 deg. Due to these reasons, this star was not also selected as reference point.

D. The star Citra (Spica 16) is almost opposite to junction point and has a brightness of 0.98
mag. and its lat. is only 2 deg.
In Suraya Siddhanta, Varah Mihira has placed this star in the middle of Nakshatra Citra (Chapter
8).As such it appears to be certain that Siddhanta has recommended it as reference Star.
E. Star Moola (Scorpii) is a very prominent star. The centre, around which solar system is
revolving in the galaxy, is in the direction of this star. This is the reason that proper motion
of star Moola appears to be zero, when viewed from earth. Niruti-death is believed to be the Lord
of this Nakshatra. It was for this very reason that the Atharvaveda identifies Aristam
Mulam.
This is the reason that there are prophecies of many forth coming Aristhas as Winter solstices
are approaching near to this star (Axis Moola-Niruti and Ardara-Rudra). This also one reason
that these stars were not considered as reference star.
F. Varaha Mihira again indicates that the longitude of the Star Magha (a Leonois) is the 6th
degree in Magha Nakshatra. If the longitude of Chitra is taken to be 1800, the longitude of star
Magha will be 1250 59 nearly 1260.
G. Vedanga Jyotish says that the star Dhanistha (Delphini) is at the beginning of Dhanistha
Nakshatra. This condition of Vedang Jyotish is also fulfilled if the Citra star becomes opposite to
the first point of sidereal Aries (Asavini Nakshatra).
There are other points which need to be mentioned here:
1. If we take the longitude of Star Revati as shown in Siddhanta calculations (!3 deg !0 min. in
its own Nakshatra ), this shows that even if this star is assumed to be too close to initial point ,
it was not selected as reference point as it is a feeble star.( In fact it is away about 10 deg. From
the junction point)
2. It is a misnomer that they were measuring star positions as reference point pole star in the era
of Siddhantic period. In fact there are three methods of measurements:
a. All measurements are made from V.E. Point as reference in
modern days:
i. A perpendicular is dropped from the celestial body to the plane of ecliptic. Length of
Perpendicular and angular arc is measured up to the point of intersection of perpendicular from
V.E. Point. These are called celestial latitude and longitude respectively.
ii. When a perpendicular is drawn on celestial plane of equator,these distances are called
declination and Right Ascension respectively.

b. In Pre and post Siddhantic days , All measurements were done from the initial point of
Asvini Nakshatra as It was not practicable to measure from a point of intersection which is not
visible in the sky.(this is the very reason that they were following mean Rahu).
Siddhanta had suggested the use of polar Longitudes which starts from pole of celestial sphere
( and not the Pole star).
The Siddhanta suggested a new method. The Polar longitude which passes through any celestial
body will form a perpendicular on the celestial plain on the equator and will also cut and pass
through ecliptic plain on a point. It was suggested that the POLAR LONGITUDE BE
MEASURED FROM THE INITIAL POINT OF ASVINI NAKSHATRA UPTO THIS POINT
on the ecliptic AND BE CALLED AS DHRUVAKA AND DISTANCE FROM CELESTIAL
BODY UPTO THIS POINT AS Vikshepka.
(IT MAY BE NOTED THAT NO RELIABLE METHOD WAS KNOWN TO MEASURE
ACCURATELY THIS POINT ON ECLIPTIC IN THOSE DAYS AND AS SUCH THIS
METHOD WAS NOT PUT TO PARTICLAL USE)
As in Siddhanta they have indicated distances of commencing of Nakshatra from its yoga
Tara in chapter 8 and adopted a single unit of TEN minutes to INDICATE angulararc. It is
therefore clear that Siddhanta values give rough STHUL idea of location of YOGA- TARAS.
3. It was a mistake to assume that polar longitudes were based on Pole star. It was based on polar
longitudes of celestial sphere. Once we realize this, then there will not be any confusion on the
longitudes of yoga -taras as given in chapter 8 of Siddhanta.
4. It is now clear that initial point of Asvini is required to be defined. As there is no star near that
point, then only a
star opposite to it will get first preference. Then Star Citra (Spica 16), which is located in the
middle of Nakshatra
Citra meets all requirements. It is a very large and bright (of mag. 0.98) star and very clearly
visible in the sky.
The Taittiriya Samhita 7.4.8 says:
Chaitra full moon is the mouth of the Samvatsar.
Panchang-makers in India are following this dictum of the Samhita till to date.
This clearly proves that the initial point of Indian Sidereal Zodiac is the junction point of
Nakshtra Revati and Acvini and reference Star is Citra.
In BPHS chapter 3 verses 4 and 5 means:
As the lunar months are linked to the nakshatras, Parasara divided the zodiac into 27 nakshatras,
each having an equal sector of 13020. He also divided the zodiac into 12 sidereal rasis of

300 each. The nakshatra chakra thus commenced from Asavini and the sidereal rasis from Aries
(Mesha). Asavini nakshatra and Mesha rasi commenced from the same reference point, which
was fixed on the Ecliptic on a background of stars.
.
The Era of Varaha Mihira

Varaha Mihira was a great astronomer-cum-astrologer. He lived in the early years after Christ
though authorities have different views about his actual Era. But one thing is certain, which is
that both the tropical and the sidereal zodiacs were almost coincident during his time. His name
is respected even today and is taken along with those of other great rishis of the Vedic Era like
Garg, Vishwamitra (in the field of astronomy) and Parasara, Bhirgu, Jaimini (in the field of
astrology).
In fact he summed up in his works the advancements made upto his Era in the field of astrology.
The principal works of Varaha Mihira are:
(1) Panch Sidhhantica (2) Brihat Samhita (3) Brihat Jataka
(4) Laghu Jataka and (5) Yoga Yatra
In Chapter 1 Verse 4 of Brihat Jataka says:
The (Twelve) signs of the Zodiac, commencing with the first point of Aries and of (the
asterism of ) Ashvini, and consisting, each, of nine stellar quarters and forming a circle, are
respectively the head, face, breast, heart, belly, navel, abdomen, genital organ, two thighs, two
knees, two ankles and two feet of Kalapurusha. (The terms) Rashi, Kshetra, Griha, Riksha,
Bham, Bhavana, are synonymous terms.
5. In ancient times, astronomers were not measuring Tropical Longitudes of celestial bodies. It
was not possible to find out the Ayanamsa correctly. In those days, astronomers were depending
Sun dials, Lankodaya, Charantra , Velantra and Ahargan and other parameters to find out
Sidereal longitudes. One can study these methods, from Siddhanta Granths.
6. Some authorities are adopting different types of calculation to work out Ayanamsa value.
Some savants are justifying that they are getting more precise predictions based on a particular
value of Ayanamsa. Yet another set of savants are justifying their Ayanamsa values based on the
parameters given in Siddhanta. I explained that these parameters are no more valid. I may retreat
that any value of Ayanamsa which is not based on some fixed star should also not be adopted.

All the authorities have established the importance of the correct and true value of the ayanamsa.
Hence our classics say that Ayanamsa must be updated from time to time through observations.
It is arrogance at its worst that some so-called modern authorities have given their own names to
the Ayanamsa by altering its value a little. The Vedic and scientific Ayanamsa had not been given
a name before the nineteenth century. All Ayanamsa(s) are, in fact, either Chitra Paksheeya or
Suryasiddhantika only.
The Surya Siddhanta says that the VE oscillates like a pendulum 27 degrees east and west, but
according to the description given in the Shatpath Brahmana, the VE point has been found to
have shifted by 67 degrees. Therefore Munjala, Bhaskaracharya, Ketkar and, in particular,
modern astronomy accept that the VE point always moves backwards due to the precession of
the Equinoxes with an annual mean motion of 50.3 seconds per year, completing the circle in
about 26,000 years. There is no hesitation in saying that the assumption of the Surya Siddhanta
that the VE point oscillates is not correct or there is some other purpose for making this
observation.. At present, the old Surya Siddhantika Ayanamsas are calculated in a self-willed
manner (according to the old length of the year). The values of such ayanamsas are in the range
of 22 degrees 25 minutes in 2003 AD.
The Chitra Paksheeya ayanamsa is proved to be authentic by scientific research and is
eminently compatible with the dicta of our ancient sages and scriptures.
a. Definition of Ayanamsa

The angular distance between the fixed initial point of sidereal Aries and the VE point or, in
other words, the tropical longitude of the fixed initial point is called Ayanamsa. The fixed
sidereal initial point of Aries is always exactly opposite to the longitude of the star Chitra of date.
This definition of Ayanamsa is according to astrological requirements.
The above can be restated, in the following words, to make the definition more rigorous,
accurate and authentic, free from controversies, and also to incorporate the advances of modern
astronomy:
When the true tropical longitude of star Chitra (Spica 16, Viginis) is reduced by 180
degrees, the remainder will be the true value of the Chitra Paksheeya ayanamsa of date.
The accuracy of the Ayanamsa is therefore dependent on the correct measurement of the true
position of the VE point and the true tropical longitude of star Chitra on a given date. Modern
astronomy has taken the following corrective steps for the accurate measurement of these very
important and vital parameters. The steps are explained below in brief.
b. Measurement of the Equinox

The determination of the correct longitude of any celestial body depends on the correct and
proper measurement of the VE point. As all of us know, the Vernal Equinox point has a nearly
uniform retrograde motion of about 50.3 sec per year due to the precession of the Equinoxes and
an oscillatory motion due to nutation. This gives rise to the mean Equinox of date and the true
apparent Equinox respectively. Similarly, the inclination of the Ecliptic to the Equator, known as
the obliquity of the Ecliptic is also variable. The inclination suffers slow uniform diminution of
about half a second per year as well as an oscillation due to nutation of obliquity.
The catalogue Equinox is an empirical approximation to the dynamical Equinox. There is always
some difference between the two due to the limited accuracy of observation. The International
Astronomical Union introduced new methods of compilation from the year 1985 A.D. This
ensures that the difference between the two Equinoxes is less than 0.04 seconds.
c. Precession
Indian astronomers call the precession of Equinoxes Akashchalana. Newcomb has given a
formula to find out the precession for a particular year after 1850 AD. A major change, having
far reaching consequences for fundamental astronomy, is the adoption of a new value for the
constant of general precession from the year 1985. This constant is based on the latest
determination of luni-solar precession and planetary masses.
Nutation
Similarly the new IAV (1980) theory of nutation has been adopted from 1985 onwards for better
accuracy.
The new nutation theory thus includes all externally forced motions of the Earths rotational axis
while no geophysical (internally induced) or free motion is included. The new reference pole
shall be referred to as the Celestial Ephemeris Pole (CEP).
Aberration
Aberration is the displacement of the position of a celestial object due to the infinite speed of
light. The planetary observation is also computed by interpolating the geocentric ephemeris.
d. Apparent Geocentric Longitude and Latitude of Celestial Bodies
The modern ephemeredes give these values based on the true Equinox and Ecliptic of date and
are corrected for planetary aberration.

Apparent or true places of stars are now given in the Ephemeris calculated on the basis of the
new values of precession, aberration and obliquity of the Ecliptic as per IAU (1976) and the
1980 theory of nutation.
Chitra.
This is the reason why I have suggested that Ayanamsa should be obtained by deducting
180 degrees from the modern value of the true tropical longitude of star Citra.
The work of astrologers is to provide a definition of Ayanamsa. Astrologers cannot measure the
longitudes of the above two essential and vital parameters. This is the work of astronomy.
Modern astronomy is quite advanced and all ephemeredes provide the tropical longitude of stars
for each Epoch, from which the true value of Ayanamsa can easily be deduced.
However, the following aspects are examined before arriving at this definition of Ayanamsa:
The stars in the sky are not absolutely fixed but move slowly in all directions when viewed from
the Earth. Their motion is known as proper motion of stars. Star Chitra also moves, and the
annual value of its proper motion in longitude, taking the oscillation of the Ecliptic into account
was -0.024 sec. in 1988 and -0.028 in 2001 AD. According to the Lahiri Ephemeris for 2003 AD,
the tropical and the sidereal zodiacs were coincident in 285 AD. It is calculated and confirmed by
renowned observatories of the world that the longitude of star Chitra was 1800 00 03.0 on
22nd March, 285 AD, the VE day. The longitude of star Chitra with reference to the above
reference point has however diminished by 60 during the period of 1718 years from 285
AD.
In view of the appreciable shift of Chitra from its original position in 285 AD, it is necessary to
give serious consideration to the proposal of correcting the present position of the initial or zero
point on the Ecliptic so that it is brought to the position exactly opposite to star Chitra.
The correction can be made in two ways:
(1) Making a correction at an interval of 100 years, or any other appropriate period.
(2) Tropical longitude of star Chitra for any particular year or day may be deducted
1800, the resultant value will represent the true value of the ayanamsa of date.

by

The second option is now quite feasible and practical for Panchangmakers, as this data can
easily be obtained from astronomical observatories and the required values can be easily
calculated with help of computers.

The various values of Ayanamsa on different basIs on 1.1.2010 are as

under:

True Chitra Paksheeya

23 58 51.35

Lahiri

23 59 48.24

Krishnamurthi

23 54 04.55

Raman

22 33 02.54

These are sound and valid reasons to accept Citra as a reference star having a longitude of
1800 in the sidereal zodiac.
These are my views and I have all the respect to other views.
