2 Śrī Rāma Sahāyam Panchānga (Almanac) Calendar 2014 Panchāngam: Panchāngam provides five basic elements of astrology, Tithi (lunar day or me taken by moon to move 12 degrees), vaara (a day from sunrise to sunrise), Nakshtra (the Zodiac constella on in which the moon is found on par cular day), yoga (half-day) and karana (angle between sun & moon). These are the main aspects calculated according to the Solar, Lunar and the Earth posi ons. These five elements play an important role in calcula ng the muhurthas (auspicious days) for any Hindu rituals. There are three prevalent methods of calcula on for Panchāngam used in different parts of India. Souramanam (Solar calendar - prevalent in Kerala and Tamilnadu), Chandramanam (lunar Calendar - prevalent in Andhra, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and other states of North India), Baarhaspatyamaana (Jupiterian calendar -which is said to be prevalent in North India). Panchāngam in India and US: The lunar movements calculate Tithi and Nakshtra, the main angas of Panchāngam. When one Tithi or Nakshatram begins and ends, it happens at the same instance all over the world, which is called the Universal me. Based on the me zones, the Tithi and Nakshatram will begin/end at different local mings in different parts of the world. Since India has a li le varia on in terms of sunrise/sunset, Panchāngam computed for one area of the country is generally applicable to the other parts of the country as well. But when it comes to other parts of the world, same universal me should be translated into the corresponding local me in terms of the longitude and la tude. As North America s PST is 13 ½ hours past Indian Standard Time, it is not appropriate to use the calendar, prepared for Indian local me. Keeping these aspects in mind, our astrologers and scholars prepared Panchāngam calculated for our local me, i.e. PST & PDT. In the current Calendar we have put all efforts to provide as many details as possible. For further details like Muhurthas, please consult our scholars, personally or through . Daily use of this calendar helps everyone to understand and monitor the prevailing planetary forces of the day. Accuracy of the above men oned Panchāngam a ributes depending upon Moon's mo on are more crucial for the reliability of Panchāngam. Because Moon is the fastest among all the heavenly en es shown in tradi onal Panchāngas, Tithi, Nakshatra, Rasi, Yoga, and Karana depend on Moon's mo on. There are three popular meanings of the term Panchāngam. Vedic astrology meaning is "five a ributes" of the day. The five a ributes are: Tithi: Ending Moment (EM) of elonga on of the Moon, the lunar day, the angular rela onship between Sun and Moon (True Moon minus True Sun). One Tithi equals 12 degree difference between Moon and Sun. Nakshatra: EM of asterism of the day, that is, the stellar mansion in which Moon is located for an observer on Earth. One Nakshatra equals 13 degrees: 20 minutes. There are 27 Nakshatra in 360 degrees. Yoga: EM of the angular rela onship between Sun and Moon (True Moon plus True Sun). One Yoga equals 13 degrees:20 minutes. There are 27 Yogas in 360 degrees. Karana: EM of half of a Tithi. One Karana equals 6 degree difference between Moon and Sun. Rasi: The zodiac signs or rasi - EM of the sidereal sign of the zodiac for the Moon. Tithi: The thi is the longitude of the Moon minus that of the Sun. First thi (Prathama) begins when thi is 0 and ends when it is 12 ; 12 to 24 is dvi ya, 24 to 36 is Tri ya etc. 168 to 180 is Poornima, 180 to 192 is Dark fortnight Prathama 192 to 204 is Dvi ya.etc. 348 to 360 is Amãvãsya. So, there are 30 this -15 are called Suddha (Shukla) Paksha (Bright fortnight or waxing phase) the other 15 Bahula (Krishna) Paksha (Dark fortnight or waning phase). The thi of a day is usually taken to be the thi current at sunrise on that day. Since the moment of the sunrise is not the same at all places it is to be noted that occasionally a thi current at sunrise at one place may not be current at sunrise at another place. It is also possible for a par cular thi to be current at sunrise on two successive days. So when two successive days have the same thi associated with them, the 1st day is called Tridina. It is also likely that a thi may begin a er sunrise and end before the next sunrise. In such a case a thi is skipped over and that day is called AVAMA. The concept of good ming is provided by this calendar and one can take advantage of auspicious moments by avoiding when the crea ve forces of this planetary system are on the wane.

4 Śrī Rāma Sahāyam A Message from the Founder, Chairman and Chief Priest of VEDA I would like to extend my hear elt and prosperous wishes for the New Year 2014 ahead to all the devotees of VEDA, in the bay area as well as from all parts of the country. Our vision and original plan for the year 2013 were fulfilled with Prana Pra shtapana being a grand success with the help of all the dedicated devotees and the grace of Lord Sri Satyanaryana Swamy. Standing at the heart of the bay area, I feel that the Milpitas City has now transformed into Melpitha Nagaram, which is equal to Sri Chakra Peetham (bhaavana). I would request all of you to come to the temple to get blessings of Swamy and par cipate in the Ekantha Seva puja that is conducted every day at 9pm. स व सर द त भव त - If you can take the deeksha for one full year and a end the Ekantha Seva having Aishwarya Teertham every day, it will yield to a prosperous year to the en re family. म स द त भव त - You can also take the deeksha at least for one month and get similar results for a month as well. The benefit of taking the Aishwarya Teertham can be summarized as स म ग ण स स क प न स स द य न भगवदन ह ण भगव रणय य ल यत त व म इ त य श ध The wealth that is accumulated through the truthful way of life, with good thoughts, in a tradi onal way, with the grace of Swamy, with the direc on from your believed Devathas will be cleansed from all the impuri es and will become pure and pious. The temple has become a great pla orm to local ar sts, like dancing, singing, language learning, spiritual classes, yoga classes, medita on classes, and many local organiza ons. Lord Satanarayana Swamy s blessings will always be there with local organiza ons like Silicon Andhra, BATA, Tamil Manram, Kannada Kuta, Bay Area Vasavi Founda on (Sakhi), etc. In addi on, we have been conduc ng Vedam classes and Durga Saptasa classes on every Wednesday evening at 8pm from several years. I express my humble gra tude to past president Sri Jagadish Babu Pasumarthy and also extend my wishes to the current president Sri Krishna Viswanatham and office bearers. Hard work, commitment and dedica on shown by the temple president with the support from execu ve commi ee and working commi ee members and many volunteers were instrumental in developing the temple and helping it grow day by day. I also extend my gra tude towards the group of volunteers who are taking care of flowers decora on and making garlands at the temple. This calendar provides vital and important details like Tithi, Varam, Nakshatram, Varjyam, Rahukalam & Durmuhurtam required for us in our daily life and for observing our rituals as well. In addi on, we also provided auspicious days and mings like excellent and average. Devotees while looking for an auspicious me are advised to omit any applicable Rahukalam, Varjyam and Durmuhurtham for that day. While thanking all the devotees for all their unwavering effort and generous support extended so far for this noble cause, I would also request and sincerely pray that all the devotees will extend similar support for all our future projects such as Phase 2 of the temple construc on, which includes Shikharam for all dei es. We now have six priests serving the VEDA temple, Jagadish Sharma, Nagendra Sharma, Sivarama Sharma, Mrutyunjaya Sharma, Anjaneya Kumar, and Phani Raja Kumar who are instrumental in temple s success with their knowledge, excellent work, co-opera on and coordina on. I also convey my hear elt wishes to Dr. Srinivas Vadrevu and family, who helped with the calendar prepara on with dedica on. I pray to Lord Sri Satyanayana Swamy to provide blessings to above all.

5 Śrī Rāma Sahāyam A Message from the VEDA Temple President Dear Devotees, On behalf of the VEDA commi ees, I wish you all a very happy new year and look forward to a frui ul Since its incep on, VEDA has grown over the years into a well-recognized ins tu on, catering to religious, spiritual, and cultural needs and spreading awareness of Sanatana Dharma in the Bay Area. I feel privileged to serve this venerable ins tu on for a divine cause as President of VEDA. Sri Satyanarayana Swamy Devasthanam (SSSD) had a monumental The first phase of construc on of the Garbhagudi for SSSD started on January 2, I served as the President of the Construc on Commi ee, an opportunity for which I am grateful. With significant leadership, support, and contribu ons from VEDA commi ees, volunteers, and devotees, we completed the majority of the construc on in a record me of five months for the Prana Pra shta. This highly a ended program provided us with the most divine and unique experience of our lives. A er the Prana Prathishta, day-to-day opera ons of SSSD immediately resumed in our new temple complex, and the new execu ve commi ee commenced du es. Our ini al goals were to quickly opera onalize the facility, to ensure the sanc ty of the religious services, and to provide a safe, serene, and clean environment for devotees. We strove to make the facility fully func onal and to provide an efficient work environment for the priests, and we took quick ac ons to improve priest welfare. As a sign of auspicious start to temple opera ons, the temple hosted a talk on Devi Bhagavatam by Sri Samavedam Shanmukha Sarma, Ashtavadhanam and Srimad Bhagavata Saptaham by Sri Vaddipar Padmakar, and a weeklong Bhagavad Geeta camp by HH Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami. New programs such as weekly abhishekams for all dei es and enhanced temple puja services were introduced. Other notable ac vi es with growing par cipa on were Ganapthi Navarathri and Sarad Navarathri celebra ons and the ever-popular Karthika Masa Deeksha. I am happy to announce that we received formal approvals to hire two more priests to address the increasing demand by the devotee community for on- and off-site priest services from VEDA. The execu ve commi ee formally launched Phase II of the construc on program to address the remaining func onal and aesthe c needs of SSSD. This includes the construc on of the outer sikharam for the Rama Satyanarayan Swamy sanctum and inner sikharams for the Shiva, Vinayaka, Karthikeya, Durga, Saraswathi and Kanyaka Parameswari sanctums. The sikharam project also includes comple ng all sthapthi-related work for the outer walls of all sanctums. In addi on, we will install a semi-commercial kitchen, replace the aging roof, and improve landscaping. We also launched the abharanam program to procure abharanas and silverware for all dei es and sanctums. These programs are structured to allow devotees to fund the cost with their generous contribu ons, at various levels, with sa sfac on of par cipa ng in a divine cause. As we look forward to serving VEDA and the devotee community, we want to ensure our temple sustains as an ongoing ins tu on with revenues generated through religious services, hundi collec ons, and sponsorship programs such as floral and annadanam ac vi es. We also plan to complete Phase II of SSSD s development with minimal debt burden on VEDA while fulfilling financial obliga ons to ins tu ons and, more importantly, to those devotees who stepped forward to help VEDA at mes of need. We aim for an efficient financial structure with clear visibility, responsibility, accountability, and controls. On behalf of VEDA, I assure you that upholding our divine ins tu on s beliefs and ensuring devotee sa sfac on is our paramount endeavor. I look forward to hearing from you and of your contribu ons to VEDA as we con nue on this journey together.

6 Śrī Rāma Sahāyam Preface for the Calendar 2014 Year a er year, for the last 7 years, the temple s unique calendar has been emerging as an integral part of devotees dinacharya. Albert Einstein proved to the world that the three dimensions of space and the 4th dimension of me are inseparable. The physical existence of the three dimensions of our body and mind are incomplete without the context of me. Time has some most powerful, divine proper es, realizing which will have a great impact on the three dimensions of our physical existence. These proper es are not too difficult to comprehend, but we s ll fail to see them because of the abstract nature of me. Instead, we get obsessed with the more percep ble three dimensions of our physical body. Fortunately, religion helps here. Hinduism is full of deep knowledge that reveals itself only to the analyzing mind that s in constant quest for truth. Truth is a ma er of me. No lie can hide from me. As said in Bhagavad Gita, me is God Himself, who is the absolute truth. Truth is pure, which is beau ful (Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram). There is no death to Siva even when he drinks poison. Even Siva s own power in Bhasmasura s hands could not destroy Siva. That's the power of truth, purity, and inner beauty: Satyam, Sivam, Sundaram. The purity that loves even Bhasmasura; the truth that is accepted even when it is poison; the inner beauty that is conspicuous even when covered with ashes. The three never die. Take all yuga purushas (the person of the mes) Sri Rama, Sri Krishna, and Lord Buddha. We see these three quali es in abundance in them. Time imbibes all the three quali es into one who is in quest of these quali es. The VEDA calendar, which incorporates the panchanga and various unique features, can be used as one of the tools for such a quest. It helps understand and prac ce the impact of me on life. This new year, let us resolve to bring about a paradigm shi from our obsession with the destruc ble, physical self to a deep indulgence into the 4th dimension of us the me. When we so indulge, we automa cally do what the me likes and preserves the good. We will also then perceive the energy or the life in us, which is indestruc ble like the me. Just like the principle of conserva on of energy, I believe there is this principle of conserva on of life. The energy in us, called the life, never dies, even when the body it takes on dies. It is this meless, indestruc ble life in us that we need to get obsessed with not the transient physical forms that it takes on. I earnestly believe and hope that the VEDA calendar is a great help to us in this lo y New Year resolu on. Happy New Year and Happiness Always! With Every Best Wish, Vishnu Pendyala Humble Devotee of VEDA Temple vishnu@siliconvalleytemple.net VEDA Temple Commi ee

33 Śrī Rāma Sahāyam Śrī Satyanārāyana Swāmy Vratha Katha Lord Krishna Says in Bhagavad Gita (Ch4.9) "Janma Karma cha may divyam yevam yo veththi tha-thwathah... " One who knows My divine birth and activities will not be born again". Sri Satyanarayana katha is one such activity of the Lord, by studying which we have every chance of being liberated. Sri Sathyanarayana katha forms a vital and integral part of this pooja. Not listening to the katha will be a major loss. Repeatedly hearing this story and meditating on its different aspects will make us more and more interested in the Lord and His activities. As the Lord Himself says further in Gita (Ch9.14) "Sathatham keerthayantho maam yathanthascha dradhavrathaah: "The mahaatmaas among devotees, always speak and sing My glories, and try with determination, to realize Me". Chapter 1 Once upon a time, the various sages assembled at the Naimisha forest and approached the great sage Soota, and asked him, "By doing which worship of penance can one's desires be fulfilled? Please tell us." The great sage Soota replied, "Earlier the great sage Narada asked the same question to Lord Vishnu, the consort of Lakshmi. Let me repeat what Lord Vishnu told Narada. Please listen intently." Once, Narada, during one of his sojourns to the various worlds, came to earth. There he saw the people suffering as a result of their past deeds. To alleviate their sufferings and bring them salvation, Narada traveled to Vishnu Loka. There he found Lord Vishnu adorned with 'Sanhka', 'Chakra', 'Gadha' and Lotus in his four hands and a Garland around his neck. Narada spoke humbly: "Oh, Supreme Lord, the savior of the destitute and the troubled, I surrender at thy feet." Asked Lord Vishnu: "Narada. why have you come here? Tell me what you want and I would fulfill your wishes." To which Narada replied, "Oh, Bhagavan. people on earth are suffering in many ways as a result of their own past sinful deeds. Please bestow thy grace and reveal to me as to how they can be helped." Lord Vishnu replied, "Oh, Narada, mankind can rid itself of all its sorrows by performing a puja called SATYANARAYANA PUJA. This puja when performed according to religious rites will bring happiness, peace of mind and wealth in this life and salvation beyond." On hearing this, Narada was filled with joy and addressed Lord Vishnu thus: "Oh Lord, in your infinite grace, please tell me the details of the puja that you just mentioned, how and when to perform it and who has performed it before". Lord Vishnu answered: "This puja can be performed on a full-moon day, Ekadasi, auspicious days, when faced with difficulties or any day the devotee wishes to do. One must gather his friends and relatives perform the puja with devotion and offer fruits, ghee, milk, curd, butter, wheat flour, sugar and honey to the god. After the puja is over, he must read the Satyanarayana Katha and distribute prasad to everybody. If the puja is thus performed, it will bring fulfillment of one's wishes. Particularly, in the Kaliyuga, this puja brings contentment." VEDA Temple Commi ee
