Bhatta is well versed in nuances of different styles of worship used in the Indian subcontinent (North Indian, South Indian, Gujraati, Punjabi etc.). You may contact him to determine his availability and to determine appropriate prayer ceremony suitable for your special event.

Pt. Bhatta has had opportunities to conduct many marriages where the bride and the bride-groom came from varied nationalities and backgrounds; they did not know or understand Sanskrit; the couple wanted a Hindu wedding that was not too long and expressed a desire to have an explanation of different rituals and vows that are integral to a Hindu Wedding. In an effort to address the needs of the younger generation of our Hindu Community, Pt. Bhatta and his wife Dr. Suchira Pande developed a format where Pt. Bhatta chants the mantras and guides the young couple to perform the wedding rituals, while Dr. Pande provides the relevant explanation in English. Using this format the husband and wife team of Pt. Bhatta and Dr. Pande have helped conduct several weddings in VA, MD and Washington DC. Pt. Bhatta has a license to officiate in weddings in all the above three jurisdictions. From the response and feedback provided by the bride and the groom; their parents; and assembled guests; it seems this novel format is amazingly appropriate to cater to the requirements of the niche audience described above. Everyone who witnessed these weddings was unanimously appreciative. Some expressed statements like this wedding ceremony is an unforgettable experience which we will all remember. Pundit Muralidhara Bhatta a vedic scholar was born in Sringeri, Karnataka, India in a traditional orthodox Hindu family.

Pt. Bhatta has been living in the US for over a decade. He was a participant in both the Atirudra Yagnams conducted by Sringeri Vidya Bharati Foundation, PA., in 1997 and 2008 respectively. In the time since he has been living in the US, he has travelled extensively not only in North America, but also to Europe. The purpose of these trips was to participate in major community events like Maharudrams, Kumbhabhishekams, Praan Pratishtha etc. or to conduct special private events like Pundit Muralidhara Bhatta is publishing a Hindu astrological almanac (Panchangam) for Virginia (Washington DC Metropolitan Area) for the calendar year (2012-2013) using the local latitude and longitude along with local sunrise and sunset times. In the Hindu tradition each year(samvatsara)has a name. The year starting in March 2012 is named Nandana. If Hindus living in East Coast US find this Hindu astrological almanac (Panchangam) useful, then the purpose has been served.

This calendar is specially prepared for the Greater Vienna, VA and it may not be applicable in other parts of the world. All time presented here is adjusted for Daylight Saving Time. People usually align the Hindu festivals with the English dates based on the Indian calendar. They think that if an Indian calendar says Janmasthami on a certain date, say September 2 nd 2010, then it will appear as September 2 nd everywhere in the world. The USA is 10:30 to 15:30 hours behind India, so some people will think it will also come the next day in the USA, i.e. September 3 rd 2010. They also argue that their family priest in India has told them to celebrate on this particular date and according to him the Indian calendar will apply to all places in the world. This is a completely wrong assumption. If the Earth was flat then you can use Indian calendar everywhere as sunrise sunset will happen all places equally. We won t have any timezones and the world will have only one timezone. Surya Siddhanta, Maharishi Vashistha, Bhaskaracharya taught us to prepare the panchangam based on the longitude, latitude of the place you live for these reasons you cannot bring a calendar from India and use abroad. The English date and changes at midnight; whereas the Hindu date (or Tithi) and day does not change at midnight. Hindu day changes at Sunrise. All days are from one Sunrise to another Sunrise. Sunday will start at one Sunrise and end at the next Sunrise.The Hindu date the Tithi changes depending on the position of the Sun and Moon. It can change anytime between two Sunrises. That is to say that if Prathama Tithi ends today at 23:02 it does not mean that Dwitiya Tithi will end tomorrow at the same time. It can end at 18:00, 18:09 or later. Tithi: In the lunar calendar the Moon takes a month for each revolution around the Earth. The lunar calendar is divided into two groups called Pakshas. The first one is called Krishna Paksha (or dark fortnight) or wanning moon. The second is called Shukla Paksha (or bright fortnight) or waxing moon. Each Paksha is divided into 15 Tithis. The first 14 Tithis are the Sanskrit numbers from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dvithiya etc). The 15th Tithi of Shukla Paksha is Poornima (full Moon) & the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (Moon is not visible as it is closest to the Sun). Lunar Month: A lunar month consists of 30 Tithis and each Tithi then corresponds to the time taken by the Moon to move 12 degrees with respect to the Sun. Krishna Paksha Tithis are in the darker color and Shukla Paksha Tithis are mentioned in the red color. Names of lunar months are Chaitra, Vaishakh, Jyestha, Ashadha, Shravana, Bhadrapada, Ashwayuja, Kartika, Margasira, Pushya, Maha, and Phalguna. Solar Month: A solar month begins when the Sun leaves one rasi and moves into the next. The solar month names are based on 12 signs, they are Mesha, Vrishbha, Mithuna, Karka, Simha, Kanya, Tula, Vrischika, Dhanush, Makara, Kumbha, and Mina. This system is widely used in Tamilnadu, Kerala, West Bengal, Orrisa, Punjab and Assam. Nakshatra: The path of the moon around earth is divided into 27 segments or Nakshatras. A nakshatra changes when the moon leaves one of these 27 segments and enters the next. Nakshatras are in italics. They are Ashwini, Bharani, Kritika, Rohini, Mrisgashirsh, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Poorva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyestha, Moola, Poorva Shadha, Uttara Shadha, Shravan, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Poorva Bhadra, U.ttara Bhadra and Revati. Timings listed in the Calendar: The Tithi & Nakshatra times indicate a time when the Tithi or Nakshatra ends. The Panchanga uses the Vedic definition of a day, i.e., A day starts with Sunrise and ends with the subsequent Sunrise. Thus, a Tithi with a time of 29:00 indicates that the Tithi ends past midnight but before the next Sunrise at 5:00 AM (29:00 24:00) on the next calendar day. Hence 24:00 means 00:00 hours of the next day, 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day. This is standard time notation for any Panchangam. The time for Sun s samkramana is when Sun will enter that rasi or sign on that day. e.g. Makara 4:36 means Sun is entering Makara rasi at 4 hour 36 minute. All other times are the ending times. How festival dates are determined? The usual rule to observe a festival is to check the Tithi prevailing at the Sunrise. Each festival has different rules. For example Ganesh Chaturthi has to be oserved when the Chaturthi Tithi is observed during the Calendar Explanation 8th/15th part of the dinmana. The dinmana is the difference between local Sunset and Sunrise. If Chaturthi is not prevailing during that period then take the second day. For example, if one Tithi is observed at moonrise in India it may or may not exist during moonrise on the same day in a different part of the world. If you are in America then it will be observed on previous day or the next day if you are in Japan, Fiji, Australia and other countries. For example if a total lunar eclipse is visible in India at 5:00 AM it will happen on the previous day in the USA. For these reasons Indian Panchangam you bring from India cannot be used outside of India. Uttarayana / Dakshinayana: The season occur based on earth s position around the Sun. This is due to Earth s tilt of 23.45 degrees. The Earth circles around Sun with this tilt. When the tilt is facing the Sun we get summer and when the tilt is away from the Sun we get winter. Because of this tilt it seems like the Sun travels north and south of the equator. The Uttarayana is the Sun appearing to move north. The Dakshinayana is the Sun appearing to move towards South. This causes rise to seaons and dependent on equinoxes and solstices. There is a common misconception that Makar Samkranti is the Uttarayana. This is because at one point in time Sayana and Nirayana Zodiac were same. Every year equinoxes slides by 50 seconds due to precision of equinoxes, giving birth to Ayanamsha and causing Makar Samkranti to slide further. As a result if you think Makar Samkranti is uttarayana then as it is sliding it will come in June after 9000 years. However Makar Samkranti still holds importance in our rituals as a Samkranti. All Drika Panchanga makers will use the position of the tropical Sun to determine Uttarayana and Dakshinayana. Hence January 14 th isn t Uttarayana. Actual Uttarayana occurs on December 21 st /22 nd of every year. For more details please visit http://www.mypanchang.com or write to shastriji@mypanchang.com.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

The Shukla Paksha Ekadashi of Kartika Month is called as Prabodhani Ekadashi. The period from Hari Shayani Ekadashi to Prabhodhani Ekadashi is called as Chaturmas (Four Months).

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Hence 25:00 means 1:00 AM of the next day, and 29:00 means 5:00 AM of the next day* 4 5 Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesh. Parvati created Ganesh out of sandalwood paste and breathed life into the figure. She then set him to stand guard at her door while she bathed. However, while she bathed, Lord Shiva returned and as Ganesh didn't know him, he didn't allow him to enter. Lord Shiva became enraged and severed the head of the child and entered his house.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.

Auspicious Muhurta times are Abhijit and Amritkalam. If Abhijit and Amritkalam times are overlapped by inauspicious times we need to remove the overlapping inauspicious times and use only the remainder auspicious times.
