Are JHL Rahu kalam timings right?---- Tulsi Badrinath wrote:> Dear Narasimha Rao garu,>> Namaskaram. Today a friend was visiting an astrologer and

happened to mention that she wanted to leave by 3 pm. So I saidRahu kaalam ends at 3.36 (as per jhl) so don't go before that. Shesaid no, it ends at 3.00 I am very sure and when I looked in thepanchangam provided in chennai online, sure enough it was 1.30 to3.00. Anyway the astrologer was only going to meet her at 3.30 so Ifelt either way she was safe.>> But on checking, JHL consistently shows RKaalam as half an hourlater. Is there some reason for this?>

Namaste Badrinath,

I am cc'ing this mail to a few yahoogroups that are read by someastrologers and some priests, hoping you don't mind.

A lot of astrologers and priests routinely miscalculate Raahu Kaalambecause of a misconception.

The rahu kalam times given in panchangas for various weekdays arebased on a 6 am sunrise. If sunrise is exactly at 6 am, then RaahuKaalam on a Thursday is from 1:30 pm to 3 pm.

But, if sunrise happens at 6:35 am, then all the kaalas are shifted by35 minutes. The day is divided into various kaalas and it is based onthe sunrise. So Raahu Kaalam on a Thursday will be from 2:05 pm to

3:35 pm.

7/29/2019 Are JHL Rahu Kalam Timings Right

2/2

What is so special about 6 am? If India did not choose "5.5 hourseast" timezone and instead chose "6 hours east" timezone or "5hours east" timezone, then all the times in all the clocks in Chennaiwould be off by 30 minutes. Will these astrologers still take Kaalamsbased on 6 am clock time and say that Raahu Kaalam is still from

1:30 pm to 3 pm on a Thursday?

The 6 am clock time has no relevance. Sun is the epoch of the dayand sunrise is important for deciding horas and kaalams.

Jagannatha hora software is correct and your astrologer friend isunfortunately misinformed.

Hope that helps.
