About Jhulelal Tipno Panchang (Almanac)

Samvatsaram – Sambat – Samvat : This year samvat is 2072 Saake is 1937. The era of Raaja Vikramadutt (King) is called Vikram Samvat. There are different yugas named as Yudhister Yug (era) , Vikramadatya era, Shaliwaahan.

The Hindu Jyotish Shastra (Astrololgy) is practiced for over many years. The Hindu Jyotish Shastra has two divisions Ganit (Calculation) and Falit (Predictive – Prediction). The former has three sub-divisions namely Siddhantha – systems, Tantra and thirdly Karma. This Panchang (Almanac) Tipno consists of five different parts that is why it is called PANCHANG; whereas TIPNO has three parts. Following are five parts of panchang :-

1) Vaar (1st Part of Panchang / Tipno) : Day first of the Samvatsar New Year.
Formation is based on Hindu astrological siddhantha. Vaar (days) are added in this panchang.

2) Tithi (2nd Part of Panchang / Tipno) : Tithi is the digit of the moon. While saying the Sankalp, the Hindu Prayers everyday tithi is recited. Tithis are provided herewith in this panchang including time in hours and minutes. Generally there are 15 tithis in a Paksha (fortnight). But, sometimes tithis are big (Vridhi) and small (Khaye) depending on the waxing and waning of the moon. The fortnight (Paksha) can be brighter (Shukla Paksha – Sud – Sahaai) and darker fortnight (Krishna Paksha – Vad – Vadi). Tithis are from Ekam to Pornima – Poonam (Full Moon), whereas second Paksha starts from the first tithi to fifteenth tithi – until Amaavasyaa (Umas) ].

3) Nakshatra (3rd Part of Panchang / Tipno) : There are 27 nakshatras and also the Abhijit. Hindu Vedic Astrology has significant importance of the nakshatras (constellation – asterism). While initiating the name of the new born child, nakshatra is the integral part. Hindu prayer sankalp time, nakshatra is recited.

4) Yog (4th Part of Panchang) : There’re 27 yog. See the “Hindu Astrology in brief ” of this panchang; it also can be seen in the hindi section of this panchang.

5) Karan (5th Part of Panchang) : This topic is detailed in this Jhulelal Panchang. Refer the topic of “Hindu Astrology in brief “ as well as see in the hindi section of this panchang.

Panchang – Tipno also focuses on different aspects of astrology, characteristics of 12 different moon signs, casting of zodiac signs, mangal grahe (Mar’s effect for the considering matrimony). One of the topic on mercury planet (budh) is covered in this panchang by my elder brother Pujya late Shripal Parsram Sharma of Ulhasnagar; it was also printed in panchang about during 2002-2003. My father Pujya late Shri Parsram Rochiram Sharma; and my elder brother Pt. Maharaj Ramesh Parsram Sharma in Lucknow, Bharat (India) also printed Parva Patrika.

I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the following well-wishers in compiling this Jhulelal Tipno Panchang (Almanac) :-

Hindu Jyotish – Vedic Astrology is an ancient science which has to be respected by the Hindu family. Tradition and culture are the backbones to our civilization; and astrology is one such tradition. Astrology is predictive. We have tried here to compile briefly the different Hindu astrological aspects as well as important days, festivals, fasts (vrat) and stutis; that is needed in our daily prayers – nityakarma. Hindi, Devnagri Sindhi, Sindhi, Sanskrit and English is used in this Panchang. Unity in diversity for different language and community is compiled herewith – providing different Hindu community festivals, auspicious days.
