Hindu Temple and Cultural Center Donors of HTCC HTCC would like to thank all our esteemed donors and visionaries who have made the dream of building a Temple of Temples a REALITY in the greater Seattle area!! After the ‘Kumbhabhishekam’ and ‘Mandalabhishekam’ events of Lord Sri Prasanna Venkateswara during May/June 2014, all efforts are concentrated now to completing the Vaikuntha Stage of the temple starting with Ram Parivar and then moving on to Krishna, Jain Mandir and Lakshmi. The immediate next step is to complete the Garbagriha for Shri Ram Parivar. Please contribute toward this great cause. Phase I completion is our ongoing task. Next, we will be taking up construction of Phase II – Kailash. We look forward for your coordination and continued funding support to complete all the five Phases. This is a great opportunity to take part in our several funding schemes!! Currently ongoing schemes are Sri Prasanna Venkateswara Garbhagriha Fundraising scheme, and Pillar of Community schemes.

The lunar month is divided into two groups, called Pakshas, one when the moon is waning (dark fortnight or Krishna Paksha) & when the moon is waxing (bright fortnight or Shukla Paksha). Each paksha is divided into 15 thithis. The first 14 thithis are Sanskrit numberings from 1 to 14 (Prathama, Dwithiya etc). The 15th thithi of Shukla Paksha is Purnima (full moon) & the 15th of the Krishna Paksha is Amavasya (moon is not visible as it is closes to the sun). So as lunar month consists of 30 thithis & each thithi then corresponds to the time taken by the moon to move 12 degrees, with respect to the sun. Every 7:00 PM Vishnu Sahasranama Parayanam Nakshatra: There are 27 Nakshatra (constellations) in the release the 2015 calendar containing information needed for the day to day usage by the devotees in the greater Seattle Area.

A Nakshatra (shown in italics in calendar) is the zodiac constellations in which the moon is found on the particular day. Timings listed in the calendar: The times listed after a Thithi & Nakshatra are the times at which the Thithi or Nakshatra ends. The panchanga uses the vedic definition of day , i.e a day starts with sunrise and ends with subsequent sunrise. Thus a thithi of 29:00 indicates that the thithi ends before the subsequent sunrise. According to the Julian (western) calendar, this means that thithi ends at 5:00 AM (29:00 – 24:00) on the next day. Festivals listed differently than in India: Hindu festivals are generally based on the Tithi and/or Nakshatra as per the lunar calendar (& some as per the solar calendar). For example Rama Navami is Chaitra Shukla Navami Madhyahna. Each thithi begins & ends at the same instant all over the world. After correcting for the time zones , the tithi will begin/end on different local times in different parts of the world. Since India has little variation in terms of sunrise/ sunset, a panchanga computed for one area is generally usable as-is throughout the country. This is not true when festival is computed for different location on the earth say Seattle.
