Chyuthi Samskaram

Chyuthi is Orbital Eccentricity. If the motion of the planet is circular, there wont be any eccentricity. As it is elliptical, eccentricty has to be computed. Its values range from 0 to 1 at Ellipse, 0 at Circle and 1 at Parabola ! Chyuthi Samskaram

 in Indian Astronomy means to compute the eccentricity of the planet and reduce the Mean Longitude of the Planet to its Heliocentric Longitude ( Vikshepa Vritteeya Manda Sphuta ).

This is a very sacred day for the Eternians.

The FIducial Star !

The Fiducial Star of Hindu Astronomy. It is line with the Galactic Center, the Vishnu Nabhi.

It lies in Sagittarius. To the Eternians, Sagittarius or Dhanus month is very sacred because at Sunrise, when one prays facing the East and the Rising Sun, they are praying facing Vaikuntam or Heaven !

The Fiducial Star, Moola

Lambda Scorpi was called Moola by the Indian astronomers. Moola stands for Moola Adhaar, the Base, the Root. The Rishies meant that this Star is the Base of the Zodiac, its Root !

There are reasons for this

Moola is in line with the Galactic Center, Sagittarius A*.

At that time, Moola was the First Star and Jyeshta was the last.

The Arabs called it Shaula, the Scorpion's Tail.

We feel that ISRO should provide more photos of the 27 constellations of the Indian Zodiac.
