Today is September 22… Sharad Sampat Day.

Congregation, today is September 22…Autumn strike day. In the following article, let’s know what exactly Sampat Bindu is and what is its importance in our daily life. The journey of Bindu Surya during Sampa continues eastwards at a speed of about one degree every day. It never deviates from its path i.e. the ionic circle. On June 21, the point at which the Sun reaches the Northern Equinox after three months is called the Vernal Equinox. Since the Earth’s axis is tilted by about 23.5 degrees, the plane of the ionosphere is inclined at an angle of about 23.5 degrees to the plane of the celestial equator. Hence it intersects each other in two points. One bangle should be placed diagonally in another bangle. The two points where the ecliptic intersects the celestial equator are called ‘Sampat Bindu’. (Sampat = falling into one place. Means here meeting of two great circles, i.e. intersecting each other) One of these points is called ‘Vasant Sampat Bindu’. The second point is called ‘Sharad Sampat Bindu’. The equinox point from which the ‘sun-path’ passes north of the equator is called the vernal equinox. The position of the point in this spring solstice can be determined by taking into account the background of the stars. At present, when the Sun approaches Bindu during the spring solstice, it is in Uttara-Bhadrapada Nakshatra. So we can say that Vasant Sampat Bindu is currently in Uttara-Bhadrapada Nakshatra. At the spring solstice, when the sun approaches the equinox, it rises exactly at the eastern equinox and sets at the equinox western equinox at sunset. During this time 12 hours day and 12 hours night is experienced. From here on each day the sun rises and sets northward with reference to the east and west points on the horizon. Once the Sun comes to the Vernal Point, then again to the same point for 365 days, 5 hours and 48 minutes. Comes after 45 seconds. But we consider 365 or 366 full days in a year. So Sampat moment falls on 20th or 21st March as per Gregorian calendar. Using this particular event the year of Indian National Solar Calendar starts on 22nd March. March 22nd is a date of the solar Chaitra month of the national calendar. While preparing the equinoctial map of the sky, the map is prepared by considering the spring solstice as the base 0,0 co-ordinate. Just as in a graph there are ‘x’ and ‘y’ co-ordinates, in a sky map the co-ordinates are called hora and revolution. At present, the map of the sky created from the spring equinox point of March 21, 2000 (2000 epoch) is in use all over the world. It never deviates from its path i.e. the ionic circle. On June 21, the point at which the Sun reaches the North Vistham Bindu after three months is called Sharad Sampat Bindu. Then the date is 22nd or 23rd September. On the equator, the autumn solstice is 180 degrees opposite the spring solstice. At this point the equator intersects the equator once again. Of course, the sun’s declination is 0 degrees at the autumn solstice. When the sun is in spring equinox, the events that happened are repeated. Except on Earth (polar region), day and night are equal in both hemispheres i.e. 12 hours each. Sunrise coincides with the East point and sunset with the West point. The position of the sun at both solstice points is a guide for determining the east and west points on the horizon relative to your area. But on this day, the sun should be seen near the horizon at sunrise. After this, as the Sun continues its slow journey through the Southern Hemisphere, it moves away from the equator. However, since this fractional distance is towards the south, it is indicated to use a negative sign to indicate south revolution. Sun’s revolution -10 degrees means it is 10 degrees south of the equator. The Sun which has reached Sharad Sampati is currently staying in Anuradha Nakshatra. That means where is Bindu in Sharad Sampat and Anuradha is in Nakshatra. Now don’t get confused by the word, because even though the positions of these points are in certain Nakshatras for many years, after a long period of time they change with the Nakshatra reference. After Sharad Sampata, the day will settle in the South Pole region, while the night will stay for six months in the region near the North Pole. Solar Ashwin month of the national calendar begins when the sun reaches the autumnal solstice and is dated Solar 1 Ashwin. There is a twelve-hour night and a twelve-hour day at both solstice points. Mandali today is Sharad Sampat day i.e. autumn starts from today and the sun rises at the south pole. And this day at the South Pole lasts for six months. .Compilation and Translation by Srikrishna Pandit Ratnagiri 8668329202
