    Aga calculations

    One of the main calendars used by r Vidyopsaka is Aga, which is based on


    lunar calendar. Lets see how it is calculated for the 1 st day of this year 15th April
    2014 which is the beginning of Solar Calendar of year called Jaya, this corresponds
    to the lunar calendar as Citra ukla caturdai.
    Find the kali yuga year from the almanac, the jaya vara is the 5116 th year, so the
    years passed is 5115.
    Convert this into months =5115 x 12 = 61380 months
    Add extra months which were introduced by multiplying the above number with
    939/911 and taking the whole number out of this result.
    61380*939/911 = 63266.5422 => take this as 63266 months.
    (Since we are calculating for the first month (Citra), the next step of add the past
    months of this year is omitted)
    Convert this into tithis by multiplying with 30
    63266 x 30 = 1897980 tithis.
    Add past tithis of this month = 14 (since daami came on two days)
    1897980+14 = 1897994 tithis.
    Deduct a correction for the tithis by multiplying the above tithis with 11/703 and
    taking the whole number thus got.
    1897994*11/703 = 29698.341 => take as 29698.
    Thus 1897994-29698 = 1868296
    This is the Kali uddha dina.(KSD)
    Now the Aga calculations start as below:KSD divided by 5:- 1868296/5 = 373659 leaves a remainder of 1, which indicates
    the past ghatika, so today is second ghaika E.
    KSD divided by 9 :- 1868296/9=207588 leaves a remainder of 4, which indicated
    the past vsara so today is the fifth vsara am Sri Satynandantha vsara.
    KSD divided by 30:- 1868296/36=62276 leaves a remainder of 16, which indicated
    the past dina nity so todays dina nity is the seventeenth aum ka jvlmlini
    nity.

    KSD divided by 36:- 1868296/36=51897 leaves a remainder of 4, which indicated


    the past dina so today is the fifth dina gham uddha vidy tattva dina.
    The above quotient (51897) is called dina phala when divided by 16:- 51897/16=
    3243 leaves a remainder of 9 which indicates past msa, so today is tenth masa m
    Kulasundar nity OR m Knti kal msa.
    The above quotient (3243) is called msa phala when divided by 36:- 3423/36 =90
    leaves a remainder of 3 which indicates past year so this is gam vara tattva
    vara.
    The above quotient (3243) is called vara phala when divided by 36:- 90/36 =2
    leaves a remainder of 18 which indicates past parvritti so this is dam cakus tattva
    parivtti.
    The above quotient (2) is called parivtti phala when divided by 36 :- 2/36 =0 leaves
    a remainder of 2 which indicates the past yuga so this is kham sadiva tattva
    yuga.
    Son compiling the above data in a single line will be - kham sadiva tattva yugadam cakus tattva parivtti- gam vara tattva vara- m Kulasundar nity OR m
    Knti kal msa- gham uddha vidy tattva dina- am Sri Satynandantha vsaraE kra ghaika- aum ka jvlmlini dina nity.
