Significance of Tamil Panchang
You need to have the good knowledge of arithmetical calculation to properly understand the Indian Astrology. But the Indian astrologers have provided us with the Panchang which is actually a Hindu calendar and provides us with the details of the planet which are good or bad for us. Panchang is a preplanned calendar which is made by doing all arithmetical calculations that are needed for determining the positions of the planets. Those south Indian people who are living in Germany can prefer to use Germany Tamil Panchagam. These Panchang are really simple to understand but it is not mandatory that you must have the knowledge of astrology. A Panchang comprises of five elements which are Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana. A detailed description about these elements is highlighted below.
Tithi: Tithi is the first element of the Germany Tamil Panchagam. Tithi determines the phase of the moon such as new moon, half moon, and full moon. There are 15 tithis in a month. First Tithi is followed by second and then by third and so on till it reaches the last 15th Tithi which is poornima and represents the full moon phase. After the full moon phase, the cycle of Tithi again starts with first Tithi followed by second Tithi and then followed by third Tithi till it again reaches the last 15th tithi which is Amavasya and represents new moon phase. The cycle of these Tithi goes on for the entire year and you cn keep yourself updated with these tithis by using the Germany Tamil Panchagam.
Vaar: There are seven days in a week which are Sunday (Ravi-Vaar), Monday (Soma-Vaar), Tuesday (Mangal-Vaar), Wednesday (Buddha-Vaar), Thursday (Guru-Vaar), Friday (Shukra-Vaar) and Saturday (Shani-Vaar). Birth of a person on each particular day will make that planet affect the life charts of that particular person. Sunday is ruled by Sun, Monday is ruled by Moon, Tuesday is ruled by Mars, Wenesday is ruled by Mercury, Thursday is ruled by Jupiter, Friday is ruled by Venus, Saturday is ruled by Saturn.
Nakshatra: Nakshatra comprises of a group of stars that are located all around the sky and they can also be checked by the Germany Tamil Panchagam. Just as meter is used to measure the distance, in the same way, these Nakshatra is used to measure the space. There are 27 Nakshatra in the sky and each of them has its own name. Nakshatra comprises of two words which are Nak and Shetra. Nak means the sky where as Shetra means the area or region. These Nakshatra provides you with better positions of the planets which are used in astrology. These are also very helpful in predicting the Zodiac of the person.
Yoga: Yoga in the Germany Tamil Panchagam determines the position of sun and moon in our life. There are 27 yoga in all. These yogas determine our personality on a daily basis. Yoga determines the auspiciousness of the day.
Karana: A Karana is a half of lunar day. A Tithi comprises of two Karana. There are only 11 Karana. In a month you get 30 thithis which means you will have 60 Karana. But in real there are only 11 Karana out of which only 4 of them are fixed where as seven of them keep on repeating.
