Thanks for the detailed and informative description.
IT HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD TO KNOW THE EXACT TIMINGS OF AMAVASYA...GRATEFUL TO YOU FOR THE INFORMATION...
The timing of Somvatio Amavas is given till 8:10Am on 29th August 2011.
So no punya after this??
My confusion is regarding time of observances.
Should we observe till tithi end or ...??
Till when??
Please explain,
Thank you,
Rahul
Tithi ending all rituals should be observed before tithi ending.
Thank you Lal ji.
So this means the fast for this Amavasya was on Sunday 28th August 2011 till 8:10 AM 29th August 2011?
Now, If I am not mistaken, Amavasya fast is broken during evening (sunset) time, right??
So how will a fast in such a case be kept and when will it be fulfilled?
Also, since tithi is getting complete at 8:10 Am, so does this mean that the rest of the day is auspicious for starting new ventures?
Thanks a lot for clearing up many confusions in this regard,
Pranaam,
Rahul
There are two types of fasting...Tithi based and from sunrise to sunset.
For Amavasya the widely followed rule for fasting is to take the day when sunset is during Amavasya Tithi.
In the above case the fast was on August 28.
