Computing Vedic Planetary Positions

The Starting of the Epoch is 13/04/1899, the Karana Arambha. The sidereal positions of planets are given at the time of the Epoch ( at the Sunrise Time at Trivandrum, Kerala, India ). The computations are based on Vedic Astronomy ( Siddhanta ) & Vedic Mathematics.

M = Mean Anomaly of the planet; A = Aphelion of the Planet ; L = Mean Longitude of the Planet; e = orbital eccentricity; mjv = orbital eccentricity in seconds; Sheegra Kendra = The Angle between the Planet & the Sun; Sheegroccha = Perihelion; Mandoccha = Aphelion; Sheeghra Phala = The Angle between the Planet and the Sun as viewed from a geocentric perspective; Oja = Odd; Yugma = Even; Manda Kendra = Mean Anomaly; Sheeghra Kendra Ardha = A/2, half of Sheegra Kendra; Kranti Vritta = Ecliptic; Vikshepa Vritta = Nodal Circle; Kshithija = Celestial Horizon; Bha Chakra = Zodiac; Vishuvat Vritta = Celestial Equator; Khagoleeya Dhruva Rekha = Celestial Meridien; Vishu Vat Bhoga = Right Ascension( R A ); Meshadi = The First Point of Aries; Thuladi = The First Point of Libra; Karkyadi = The First Point of Cancer; Makaradi = The First Point of Capricorn; Theta = True Longitude of the planet; v = True Anomaly; Manda Karna = Radius Vector, distance of the planet from the Sun; Sheeghra Karna = Distance of the planet from the earth; Ravi Manda Karna = Sun's distance; Nathamsa = Altitude of the Planet; Digamsa = Azimuth. Bhaga, Kala, Vikala = Deg, Mins, Secs; Madhyama Manda Karna = Semi Major Axis; Patha = Node; Thidhi - D or Day or Lunar Day, the first Lunar Day being the Moon within 12 degrees of the Sun; Vara - Day of the Week; Bhujajya = Sin; Kotijya = Cos; Sparsajya = Tan; Sparsachapa= Atan; Bhujachapa = Asin; Kotichapa = Acos; Pranakalanthara= Difference between Tropical Longitudes and R A; Kala Hora = Planetary Hours; Hora = Hour; Chara Jya = Sin C; Manda Jya = Sin M; Parinathi Jya = Sin h; Guru Sani Karsha - Perturbations of Jupiter and Saturn; Chandra Karsha - Perturbations of the Moon; Chathurdasa Jya Samskaras - 14 trignometric corrections to the Moon; Vikshepa - Celestial Latitude; Kranti - Declination; Dhruva = R A ; Sphuta = Celestial Longitude; Indra - Uranus; Varuna = Neptune; Rudra = Pluto; Kala = Phobos; Mrityu = Deimos; Gulika = Titan; Yamakandaka = Ganymede; Vipatendu = Mean Longitude of the Moon - Node of the Moon

The Three Methods of Vedic Astronomy
1) The First Method is to compute the longitudes of the planets along the Ecliptic ( Kranti Vritta ). Western astronomers have accepted 0 degree Aries as the First Point of the Tropical Zodiac and Vedic astronomers have accepted 0 degree Beta Arietis ( Aswini ) as the First Point of the Sidereal Zodiac. Extending 9 degrees to either side of the Ecliptic is the Great Circle of Light, the Zodiac.
