How to calculate Shiva Vasa for Rudrabhisheka
Step 1Start from Shukla Paksha and determine the number of Thithis elapsed.
Step 2
Multiply the number by 2
Step 3
Add 5 to the product
Step 4
Divide the sum by 7
Step 5
Note down the remainder
Remainder 1 – At Kailash
Remainder 2 – with Gowri
Remainder 3 – Mounted on Vrishabha (Nandi) – auspicious
Remainder 4 – In assembly
Remainder 5 – At Dinner / Meditation – auspicious
Remainder 6 – At work / play
Remainder 7 – In Cemetery Example
Today, 23 July 2014 is Ashada Krishna Dwadhashi.
From Shukla Paksha, it 15 days + 12 days. Total is 27.
Multiply by 2. The product is 54
Add 5 and the resultant is 59
Divide by 7. The remainder is 3
Therefore Shiva is mounted on Nandi which is auspicious and suitable Mahurtha.
Agni Vasa
1. For all Havan, Homa and Yagna as part of Muhurtha calculations the Agni Vasa is checked.2. All Auspicious Yagna, Havan, Homa are to be done only during Shukla Paksha i.e. from Amavasya to Poornima.
3. Hence the counting starts from Pratipath (First day after Amavasya). Example
Important homa to be performed on Thursday, 31 July 2014.
Thithi on that day – Shukla Paksha Chaturthi
Total no of Days = 4
Add 1 to it = 4+1 =5
The day falls on Thursday. Hence from Sunday it is 5th day
Total the two: 5+5 = 10
Reduce 4 from the above 10-4 = 6
Divide the same by 3; 6/3 and get the reminder.
The reminder 6 divided 3 = 0.
If the reminder is 0 – Agni is in Bhoo Loka (Earth).
If the reminder is 1 or 2 – Agni resides in Patala Loka (Below Earth) Implications:
If the Agni resides in Bhoo Loka (Earth) – Favourable
If the Agni resides in Patala Loka (Below Earth) – It is not Favourable.
excellent guidance. Where can I get your publications?

hello sir,
As described above, Can i inetrepret that conducting ridrabhishek on sukla navami is auspicious as shiva vasa gives Wealth and Happiness?
waiting for your reply
Please check your calculation. Shukla Navami results in Shiva’s place ‘ With Gowri’ which gives happiness. You can go ahead.

DO we calculate all these for Havan after mantra Jaap. But if Jaap ends in Krishan paksha, so do one has to wait for 15 day to perform Havan
Firstly it is preferable to conduct all Havan / Homa during Shukla Paksha.
Therefore you can time your Mantra Jaap to coincide with Shukla Paksha.
For any Havan / Homa which is part of rites for the departed soul, it can be done without
checking the days / Tithi to coincide with 11/13 day functions.

Therefore Shiva is mounted on Nandi which is auspicious and suitable Mahurtha. when total is 59 and it should be divided by 7 how the reminder is 3 will u please clear this if it is divide 59/7 reminder comes 8.4 is there further calcutation
I am amused!! 7X8=56. 59-56=3…that is the remainder
7)59(8

3 Remainder
Eureka…simple arithmetic
Jyothishi
Sir, does it mean that performing shiva puja on the day of purnima i.e. shukla 15th may cause death to devotee? If not so please, kindly let me know the actual calculation.
In Shukla Paksha it is 15 days.
Multiply by 2 – 15X2=30
Add 5 to it – 30+5=35
Divide this by 7 – 7)35(5
35
____
Remainder is 0 (Zero) or 7
For Remainder 7 -Shiva’s place is Cemetery
Effect – Death
Death does not mean literal death.
It suggests since Shiva is in Cemetery, he may not grant your wishes.
The effort will be futile.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

Mujhe puchna tha ki 7 reminder kaise hoha agar 7 se bhag denge to. Wo suna ho jayega
For convenience it is said 7 to continue reading from 1 to 7.
Yes, every body knows is is ‘Zero’, if you want to call it Zero, go ahead.
You are wasting time.
Take care
