Hello,
Does the rahukalam, yamakandam apply at the same time in USA as
followed in India? For example, 7:30am-9am is rahukalam on Mondays. So will
the rahukalam be between the same time in USA or should we follow Indian
time?
Regards,
Neeraja
Dear Srimathi Neeraja Chari:
No , it does not .
The determination of Rahu Kaalam et al
and
others are based on Sunrise time at the
locations
where you live
.
Here are examples as to how it varies
across the Year at East Coast of USA
.
*****************************************************
For Monday , Oct 11 , on the East Coast
of USA
Rahu Kaalam was between 7.27 to 8.52 A.M ( 85
Minutes)
On Oct 18 (Monday) , it is between 7.33 to 8.55
A.M ( 82 Minutes)
On Oct 25 ( Monday) , it will be 7.38 to 8.59
A.M ( 81 Minutes)
On Nov 29 ( Monday) , it will be 8.09 to 9.21
A.M ( 72 Minutes)
On Dec 24 (Monday) , it will be 8.29 to 9.38 A.M ( 69

For the end of
the months of May , June , July , August and September 2004 ,
Raahu Kaalam for
Mondays were between :
May 24 : 6.21 to 8.12 A.M ( 111
Minutes)
June 28 : 6.20 to 8.13 A.M ( 113 Minutes)

August 30: 6.59-8.38 A.M ( 99 Minutes)
September 27 : 7.18 to 8.47 A.M ( 89 Minutes)
For one has performed Saranaagathy to the Lord
,
the influence of grahams like Raahu , Sani
etc
is of secondary importance . Once , one has
placed
the burden of protection
of the jeevan at the
sacred
feet of thge Lord with AchAryan's MahOpakAram
,
one can ask : Graha Palam yEmi ? " and recite
Swamy Desikan's Sri RanganAtha Padhuka
Sahasram SlOkam overcoming the powers
of
Navagraham .
