In western astronomy, universe is said to have originated in a split second out of nothingness about 20 billion years ago (Big Bang theory). Butin India, in one Mahayuga (4.3.20,000 solar year) all the planets & other astronomical points complete an allotted no. of revolutions. The mean Revolution is fixed only by dividing the time of Mahayuga by the no. of Revolutions for each. Here time iy reckoned from the beginning of the Maha. yuga. ‘The system of measurement of time varies between Indian & Western astronomy. in Indian system, the day is related to sunrise to sunrise. Month is ‘measured from Amavas to next Amavas i.e. the exact conjunction of moon but in western system month isin relation to moon's motion round the earth. The year in Indian system refers tothe sidereal,.. the apparent motion in of Sun in the Ecliptc i.e. zero aries 10 next Zero Aries which is very different from the western. where year starts with January & ends in December. In Indian systems, wwe have the solar days, lunar months and call as luni solar year. In west the ‘months are divided into 30/31/28/29 days antl each day is divided into 24 hr In India, we follow the local time while in the West, the standard zonal time ig followed ‘The western system follows a moving point of zero reference which is the moveable Equinox position of sun in the first degrec of Aries but in India Chitra Paksha system, the zero point of Aries in exactly 180 opposite the star Chitha or Chitra, here the sidereal location of stars is fixed from zero degree of Aries (fixed) i.e. Ashwini with reference point at the end of Revathi, The ze10 Aries of west is above 61/4 in Pisces of Indian system. This angular distance between first point of Aris in Fixed & moveable zodiac is called Ayanamsha, Sidereal longitudes are followed in India whereas equatorial longitudes ane followed in west. These are referred as Nirayana and sayana longitudes respectively.
