Meaning: Panchangam is an ancient Vedic calendar of India which accurately tells
the happenings of the year, good days and time. The time to marriage
which is called Muhurtha time. It also predict international natural
happenings accurately. This is very ancient Indian science still
followed by many of Indians. Now in the internet world online Panchangam
is available for our use. We can just enter the date and the Panchangam
will tell all the good and bad timings of the day. These Panchangam is
formed by ancient saints of India and the accuracy is exciting. This
Panchangam also tells the eclipse of the year accurately. According to
Panchangam every things are happened in the world in sixty years cycle
and Panchangam followed it. I am giving here a lot of links about
Panchangam and videos explaining it for the use peoples not knowing
about panchangam.
Panchang -Hindu calendar - Consists of
Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are the five basic elements of Pancha-anga. For all calculations we follow the Chitrapaksha Ayanamsa, popularly called Lahiri Ayanamsa. The Panchang details are as on that date at Delhi.
The table bellow provides the monthly panchanga. For panchanga of any date including Chandra Bala, Ashtama Chandra, Ghata Vara, Rahukala, Gulika, Yamaganda, Vara Durmhurtha see below..
Rahukaalam also called as rahukaal in Hindi, rahukalam, rahu kal, rahu kalam is the time in day which is called the time of Rahu. Rahukaal varies with day or date and the place.
That means rahu kaal keeps changing for different days and is also different for different places(difference is due to the change in standard time).
Any holy , auspicious or good work should never be started during the rahukaal. Rahukaal lasts for nearly one and half or not more than 2 hours.
As per Indian mythology and vedic shastras it is recommened to avoid doing good things in this time span.
Note: Rahukaal is not dangerous, its a myth. But the fact is, the work you started in Rahukaalam duration will be delayed or get bored of that work..
You can also check the Rahu kaal today as below table. select the options to display according..
The below table show the rahukaalam of the day..

OM Bhur-Bhuvah-Svah. Tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasva dhimahi. Dhiyo yo nah pracodayat.
'Gayatri Mantra', the ultimate Vedic prayer to awaken the intellectual powers of a person, first found its reference in the 'Vedas' believed to be the storehouse of all Divine Knowledge and the most ancient scriptures known to mankind. The universal prayer is addressed to the Sun God, addressed as 'Savitha' as the Life-Giver on Earth. Goddess Gayatri or Annapurna is believed to be the Mother-God that animates all Life. Considered to be the essence of the Vedas, Gayatri Mantra fosters and hones the knowledge-yielding faculty of a person. The four 'mahavakyas' or ultimate sentences of Gayatri Mantra, is a sacred mantra that demonstrates the unity that underlies multiplicity and manifoldness in creation.
The essence of the Mantra can be stated as follows - 'Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.'
The individual words and characters of the Mantra have a meaning of their own than can be defined as follows:
Meaning of Gayathri mantra
Om:
The primeval sound that represents Brahma,
Bhur:
The physical world that embodies the vital spiritual energy or 'Pran',
Bhuvah:
The mental world and destroyer of all sufferings,
Swaha:
The celestial and spiritual world that embodies happiness,
Tat:
That or God, referring to transcendental Paramatma (Ultimate Spirit),
Savithur:
The Bright Sun or the Creator and Preserver of World,
Varenyam:
Best or most adorable,
Bhargo:
Destroyer of all sins,
Devasya:
Divine Deity or Supreme Lord,
Dheemahi:
We meditate upon and take in,
Dhiyo:
The Intellect,
Yo:
The Light,
Nah:
Our,
Prachodayath:
Inspire or Enlighten.
Thus, the Gayatri Mantra can be translated as follows:
We meditate on the glory of the Creator; Who has created the Universe; Who is worthy of Worship; Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light; Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance; May He enlighten our Intellect.
Thus, we can say that Gayatri Mantra basically consists of three parts:
1. Praise,
2. Meditation, and
3. Prayer.
While chanting the mantra, we first praise the God or the Divine Power, meditate upon it in all reverence and then finally pray or make an appeal to the God awaken and strengthen the intellectual powers of a person. The Mantra is said to be the embodiment of all deities and is certainly not associated with any particular religion or sect, time, place or person. While Om, Bhuh, Bhuvah, Swaha, Thath, Savithur, Varenyam, Bhargo and Devasya are said to be its nine colors or praise of the Divine, Dheemahi is related to meditation and Dhiyo, Yo, Nah and Prachodayaath are said to be the parts of the prayer aspects of the mantra.
'Gayatri' is not actually the Goddess, which sounds surprising but she is held in equal reverence because she is the mother of the Vedas or Divine Knowledge. The other two forms of Gayatri are Savitri and Saraswathi and these three are said to be present in everyone, in which - Gayatri is said to be the one to control the senses of a person, Savitri controls the Prana or the Life Force of a person and Saraswathi controls Speech of a person. Thus, the three together represent the purity in thought, word, and deed. In the same order, Gayatri is said to enhance one's intelligence and intuition by recitation of the mantra, Savitri is said to protect the life forces and Saraswati is said to guard one's speech.
The deity Gayatri is said to be 'Panchamukhi' (having five faces). These five faces are actually the five senses guarded by her or alternatively, five 'pranas' of life forces protected by her as Savitri. The concept of Savitri being the deity to control life forces stems from the legend that Savitri was the devoted wife who was so pure and loved her husband so much that she succeeded in bringing her husband back to life by forcing Yama, the God of Death, to return his 'Prana' or Life Force. It is said that Gayatri Mantra acts as a third eye of a person that opens up a whole new world of spiritual realization and attaining Brahma.
It is said to have power to protect one from any possible harm. Even the science-minded Westerners have found that the correct recitation of Gayatri Mantra in the right accent as described in the Vedas produce certain vibrations that make the surrounding atmosphere visibly illumined, which is described as the 'Brahmaprakasha' or Effulgence of the Divine by more staunch believers. As prescribed by the Vedas, Gayatri mantra must be chanted at least three times a day during morning while taking bath, noon before eating lunch and evening at the time of sunset to cancel out all the sins that one may have done all through the day unknowingly. However, it is best to recite Gayatri period during the 'Satwik' or 'pure and serene' period during the day from 4 am to 8 am and 4 pm to 8 pm. The Gayatri Mantra should be recited while meditating upon the fact that everything is within oneself and thus, we should keep and develop confidence in the Self.

O Lakshmi, mother of the entire universe, residing always in the heart of Sri Vishnu, the enemy of Madhu and Kaitabha; O pleasant one! dear consort of Vishnu,fulfiller of the wishes of people comming to you, good morning to you!
O lotus eyed godess, yours is a pleasent moonlike face. You are worshipped by the wives of Brahma, Shiva and Indra. You are full of love and affection. You are the beloved wife of Vishnu who is the lord of Vrishachala. O mother, good morning to you.
Having worshipped the morning twilight and said their morning prayers, called sandhyavandana, the seven sages like Atri, bringing the beautiful lotuses from the divine Ganges, have arrived to worship Thy feet. Lord of Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
The Gods, like the five-headed Brahma, the lotus-born Subrahmanya, and the six-headed Indra are praising the deeds of your incarnations as the Trivikramavatara. Nearby is Brhaspati who is reading out the planetary position (called Panchangam) of the day. Lord of Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
The breeze, carrying the wonderful fragrance of the partly-opened lotuses, and the beautiful trees like the Areca and Coconut, is blowing gently. Lord of Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
The parrots in their cages are opening their eyes, and graciously singing, after eating the remains of the plantain fruits and the payasam in the vessels. Lord Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
The sage, Narada, is playing sweet music with his veena, and, in fine language, is singing praises of Thy endless deeds, gracefully waving his other hand. Lord of Seshachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.

Lord of Venkatachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
Lord of Venkatachala! Thy devotees, whose heads are sanctified by the dust of Thy feet, being in Thy presence, do not desire Heaven or Liberation, but are worried that another kalpa will start, when there will be no such glory to Venkatachala!
Lord of Venkatachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
On seeing the crests of Thy temple tower, the mortals, who are attempting to attain the exalted paths of Heaven and Liberation, feel like living on in the mortal world, as it gives them the opportunity of worshipping Thee. Lord of Venkatachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
Lord of Sridevi and Bhudevi! The ocean of nectar of compassion and other virtues! The chief of the Gods! The sole refuge of the Universe! The possessor of Sri (wealth)! One whose feet are worshipped by Ananta and Garuda! Lord of Venkatachala! May it be an auspicious dawn to Thee.
