Winter News The winter solstice is upon us again in the Northern Hemisphere, and though the year's shortest day heralds the onset of winter it also promises the gradual return of the Sun after a prolonged period of darkness. As our sun reaches the southernmost point of its journey, this hemisphere will see its shortest day of light. At |
the instant when the sun begins its northward journey, the solstice will occur and every day after will be longer than the one before it until the summer solstice, when again, the light will begin to diminish. The term solstice means "sun stands still." On the year's two solstices (winter and summer) the sun appears to halt in its incremental journey across the sky and change little in position during this time. Of course, contrary to appearances from Earth, the Sun's "changing position" throughout the year is actually caused by the - Read Complete Article |

| Surya: The Three Phases Of The Celestial King By: Angela Pennington Many times I've tried to imagine what it was like for our ancestors at Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year. In our modern way of living, electricity, street lights and neighbors make it almost impossible to fully grasp the intensity of ancient nightfall. Imagine looking out a little window and not being able to view the window pane through the darkness. Yet, the glow of a simple candle in the window could guide strangers from miles away. From earliest times, by every culture, the Sun has been worshipped as a Deity. Through the heat of the Sun's rays, a fire, or a bolt of lightening shooting through the sky, fire has been venerated above all others. Perhaps while sitting during one of those long dark nights, praying for safety and security, humans recognized the Sun's light warming their hearts, filling them with a sense of peace.

| Featured Jyotishi - Andrew Foss |
| | | 1) You helped start BAVA, what are your thoughts about working internationally (across cultures) with Jyotish? Jyotish is a global science. The Vedic science has never belonged to any one place, indeed we see traces of it or its influence in every ancient culture. I hope and pray that Jyotishis everywhere will work together to give good guidance to mankind at this time when we face the most difficult transformation of - Read Complete Article |
