    4 months ago 55

    If you meant Yoga and Karana in the Jain panchang:

    1) Types of Yoga

    In panchang calculation, Yoga is one of the five limbs. Traditionally there are 27 Yogas:
    1. Vishkumbha
    2. Priti
    3. Ayushman
    4. Saubhagya
    5. Shobhana
    6. Atiganda
    7. Sukarma
    8. Dhriti
    9. Shoola
    10. Ganda
    11. Vriddhi
    12. Dhruva
    13. Vyaghata
    14. Harshana
    15. Vajra
    16. Siddhi
    17. Vyatipata
    18. Variyana
    19. Parigha
    20. Shiva
    21. Siddha
    22. Sadhya
    23. Shubha
    24. Shukla
    25. Brahma
    26. Indra
    27. Vaidhriti

    2) Types of Karana

    There are 11 Karanas in total:
    • 7 movable Karanas:
    1. Bava 2. Balava 3. Kaulava 4. Taitila 5. Gara 6. Vanija 7. Vishti
    • 4 fixed Karanas:
    8. Shakuni 9. Chatushpada 10. Naga 11. Kimstughna

    3) Jain books that give calculation details

    For Jain tradition, the most useful books/texts on calculations are:
    • Jyotish Karandakam — important for time, tithi, and calendar calculations.
    • Jyotirmahodaya — gives practical panchang and muhurta calculations.
    • Jain Panchang Paddhti — specifically focused on Jain calendar and panchang method.
    • Jain Jyotish — covers panchang, horoscope, and calculation methods.
    • Sanatan Jain Khagol Jyotish Praveshika — introduces Jain astronomy/astrology calculations.
    • Classical Jain sources often referenced for calendar science include Surya Prajnapti and Chandra Prajnapti. ( jainpanchang.org)

    If you want, I can also give the Jain panchang calculation formula for Yoga and Karana in a very simple step-by-step way.
