The Year 2026, Read for the World
Medinī jyotiṣa — the Saṃhitā branch the Nārada Purāṇa itself teaches. The year’s lords, computed from the real calendar, graded by the verse.
nṛpa — lord/king of the year
Guru (Jupiter)
Thursday, 2026-03-19 · śubha (auspicious)
Jupiter as year-lord is counted auspicious — dharma and counsel favoured.
“caitra-śukla-pratipadi yo vāraḥ sa nṛpaḥ smṛtaḥ” — narp_1,56.1-2 · graded narp_1,56.3
senānī — commander of the year
Mangala (Mars)
Tuesday, 2026-04-14 · neṣṭa (inauspicious)
Mars as year-lord is declared unwelcome — a harsh, contentious year.
“meṣa-praveśe senānīḥ” — narp_1,56.1-2 · graded narp_1,56.3
The classical Saṃhitā reading of the year — computed astronomy plus the verbatim cited verse. It is what the text says of the year's configuration; not a forecast of events.
