INDIA, the country with the largest Hindu population in the world, will be celebrating Divali this year on Sunday November 3.
Trinidad and Tobago however will be observing the official holiday for the festival of lights on Saturday, November 2.
This disparity in the date of celebration has caused some concerns among members of the Hindu community in this country, especially in light of the fact that the St Joseph by-election will be held on Monday, November 4.

Did some checking.

This year the Amawas starts at 10.45 a.m. on November 2 and ends at 8.50 a.m. on November 3.
“If we want to celebrate it during the Amawas period then we have to celebrate it on Saturday. If we were to celebrate it Sunday night we would be celebrating it out of the Amawas period,” he said.
Maharaj said deyas are lit at night and therefore it would make more sense to celebrate Divali on November 2.

Seems legit.

There is an image on that link above that explains:

The tithis are the Lunar Days in the Hindu Calendar and can last anywhere between 19 and 26 hours. From the image above, it shows that the day before New Moon (Charturdashi) ends at approximately 10:44am on the 2nd of November, so the day of New Moon (Amavasya) begins at approximately 10:45am on the 2nd of November and it ends approximately 8:50am on the 3rd of November. As explained in the Trinidad Express article, it is then only logical to celebrate Divali on the night of the 2nd of November. This means that the declared day is in fact the correct day.

yes which is all according to the patra sat uses ...which is different like I pointed out

[rocknrolla]

this is all going to depend on which day the moon is at it's darkest point. so regardless of what calculation is done if the moon is in waning crescent on saturday in reality on the day, then it's all messed up. and changes the entire symbolism of the celebration. i feel sat choose the wrong book to follow yes. but not surprising. not surprising at all.

the objective supposed to be to light deyas from within the darkest moon and usher in the waxing crescent.

[OffshoreMarketing]

i celebrating when Sat says for sure

You speak as though a patra can be different.
I am confused.
I thought the patra is a reading that would give the same result no matter what method you use.
What do you mean "according to the patra sat uses"?

2nd celebrater checkin in

[pete]

Supposed to have a solar Eclipse on the 3rd as well. That makes me think that the moon will be below the horizon for the entire night on the 2nd. Kinda sad I'm not getting Monday off but say what, nor a big deal.

[~Vēġó~]

^^^which means the man right in saying the 2nd....ent?

[DFC]

Diwali is on the 2nd and 3rd.

The 2nd are for brahmins.
The 3rd for chamars and everyone else.

[pioneer]

2nd or 3rd...everyday should be divali

[speedmelter]

hundreds of years ago people used to light their christmas trees with candles, now they use electric bulbs. how many more years till the divali method of whick in oil upgrade?

[Gem_in_i]

It upgrade to wax deeyas and tea lights for some.

[rocknrolla]

the times of the new moon stated by sat for trinidad which crosses from the 2nd into 8am on the 3rd disagree with time of the new moon offered by all other astrological information providers. they state that new moon BEGINS 5:47 am on NOV. 3RD.

question is where did sat get thoat time frame for the new moon from.

umm that is not an online source. it is a local regurgitation of sat's position.

we have another major problem supporting what im saying....

there will be a partial solar eclipse on november 3rd. the light gettin lix all how with this ting on the 2nd.

we going and celebrate the triumph of light over darkness but as soon as we out we diyas, the darkness still living and takin the sun too on the 3rd. the symbolic ritual is destroyed by this imho. darkness cant remain after the light. past 12am on saturday night we will also still be in new moon.

all how the 3rd date is more accurate realistically. we going and fail to triumph triumphantly over darkness this year.. devil ting. sorry to put it so bluntly. we gone let the darkness like heself. even if it is only for a short period. that is if sat time frame is correct. if it wrong and new moon really starts on the 3rd at 5:47 am then is pure darkness we in on the 3rd.

it may have been better to start lighting diyas saturday night but having the actual celebration on the sunday 3rd. lighting diyas to account for the partial eclipse of light from the sun. smh

[tr1ad]

when this going to the next level man?

online forum ain't getting the word out

San Fernando, Trinidad And Tobago

Nov. 3 5:54AM 5:57PM 11:56AM ---- phase New Moon

the times are corroborated by nasa where these sites get their times and dates and cycles from.
as you can see it quite clearly states, the new moon begins on Nov. 3rd at 5:54am(moonrise) and ends 5:57pm(moon set) with the New moon being directly overhead at 11:56 am

there can be found.. NO SOURCE that states anything to the contrary.. the whole world wrong including nasa apparently. sat really try to pass this one boy? NAH!

are the times procured by sat a total fib to justify the adjustment?

[tr1ad]

yea boy....

it amazing how they could try and change it

[src1983]

Rockandrolla, celebrate it on the 3rd and forget sat

[rocknrolla]

all how.. all how inno
