 We wrote about the Cosmic Clock,
Time taken by VEP to transit, 
The 360 Degree Cosmic Clock,
Which is 25920 years !

On the Human Clock,
Sun takes 365.25 days,
To make a circuit Of the Zodiac,
Dwadasa Masa Vatsara Smritha !

To make a 180 transit, Sol takes 180 days,
Shan Masa Ayanam Bhavati,
Generating 2 Solstices,
Uthara and Dakshina, Northern & Southern !

To make a 60 degree Transit,
Sixty days it takes for him,
As per Thou Dou Rithu,
Two months make one Rithu !

It takes 90 days for him,
To make a Season Western,
In other 30 degree Transit is One Month,
Let use see if there micro or smaller transits ?

In his journey of the Great Ecliptic,
Moon causeth 27 Lunar Mansions,
Or Nakshatras, which are considered,
Very important in Astronomy.


A micro 13 deg 20 minutes,
Is called Njattu Vela,
It lasts for 13 days,
Holding Key to Kerala Weather !

The Njattuvelas have been differentiated,
Into Rainy and Non Rainy Njattuvelas,
Even though Non Rainy is out of Reality,
As rains grace Kerala in all months !

Four of them are vicious,
Mrigasira, Ardra, Pushya, Punarvasu,
They devastate the land,
But liberate land from the scorching heat !

( Earth bursts in flower to meet Sol,
"Liberate me from this blistering heat,
Sunk as I am in the serpent pit of heat,
Free me by raining Ambrosia !")

They are the main players of Kala Varsha,
The South West Monsoon,
As Chitra, Swati & Vishakha Njattuvelas,
Dominate Thula Varsha !

This is the First Science, from which,
All sciences began. Holiest, noblest,
And greatest of sciences. Original Science,
Which contains Science's primitive mysteries !

That it is presented as Grand Poetry,
Enhances the values of the Seer Poets,
For, Poetry is the Center and Circumference,
Of all Knowledge, both worldly and divine !

There are so many Apta Vakyas about both Monsoons,
Which incidentally is derived from the Sanskrit Masa,
Edava Pathi kazhinjal eda vazheelum veellam,
After crossing 45 degrees, rains will accelerate !

Kumbhathil Mazha peythal Kuppyilum Manikyam,
As Kumbha or Aquarius is considered very hot,
Mazhayumilla Vilayumilla,
No rains, no harvest !

THiruvathirayi Nooru Mahzyum Nooru Velyilum
That vicious rains and sunny interludes grace Thiruvathira!
Thiruvathira Njattil Amrutha Mazha,
Meenathil Mazha Peythal Meeninum irayilla !
