Buddha Purnima
Birth, awakening and parinirvana on one full moon. The Buddha is not outside this tradition — he is its most rigorous internal critic, and the tradition kept him.
The actEat simply, harm nothing today, and sit for as long as you honestly can.
Matched in Vaishakha. Both reckonings name this month alike, so there is nothing to choose between them here. A krishna-paksha day carries two month names — purnimanta runs a month ahead of amanta — so each festival is matched by the reckoning its own name uses. This is shown so you can check it.
Purnima
The full moon. The mind is at its most expanded and least contained — the tradition's month-long high tide.
The actCharity, and something collective. Do not make a large decision tonight; you will feel more certain than the evidence warrants.

A ghati here is a fixed twenty-four minutes — one sixtieth of a mean day, which is what the ladder below defines. The other tradition divides the actual daylight into its own proportional parts, and that is what the muhurta page computes for Brahma and Abhijit. Two conventions, both true, and VEDAUM will not quietly mix them.
Time, as Sanatan measured it →A guide to the rhythm of the year, not a replacement for your family's own panchang. Where a tithi spans two sunrises, regional convention decides which day keeps the festival, and VEDAUM shows the day its own reckoning gives.
