For the guidance of those interested in this vocation the
difference of time in some prominent places against a particular place namely Madras is mentioned below. When the time in Lahore will be 12:00 AM the time
in other cities will be mentioned as the ones below them.
Look at the city whose time difference is to be known against
another one. It will be located beside that city or a little drifted towards
the east or the west. In case it is located beside the city howsoever it is
drifted toward North or South it will make no difference. However, it is
drifting towards the east or the west will be an indication of difference. The
Sun covers the whole earth in 24 hours. The earth has been divided into 360
degrees, The Sun covers 15 degrees in an hour. The time difference of a city
will be measured by the degree it is drifted towards the east or the west from
that city. Suppose it has drifted by 15 degrees and the time in a particular
city is 12 o’clock and it is situated eastward the time there will be 1 o’clock
and if it is westward then the time there will be 11 o’clock because the Sun
rises in the east. It is to be noted that one degree is equal to the distance
of 69-5 miles and its width is measured on the basis of the equator which will
not be more than 90 degrees either on the Northern or the Southern side. The
length of the degree is measured from Greenwich, a place near London, which is
not more than 100 degrees either on the eastern or western side.
Time difference as compared to Madras time on places situated eastward or southward from Lahore where the Sun rises earlier than Lahore the time difference should be deducted according to the given chart. Likewise, at places that are situated westward or Northward from Madras city where Sun rises later than Madras the time difference will be added to the time at Lahore because this difference of rising and setting of the Sun hides in its great divine prudence.
