Guest guest Posted March 29, 1999 Report Share Posted March 29, 1999 Sriman Mani referred to a second date for Ramanavami. I have noticed this discrepancy for many other festivals including Krishna Jayanthi. For example Ugadi/Vishu (March 18 and April 14). This is because of Chandramana (Lunar) and Sauryamana (Solar) calanders. I also noticedt hat the Ramanavami on March 25 is called Chandra Ramanavami. Pongal is always by Solar calander. Sauramana system helps, as the festivals fall on the same day every year (For example, Pongal-Makarasankranthi is on Jan 14/15, likewise Baishaki/ Vishu on April 13/14. When I was young, this worked out just fine. Our house SriJayanthi Thindis would last for approx. a month, just in time for krishna Jayanthi in my sister's house. This is one way for good amity between followers of two different sampradayas I guess! Daasan K. Sreekrishna Tatachar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
