resolution of Sri Jayanti dates

[Guest guest]

Dear Maama,

>From my Kannada Panchangam (sampath krishna joshiar), mannAr Sri Jayanti

is listed as September 2, and thozhappar Sri Jayanti is listed as September 3.

I believe mannAr corresponds to munitrayam, as Gopala Desikan

refers to mannAr svAmi as an authority in Sri Jayanti Nirnayam.

Thozhappar if I am not mistaken is Vaidika Saarvabhaumar, the

authority for Ahobila Matham.

 

If you look at the timings (IST), the night of the 3rd is

actually navami, whereas the night of the 2nd is ashTami/rohini.

In fact, rohini ends before night starts on the 3rd, but

Ahobila Matham and Pancaratra probably observe it on the 3rd

because of the suddha-ashTami rule (i.e., no saptami should

be there).

 

On my calendar page, I originally had Sept 3 as the universal

Sri Jayanti date, but I was recently informed that the Srirangam Andavan

Ashramam panchangam listed the munitrayam date as being September 2nd.

 

Any clarification would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mani

Dear Mani :

Your analysis is absolutely right . The tradition of

observing SudhdAshtami in Sri Jayanthi NirNayam

is the reason for the selection of Sep 3

for celebrating Sri Jayanthi . The latest Nrusimha PriyA

issue states Sep 3 as the date for celebration of

Sri Jayanthi by Sri matam , Munithrayam and

Paancha Raathram (Koil ) .

 

These were the reasons for me to revise the date from

Sep 2 that I mentioned in the original note to September 3

in my last note.

I have copied Sriman Poondi Vijayaraghavan ,

and Sriman Nadadur Madhavan , the disciples of

Sri Srirangam PeriyANdavan to consult the Aasramam

and let us know .I have also sent a note to Sriman

V.N.Venakatanathan , a senior disciple of Poundarikapuram

ANdavan Aasramam to let us know what date they are observing .

 

For myself , I am going to stay with Friday , September 3

forthe celebratioin this year .
