>General: Sri Krishna Jayanthi is on the day of Ashtami/Rohini

>Munithrayam:

>------------

>Has two Vradhams, Sri Jayanthi Vradham and Janmashtami Vradham.

>If Ashtami and Rohini are present even for one vinadi, then

>both Vradhams must be observed on that day. Otherwise, Janmashtami

>Vradham must be observed on the day of Ashtami without any Saptami

>before it, and Sri Jayanthi Vradham must be observed on the Rohini

>day without any Kruththikai before it. If the later happens, two

>vradhams must be observed.

>This year, we find Ashtami and Rohini together on Sep 10th in India

>as well as all over continental USA. Thus, for Munithraiya Sampradayam

>both Janmashtami Vradaham as well as Sri Jayanthi vradham can be

>observed on Sep 10th both in India as well as continental USA.

>In Hawai, Ashtami and Rahini appear together on Sep 9th. Therefore,

>the observance must be on Sep 9th for Munithraiyas residing in Hawaii.

>Sri Sannidhi

>------------

>First, two definitions, (i) Sudda Ashtami is a day with Ashtami not

>preceded by Saptami, and (ii) Sudda Rohini is a day with Rohini not

>preceded by Kriththikai. Sri Sannidhi sishyas celebrate Sri Jayanthi

>on the day when Sudda Ashtami coincides with Sudda Rohini. If Sudda

>Ashtami does not coincide with Sudda Rohini, then, Sri Jayanthi

>must be celebrated on Mrugasheerusham coinciding with either Navami

>or Dasami.

>

>This year, in India, Sudda Rohini is on Sep 10th, but Sudda Ashtami

>is on Sep 11th. They do not coincide. Therefore, sishyas in India

>must celebrate Sri Jayanthi on Sep 11th. However, in the U.S. from

>the East to West coast, (not including Hawaii), Sudda Ashtami and

>Sudda Rohini coincide on Sep 10th. Therefore, Sri Jayanthi is on

>Sep 10th.

>In Hawaii, Sudda Rohini is on Sep 9th and Sudda Ashtami is on Sep 10.

>They do not coincide. Therefore, Sri Sannidhi sishyas residing in
