[Guest guest]

Sri:

Srimathe Rangaramanuja Mahadesikaya Namaha:

 

Reproduced here are the dates for this years UpAkarma for Srimath

Andavan Ashramam Sishyas as published in this month's edition of Sri

Ranganatha Paduka.

 

The reason quoted is that this year, in the month of Aadi, there are

2 Amavasya which results in 2 Sravanam(Adhika Sravanam which occurs

first and Nija Sravanam which occurs later). The Rig and Yajur

upakarma should be done in Nija Sravanam and not during earlier

occuring Adhika Sravanam.

Monday Aug 30, 2004: GAyathri Japam
