Upakarma Procedure for Chitrabanu Year - A correction and a Supplement

[Guest guest]

Dear Bhagavatas:

 

First a Correction:

 

In the Sankalpam sent earlier, the day was wrongly noted as "Brigu

Vaasara" instead of "GURU VASARA".

 

Yajur Upakarma is on Aug 22,2002 Thursday. Therefore, the

day must be "Guru - vAsara - and NOT "BhRrigu-vAsara"

 

Sorry for the error and my heartfelt thanks to Sri Dileepan Swami for

pointing it out right in time.

 

The Sankalpam should read as follows:

 

"PrabhavAdi shashTi samvatsarANAm madhyE

CHITRABANU nAma samvatsarE

DakshiNAyaNE, Varsha Ritou, SIMHA mAsE, Sukla pakshE,

GURU-vAsara-sravishTA-nakshatra yuktAyAm,

PourNamAsyAm Subha-tithau"

===============================

Second a Supplement:

 

Gayatri japam is on Friday, 23rd August 2002.

 

The Sankalpam will be as follows:

"PrabhavAdi shashTi samvatsarANAm madhyE

CHITRABANU nAma samvatsarE

DakshiNAyaNE, Varsha Ritou, SIMHA mAsE, Sukla pakshE,

BhRigu-vAsara-Sathabishak -nakshatra yuktAyAm,

prathamyAm Subha- tithau

mithyAtheetha prAyas chithArtham AshTOttara-------SankhyA

At the end:
