Sri Krishna Jayanti

[Guest guest]

The birth of Sri krishNA

is around midnight and therefore the very end of

Ashtami , when RohiNI star is dominant ( 27.41 )

is in ascendance .

 

Sri Jayanthi is associated with the combination

of RohiNI constellation with KrishNa paksha Ashtami.

There should not be even a second of Sapthami

on the day of Sri Jayanthi .If suddhAshtami is not

possible , One should celebrate Sri Jayanthi on

Navami day with Suddha RohiNi . If that is not

possible ,

then the dasami day with Mrugaseersha Nakshathram

is the next choice among dates .

 

The tradition of great souls is that to fast on

this day , perform Visesha AarAdhanam with special

sankalpam during the vrushabha lagnam at night and

at the end of the aarAdhana uthsavam brak fast .

It is the only time , when night paarayaNai is

permitted . For those , who can not observe such

a rigor , the partaking of food after chandrOdhayam is

 

recommended .Isvara Samhithai is the source of this

ruling .

 

There are similar prescribtions for the determination

of date for SravaNa dvAdasi and Sri Rama Navami .

 

Sri Rama navami is celebratd in the chaithra Maasam ,

Navami and Punarvasu Nakshathram .Chaithram follows

the chAndra Maasa tradition . Therefore , sukla Paksha

navami has to be taken as the date for Sri RamA

jayanthi .

Chaithra Maasam in the chAdrAyana tradition may come

in panguni ( Meena Maasam ) or Chitthirai ( Mesha

maasam ) .

The key clue is the chaithra Suddha Navami according

to

Prapanna Jayanthi NirNayaM .During Kadaka Lagnam on

Chaithra Suddha Navami , aarAdhanai with special

sankalpam should be performed and the paaraNai

shuld be completed thereafter .

 

Another point to bear in mind regarding KrishNa and

Raama Jayanthi is that these two Jayanthis are

celebrated

on the basis of Nakshathram , where as the other

Jayanthis such as Matsya, Koorma et al are fixed

on the basis of thithis .

 

Sri Narasimha Jayanthi is to be celebrated on

VaikAsi maasam Sukla Paksha Chathurdhasi and

the Visesha aarAdahanam for BhagavAn is performed

during PradhOsham ( before surYasthamanam ) . SandhyA

worship follows thereafter . Srirangam , Kaanchi

and other paancharAthrAlayams observe it on

SowramAna path and elsewhere in chAndramAna tradition

..

 

 

The tradition set by every achArya tradition is to

be followed in general .
