Guest guest Posted July 8, 2000 Report Share Posted July 8, 2000 "The Caturmasya period begins in the month of Asadha (June-July) from the day of Ekadasi called Sayana-ekadasi, in the fortnight of the waxing moon. The period ends in the month of Kartika (October-November) on the Ekadasi day known as Utthana-ekadasi, in the fortnight of the waxing moon. This four-month period is known as Caturmasya. Some Vaisnavas also observe it from the full-moon day of Asadha until the full-moon day of Kartika. That is also a period of four months. This period, calculated by the lunar months, is called Caturmasya, but others also observe Caturmasya according to the solar month from Sravana to Kartika. Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita. Madhya-lila 4.169. purport So my question is, did Lord Caitanya or Srila Bhaktisiddhanta observe Caturmasya from Ekadasi to Ekadasi or from Purnima to Purnima? I want to do as they have done. Your servant, Nayana-ranjana das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
