Apparently, some do care. For example, it was your accomplice Mahanidhi who cared enough to ask "Do you wake up every morning and start acting according to Vedic calendar, or according to the calendar that the whole world is applying?" My reply with "live" examples was to show that his concept of "the whole world" is quite limiting (is yours too?). It belied a lack of awareness, for example, that there are several hundred million people all over the planet who are re-adjusting their lives this month to observe the Ramadhan (hey, note the name of Rama, even the Muslims are getting the merit of chanting the Holy Name of the Lord!) fasting month. In Vedic Astrology, all time notations are translated into planetary movement. So no problem working with any calendar system although the preference is for the Vedic/Vaisnava calendar whose clockwork is regulated solely by the relative movement of the Sun, the Moon and the Earth planets, not by some arbitrary man-made ordinance. Time is indeed Krsna's energy regardless of the notation employed, but the Vedic/Vaishnava calendar systems describe that energy better than any other system used in other parts of the world. > I guess this is the stuff people worry about when they find themselves > constantly meditating on women -- in the Vedic sense only, of course. Up till this point, this thread on calendar systems had carried no reference whatsoever to women. By exposing the above thoughts on to a topic that is completely unrelated, aren't you revealing your inner meditations? Just as child abusers often come in the guise of teachers, we must be wary of those who constantly make an outward show of "defending" women. Their actual agenda could be altogether different.
