Guest guest Posted August 12, 1999 Report Share Posted August 12, 1999 Dear Prabhus: Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Thank you for the comments. Here are some additional issues regarding travel on Thursday: It is my understanding that it is inauspicious to initiate a new undertaking on Ekadasi. Therefore Srila Prabhupada would put his bags out the previous evening if there was a need to travel on Ekadasi. Is this correct? Could such an approach be applied to travel on Thursday? From the Vedic perspective, when does Wednesday end and Thursday begin? When does Thursday end and Friday begin. For that matter, when does Ekadasi begin? I once thought that the seven day week was either a Roman, Greek or Christian concept, but perhaps they borrowed it from India. Apparently, the Vedic calenday works in a similar way so that this inauspicious day for travel occurs each week on Thursday. I confess my profound ignorance of the Vedic Calendar. I hope this meets you in good health and I beg to remain, Your servant, Taraka dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
