SRI RANGA SRI VOL.04 / ISSUE # 31 dated 11th August 2003

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

Dear Bhagavatas:

EDITORIAL:

Kind attention of contributors is invited to the guidelines in “Sri Ranga

Sri” Issues 04/24 dated 06/05/03 and 04/25 dated 06/06/03 and the amendment

in 04/28 dated 07/29/03 (archived at Messages 2678, 2691 and

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

IN THIS ISSUE:

1. IMPORTANT DAYS IN “AVANI”

(18th August 2003 to 17th September 2003)

We have been chronicling the important days (not exactly Panchaanga

Sangraham) at the beginning of every month of the Indian Calendar. In this

issue, we present the important days in AVANI (aka) SraavaNa for the general

information of members.

 

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER

We do not guarantee the accuracy of the information because these are based

on the available Panchaangams and the monthly religious Journals received

from India that very often differ in details. Some dates are from Swami

Deika’s 7th Centenary Commemoration Volume and Nityanu santaanam book of

Lifco. Readers are requested to check and verify and bring to our notice any

corrections quoting appropriate authority.
