The Vedic solar year started from Uttarayana, now it starts (actually should start) from Vernal Equinox (Vasanta Sampat). 2. Vedic Lunar New year started from the first lunar month of Shishira Ritu, i.e. Magha with the first New Moon after Uttarayana. Now a days it starts (actually should start!) with the first New Moon after the start of Vasanta Ritu, that was on February 26, 2009. 3. The names of Vedic months are Madhu/Chaitra, Madhava/Vaishakha, Shukra/Jyeshtha, Shuchih/Ashadha, Nabhas/Shravana, Nabhasya/Bhadra, Isha/Ashvayuja, Urja/Kartika, Sahas/Agrahayana (Margasheersha), Sahasya/Pausha, Tapah/Magha, Tapasya/Phalguna. These names get interchanged with solar as well as lunar months in our shastras. 4. Lunar Adhika-masa must be decided vis-a-vis solar Madhu, Madhava etc. 5. In ancient times Nakshatra division started from Krittika as the Vernal Equinox was in that nakshatra division then. Thus these days it must start from Purva-Bhadra because the VE is in almost exact conjunction with Beta Pegassi star these days. 8. Nakshatras have an independent existence i.e. they are not clubbed with any month. Thus when the moon is hovering around Ashvini Star, in any month, it is Ashvini nakshatra on that day and so on. This was the system followed till about first centuries of CE, i.e. till the advent of the Surya Sidhanta by Maya the mlechha, when Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis came into vogue. 9. Those rashis were lapped by jyotishis for predictive purposes and they started having their finger in the calendar making pie as well. That was the start of the downfall of the Vedic calendar. However, stalwarts and scholars like Acharya Sayana continued to ignore Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis for calendric months till about fifteenth century AD. This will be evident from npj3.doc in the files section. Kindly do take some time out and go through it to see for yourself the mayhem that the Vedic calendar is being subjected to. The problem, therefore, is that since " Vedic astrologers " cannot do without Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis and that also the so called nirayana ones for predictive purposes, they, however, do not want the calendar reform to let go out of their hands, since nobody will believe their hotch-potch then if the " Makar Sankrantis " of " Vedic astrologers " are not recognized for religious festivals and so on. What is most ironical is that the zodiac which is supposed to comprise these Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis of 12 equal (twelve) division, is non-existent in the Vedas, the Vedanga Jyotisha and even astronomically! Scientifically, Zodiac itself is an imaginary belt, which means that the twelve equal divisions named Mesha, Vrisha etc. of that imaginary belt are all the more imaginary! And it is those very imaginary Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis that are being thrust on the Vedic months Madhu, Madhava etc. In fact, the real dimensions of time in the shape of Madhu, Madhava etc. real seasonal months and the four cardinal points are being replaced by these plethora of Rashis. On top of it, there is a cacaphony going on about the Sayana versus nirayana! If the rashis themselves are non-existent, it is all the more pathetic to call them sidereal or tropical or sayana or nirayana etc. etc. As such, all I am requesting these " Vedic astrologers " is that let them continue to make " absolutely correct predictions from Varaha Hora or Shambu Hora or any other Hora on the basis of any sayana or nirayana rashis and so on, but for God's sake, leave the calendar alone, and do not thrust your non-existent Mesha etc. rashis on the same " . That is the only request to all the Hindus, 90 per cent of whom are " Vedic astrologers " . <it is better left to experts to have a detailed arguments amongst themselves> We have been leaving this issue " to experts " till date and that is why we are celeberating Navratras from today i.e. March 27 instead of Feburayr 26.

We can make many types of permutation and combination just to make calendar on the basis of Moon's, Sun's or both's movements.Any logician can advise various types of calendar just to track down the events. Thing is what the calendar we were using and on which our religion is standing,, we should follow that.In the same way our Muslim Bretherns use Lunar Calendar so they enjoy their festivals according to that,,if they dont use their Vedic Calendar then they should not be counted as Muslims.

Vedic Lunar New year started from the first lunar month of Shishira Ritu, i.e. Magha with the first New Moon after Uttarayana.

The names of Vedic months are Madhu/Chaitra, Madhava/Vaishakha, Shukra/Jyeshtha, Shuchih/Ashadha, Nabhas/Shravana, Nabhasya/Bhadra, Isha/Ashvayuja, Urja/Kartika, Sahas/Agrahayana (Margasheersha) , Sahasya/Pausha, Tapah/Magha, Tapasya/Phalguna. > > > > These names get interchanged with solar as well as lunar months in our shastras. > > > > 4.

Thus these days it must start from Purva-Bhadra because the VE is in almost exact conjunction with Beta Pegassi star these days. > > > > 8.

Scientifically, Zodiac itself is an imaginary belt, which means that the twelve equal divisions named Mesha, Vrisha etc. of that imaginary belt are all the more imaginary! > > > > And it is those very imaginary Mesha, Vrisha etc. rashis that are being thrust on the Vedic months Madhu, Madhava etc. In fact, the real dimensions of time in the shape of Madhu, Madhava etc. real seasonal months and the four cardinal points are being replaced by these plethora of Rashis. On top of it, there is a cacaphony going on about the Sayana versus nirayana!
