Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Dear Kaul ji, You have categorically and critically claimed that we are celebrating festivals on the wrong dates or in other words, the dates chosen for our festivals (by the panchanga makers - including the govt of india) do not follow the criteria available in our ancient texts for determining the dates for each festival. I think we should have an open mind to review whether and to what extent we are adhering to the criteria given in the ancient texts. In order to do this, we need to first identify those criteria. Kaulji, I would like to request you to kindly make a post (or direct me to a post) where we can identify the criteria for ascertaining the dates for the major festivals of India. I would like to invite some of the scholars (and panchanga experts) to comment on these criteria and also delve on how far have we moved away from these criteria (rightly or wrongly). Just one thing, lets keep 'Vedic Astrologer' and 'Rashis' out of this discussion as these are highly charged words!! regards, raj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
