Dear friends,

 

I have posted a copy of Aadesha Patra of Jagadguru Shankaracharya of

Dwarka, which was uploaded by Shri Narayan Prasad in the files section

of hinducalendar forum.

 

This aadesha Patra was copied by him from Marathi edition of Shri S. B.

Dikshit's work " jyotisha shastrachai itihas " . It was issued by His

Holiness Jagadguru Shankaracharya of Dwarka more than a hundred years

back on a representation made by Shri Lele. This aadesha-patra clearly

advises that we must celebrate all the festivals on the basis of sayana

rashis, as per dharmashastras.

 

(Shri Hari Malla, pl. note!)

 

Ironically, however, that very mutt itself is celebrating all the

festivals on the basis of so called nirayana (almighty Lahiri!)rashis,

most probably, because that mutt does not have the inclination to

prepare a correct panchanga on its own!

 

Shri Darshaney Lokesh can approach that mutt with his correct

Tithi-patrak.

 

Jai Shri Ram!

PS I am reqeusting Sanskrit scholars to give a running translation of

this aadesha patra in English.
