Correct dates of festivals for 2010-11

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

Jai Shri Ram!

 

Here is the list of correct dates of some of the important fasts, festivals

and fairs for 2010-11.

 

 

 

This list has been compiled as per the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisham, Puranas

and siddhantas. In fact, this is almost a ditto copy of the list of

festivals prepared by Shri Darshaney Lokesh in his " Mohan Kriti

Tithi-Patrak " in Hindi, priced at Rs. 80; postage extra.

 

His address is: Shri Darshaney Lokesh; 276, Gama-1, Greater Noida

(UP)-201310

 

(Ph.0120-6544628; 09412354036)

 

 

 

On perusing this list, you will see that there is a lot of difference from

the dates of festivals as per Rashtirya Panchanga, which is actually

" almighty " Lahiri Panchanga, and is thus neither as per the Vedas nor the

Siddhantas, nor even modern astronomy, leave alone dharmashastras!

 

Those Lahiri festivals are being observed because we are surrounded by

" Vedic astrologers " who are actually anything but Vedic. And since those

" Vedic astrologers " cannot " make correct predictions (sic!) " from any

Rashichakra other than that of Lahiri, that is why they want the entire

Hindu community to celebrate muhurtas and also festivals on " Lahiri "

days!

 

It is, though, a moot point as to how accurate (sic!) their predictions on

the basis of " almighty " Lahiri Rashichakra are, since---just to cite one

example---it was on the basis of that very Rashichakra that the NDA

government had been advised by Jyotishis galore to advance the elections by

several months, and the results are there for anybody to see---Poor

Vajpayee's Rajya suffered an " akalamrityu " ---thanks to " Vedic astrologers "

and their " Vedic astrology " .

 

You will find from this list that these jyotishis want us to celebrate Pitra

Amavasya on the day of Dipavali, celebrate shradha paksha during a time

which is very auspicious otherwise, celebrate kharamasa and dhanurmasa when

they are not prevailing and so on and so forth! They are also thrusting

down our throat an adhika Vaishakha masa in 2010, when there is no

adhikamasa as per the Vedanga Jyotisham during this year!

 

It may be of interest to these " Vedic astrologers " that in the past, all the

horoscopes were prepared from panchangas based on siddhantas like the Surya

Siddhanta by Maya the mlechha, and all the siddhantas talk of " Bhanor Makar

Sankranteh Shanmasah uttarayanam, karkyades-tathiava syat shanmasa

dakshinayanam. Dwirashinathah ritavastatoapi shishiradayah, meshadayo

dwadashaite hbagastaireva vatsarah " i.e " The six months of Uttarayana start

from the day of Makar Sankranti (the shortest day of the year) and the six

months of Dakshinayana from the day of Karkata Sankranti (the longest day of

the year). Thence also are reckoned the ritus like Shishira etc. of two

months each. These twelve rashis, commencing with Mesha are the months of

which a year is made up. " (Surya Siddhanta -Madyamadhikara 9-10)

 

 

 

In fact, the same thing has been repeated in almost all the Puranas, whether

the Bhagavata or the Vishnu Purana or the Shiva Purana etc. etc. that

Makara Sankranti is the shortest day of the year, Karakta Sankranti the

longest day of the year, Mesha Sankranti the day of Vernal Equinox (when day

is equal to night), Tula Sankranti the day of Autumn Equinox, when the day

is equal to night again! All these points have been clarified in BVB6.docs;

1999b.docs etc.

 

All these clarifications and pramanas from shastras as well as modern

astronomy were sent to all the dharmacharyas. If in spite of that, these

jagadgurus, who are supposed to be sarvajnyas, or " his holienss of art of

this thing or that thing " or babas and yogis and tantriks etc. are acting

like blind and deaf towards such a travesty of dharma, we must certainly

try to find the reasons for the same!

 

What is all the more surprising is that Arya Samajis, who are supposed to go

by the Vedas and nothing but the Vedic lore, are also succumbing to

" almighty " Lahiri Rashichakra which is anything but Vedic---since there are

no Mesha etc. Rashis in the Vedas, as such no Makar or Kumbha Sankranti---

nor siddhantic, least of all as per modern astronomy!

 

All these " nimitas " (omens) are certainly not good for the Hindu community

as a whole!

 

It is, as such, a Clarion Call to a common Hindu that he/she must revolt

against such tyranny in the name of phalita-jyotisha by " Vedic astrologers "

who are anything but Vedic, and start celebrating all the festivals and

muhurtas on correct days!

 

 

 

Jai Shri Ram!
