Dear All :

 

Earlier I had sent this note . It needs some elaboration .

 

This year is an unusual one as was the case in 1963 , where such confusion existed between choice of celebration of KrishNa chaturdai SnAnam in the month of purattAsi or Iyppasi .

 

Most of the Panchangams have recommended Friday ( Oct 16) late night for snAnam and

Oct 17 early morning for celebration of DipAwaLi PaNDikai .

 

Based on the titi nirNayam (determination) for DipAwai this year , Sri Ahobila Matam

sishyAs have been asked to celebrate snAnam on Nov 14 Saturday late night ( pinniravu) and the Pandikai on Nov 15 . I plan to follow this ruling from my AchAryan as Sri Matam Sishyan .

 

Please consult with your own AchArya Paramparai about the selection between the two dates . For those who are not strict on such matters might choose Oct 16/17 , which is

the national holiday , it seems in India . Most of the PanchAngams for USA suggest

Oct 16/17 celebration .

 

There are two traditions in celebrating DipAwaLi . One is for children and Social / holiday ( Fireworks , new vastrams etc) . The other is more of a Vaidheekam kind for alakshmi pareehAram by Naraka chaturdasi snAnam .

 

During this year , the first type of celebration is on Oct 16/17 and the second type is on

November 14/15 .

Dear Sri SrinivAsa:

 

Oct 16 is the right one for celebrating Naraka Chaturdhasi SnAnam ( early morning)

and celebrate DheepAvaLi on Oct 16. Oct 17 is AmAvasyai & Thulaa Ravi.
