Guest guest Posted January 15, 2005 Report Share Posted January 15, 2005 dear friend, Janmatithi is reckoned by Indian(Bengali) calender. And this is used for celebrating their birthday in all Ramakrishna Maths and institutions. Corresponding date in Christian calender varies from year to year. Several years ago, in case of Swami Vivekananda, Government of India declared Swamiji's birthday in that year (according to Christian calendar) as Youth day. Hence swamiji's birthday is celebrated twice these days - once according to Christian Calendar as youth day and the normal janma tithi which is according to Bengali Calendar.
