I am forwarding an excellent posting on Sri Jyanthi
Date NirNayam by Sriman Dileepan in the Malolan Net

Thanks to Sri Mani Varadarajan and other devotees ,
who have helped with important postings earlier on

>The rule for determining Sri Jayanthi is as follows (from

>Swami, Published by Sri Nrisimha Priya Trust, page 97):
>
>General: Sri Krishna Jayanthi is on the day of Ashtami/Rohini
>in the month of Simha.

>Munithrayam:
>------------
>Has two Vradhams, Sri Jayanthi Vradham and Janmashtami Vradham.
>If Ashtami and Rohini are present even for one vinadi, then
>both Vradhams must be observed on that day. Otherwise, Janmashtami
>Vradham must be observed on the day of Ashtami without any Saptami
>before it, and Sri Jayanthi Vradham must be observed on the Rohini
>day without any Kruththikai before it. If the later happens, two
>vradhams must be observed.
>
>This year, we find Ashtami and Rohini together on Sep 10th in India
>as well as all over continental USA. Thus, for Munithraiya Sampradayam
>both Janmashtami Vradaham as well as Sri Jayanthi vradham can be
>observed on Sep 10th both in India as well as continental USA.
>In Hawai, Ashtami and Rahini appear together on Sep 9th. Therefore,
>the observance must be on Sep 9th for Munithraiyas residing in Hawaii.

>Sri Sannidhi
>------------
>First, two definitions, (i) Sudda Ashtami is a day with Ashtami not
>preceded by Saptami, and (ii) Sudda Rohini is a day with Rohini not
>preceded by Kriththikai. Sri Sannidhi sishyas celebrate Sri Jayanthi
>on the day when Sudda Ashtami coincides with Sudda Rohini. If Sudda
>Ashtami does not coincide with Sudda Rohini, then, Sri Jayanthi
>must be celebrated on Mrugasheerusham coinciding with either Navami
>or Dasami.
>
>This year, in India, Sudda Rohini is on Sep 10th, but Sudda Ashtami
>is on Sep 11th. They do not coincide. Therefore, sishyas in India
>must celebrate Sri Jayanthi on Sep 11th. However, in the U.S. from
>the East to West coast, (not including Hawaii), Sudda Ashtami and
>Sudda Rohini coincide on Sep 10th. Therefore, Sri Jayanthi is on
>Sep 10th.

>In Hawaii, Sudda Rohini is on Sep 9th and Sudda Ashtami is on Sep 10.
