BahudAnya Year Calendar

Sri :
Srimate Sri Lakshmi Nrusimha Para Brahmane Namaha
Srimate Sri Lakshmi - Nrusimha Divya PAdukA Sevaka -
Srivan Shatagopa Sri NArAyana Yateendra MahAdesikAya Namaha
Dear bhaktAs of Sriman NArAyanA,
Namo NArAyanA . kindly accept adiyen's pranAmams.
By the blessings of Sriman NArAyanA , adiyen has compiled the calendar
for this Tamil year ( only from "Ani" ie. June 15th ). This is in no means
complete since adiyen doesn't have the information on the thirunakshatrams
of many AchAryAs esp. from Munitraya sampradAyam , ThenAchAryA sampradAyam
etc. Adiyen closely followed the Desika Darsana Diary & Guide , published
by Sri sevA swAmi & this compilation is impossible without that. The book
titled "AchArya Vaibhavam" of VishistAdvaitA Research Center was of
immense help to obtain the information regarding the thirunakshatrams of
many AchAryAs .
1. Adiyen is puzzled to notice that "Sri RAma Navami" is not at all
mentioned in the Desika Darsana Diary & Guide ( DDD & G). Can someone
kindly post the actual date.
2. The numbers at the bracket of DwAdasi represents the "nAzhi" (1
nAzhi = 24 minutes ) after sunrise , before which the ekadasi fasting
should be broken ( dwAdasi pAranai) . In general , it is very good to
perform dwAdasi pAranai before 6 nAzhis .
3. The "Avani Avittam" ( UpAkarmA ) for Yajur , Rg & sAmA falls on
different days. It is interesting however that, as per DDD & G , Yajur &
Rg upAkarmA falls on the "Adi" month itself & sAmA upAkarmA in "Ani" month
, but not on "Avittam" star . as per DDD & G. Then why do we call them as
"Avani Avittam" ? ( atleast last year , the yajur upAkarmA was properly on
Avani Avittam itself ).
4. Kindly note that Vaishnava Saraswati PoojA falls on Sep 30th. Sri
VaishnavAs don't celebrate this as a function (not even be a vyAjA for
performing a special HayagrIva ArAdhanA that day ). Only those Sri
VaishnavAs who are tied up with professions like weaving , carpentry etc ,
_may_ celebrate & that too with Lord HayagrIvA's (bestower of
knowledge to Goddess Saraswati) ArAdhanA / poojA . The special HayagrIva
ArAdhanA needs to be performed on the Sri HayagrIva Jayanti ( Avani ,
Sravanam) . Reference : AchAra - anushtAna - sampradAya elaboration by Sri
U.Ve. V.N. GopAla DesikAchAryA .
5. If someone can kindly post the dates of eclipses at USA , Singapore
, Canada , India etc , it would be very helpful.
If there are some issues like USA / India time difference that might
affect the calendar , kindly point them out . Also if some errors are
observed in this calendar , kindly do point them out .
