You are doing yeoman service for people like us who temporarily find ourselves in USA as I am now. We are able to perform our rituals without missing them.
Thank you.

D/ Sir

In the Samkalpa it is said Greeshma Ritu ( Sravana Masa- Pournami; Dakshinayane); Some say this should be Varsha Ritu. Please guide further

    kgopalan · August 15, 2017 at 4:29 pm

    chithrai- vaikasi=vasantha ruthu; ani-adai=greeshma ruthu; avani-puratasi=varsha ruthu; aipasi-karthikai=sarat ruthu; markali-thai=hemantha ruthu; masi-panguni=cicira ruthu. this is based on sun movement to every month. sowra months are mesham, rishabam, mithunam, katakam, simham, kanni, thulam, vrischikam, thanus, makaram, kumbam,meenam.

    based on moon movement from sukla paksha prathamai to amavasai chandramaana month will come.month names are chaithram, vaishakam, jyeshtam; aashadam,ciraavanam; pathrapatham; aashvinam, karthikam, markaciram, pousham, maakam, palkunam, this year from from 23-7-2017 to 21-08-2017 is shraavana month. gayathri japa sankalpam falls on 6-8-2017 this year. so grishma ruthu is correct. only after 21-8-2017 varsha ruthu comes.. soura month is the basis for calculating ruthus.soura month aavani starts from 17-8-2017 from which starts varsha ruthu and for people following soura month . for people following chandramana month only from 21-8-2017 varsha ruthu starts.

BEST BEST BEST. My Heart Filled Up Totally. Hence No Words.

AN APPEAL
With reference to Mr. Varadhatajan’s comments. I would like to mention , that with the blessings of Kanchi periyava/acharyas, the Vedabavan at Secunderabad has grown to the size of big Banion tree and trained several young children to become Gananapati’s.. The guidance of S/Sri.Venkatrama,Swamynadan& Raman Ganapathigals has been the driving force in moulding the children as Veda pandits.
To strengthen, this institution and to support them in continuing their yeomen service, we the Asthigas in particular and all Hindus in general , who are residing abroad & NRIs , also, should come forward, to donate liberally in cash and kind to Vedhabavan and strengthen the hands of Sri Venkatrama Ganapatigal, Managing Trustee in his sacred task.
Regards.
Jaya Sankara, hara hara shankara.

Hi All,
Due to the eclipse on 07th, August, 2017, Upakarma was performed by me yesterday (September 06th, 2017) in India. Since there was a death in my family on 7th September, Gayathri Japam could not be performed on August 08th. Hence, please advise on when I can perform the Gayathri Japam.

S Ravichandrran · August 11, 2018 at 5:53 pm

Kindly this year also send us audio of both, UPAKARMA and Gayatri Japam Sankalpam
