I am interested in learning about these special days. Is there a reference that describes them? How often does this occur? Once a year? Is there a special significance to this day?

Guest guest Report post Posted April 12, 2000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 David, Haribol! >I am interested in learning about these special days. Is there a >reference that describes them? How often does this occur? Once a >year? Is there a special significance to this day? You will be happy you asked this question! (If I err in my naive description, I hope someone will correct me, as if I needed to say that ;-). Sri Rama Navami is the day on which Sri Ram was born and later married to Sita. The story of his life is given in Valmiki's Ramayana. One popular translation is C. Rajagopalachari's. The import of this day, which is generally marked by fasting in the morning followed by feasting in the afternoon, is that it presents us with an opportunity to consider the good in others, to see their noble virtues, evaluate how we can help, and consider our own duties, regardless of how painful it may be to carry them out. You may download software for calculating the Vaisnava calendar from http://www.iskcon.org/calendar/ .

Guest guest Report post Posted April 13, 2000 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Devendranath, Hare Krishna-- The default place to put the file is in the same directory where the VCAL.EXE program is, with the name that you gave it with an extension of ..VCC. For example, I installed the program in "\Vaisnava Calendar", and when I entered a file name of "CAL2000" it will place the output in "\Vaisnava Calendar\CAL2000.VCC". This is the file you can open with Notepad or whatever to print. The program also leaves a file with a .VCD extension; this is apparently an intermediate scratch file; you can delete it if you want. If you have trouble, let me know; since it's an MS-DOS program rather than a Windows program, it takes a certain amount of getting used to. Incidentally, the doc-vcal.txt file which comes with the VCAL distribution makes for an interesting read.

Guest guest Report post Posted April 13, 2000 Thanks for the post, jpd! I'll checkout the software; but fear it is for a WINtel machine, and I am using an Apple. ...namaste, David David LaGrone Your AdvoCare Distributor P. O.

Haribol, David-- Indeed it is for MS-DOS. A quick and reliable resource, then, would be at http://www.iskcon.net/ies/festival.html for your convenience. I would still go ahead and download that program, though, if nothing else for the list of the festivals and what they celebrate. jpd -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Personal Privacy 6.0.2 iQA/AwUBOPaf3RqkT4oaii17EQKnhgCghwf1my4ekbH5xMr+LvGSQf1LwQsAoOCL gKfdUX8+PnCtAjJw4WBkdzSU =eB1M -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted April 20, 2000 Om Krishnaaya Namah Hi David, >>I am interested in learning about these special days. Is there a reference that describes them? How often does this occur? Once a year? Is there a special significance to this day?<< As was mentioned by another list member Sri Rama Navami is the day Lord Ramachandra took birth on earth. Of course, it happens only once a year. If you downloaded the Vaishnava Calender program from ISKCON, I think there is a file which deals with some of the festivals. If possible, every time one comes up, I'll try to write something about it as we go along.
