Guest guest Posted June 12, 2003 Report Share Posted June 12, 2003 Om Sri Gurave namah Dear Visti, Sorry for the delay in replying to you, but I suppose you should choose the lunar month, as per tradition. I believe in many parts of India, the lunar calendar is still followed. I also checked with Sanjayji, and he also confirmed that Varahamihira too followed the lunar calendar. Best regards, Sarbani ---- |Hare Rama Krishna| Dear Sarvani, Namaste. As per Padma Purana the Bhima Ekadashi starts on Jyestha Sukla Paksha. As per modern panchang, this is tomorrow. However in those times the Maasa was started from the Full Moon, hence Jyestha Sukla Paksha is not tomorrow, but exatly 1 month later. Krishna Paksha stays the same. Does this mean tomorrow isn't Bhima ekadashi and i can atleast have a whole glass of water? This is quite important as this is a very difficult fast.
