The national general secretary of the Sanatan Dharam Sammelan, Shri R.N. Vats announced, "There are no differences with regard to the celebration of Shri Krishna Janamashtami. Some people try to celebrate festivals on different dates without any reason." Shri Vats chaired the meeting of the Sammelan which discussed the matter and said many Sanskrit scholars and astrologers had attended when this decision was made that August 16 was the correct date. >From the Hindu Press International listserv. they can have two days of fireworks .. back to back holidays..
