Shri Sreedhar Nambiarji,

Namaskar!

Many thanks for posting some shlokas from Bhagavata Purana!

These shokas prove conclusively that we are celebrating all our

festivals as per the whims and fancies of Lahiri and Ramanawalas etc.

(thanks to the frauds who call themsleves " Vedic astrologers " ---

especially the nirayana-walas!) instead of the Vedas or the Puranas.

 

In fact I have done a similar exercise in BVB6.doc in the files

section, which was reposted on December 4, 2008, (post No.32417) in

this forum. I am copying below the relevant paras from that post and

would request you and other " Vedic astrologers " to start celebrating

festivals on so called Sayana basis---Makar Sankranti on the shortest

day of the year and Mesha Sankranti on the day of Vernal Equinox and

so on-----since that is what has been advised by not only Bhagaavata

but all the other Puranas.

With regards,

A K Kaul

5. Puranas: I have already quoted hundreds of proofs with

chapter and verse in my Panchangas and other articles. It is no use

to repeat them here again. Suffice to quote a few only from a couple

of Puranas. First the Vishnupurana: 2/8/28-31 and 67-68

 

ayanasyotarasyadav makaram yati bhaskarah

 

tatah kumbham cha menam cha rashe rashyantaram dvija

(28)

 

trishu eteshu atha bhukteshu tato vaishuvatim gatim

 

prayati savita kurvan ahoratram tatah samam

(29)

 

tato ratrih kshayam yati vardhate anudinam

dinam (30)

 

tatashcha mithunasyante param kashtham upagatah

 

rashim karkatam prapya kurute

dakshinayanam (31)

 

" In the beginning of Uttarayana, the sun enters Capricorn

(Makara Rashi) there from going to Kumbha and them Mina. After having

passed through these three signs, it just gains vishuvati

(equinoctial) speed resulting in the day and night being equal on

Mesha. After that, nights start decreasing and the days increasing

correspondingly daily. Then when the sun is in the end of Mithuna

Rashi, i.e. when it is just at the verge of entering Cancer, the day

is the longest then and Dakshnayana starts on that date " .

 

Sharad vsantyor Madhye vishuvam to vibhavyete

 

Tula mesh gate bhanav samratri divam tu

tat (67)

 

Karkatavasthite bhanav dakshiyanamuchete

 

Uttarayanam api uktam makarasthe

divakare (88)

 

" In the midst of sharat ritu and vasanta ritu, vishuvas (equinoxes)

take place with the entry of the sun into Tula (Libra) and Mesha

(Aries) respectively and days and nights become equal on those two

sankrantis. The entry of sun into Cancer (Karkata) is known as

dakshinayana whereas its entry into Maraka is known as Uttarayana "

 

Now Shrimadbhagavata, 5/21/4-6

 

yada mesh tulyor vartate tada ahoratrani samanani bhavanti yada

vrishadishu panchasu cha rashishu charati tada ahani eva vardhante

hrasati cha masi masi ekaika ghatika ratrishu (4) yada

vrishchikadishu panchasu vartate tada ahoratrani viparyayani bhavanti

(5) yavad dakshinayanam ahani vardhante yavad uttarayanam

ratrayah (6)

 

" When the sun enters Mesha and Tula days and nights are equal on

those dates and the day starts getting longer as compared to nights

when the sun passes through Vrisha etc. five rashis then days keep on

increasing and the nights decreasing by one ghati every month.

(After the day and night have become equal on Tula Sankranti) the

nights keep on increasing during the sojourn of five rashis of

Vrishchika etc. In short, during Uttarayana days keep on increasing

till Dakshinayana and after that nights keep on increasing " .

 

Vishnurhdarmotarapurana 3/8/6-8 says

 

tula meshagate bhanav vishuvad dinam uchete,

 

dhanvato mithunantashcha ayane soasya dakshine,

 

" When the sun is in Mesha and Tula, they are the days of Vishuva i.e.

days and nights are equal then. From the end of Dhanu (start of

Makara) Uttarayana starts and from the end of Mithuna (start of

Karkata) Dakshniyana starts "

 

Any discussion on such topics is incomplete without appropriate

references from Shivamahapurana: We just quote one 5/51/54 from this

Purana below:

 

madhavasya site pakshe tritiya ya akshayabida

 

tasyam yo jagadambayah vratam kuryad atandritah…

 

" The tritiya of Shukla paksha of Madhava (!) is know as akshayaya

tritiya. One who observes a fast for Jagadamba on that date (gets

immortal and thousand fold results) "

 

It is to be noted here that Akshaya tritiya is to be

observed in (lunar) Madhava that means according to Shiva-Mahapurana

also Vaishakha does not have any other existence besides Madhava!

Thus the akshyaya tritiya that we will be asked to celebrate on May

12, when solar Madhava will have ended on April 20 and lunar Madhava

shukla paksha will start on April 8, 2005 which means it should be

celebrated actually on April 11, 2005!

 

Now obviously, if as per all the Vedas, Vedanga Jyotisha, Surya

Sidhanta, Bhagavata, Vishnupurana, Vishnudharmotarapurana and Shiva

Mahapurana etc. etc. solar Shravana is another name of Dakshinayana

viz sun in Karkata, it starts on June 21 in 2005. The first shukla

pratipat after that is on July 7, 2005. Therefore, that is the day

when the Lunar Shravana will start in 2005 as per all the Vedas and

Puranas etc. As such, Shravana Purnima viz Raksha Bandhan and

Amarnath Yatra etc. should be celebrated on July 21 in 2005. Why are

our panchangakars asking us to celebrate it on August 19 instead?

Only because they treat the entire Hindu society as ignorant fools

who have no idea about the criteria of any festivals! Or is it that

the panchangakars do not know anything themselves but are just

copying from others like blind following blind?

 

Similarly, Janmashtami should be celebrated on the Krishna-

paksha Ashtami following that Shravana Purnima i.e. on July 27 in

2005. But we will be asked to celebrate it on August 26/27. Why? For

God's sake do ask your " Panditji " and let me know what he says!
