All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga Gaudiya Festival Dates 2007 to 2008 Sri Gaurabda 522 |

This calendar is based on the translation of the Bengali
Vaisnava Calendar, "Sri Gaudiya Parvva Talika," compiled by Sriyukta
Dibyendu Bhattacharyya, M.Sc., B.T., Jyotibhushan, Headmaster.

Translated to English by Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharyya
Maharaj. |

All dates and times listed here are
calculated for Kolkata, India, as referred to at Sri
Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Sri Nabadwip Dham. |
|
During his 21st
World Tour, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj
instructed that throughout the world the devotees will follow this
calendar for all dates except for Ekadasis and their associated paran
(break fast) times which may be calculated locally according to the lunar
calendar. In this way the days of Appearance, Disappearance, and other
Pastimes of the Lord and His great devotees will be observed on the actual
day they took place in India, rather than according to the technical local
calculation of the 'tithi' (lunar day) which often had devotees observing,
for example, the Appearance of Mahaprabhu a day before He actually
appeared here in Nabadwip. |
