Sri Gaudiya Vaisnava Calendar 2010-2011
Please note that the following dates are based on the Bengali Vaishnava Calendar, Sri Gaudiya Parva Talika, and all dates and times listed here are calculated for Bhubaneswar, India, in the same time zone as Sri Nabadwip Dham, Mayapur, India.
Because the Vaishnava Calendar is a lunar calendar, these events are often celebrated on different days in different countries. Please contact your local ISKCON center for local dates and times. To download your own calendar or sign up for email Vaisnava Calendar reminders, click here.
* Notes: Ekadasi style prasad is observed on festival days that are in glorification of Visnu Tattva such as Janmastami and Lord Balaram's Appearance Day as well as the bi-monthly Ekadasi days. Grain prasad is observed after the recommended fasting period on all festival days that not Visnu Tattva such as Sri Radhastami. Ekadasi style break fast is considered to be followed by observing simple prasad prepared from roots, fruits and milk, offered with devotion. Spicing is with salt and pepper only. Please see details below.
** Vaisnava Appearance and 'Disappearance' days are recommended to be observed by glorification of the Vaisnava Thakura by seva, readings and bhajans. A half day fast followed by grain prasad feast can also be observed.
