Jayanti

From: Bhakti Vikasa Swami
Date: Tue, Dec 1, 2009

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati opposed employing the word jayanti for birthdays of eminent national figures, for according to several sastriya references given in chapter fifteen of Hari-bhakti-vilasa, jayanti indicates the specific time when the star Rohini is conjoined with the moon on the krsna-paksa astami of the month of Bhadra, and thus exclusively refers to the avirbhava-tithi of Krsna.

from Sri Bhaktisiddhanta Vaibhava


                 "Chant Hare Krishna and be happy"
हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृष्ण कृष्ण हरे हरे || हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे||
