[Advaita-l] Sringeri Panchanga

[D.V.N.Sarma డి.వి.ఎన్.శర్మ]

Anandji,

I am not advocating sayana system. Use nirayana system taking into
consideration correct or mutually agreed ayanamsa depending upon
what you consider the Aries 0. It is meaningless to use a panchanga which
uses one ayanamsa for eclipses and another for tithis.

regards,
Sarma.
