Presiding over a two-day state-level seminar on the &#8220;Drigganitha&#8221; almanac, based on the movement of the sun, moon and eclipses, he pointed out that the people were &#8220;totally confused over the different dates and time given in Aryabhatta-based almanac for observation of Hindu festivals.&#8221; He said the &#8220;Chaturmasa Varaha Puranam&#8221; was found to be more authentic for astronomical calculations. However, there were arguments among Madhwa followers themselves over the &#8220;Drigannitha system&#8221; based on modern astronomical calculations which some felt &#8220;were contrary to calculations in Aryabhatta almanac.&#8221; He stressed the need for a detailed debate over the issue and evolving of a consensus on a &#8220;new, uniform almanac for observing Hindu festivals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News Report UDUPI, INDIA, November 29, 2005: Udupi Pejawar Mutt Seer Vishvesha Thirtha Swami today called for a consensus in,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5743\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hinduismtoday.com\/hpi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
