Why we're switching to Mayapura Vaishnava Calendar dates

Our year is filled with holidays honoring the advent and passing of saints and avatars of Krishna. Janmashtami, for example, is Krishna's appearance day, celebrated on a grand scale at every temple. Vaishnava calendar dates vary from year to year and by location because they are based on the lunar calendar. Here at Krishna.com we display the major holy days according to the dates and times for Mayapur, India, the sacred place where Lord Chaitanya appeared. For example, when it's Janmashtami in Mayapur, that's the date we'll list on our Krishna.com calendar page. To get more accurate dates for your location, go to www.krishnadays.com.

Each of the items in our calendar are links that take you to more information about that entry. So if you're not sure what Janmashtami is, click on it. You'll get to a page that will explain all about that holy day.
