Hari Om
The most important philosophy and effectively the only mission of this website is to actively participate and substantially contribute for the natural formation of a strong National and Global interfaith movement respecting sentiments, core principles and values of all Religions of Humankind to create and promote a True ALL FAITH - Classless and Casteless Society (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam*) as envisaged by the Maharishis and Seers of Vedic Religion, which is committed to guarantee self realization at individual level and the attainment of universal peace at mundane level.
*Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (“vasudha’, the earth; “iva’, is ; and “kutumbakam’, family) is a Sanskrit phrase that means that the whole world is one united (single) family.
The concept originates in the Vedic scripture Maha Upanishad (Chapter 6, Verse 72):
ayam bandhurayam neti ganana laghuchetasam udaracharitanam tu vasudhaiva kutumbakam
Only small men (with narrow mindedness) discriminate saying: One is a relative; the other is a stranger. For those who live magnanimously with expansion of mind, the entire world constitutes but a family.
All the contents of our portal are based upon the
Vedic guidance rendered by the great sages, scholars and learned
authors through sastras, satsangs, literature, books and advices.
However the practice of the same is to done by the individuals as
per their own best judgment. We do not guarantee or assure the
correctness of the contents by the scale of the so called modern
science.

The Tamil calendar is a derivative of the old Hindu solar
calendar and is based on the sidereal year (i.e. the time taken
for one revolution of the Earth around the sun, or the mean time
taken by the sun to return to the same position relative to the
background of the fixed stars in the sky). In contrast, most
other languages of India (Telugu, Hindi) use lunar calendars.
The Twelve Months
The Tamil new year usually falls in mid-April and the calendar
consists of twelve months. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, the
number of days in a given month can vary between years. Moreover,
Tamil months may even have 32 days. For example, the month of
Vaikasi had 32 days in 1996 and 31 days in 1998.
Similarly, Aani had 31 days in 1996 and 32 days in
1998.
The following table shows when the first day of
each month occurs:
