DAda Giri I could not read your message. Looks u use strange DADAGIRI Fonts! Til kumari sister: this astro stuff looks tough for beginners! Mysty! U r always Mystical. Username: AYANAMSA is not decided by Mangal Raj Joshi. This is caused by the Wobbling of the axis of the EARth, the so called Precission (ie Ayanamsa) that completes one circle in 25,000 Years. 23 degrees of Ayanamsa for this year equals 24 days. Thats why The Summar solstice falls on Shad 7 instead of Shravan Shakranti.
