India/Living Heritage : Indian Calendar
From WikiEducator
The land of Bharat is marked by sacred rivers, mountains, caves, trees, plants and the temples. The Calendar Panchangam of Spiritual Time is marked by days and events which are meant to sustain the shraddha of the generation towards the culture and heritage. This page features such days and events which have been observed since time immemorial.
For want of another illustration which every child with Indian cultural background can grasp easily, the following picture is provided. It is all-inclusive and all-encompassing.
Guru Purnima
This is the day dedicated to Sage Veda Vyasa. This year it falls on the 18th Friday , July 2008. Puja is offered to the Guru by the disciples according to the Parampara on this day across the country and wherever the lineage is alive and active.
All spiritual traditions are located in the Sri Chakra
The Lotus Feet and the Sandals of Guru are equally sacred for a disciple and they worshipped as spiritual symbols of the Divine. The fifth generation disciples of Sri Bhaskararaya like[[1]]follow the discipline of Sri Chakra Puja even to the present day. The Vedic Centres of Learning, like the one at Sringeri, established by Adi Sankara also maintain the Sri Chakra tradition.
