Dear Friends,

I have heard from more than one source that
some smaartas and some Sri Vaishnavas will
be observing Yajur Upakarma on July 13.
Observing Upakarma so early in the year
is a rare occurrence that the Sri Vaishnava
Sadachara Nirnaya mentions only in passing
and with the comment that it is disputed as
to whether it should be done in mithuna-aashaada
at all. 

My question to any and all: is there a good
explanation for why some authorities are 
recommending such an early date this year?
Apastamba, whom Yajur Vedins follow in this 
matter, is clear that the aparahna of (lunar) 
Sraavana Paurnami is his chosen date for this 
observance. Barring a good explanation, I feel
more comfortable observing Upakarma next month
in August.

Please email me directly as I get the chance
to visit this group every day.

Thanks,
adiyen ramanuja dasan,
Mani
