Note that here at Audarya we will be observing ekadasi on August 4th, as this is the appropriate day as per local California calculation arrived at by Sri Caitanya Saraswata Matha. So if you are coming to the Ratha-yatra festival at Audarya this coming weekend (all are invited), be sure to observe ekadasi with us on Friday.
I was wondering if in Audarya you generally follow Sri Caitanya Saraswata Matha calendar instead of ISKCON one? I’m asking because ISKCON calendar actually says:
5 Aug 2006 Sa Ekadasi (suitable for fasting) G Indra Jyestha *
Fasting for Pavitraropana Ekadasi
Radha Govinda Jhulana Yatra begins
6 Aug 2006 Su Dvadasi G Viskumba Mula
Break fast 05:18 - 09:56 (Daylight saving not considered).
Srila Rupa Gosvami -- Disappearance
Sri Gauridasa Pandita -- Disappearance
(Daylight saving not considered)
Not that it’s important.

No, but I think it may be a good idea to do so, and it really works for the festival. Note that the title of this thread should say AUGUST 4TH.
So opulent feast then! Another lesson in differentiation between principles and details. Guru Maharaja ki jay!
