    Dear Friends... If you are a BELIEVER IN AUSPICIOUS TIMINGS AND DAYS...

    .. And if you have any Important and Great Life-time Ambition or Scheme or Plan to START...

    ...Well, it is the best opportunity to make a Beginning today at a good time...

    Since the Significance of Tamil-New Year is... the day of SUCCESS...

    Hence the Hindu-Keralites celebrate this day as Vishu-festival day... (with a unique custom of looking at the mirror... first at the early morning)....the Reflection of Fruits and other fertile Rich Substances, alongside God's picture.... praying for SUCCESS for the whole of ensuing year.

    Same day is the New year day for the Hindu- Bengalis too... in the name of "NABA-BARSHA"...

    And as BIHU by Assamese... and as BAISAKI festivals of Hariyana, Punjab and Himachal-Pradesh.

    They too pray on this day for the ensuing year of Success.

    Because Astrologically speaking... today the April-14th...the planet Sun changes House from Meenam the Guru's own House ...to the next House, Mesham, the Sun's exaltment(Uccha) House.

    Both the Planets Guru(Jupiter) and Soorya(Sun) are the most important planets to render Success in ones Life.

    So the influence of both these Good planets will be available to us in our Inaugural activities towards the future.

    Wishing one and all of You.... the SUCCESSFUL NEW YEAR....from today the April-14... Yaavarum Kaelhir.!!!

    Anban,
    Sudhaama.
    Most INVALUABLE TREASURE is.. Time.
    Spend it MEANINGFULLY Spread effectively.

    Decided to declare.. Tamil New Year.. from PONGAL DAY.!.

    Tamilnadu Chief Minister Mr. Karunanidhi recently announced...

    ...that suitable action will be taken to declare...

    ...THAI-PONGAL Day as the Tamil-New Year day too... from 2009.

    Justifying this decision... he quotes the recommendation of some Tamil Sch olars... who propose so...

    ...basing on Tamil-Literature.!

    Is it Correct?... Does the Tamil Literature say so.?

    Sudhama Sir,

    I do not know whether any other linguistic group (of course Chinese name their years with specific animals just before new year arrival) has named their years or not as Tamils. If we accept Thai 1st as new year day, how shall we name.
    Sorry I cannot accept Thai 1st as Tamil new year day as my parents, grand-parents, relatives etc. celebrated Chiththirai 1st as Tamil New year day. Any way I will celebrate Thai 1st as Pongal day.

    I have already posted here in detail... under several postings..

    ...analysing the rich intricacies and the unparallelly appreciable basis for our Great Tamil Ancestors'..

    ... decision to stipulate the Tamil New Year from the First date of entry of the planet Sun into Mesha Rasi..

    .i.e. on or about April-14 every year.

    Astronomically that is the best basis for relevant New year Poojas, Astrological calculations as well as other considerations pertaining to New Year.

    In brief...I reiterate that Pongal day of Makara-sankaranthi is holy in one way... whille the Chiththirai first date is holy in another way.

    Rather Chiththirai month is the commencement of Sun as UCHCHA (Exalted) becoming the most powerful...

    ..when compared to other months of the year.

    Sun being the Planet of Power, Justice and Success... His most powerful month has been taken as the month of commencement of New Year .

    Whereas the Pongal day is a day of Gratitude to Sun and Nature as also all others concerned including the Animals and Birds....

    .. apart from the Mankind of the Society at large.

    Such a Pongal concept has no relevance nor purpose linked with the sense and basis for New Year.

    The present system of Chithrai as the commencement to ensure the whole year to be successful..

    ...by means of honouring our ruling Planet Sun during his Crown status ..

    ...by exaltation in the month of Chiththirai... is the best system to be continued.

    For Tamilians the Planet Sun is the MOST IMPORTANT for all considerations

    ..on the REAL Tamil New Year Day... as per Hindu Custom.

    ...the Zero degree Commencing point of 365 days cycle.

    ..which conforms to Astrology and Astronomy of Vedic Sastras.

    Whereas the Thai -1.. has no connection for the Calendar Year.

    ..except the relevance as the Final day of Grateful prayer to Sun God... for about 3 months..

    ...after commencing the Sun-prayer... at Sunrise on Deepavali day.

    One Doubt.!.. Should the factor of Tamil Panchangam coupled NEW YEAR...

    ... be decided by Pulavars and Politicians..?.

    .. Especially the Atheists... who know Not the values of Vedic Science.?

    ..Or the Vedic Astronomers.???
