"Sri Navadvip Panjika" was designed according to Vaisnava Smriti - "Śrī Hari-bhakti-vilāsa" (by Sanātana Gosvāmī"). 6) full support for ISKCON: Both algorithms of calculating have been implemented: -- a) using Mayapur city (near Navadvipa, West Bengal, India) -- b) using the 'Current location' This means that the calendar implements both standards of ISKCON: before 1990 and after 1990. The first original standard was established by Founder-Acharya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, and it was widely used in ISKCON from the beginning to year 1990. This standard uses Shri Mayapur as the location for calculating the day, when Vaishnava events are celebrated all around the world. In 1990 the second standard was proposed: instead of using Shri Mayapur it was advised to use current location. Notes: Dates, calculated with using 'Current location' option (i.e. using alternative algorithm) correspond with current ISKCON calendar - "Gcal 2011" (Gaurabda Calendar written by Gopalapriya prabhu from ISKCON Bratislava). 7) selectable value of Horizon parameter: -- a) use Celestial (Astronomical, True) horizon -- b) use Earth-sky (Visible, Local) horizon Read more at: https://vaishnavacalendar.blogspot.com/2025/03/horizon.html 8) configurable value of Ayanāṃśaḥ 9) supports only Vaishnava (or Bhagavata) Ekadashi which are Shuddha (pure): an observance is based on the rule that Dasami (the tenth day) during a lunar fortnight should have ended before Arunodaya (96 minutes period before sunrise on the Ekadasi or the 11th day in a lunar fortnight).
