Our specially designed Gaurabda Calendar is the most informative spiritual calendar giving location-accurate dates and times for the Vaishnava fasts, feasts and festivals. Ekadasi/Mahadvadasi fasting days, acharya appearance/disappearance anniversary dates, and the Madhava tithis – the appearance anniversaries of the Supreme Lord Krishna and His Expansions/Incarnations – are all clearly highlighted in differently colored dateboxes so that you would not inadvertently miss the benefits of observing them.
Panchanga (astronomical almanac) data such as Masa, Paksha, Tithi, Nakshatra, Solar Month (Sun's Rasi), Solar Day, Tri-Sandhya timings of Sunrise-Noon-Sunset, the inauspicious Rahu-kala period and the spiritually most auspicious Brahma-muhurta period are all given on a daily basis. The Panchanga data enables one to use the Gaurabda Calendar to do basic astrological services. Like choosing a Krishna-conscious name for a newborn based on birth nakshatra. Or finding the tithi anniversary dates for a death event.
All this information is packed within one piece of A3 art card (six months on the front and six months on the back) to keep printing cost to minimum and enable the calendar to be calculated and printed for any location in the world at short notice.

GAURABDA means Golden Age, symbolised by the advent of the Golden Avatara Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the most merciful incarnation of the Supreme Lord Krishna, in 1486. He promoted the chanting of the Hare Krishna mahamantra as the best means of salvation in this age of Kali.

Srila Prabhupada said the Golden Age will check Kali's infuence as more and more devotees chant the Hare Krishna mahamantra. It will last for 10,000 years; after which the
Symptoms of Kali-yuga will manifest fully.
GAURABDA also refers to the synodic year that ends on the Golden Avatara's appearance anniversary on Purnima (full Moon) tithi of Govinda month - celebrated annually as Sri Gaura Purnima - in the Vaishnava Calendar/Panchanga system designed and implemented by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura.
