[edit] Date of Janmashtami ?
When is Janmashtami ? Can someone confirm the date, please ? theholidayspot.com says August 26, but 123greetings.com says August 27. I am quite confused. -- PFHLai 20:16, 2005 August 24 (UTC)
Nichalp,
Do not move the page to that entitled just "Janmashtami" - - Krishna Janmashtami or Krishnaashtami are more correct terms, obviously; Janmashtami as referring to the birth of Krishna is a colloquialism that assumes that no other great person was ever born on an "Ashtami". In any case, the redirect from the "Janmashtami" page will ensure proper referencing from other pages -Anon
- You have a point, I've undone your copy-paste edits and redirected to Krishna Janmaashtami to maintain the history. User:Nichalp/sg 05:32, August 26, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Sree Jayanti
Ambarish, I would like to know in which part of India it is called Sree Jayanti. I know that in Kerala, it is called Sreekrishna Jayanti or Ashtami rohini. From what I could find out in Chennai, it is called Sreekrishna Jayanti or plain Krishna Jayanti. Tintin 07:30, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Google is not a very reliable source for this, but still Sree Jayanti gets hits in 19 sites in google, one is irrelevant and the other 18 are copies of the Wiki article.
sree krishna jayanti gets 13 hits including this and this. Sri Krishna Jayanti has 628 [hits and sri krishna jayanthi has 1328.
Am changing Sree Jayanthi. Tintin 08:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed Google is unreliable. In fact, the GFDL is a bloody pain - whenever I do some Google-research for an India-related topic on Wikipedia, I get back 100+ copies of the original article :-)
- Anyway, followers of Ramanuja's Sree Vaishnava sampradayam (known in Tamil as Iyengars) refer to this festival as "Sree Jayanti". Below are some links. I've re-added "Sree Jayanti" to the articles. Thanks for the clarification regarding "Sree Krishna Jayanti".
