Sri Vikhanasa Maharishi Jayanthi
& Yajurveda Upakarma Monday, August 7th, 2017
 Upakarma is conducted once a year during the shravana or Dhanista nakshatra of Shravan month, when Brahmins ritually change their upanayana thread accompanied by relevant Srauta rituals, making Sraddha offerings to the rishis, who composed the Vedic hymns. Vikhanasa Maharishi, a human form aroused from Sri Maha Vishnu’s mind, arrived at Naimisaaranyam on poornami day of Sravana maasam at Sravanaa nakshatram. Hence every year this day is observed as his birthday, called Vikhanasa Jayanthi. Sage Vikhanasa, got instructions from Sri Maha Vishnu, preached Vaikhanasa Bhagavath Shastras to his deciples Bhrugu, Mareechi, Atri and Kasyapa. His disciples in turn have given a physical form to these divine Shastras as number of text books containing 4 lakhs slokas, which are together referred as Sri Vaikhaanasa Aagama. SCHEDULE
