The new year for all Hindus start from March 23rd 2012. This year it is Nanadana Nama Samvatsara (ನಂದನ ನಾಮ ಸಂವತ್ಸರ ).
Panchangas for Uttaradi Math is available online at the following links in Kannada and Sanskrit. I have downloaded the Kannada one already.
Below are the links for Kannada and Sanskrit.
P.S: Thanks a million to the webmaster at Uttaradi Math for these downloads. It greatly helps each and every one in following our customs and traditions.
In most Madhwa houses, the leaves of neem also called Bevu ಬೇವು is mixed with jaggery called Bella ಬೆಲ್ಲ; and is distributed on the occasion. Neem, which is extremely bitter in taste( Kahi) , and jaggery which is sweet and delicious, signify the two different aspects of human life – joy and sorrow.
Here are some recipes posted in this blog to prepare during the festival:
- Authentic Madhwa Dishes. This has recipes for Cucumber Kosambari, Beans Palya, Potato Palya, Lemon Rice, Ambode, Majjige Huli, Nucchina Unde, Gojju, Badam puri, Akki Kadalebele Payasa, Hayagreeva etc.
P.S: As always no food is prepared with onion or garlic.
You can find some amazingly good greetings in Kannada, at the following link
And here is the lyrics for the famous song by Shri Bendre, which we used to hear on major radio channels, Yuga Yugadi Kaledaru:
yuga yugAdi kaLedarU yugAdi maraLi barutide
hosa varushake hosa harushava hosatu hosatu tarutide
honge hUva tongalalli bhrungada sangIta kEli matte kELabarutide
bEvina kahi bALinalli hUvina nasugampu sUsi jIvakaLeya tarutide
varushakondu hosatu janma harushakondu hosatu neleyu akhila jIvajAtake
onde ondu janmadali onde bAlya onde haraya namagadashTE EtakO
niddegomme nitya maraNa edda sala navIna janana namage Eke
bAradOelE sanatkumAradEva elE sAhasi chiranjIva ninage lIle sEradO
yuga yugAdi kaLedarU yugAdi maraLi barutide
hosa varushake hosa harushava hosatu hosatu tarutide nammanashTe maretide

Meeera avare,
Better late than never:
देवकी कंद मुकुंद मुकुंद
निगमोधारा नवनीत चोरा खगपती वाहन जगतोधारा
शंख चक्रधरा श्री गोविंदा पंकज लोचना परमानंदा
मकर कुंडलधर मोहना वेषा रुकुमिनी वल्लभ पांडवा पोषा
कंस मर्दना कौस्तुभभरणा हंस वाहना पूजित चरणा
वर वेलापुर चन्ना प्रसन्ना पुरंदर विठ्ठला सकल गुण पूर्णा

Nandana samvatsara Yugaadi Shubhaashaya.
Do not mind. It is not neem leaves. It must be neem flowers.
May SriKrsna grant greater joys and delights and contentment.
