Purshottam Mahino The calendar “date” that we are so familiar with in our daily life is based on the solar calendar. The English calendar is a solar calendar.  The basis for the solar calendar is the rotation of the earth around the Sun.    The lunar calendar, which is believed to have originated in India, has been around for a very long time, even long before the solar calendar. The lunar calendar is based on the moon’s rotation around the earth.  The lunar month corresponds to the one complete rotation of the moon around the earth.  Since this period of rotation of the moon around the earth varies, the duration of the lunar month also varies.   Complicated as this is, it is easy to remember that the Adhik Maas or Purushottam Mahino balances the lunar and solar calendars.   This month is considered very auspicious and is especially dear to Lord Krishna’s heart.   The Lord (Vishnu) agreed and assigned Adhik Maas to Himself and gave the name Purushottam Maas to this month. The Lord further stated: “Whosoever shall pray, fast, chant, sing, worship during the month of Purushottam, will be specially blessed, and get maximum recognition by me." Since then it is known as the Purushottama Maas and acquired greater significance than the other months. click Shri Krishna
