Vaishnava calendar Gaurabda is the name of the moon calendar used by Gaudiya Vaishnavism as part of the liturgy. 〔 〕 It is used as the main calendar of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness.〔 〕 Following Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition, the years are counted from the birth (traditionally known as the "appearance" day) of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Caitanya, widely recognized as the incarnation of Krishna, is also known as Gaura, so the year is called "Gaurabda," or "the year of Lord Caitanya." ==Reasons to follow a lunar calendar== Most scholars who have analyzed the two traditional Indian calendar systems, both lunar and solar, have concluded that the lunar system is the more ancient. The lunar phases are known to influence agriculture, and according to scriptures like Manu-samhita (The Law of Manu) they also influence more subtle aspects of human life. In the Vaisnava calendar the times for various celebrations are determined by the lunar tithi, sometimes with ''naksatra'' and other elements of the calendar taken into account. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gaurabda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
