FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Movement for the Restoration of Vedic Wisdom is pleased to make the following announcement. On December 22nd, 2006 many Hindu temples in Tamil Nadu broke with generations of tradition to celebrate the Makar Sankranti - shortest day of the year on the exact moment that the Sun crossed the cusp into the sign Capricorn and began its northward journey through the upper hemisphere or Uttarayana. As of 2008 the following Temples have incorporated the Tropical Sayana system and have re-poised their ritual worship on those eternal foundations of solstice and equinox. This is a modest beginning to be sure but it represents a decisive turn in the Hindu psyche towards a reconnection with its collective soul. This is the way of Renaissance, the Vedic Dharmic Way.
