New Vaisnava Calendar Calculation Software
http://www.dandavats.com/?p=5984
by Bhaktarupa Das
The GBC (http://www.dandavats.com/?cat=47)
Vaisnava Calendar Committee announces the first public beta release of
its new calendar calculation software, “GCal” (Gaurabda Calendar). This
is completely new software, developed from the ground up by Gopalapriya
Das of ISKCON Bratislava, Slovakia, and is a full-featured calendar calculation
program for Gaudiya Vaisnavas. Choose from the database of thousands of
locations, or add new ones. Calculate tithis and naksatras, and add custom
events that you are interested in observing. Find out sunrise and sunset
timings, and lots more.
This is a beta test release. We invite the devotee community to download
the software, give it a test run, and send in their feedback. It is available
for free download from http://www.KrishnaDays.com
after registration.
Also at KrishnaDays we have published some substantial program documentation
for GCal and established a forum for discussion of calendar related topics.
Coming soon at this site will be a revolutionary new type of online personalized
calendar and reminder system featuring not only the standard observances
but also all the days that are important to you, such as your guru’s vyasa
puja day, family birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
