Thamizh Varuda Pirappu-Start of Tamil New Year-New Year Sankalpam

In about few days time, a New Tamil Year, as per the movement of the SUN (Suryamana) is going to begin. Before independance, most of the population were using the Tamil system of months and year in their daily activities and even the alphabets were in Tamil system. If you can get copies of Panchangam (Almanac) printed in the year 1947 and before , you will find Tamil Alphabets. Even we studied in our schools the  Tamil system of writing Alphabets, weights and measurements.  After independance, those systems should have been strenthened.  Instead we have become more anglised than the Englishman.  We have completely discarded them except for some religious
activity. We should salute our Vedic Scholors and Religious Heads for keeping this tradition still alive . The Sankalpa we recite before performing every ceremony is the recitation of the complete calender of that day from of the CREATION OF THE MOTHER EARTH.  It clearly says exactly the year, month , the day and the time at which we are going to perform that particular act since the creation of the earth.  The details are available in the earlier posts on this site.  I had also requested the viewers to consider the notation for the Tamil System of Calender. As this site is not popular, no response from them. 

As a humble man, I have decided, as a first step, to use a method similar to the Gregorian calander i,e., 1-1-Kaliyuga Year, in my day-to-day activities wherever the date is to be mentioned.
