In this episode, we talk about celebrating Indic birthdays so that children feel the joy and excitement of personalised connection with Hindu history and culture. We converse with the founder of Janmatithi.com (also indicbirthday.com) to explore the differences between the Gregorian calendar and the Indic calendar. We also touch on the ways in which celebrating birthdays according to the Indic calendar will help us connect to Hindu dharma.
Thankyou for the informative podcast ! Keep this spirit going to educate and share knowledge to young parents and the future generations while bridging the knowledge gap to past generations who have lost touch! My one thought would be to use or refer the word panchangam as well for indic or indian calender !
Indeed, it is an enlightening episode. Every content was an eye-opener. Thank you, girls. Looking forward to many more enlightening and learning journeys of everything relayed to our janma boomi Bharatha, and to transform ourselves along with our younger generation.
Very enlightening episode. The secular calender explanation and the existence of both Shiv Shakti powers on the birth tithis was something which I liked so much along with the stories and beautiful information which you shared! Dhanyawad Rekha ji, Shalini ji and Suraj ji. Looking fwd to having tithis included in our lives more often.
This is very insightful! Now, I got in depth knowledge on why it is important to celebrate Tithi based birthdays. Previously, I knew we should celebrate tithi based birthdays but didn't knowledge to support my though process. Now, I have got the reasoning as well. Thank you very much!
Just one question: these star birthdays generally celebrated in southern part of India are same as Tithi based birthdays?
Thanks for your encouraging comment Ramyaji and happy to know we could provide you with supporting knowledge.
Star birthdays generally refer to Janma Nakshatra. At our website indicbirthday.in (or janmatithi.in) along with Janmatithi (tithi birthday) we also provide the details of the janmaNakshatra (star birthday) on which you were born as well as when your janmaNakshatra will occur this year (you may have to look into the detailed timings output given for this).
There are 27 Nakshatras and 30 tithis in an indic month, so usually JanmaNakshatra falls in the vicinity of the JanmaTithi (1-2days before or later).
Both JanmaNakshatra and JanmaTithi can be celebrated based on local traditions (not necessarily north and south based division).
Very informative and makes me proud as a Hindu to know about rich heritage. Thanks Suraj for this excellent initiative...

Great feedback! Going forward, we will use the word Panchangam more often.

Very informative and motivating. As the host said, it’s a revolutionary idea to celebrate birth tithis.
So glad you found it motivating!
Just wanted to thank you both for a really fantastic podcast. Great initiative and very helpful. Keep up the wonderful work!
