Vishu wishes from IISH

In the vedic calander, vishu is the new year day which  falls on the mesha sankranti day normally 14th  April and sometimes  on 15th. Vishu word is the short form of vishuvath.  The starting point of the  counting of the  revolution of earth around the sun   is this mesha sankranti  (Alpha Aeries point)  the  point of changing the sign of Sun from Meena to Mesha. This is indirectly told as the crossing of the sankranti line  by the Sun because it is so when we view from the Earth. During Aryabhatta’s period ,  AD 499 March 21st at 1.00 Noon was the  Mesha sankranthi vishuvath, which slowly drifted every year  (ayanaachalanam) and  this drifting for the last 1500 years  resulted in the change of the Mesha sankranti from  March 31st to April 14th /15th . New year day of Kali era  is considered as this day. So we can say the new Kali year  5012  starts  from April 15th vishuvath day according to the vedic calander. The Virodhi Nama samvatsaram will be over by April 14th and Vikruthi naama samvatsaram will start from Vishu onwards. Few experts also say that  this change should be counted from March 21st.  How ever astronomically the new year day is on April Vishuvath which we haved used for spiritual, traditional  and social  customs and rituals as  in the other Indian  traditions.

IISH WISHES A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR DAY AND  VISHU FOR ONE AND ALL.  AND ALSO GREAT COURAGE TO FACE  ALL THE NEGATIVES IN THE LIFE.
