About the ISKCON Calendar
The ISKCON (Gaurabda) Calendar follows the Vaishnava lunar calendar used by ISKCON and the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition — twelve Vaishnava months (Vishnu, Madhusudana, Trivikrama, Vamana, Shridhara, Hrishikesha, Padmanabha, Damodara, Keshava, Narayana, Madhava, Govinda) named for the Sun's zodiac sign at the New Moon that begins each month, with the Gaurabda year counted from Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's appearance. It lists Appearance and Disappearance days of the Lord, His incarnations and associates, the Vaishnava Acharyas, and the fortnightly Ekadashi fasting days.
