How to use this calendar
A lunar rhythm for our Saṅgha
This calendar shows what Yam is tending each day and when the Saṅgha can expect new work, gatherings, sessions, or quieter periods. Each Gregorian date receives the tithi present at sunrise where Yam lives. A tithi is a lunar day based on the changing relationship between the Moon and Sun rather than a fixed twenty-four-hour period.
