The Dharmayana app keeps track of all upcoming festivals on the Hindu calendar and reminds you in advance.

Inside the app you can:
- Generate your personal Vedic kundali
- Talk to a Jyotisha for guidance around career, relationships or health
- Run kundali matching before fixing a marriage during the festival season
All of this is available inside the Dharmayana app — no fixed schedule, use it whenever you need it.

When is Adi Shankara Jayanti in 2027?

What is Adi Shankara Jayanti?
Vaishakha Shukla Panchami marks the birth, in Kalady on the Purna river in Kerala, of the 8th-century monk who walked the length of India to revive Vedic learning. Adi Shankara died at just 32, yet left behind four cardinal mathas and the Advaita Vedanta school.
Why is Adi Shankara Jayanti observed?
Tradition tells of a boy bathing in the Purna river when a crocodile seized his leg. He shouted to his mother Aryamba — let me take sannyasa now, since my life is ending. She agreed, the crocodile released him, and Shankara left home as a wandering monk. He found his guru Govinda Bhagavatpada, a disciple of Gaudapada (author of the Mandukya-karika), and went on to write commentaries on the Prasthanatrayi — the Brahma Sutras, the principal Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita. His public debate with the Mimamsa scholar Mandana Mishra, judged by Mandana's own wife Ubhaya Bharati, is the most famous episode of his life. He anchored Hindu monasticism by founding four mathas at the compass points — Sringeri, Puri, Dvaraka and Jyotir Math at Badrinath — before dying at Kedarnath, aged thirty-two.
