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

- 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is Narada Jayanti in 2027?
Narada Jayanti 2027 falls on Friday, 21 May 2027. Pratipada tithi runs from 04:29 PM, 20 May to 05:23 PM, 21 May IST, as calculated for Ujjain. Times shift by a few minutes for other cities.
What is Narada Jayanti?
Falls the day after Buddha Purnima, on Vaishakha Krishna Pratipada. Marks the birth of Narada — the sage who, in the Bhagavata Purana, prods a dejected Vyasa to write the Bhagavatam, and who later inspires Valmiki to compose the Ramayana. Modern Indian press bodies honour him as the first journalist.
Why is Narada Jayanti observed?
Narada's own back-story, told in Canto 1 of the Bhagavata Purana, is the heart of the day. He was once the son of a poor maidservant who cooked for wandering monks. Eating their leftover food and hearing their talk of Vishnu, the boy grew into the sage who roams the three worlds with his veena Mahati, chanting 'Narayana, Narayana'. The lesson — that bhakti is open to anyone, regardless of birth — is the thread running through his 84-aphorism Narada Bhakti Sutra, which defines bhakti as 'parama prema rupa' (the form of supreme love). His habit of carrying news between gods, demons and humans — usually stirring trouble that ends in someone's good — is why Indian journalism associations mark the day with awards for reporters.
Which prarthanas are recited on Narada Jayanti?
