12. Legacy and the Lalaji Era

Swami Vivekananda ji said, " Man is man so long as he is struggling to rise above nature, and the nature is both internal and external. It is good and very grand to conquer external nature, but grander still it is to conquer internal nature. It is good and grand to know the laws that govern stars and planets, but it is infinitely grander and better to know the laws that govern the passions, the feelings and the will of mankind.“

Calender Months of the Lalaji Era With the ushering of the Advent in 1873 the New Era started. Since we owe everything to Pujya Lalaji Maharaj, it is but prudent to call it Lalaji Era. (L.E) ISRC, Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness made bold to count the years in dfdfdee the new Era. Here the names of the months are decided according to the logic of the system of our Beloved Babuji Maharaj. 14th January or 13th January usually happen to be the date on which Sun enters the constellation of Capricorn. Therefore 14th January is taken as the 1st of the new year of the Lalaji Era. Since we owe everything to Pujya Lalaji Maharaj, it is but prudent to start the year with his name. More so because it is during this month he descended on earth. The days of the months are evenly distributed, first as thirty days and later to adjunct the number of days to 365, an additional day has been added to the months of Samavarti, Prabhu, Ishwar, Varada, and Krishna.
