	Bible Prophecy Calendar: 360 day/year
		All calendars insert leap-days or leap-months to nudge the 'normal' year closer to the exact 365.2422 year, otherwise before long the months on the calendar would be out of synchronization with the seasons of the year.
		In the modern Hebrew calendar, a 'normal' year has 354 days, but upon every 2 or 3 years a leap month is added with 384 days in that year.
		However, the 360 Prophetic Calendar soon shows itself wonderfully supreme in every way, as it spans and divides time into biblical generations of 40 and 100 years, and biblical ages of 4,000 and 100,000 years; with the biblical principle of a 7th-day rest woven throughout.

		For untold ages, the Hindus have observed the motion of the moon, the sun and the seven planets along a definite path that circles our sky and is marked by fixed clusters of stars.

	Hindu Holidays
		As such they are as close to the official dates as is possible, bearing in mind that the authoritative source on the Indian calendar, the Indian Astronomical Ephemeris, is usually published late in the year preceding the year under consideration.
		This is justified by the fact that the Hindu Lunar day begins at sunrise, and that for a lunar day to be expunged it must occur less than an hour before sunrise, hence the expunged day's start is already in the next day of the Western calendar whose days begin at midnight.
		Expecting a unified and consistent approach to holidays in the Hindu world is akin to expecting all of Europe to have a single set of holidays, without any regional variations within the various countries in Europe.

	Welcome to GSB Konkani
		In the case of Lunar calendar, which follows the course of the moon, the Lunar day or the ‘tithi’ is from one moon-rise to the next one.
		These twelve months make a year or Samvatsara and, the Indian Calendar believes in a cycle of 60 years and therefore each of these 60 years will have a name, the first year of the cycle is Prabhava and the last one is Kshaya.
		The Lunar Calendar does not want to go alone and wants to catch up with the movement of the sun and stars and so to coquilles after every three years adds a month called Adhik Mas or an additional month which can be called a leap month.
