<b>5)</b> follows the rules given by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura in His "Shri Navadwipa Panjika" to cultivate Sri Harinam Kirtan worldwide. "Sri Navadvip Panjika" was designed according to Vaisnava Smriti - "Śrī Hari-bhakti-vilāsa" (by Sanātana Gosvāmī").

<b>6)</b> supports only Vaishnava (or Bhagavata) Ekadashi which are Shuddha (or pure): an observance is based on the rule that Dasami or the tenth day during a lunar fortnight should have ended before Arunodaya (96 minutes period before sunrise on the Ekadasi or the 11th day in a lunar fortnight). Note that Smartha Ekadashis are not supported (but available in any Hindi calendar).

<b>7)</b> full support for ISKCON:

Both algorithms of calculating the start of the fasting have been implemented:

-- a) using Mayapur city (near Navadvipa, West Bengal, India)

-- b) using the 'Current location'

Notes for ISKCON:

-- a) used by AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada. This algorithm was widely used until 1990

-- b) alternative algorithm proposed in 1990

<b>8)</b> "Set Date" is a part of time machine which can be used to travel to an arbitrary point in time (currently years 1961-2061 are supported) and get information for that moment.

Note: the application doesn't save a time or info between sessions. Every time the app is launched it takes current time from system clock and makes calculations again.</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br>
