It would be interesting to know , that as per Indian *Panchang* system, each year has a specific name. And that each name has a meaning. There are *60* names of years Samvatsars or Jovian Years. Each name replays after 60 years. The year typically begins in *mid-April*. 1/5

The year 2019-20 was named *‘Vikari’*, that lived up to its name by being a *‘illness’ year!*
The year 2020-21 was named *‘Sharvari’,* meaning *darkness*, and it did push the world into a dark phase!
2/5

Now the *‘Plava’* year (2021-22) is beginning. ‘Plava’ means, *"that - which ferries us across".* The *Varaha Samhita* says: this will ferry the world across unbearable difficulties and reach us to a state of glory. And take us from *darkness to light!*
3/5

The year 2022-23 is named *‘Shubhkrut’,* meaning that which *creates auspiciousness.*
*We can now look forward and expect to have a better tomorrow*
*Sanatan Dharma* is thus far the most *scientific, practical and inclusive* of all systems in existence today. 4/5

Our *Rishis* and *Munis* could accurately predict when modern day gadgets and equipments were non existent.
*Proud to belong to the land of diversity and brotherhood*
