(full moon was on/around 26 July:may be not exact) What do you think of saying "about 26 July"? - Kevin Saff 21:31, 12 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

I'd rather be certain. I will ask some people on what day Pattabhi Jois celebrates his birthday, as this should settle the issue. Note that this can take some time. Wilke 03:01, 13 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
Surprisingly (at least for a westerner), Pattabhi Jois celebrates his birthday on the first full moon of July, on whatever day that happens to be. Wilke 22:45, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC)

To give a current western Gregorian calendrical date for the birth Sri K. Pattabhi Jois is incorrect since they use a lunar calendar in Karnataka. It's probably most accurate to say that Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was born on the full moon of the lunar month known as Ashadh (July-August) . This particular full moon is also a festival day known as Guru Purnima, during which spiritual teachers are honored.
