The vow

The Monday vow is kept in Śrāvaṇa as the rule directs: a fast for those able, otherwise one meal at night. DS p. 44

The Vratarāja has several Monday vows: a fourteen-year vow with worship at pradoṣa, a single-meal vow and an eight-Monday vow with a fast. VR ff. 347⁠–⁠354

Questions

From the Dharmasindhu and the Vratarāja, with the page for each.

When does Sawan 2028 start?

In Delhi, by the north Indian (pūrṇimānta) count, Śrāvaṇa 2028 begins on Friday, 7 July and ends on Saturday, 5 August. By the amānta count it begins a fortnight later, on Sunday, 23 July, and ends on Sunday, 20 August.

How many Sawan Mondays are there in 2028?

In Delhi, four by the north Indian count (10, 17, 24 and 31 July) and four by the amānta count (24 and 31 July; 7 and 14 August). Two are in both: 24 and 31 July. DS p. 44

Why do some calendars list different Mondays?

They count the lunar month two ways. The pūrṇimānta count of north India ends each month at the full moon, so its Śrāvaṇa begins the day after the Āṣāḍha Pūrṇimā. The amānta count ends each month at the new moon, so its Śrāvaṇa begins a fortnight later. The texts do not say which count the vow follows. The two months overlap only in the bright fortnight, so only those Mondays are in both lists. DS p. 44
