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 2029 start?

In Delhi, by the north Indian (pūrṇimānta) count, Śrāvaṇa 2029 begins on Thursday, 26 July and ends on Friday, 24 August. By the amānta count it begins a fortnight later, on Saturday, 11 August, and ends on Saturday, 8 September.

How many Sawan Mondays are there in 2029?

In Delhi, four by the north Indian count (30 July; 6, 13 and 20 August) and four by the amānta count (13, 20 and 27 August; 3 September). Two are in both: 13 and 20 August. 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
