In May of 2006, the Movement for the Restoration of Vedic Wisdom [MRVW] was launched at Aeon Centre of Cosmology via the publication of a Manifesto entitled ‘The Zero, the Veda, and the Divine Measure of the Year’. The MRVW committee was headed by ACC director Patrizia Norelli-Bachelet (Thea) and members included Rajah Rajagopal Tondaiman, Rani Sarubala R Tondaiman (Mayor of Tiruchi City Corporation), Thiru Sai Srinivasan, Dr. Patricia R. Heidt and Robert E. Wilkinson.
As a result of the work of the MRVW committee, 60 temples in Tamil Nadu celebrated Makar Sankranti in conjunction with the Winter Solstice rather than some 23-24 days late as per the miscalculations of nirayana astrologers.
