Still I see emails (recent from Santhanam) in SriRangaSri about the dates.

SrImathE Gopaladesikay Mahadesikaya namah:
Dearest Sri Anbil mama and Sri Muralidhar, adiyEn checked with my father after reading Sri Anbil mama's email. My father (who has been reciting Veda ParayaNam daily at Ashramam)confirmed that asmadhAchAryan had indicated only August 4th as yajur upAkarama and Gayatri japam.Being most compassionate, It appears Swamy (as matter of concession to few who have mentioned difficulty performing both on the same day) has found (unearthed) pramANams from Gautama Dharma sUthrAs to accommodate Sunday obeservance of Gayatri also. He informed (or has given an amendment) day before.What a compassionate Acharyan! So strict in his adherance and so flexible and accommodative towards us.
For your info, all Acharyas (Navalpakkam, Kanchipuram, as well as mutts, Periyasramam) have declared only Aug 4th as the Upakarmam and Gayatri.This is for your information. Regards Narayana Narayana aDiyEn dAsan
