The current calendar, despite it's problems is followed for adjustment. Then you might want to read a little on calendars, reform, etc. Most certainly it will be changed since these well known points correspond to our seasons and our months. Yes, this whole idea is well known and accepted by astronomers and others. I'll have to look, but I believe the Surya Siddhanta provides for such calendrical reform. To adjust the calendar for precision would need require 20 minutes per year.  That would throw all sorts of things off for 13000 years. And why? Just sosun in VE will still be in an "adjusted" neo-March and not September. I don't buy it. It's not adjusted every year. I know. But even adjusting it one day every 72 years would seem to me to be troublesome. Just so sun in VE will still be in an "adjusted" neo-March and not September. I still don't buy it. but I am a picky consumer. :) It's really not about you or whether you're buying it. It is done and will continue to be done until we move to a perpetual calendar. Despite it's crude construction, the Gregorian calendar is fairly accurate: I think it would be interesting to use the pre-Gregorian method of simply dividing the sunlight hours by 12 to determine the length of hours--thus in winter hours would be shorter and in summer longer. If we continued to work roughly 8 hour days, when nature rested (in winter), humans too would work less and have more time for rest.
