[Facts] Oops
That last sentence was really badly phrased: `I meant moving across the astronomical signs by about a days worth every 72 years'. The Gregorian calendar is a tropical calendar which fixes the dates of the solistices, and lets the astrological signs drift. Another truly solar calendar, the bengali secular calendar, is a siderial calendar that fixes the astronomical signs and lets the seasons drift. see http://tanmoy.tripod.com/bengcal.html if interested in such issues.Originlly the last sentence was immediately after the mention of astrology, and as I edited the post, the sentence became completely garbled and misplaced, sorry.

aayon vayu can be found in geography book of West Bengal boardDear Tanmoy da,Your post was valuable to me.
Yes sometimes it happens, we always cannot be very perfect in framing sentences. It’s OK. I have found the term 'aayon vayu' in the geography book of west Bengal board. As I am also a pass out of KV BKP (ARMY), I am unable to tell you the exact class but should be (class VIII, IX, X).I believe every word, having vowel has a meaning.
If you can help me by the meaning/reference of 'Aayan' pronounced as aayon, would be of great help to me. (You have understood the spelling of aayan correctly in bengali.)Thanks for the time and labour for me.

I could not lay my hands on the required textbooks, but some friends of mine inform me that they think it is a modern translation of the English term seasonal winds.
