Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 Dear Dhira Krsna dasa RAM KRISHN HARE Traditionally Panchang makers all over india use same basis for Kaliyug. Such strong tradition can not be wrong. Your date itself is in Navami so it must be wrong.Ayanansh do not have any effect on Tithi.This confirms that you need to go back from the said date. I do not consider Devlokansh condition important unless its defination is free from doubts. I have read that Duryodhan was avatar of Kaliyug. So Kaliyug started sometime after the death of Duryodhan.If we know the duration of Yudhishthir's rule after war,we can fix time for mahabharat war.This period will also provide the bounds for Kaliyug start.Yudhishthir started his own counting of years from Kaliyug-start.This is why we can link it with Srikrishn to narrow our search. The birth of Maharaja Pariksit occured shortly after the war(his mother was pragnant at the time of war).But at present,I do not have much idea about pandavas chart. Yesterday I heard(TV program) that SriKrishn lived for 36 years after Mahabharat War. Some more comments: Abhijeet is also a Muhurt-name(see 15 dwi-ghati muhurtas). At mid-day and mid-night,Abhijeet yog prevails.this is not Ravi- Chandr yog. Krsna Ashtami of Sravana month in JHL definately indicates Srikrishna's birth tithi. but your date is wrong.Yugas are basic to hindu panchang. and can not be corrupted/changed to suite such logics. signs owned by the kendr lords from AL may not be only alternative. why not Grah-arudh(swa=self) or A-2 (swa=2nd house) in place of AL? The verse can have even more meanings. Thanks ANILKUMAR OM TAT SAT ----------------------------- You Wrote: Don't dismiss the date given by Narasimha Rao on the basis of bias regarding the start of Kali-yuga. After all, we do not know for sure when Kali-yuga started and this date may help us understand it better. While I was doing my own research on the start of Kali-yuga recently, I calculated using Deva-datta ayanamsa and found the date of around 2500 BC to be correct. Now that Narasimha found this date so close to it, I am inclined to accept it as accurate. I only found the date of July 7th 2496 BC, at the exact start of Ashtami tithi at 0:13 to be correct. On that same day, the Moon is rising exactly at midnight at 23:57, but then is already in Mrgasira nakshatra and in Navami tithi. It would be just after midnight on the 7th July, ascendant should be Gemini instead of Taurus to put Jupiter and Venus in trines, which is the Jayanti yoga explained in the scriptures, giving undying fame and glory. Exalted Moon in the 12th, aspected by 12th lord and exalted Saturn should explain the separation from mother, who was in the prison during His time in Vrndavan. Do we know the reference of Yudhisthira's birth according to the date of Krsna, I mean the number of years of difference in age and his birthdate? Is it mentioned somewhere in sastra? It would be interesting to find out his chart, in order to be sure. Are there any references for the charts of the other Pandavas and of the birth of Maharaja Pariksit?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2002 Report Share Posted December 17, 2002 Dear Anilkumar, Hare Rama Krsna. Yes, you are right concerning my date. Just a few days ago I happened to read this. Please let me know what you think? While many scholars have given their varied opinions, here is a quote from the "Sri Krsna-samhita", a book written by our acarya Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur. from Introduction pp. 27-29: "Now we must determine when the Battle of Kuruksetra took place. Maharaja Pariksit was born just after the battle. From the birth of Pariksit up to the coronation of Nandivardhana (the fifth of the Pradyotana kings) was 1,115 years (Bhag. 12.2.26). Conningham Sahib and others say that the word nandabhiseka in this previous footnote verse from the Srimad-Bhagavatam refers to the first of the nine Nandas. But although the respected Sridhara Swami also accepts this, he says the number is irrelevant. Therefore we fearlessly accept this Nanda as Nandivardhana. Moreover, in the Ninth Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is stated that 20 kings from the dynasty of Brhadratha, beginning from Marjari up to Ripunjaya, would rule for 1,000 years. The names of those 20 kings are also given in the Twelfth Canto of the Srimad-Bhagavatam. Then, after five Pradyotana kings rule for 138 years and ten Sisunaga kings rule for 360 years, the nine Nandas will rule for 100 years. So if we refer to the first of the nine Nandas, it will be about 1,500 years; but if we deduct the 23 years of Nandivardhana's rule, then we have the correct figure of 1,115 years. Again, in the Srimad-Bhagavatam it is stated that during the reign of King Pariksit the constellation of the seven rsis took shelter in the naksatra called Magha. When this constellation of the seven rsis crosses the naksatras beginning with Magha through Jyaistha, then the age of Kali will be 1,200 years old. ...... After his rule, during the reign of the other Nandas, Kali became extemely prominent. This is also confirmed by practical observation. After the fifth generation, Ajatasatru became the king. During his reign, Sakyasimha preached Buddhism, in the form of knowledge of self-realization devoid of a conception of the Infallible (God). The Nandas were like cowherd men and were envious of eternal religious principles. Asokavardhana even widely propagated Buddhism. Gradually various castes like Sundhas ruled the kingdom and created many obstacles in the path of religion. The total duration to the end of the nine Nandas' rule was 1,598 years. Canakya Pandita killed the last of the Nandas and gave the kingdom to the kings of the Maurya dynasty. According to some opinions, King Dasaratha, and according to others, Candragupta was the first king of the Maurya dynasty. During the time of Candragupta, people from Greece visited India first with Alexander and later with Seleucus. According to the opinions of Greek literature, the great dynasties from Simhala, and the Buddhist history of Brahma-desa, Candragupta took the throne 215 years before Christ. From this calculation it may be understood that the Battle of Kuruksetra took place 3,791 years ago from today. Dr. Bentley Sahib calculated the position of the stars mentioned in the Mahabharata and decided that the battle of Kuruksetra took place 1,824 years before Christ. When we compare his calculation with mine there is a difference of 89 years. So either Bentley Sahib made a mistake or the 1,000 years duration of the Barhadratha's rule was an approximation that we have to deduct 89 years from. The future swanlike scholars can determine the correct figures after further research." Here today is meant with the year 1879 of our present calendar, since Bhaktivinode Thakur refers to this date elsewhere in his book, and he wrote his book in 1888.
