Guest guest Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 || Om Gurave Namah || Dear Viswanadham, The Vimshottari Dasa needs to just repeat the cycle based on the Yuga. The period of 120 Years derived for Vimshottari is based on 120 degrees present between one Gandanta (say for e.g.. Aries to Leo junction) to another and the fact that One Year of Humans equals 1 day of Devas. This equation between One day of Devas to One Year of Humans does not change with yuga. Warm Regards, S.

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2003 Report Share Posted July 24, 2003 Dear Sanjay Rath, Jaya Guru! > Does this not sound more logical? Only thing required is a reference >from the Purana...maybe it is there. Yes, it certainly sounds logical. I only depend upon the teachings of Srila Prabhupada, who mentioned it like this. I'll look further if I can find some scriptural reference for this. An excerpt from a lecture by Srila Prabhupada I have reproduced below. The point being that a full divya-yuga is 10 times the duration of 1 Kali-yuga, maybe this is the factor decreasing the life duration in the successive yugas. >Perhaps this is applicable only for manushya Jataka and not Dhruva >maharaj or Sri Prahalada or such souls which by themselves are >spiritually so evolved to qualify for "Amitayus Jataka"...maybe. Certainly such pure devotees do not abide by the common natural laws. > You think ADAM can mean Adi-Manu? I have a book by Stephen Knapp with references of Vedic culture all over the world. In his book, he describes that ADAM was a Jewish name which was originally Adda or Adammu, a Babylonian name for the Aryan King Iksvaku, or the first created man on Earth (also according to Bhagavad-gita Ch4.1). The Jewish believe he appeared about 3761 BC. The other biblical names like Enoch, Noach etc were also names given by the Babylonian culture for great kings in India. Interesting is also that the name Jerusalem, the Holy city, is coming from Yedu-ishalayam, or Yadu-isha-alayam, the abode of the lord of the Yadus, in other words Krsna. So whether all these kings lived millions of years ago, and are still remembered vividly even in other cultures, I don't know. Krsna doesn't mention any of these numbers literally in Bhagavad-gita, or am I mistaken? Perhaps they were also other kings with the same name? I couldn't open the charts of end of kali-yuga which you attached. Probably they're out of range of my jhl 5 ephemeris. Srimad-Bhagavatam mentions at that time Sun,Moon and Jupiter enter simultaneously into Pushya nakshatra. Yours sincerely, Dhira Krsna dasa Quote from Srila Prabhupada: "So daya. Daya means you should show your mercifulness those who are weak. So this will reduce, Daya. And ayuh, duration of life. Duration of life. In the Satya-yuga the duration of life was 100,000's years. A man used to live for 100,000's of years. Then in the Treta-yuga it reduced ten times. They used to live for 10,000 years. Then in Dvapara-yuga it reduced again ten times. They used to live for 1,000 years. And now, in the Kali-yuga, the duration of life is prescribed as 100 years. But you see that it is reducing. Everyone may note it. Perhaps your grandfather lived for 100 years. Your father lived for 80 years. And nowadays, 60 or 70 years. Gradually, it will so reduce, we shall come to that statement, that if a man lives for 20 to 30 years he will be considered a very grand old man. If he lives for 20 to 30 years he'll be considered, "Oh, you have got very good life." That will come, gradually. This is the progressive age. Progressive age for material civilization." © 1991 by Bhaktivedanta Book Trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is > there some reference to it in the literature or has it been deduced based on > the narrative, HIs actions and personality etc. ? > Love, Gili The chart is not given in any literature. However, Sage Valmiki, author of Ramayana, mentioned the following: (1) Rama was born on Chaitra Sukla Navami tithi (2) Rama was born in Punarvasu constellation (3) Cancer rose with Moon and Jupiter in it (4) There were five planets in exaltation Strictly speaking, THAT IS ALL WE KNOW. Presumably somebody deduced the chart. Probably his/her thought process was as follows: (1) Because Moon is in Cancer, he is not exalted. (2) Out of Mercury and Venus, only one can be exalted. (3) So the five exalted planets must be Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Sun and one out of Mercury and Venus. [Note: NOT a perfect deduction. What about nodes? Aren't they planets?] (4) Because Sun and Mercury cannot be exalted together (the longitude difference between them cannot be 150 deg, which is the minimum required for them to be exalted together). (5) So the five exalted planets must be: Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Venus and Sun. (6) Then, based on the characteristics and guesses, Mercury and nodes must've been fixed. As noted earlier, this chart has a problem because Moon cannot be in Punarvasu and Sun in Aries on Sukla Navami (do math). One has to either suggest that Moon is not in Punarvasu as Valmiki wrote (Pt Sanajay Rath suggests that Valmiki meant lagna nakshatra and not Chandra nakshatra) or that Punarvasu nakshatra moved (in the sidereal zodiac!) in time. Neither suggestion is really acceptable. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Respected Narasimhaji With your permissions... The copy of Ramayana(Valmiki) that I have mentions 2 shlokas(8th and 9th) in the 18th sarga of BAlaKanda about birth of Ram. In fact these are the only two shlokas about birth of Ram in the Balakanda. The first shloka is interesting as it says that it was in the 12th month chaitra navami tithi. Now why this Chaitra NAvami in the 12th month? In the present time Hindu calender starts with Chaitra and ends with Phalgun. So Chaitra is 1st month. Does that mean at that time it was different? tato yaj~ne samaaapte tu R^ituunaamaM shhaT samatyayuH| tatashca dwaadashe maase chaitre naavamike tithau ||8|| Please forgive if you find my query very rudimentary and irrelevant to the present thread.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 Namaste Amol ji, The verse says that six ritus passed after the yajna and Rama was born on Chaitra Sukla Navami tithi, in the 12th month since the end of the yajna they performed. You can only conclude that the yajna was done in the previous Vaisakha month. Whether Chaitra month is the first or the last in the Calendar followed at that time is not clear from the verse.

The marking of yugaadi depends on whatever reference star. Nowadays, it is Ashwini (thats why we got chaitraadi maasa-s.) Each this yugaadi leads to two events viz Chaandra yugaadi and Saura yugaadi.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Sanjay Prabhakaran, Many thanks for your reply and clarification on computation of Vimshottari dasa periods. Can i take from your mail that the first 120 years remained unchanged, even when people live for longer than this (say for 250 years or 500 years or 1000 years). If that is so, while computing Moola dasa of say Saturn, do we still take the Das period as 19 years (or the multiples of it)? Can you please comment on this. Also, when we take from 1 gandanta to another as the maximum longevity in Kali yuga, does it mean we can not traverse the Gandanta in Kaliyuga? Your reply would be much appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Respected Narasimhaji You are right. But in the 12th sarga it says that raja Dasharath thought of performing the yajna in the Vasant ritu. tataH kale bahuthithe kismichit sumanohare| vasante samanuprapte ranno yashtum manobhavat||12.1|| Even in the 13th sarga it says that after one year when again Vasant ritu came at that time raja Dasharath consulted Vassishta for performing yajna. punaH prapte vasante tu purnaH samvatsarobhavat| Prasavatharta gato yashtum hayamedhena viryavan||13.1|| After that Vasihta rishi performed the yajna with the help of rishysshrunga rishi. So it seems that yajna started some where in the vasant ritu. According to todays calender Vasant ritu is in pausha or magha just few months before chaitra. Moreover, Six month after vasant ritu should be Varsha ritu and varsha ritu should have month Aashada or Sharvana. It means that even if we take 12 months from the Yajna starting still we do not get Chaitra according to todays calender and if we take into consideration 6 ritus after yajna we end up in Varsha ritu and again it is not in Chaitra according to todays calender. So can we deduce that it is very difficult to understand time,month and year according to todays calender. Thanks a lot for your Time and Space.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Dear Vishwanatham et al, Hare Rama Krsna! >Can i take from your mail that the first 120 years remained >unchanged, even when people live for longer than this (say for 250 >years or 500 years or 1000 years). Yes, from the stories in Bible we see the people with such long lives were already married and begetting children at the age of 20-30, so dasha periods should definitely not be multiplied. There will rather be multiples of cycles repeating themselves umpteen times till the end of life. To accept that their dasha periods were longer is not correct. Even in the life of Sri Rama we see He was already being married at the age of 15-16. As for Gandanta crossing, I believe one has to be an elevated soul to be able to do so.
