Guest guest Posted April 23, 2006 Report Share Posted April 23, 2006 Hi, You have to draw a line North-South through the stars on the extremity of Ursa Major, the great bear or Saptarishi constellation, that is the 2 stars which are at the end of the square formed in there, and project that line onto the zodiac. How exactly it works I don't really know, but apparently that line should be moving along the zodiac with the pace of 100 years per nakshatra.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi Dhira Thanks for the reply. I had understood as much. The reason for my question is which is the star that is presently in Saptharshi now? I'm trying to put the date on the Mahabhartha War as per the Puranas. According to the Vishnu and Bhagavatha Puranas the star Magha was in saptharshi when Parikshit (son of Abhimanyu) was ruling and that 1500 years elapsed between him and the Nandas before Kautilya overthrew the Nandas. The general agreement is that Chandragupta Maurya was in 325 BCE and the Nandas were ruling for about 100 years before him.This means the star presently in Saptarshi should be 24 nakshatras away frm Magha. Does this date tally with the present star in saptharshi?
