Guest guest Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 Dr.Ramaraju BalaKrishna Murthy ( athreya-balakrishna),Rochester,MN,USA < dr.balakrishnamurthy.ramaraju > Significance of Number Sixty , 60 - Shat Sathi = Shashtyabda. Shat Sathi is the age one celebrates an important landmark in one's life - Shashtti Abda Poorthi ( erroneously referred to as Shashtti Poorthi ) 60 years is half of 120 years , the expected life expectancy of humans in Kali Yugam. If Life can be compared to a Cricket Test Match 60 years marks scoring a half century by the person batting. Sixty is also the number of Named Years in Sanaathana Almanac from Prabhava through Akshaya. So a person born in Prabhava nama Samvatsaram completes 60 years of age when Prabhava Samvatsaram Comes around again , It is a Grand Birthday Party of great Religious significance - Ugra Rattha Saanthi. There is another way of looking at it. There are 12 Sooryas(Suns) - Dwaadasa Aadithyas . Each of these 12 Suns is qualified with Five types of Years - Samvatsaram , Vatsaram , Anuvatsaram , Idaavatsaram and Parivatsaram - 5 times 12 is 60 - so a person of 60 years age has seen all the 5 times 12 types of years. Next land mark is Sapthathi or Saptha Sathi - 70 years age. Bheema Ratha Santhi. The next one aagain is very important - 83 years plus - Sahasra Chandra Darshan , meaning a person of 83 years has seen 1000 full moons. So Be It = OM THATH SATH. athreya - balakrishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
