[Jagannath] Srimad Bhagawatam 1. 4. 14

[Guest guest]

Dear Gauranga,

Jaya Jagannatha

You are absolutely right. However, we should understand that such predictions of 10,00 years are just hearsay as the correct predictions can ONLY be made by Sri Achyuta Dasa the direct disciple of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who was blessed to develop and re-establish this Vedanga-Jyotisha. I firmly believe that there is a definite relationship between the disappearance of Sri Krishna and Sri Chaitanya and this holds the Golden key to the ordering of the sub-cycles and their timing. I need to work on this.

2. As per the most authoratative source, the birth years of the five Great Disciples were:

(Pt. Suryanarayan Das Opines: -)

1. Sri Balaram Das 1473 AD

2. Sri Ananta Das 1475 AD

3. Sri Yasowant Das 1477 AD

4. Sri Jagannath Das 1477 AD

5. Sri Achyuta Das 1485 AD

There are other opinions on this and some say that the birth year of Sri Achyuta Das was 1512 AD (Artaballabha Mahanty) or 1490 AD (Pt. Vinayaka Mishra translation of the Garuda Gita). It is very important to determine the exact birth year of Sri Achyuta Das as this holds the key to the other birth years.

In a specific stanza Sri Achyuta says that " Tini Sata-ra Paksha Pura Jeba, Ananta Sisu Janamichi Tebe" or Sri Ananta Das was elder to him (Sri Achyuta Das) by 10 years (others say 20 years). He adds that Sri Yasowant and Sri Jagannath Das were two years younger than Sri Ananta Das. Further, Sri Balaram was 4 Years elder than Sri Jagannath Das. (Note: Do not take these figures to be authentic as they are based on one translation of the stanza which may not be accurate).

Another version says that Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared 15 years after Sri Balaram while Sri Ananta appeared 20 years after Sri Balaram. Thus nothing is final as yet and I need to put in a lot of effort.

This happens in the same Chatur-yuga cycle. In order to make their pastimes close in time, Dwapara comes before Kali and Krishna advents at the end of it. After Krishna's disappearance Deities of Him were made and worshipped. During Dwapara mostly Deities of Vishnu and Shiva were installed, as this was the yuga-dharma for that age. And then Lord Chatianya appeared after 4500 years of Kali yuga elapsed and spread the chanting of the holy names as the yuga-dharma for this age. But He could conveniently visit Vrindavana and meditate on Krishna's pastimes, and ask the Goswamis to excavate the pastime places.> > On the other hand, while the yuga avatars and yuga dharma became swapped in this cycle, the duration of the yugas and the living circumstances did not, so the descending order of duration by 432 000 years remained. Meanwhile, there are of course subperiods in the maha yuga cycles as well, as Sanjay Prabhu was mentioning previously. That's why some predicted a 10 000 year golden era beginning with the advent of Lord Caitanya.> > I hope that my understanding is correct.> > Yours, Gauranga das> > > ------> HARI OM TAT SAT> Jaya Jagannatha Mahaprabhu> > ------> GRAB THE GATOR!
