PraNAms - For those who are interested. Attached is the article by Srini Kalyanaraman who has been working diligently on Indology - The article relates the Indian Calendar to Julien one based on Astronomical position.

Not sure if Advaitin accepts the attachments - without really getting attached!

Hari Om!

I forgot to mention - I had article wrote and posted on Adviatin list many years ago on Historical veracity of Mahabharat based on Sri Srinivasa Raghavan that Srini refers to in the article that I posted. The article I wrote can be found in the book Vol. 1 of Journey Beyond: A Non-Dual Approach, published by Indic Academy, now available on Amazon.

Hari Om!

Namaste Sadaji

Several stalwarts in the past , such as prof Raghavan and some of his eminent followers, tried their best to debunk the 3102 BCE date of the start of the Kali Yuga, but failed miserably. Mahabharata clearly gave the details of when Bhishma died, and the great Mahabharata scholar Nilakantha, who was originally from Kerala, clearly found that out, but sadly no so-called scholars of today have the ability to see the facts. Today’s scholars don’t love truth and that’s why the truth eludes them.
The same thing is happening in case of dating of Adi Shankara. One Phatak gave the incomplete details of one Shankara born in Chidambaram, as that of Adi Shankara to the colonial historian, and that fitted well with the cooked up AIT-timeline, and that appears to be the truth to all and that is how the 8th century AD date of Adi Shankara has come to stay. Finally the truth has been demolished and all seem to be happy.

Dear Sadaji,

I just had a look at the attachment with your mail. Prof. Raghavan meshed up things and that is why he faced the consequences, that he became absolutely clueless. So also became his blind followers. First and foremost he flouted the time-honoured tradition which says that 3102 BCE is the year when Lord Krishna left for his heavenly abode, at the age of 125 years and a few months. One great (Kannadiga?) astrologer from Bangalore had shown years ago that modern astronomy supports the traditional year of birth of Lord Krishna in 3228 BCE. Prof. Raghavan ended up with the absurd date of 3112 BCE as the date of Lord Krishna. That is why he and his blind supporters had not been able to find the year of the Mahabharata war, even after years of toil. The Mahabharata war took place at the end of the sandhya-period of the Dwapara yuga, when 99 % of the Dwapara yuga was over. In the Vana Parva of Mahabharata, Hanumanji told Bhima that the Kali Yuga was yet to come, obviously because Kali Yuga started only when Lord Krishna passed away.

One who has read the Mahabharata well, knows that just before the Mahabharata war there was a 13-day eclipse pair and two Saros-cycles later (i.e. after 36 years of that) there was another 13-day eclipse pair. It is a pity, that Prof Raghavan and his supporters totally ignored these eclipse pairs, even though both the sage Vedavyasa (just when the Mhabahratawar started) and Lord Krishna (36 years later) spoke highly about these eclipse pairs.

These scholars also never cared to find out what were the sane observations of the great Mahabharata scholar Nilakantha (from Kerala?), about the date of passing away of Bhishma. Since all there are "Apriya Satyas" let us not discuss much about it in our Advaitn forum.

Jai Shri Krishna

Dear Sadaji,

Yes, we should not discuss more on this in the Advaitin forum. I had enough of discussion with the people like Prof Achar, Dr. Manish Pandit and Dr. Jayasree Saranathan and others, and I have also given them enough of hints and tips, but they want to continue their old ways of looking at the date of the Mahabharata war. It becomes a question of their prestige and that is why they don't want to change their stand. So I decided to leave them alone.

Jai Shri Krishna
