Respected scholars,

Part 1 of 3 of my refutation of 5561 BCE dating of Mahabharata has premiered on Sangam Talks. Here is the link to full talk:

Refutation of the 5561 BCE dating of the Mahabharata War | Dr Raja Ram Mohan Roy | #SangamTalks - YouTube

The talk deals with:

1. Was there an epoch of Arundhati when Arundhati was moving ahead of Vasishtha?

2. What is the context of this observation?

3. List of all mentions of Arundhati in Mahabharata and observation that nowhere else in Mahabharata, Arundhati is seen moving ahead of Vasishtha.

4. Calculation of distance between Arundhati and Vasishtha over the past 14000 years.

5. Can the epoch of Arundhati be determined using astronomy software?

Best regards,

Raja

Respected scholars,

Part 2 of 3 of my refutation of 5561 BCE dating of Mahabharata has premiered on Sangam Talks. Here is the link to full talk:

Refutation of 5561 BCE dating of Mahabharata Pt 2 | Dr Raja Ram Mohan Roy | #SangamTalks - YouTube

The talk deals with:

1. Error in position of comets in astronomy software

2. Error in position of moon in astronomy software

3. Error in position of planets in astronomy software

4. Demonstration that no matter what the position of astronomical bodies shown in the software Voyager 4.5 used by Mr. Oak, he claims corroboration when there is none. He claims corroboration of Haley's comet in 5561 BCE even when in the Voyager 4.5 software used by him, Haley's comet is shown in apparition 14 years later in 5547 BCE.

5. Examples of absurdity of corroborating analogies and claiming objective testing.

Best regards,

Raja

Respected scholars,

Part 3 of 3 of my refutation of 5561 BCE dating of Mahabharata has premiered on Sangam Talks. Here is the link to full talk:

The talk deals with the refutation of Bhishma Nirvana dating by Mr. Nilesh Oak. The dating is based on two claims by Mr. Oak:

1. The month of Margashirsha coincided with the first half of the Sharad season.

I show that all 24 verses from Mahabharata cited by Mr. Oak as proof for Margashirsha in Sharad season are analogies. I cite 58 verses with analogies of other seasons as negations from the same parts of MB (Bhishma Parva to Stri Parva). It is clear that Mr. Oak has selected analogies to prove his point. I further cite actual observations from MB to show that MB has standard seasons and months (ashwina-karttika in Sharad season).

2. Bhishma was on bed of arrows for 92+ days:

I show that there is contradictory evidence in MB. There is evidence for 58 days as well as 92+ days. The evidence is more in favor of 58 days. Mr. Oak claims 300 verses in support of 92+ days, while there are only 2. I show that the rest are analogies, and hence his dating of Bhishma Nirvana is refuted.

Best regards,

Raja
