<br />
An ancient Vishnu idol has been found during excavation in an old village in Russia's Volga region, raising questions about the prevalent view on the origin of ancient Russia.<br />
<br />
The idol found in Staraya (old) Maina village dates back to VII-X century AD. Staraya Maina village in Ulyanovsk region was a highly populated city 1700 years ago, much older than Kiev, so far believed to be the mother of all Russian cities.<br />
"We may consider it incredible, but we have ground to assert that Middle-Volga region was the original land of Ancient Rus. This is a hypothesis, but a hypothesis, which requires thorough research," Reader of Ulyanovsk State University's archaeology department Dr Alexander Kozhevin told state-run television Vesti .<br />
<br />
Dr Kozhevin, who has been conducting excavation in Staraya Maina for last seven years, said that every single square metre of the surroundings of the ancient town situated on the banks of Samara, a tributary of Volga, is studded with antiques.<br />
<br />
Prior to unearthing of the Vishnu idol, Dr Kozhevin has already found ancient coins, pendants, rings and fragments of weapons.<br />
<br />
He believes that today's Staraya Maina, a town of eight thousand, was ten times more populated in the ancient times. It is from here that people started moving to the Don and Dneiper rivers around the time ancient Russy built the city of Kiev, now the capital of Ukraine.<br />
<br />
An international conference is being organised later this year to study the legacy of the ancient village, which can radically change the history of ancient Russia.</div>

The chariot’s horses, which are named after Gayatri and other Vedic meters, are harnessed by Arunadeva to a yoke that is also 900,000 yojanas wide.<br /><br />The seven horses yoked to the sun-god’s chariot are named Gayatri, Brhati, Usnik, Jagati, Tristup, Anustup and Pankti. These names of various Vedic meters designate the seven horses that carry the sun-god’s chariot.<br /><br />Although Arunadeva sits in front of the sun-god and is engaged in driving the chariot and controlling the horses, he looks backward toward the sun-god.<br /><br />There are sixty thousand saintly persons named Valikhilyas, each the size of a thumb, who are located in front of the sun-god and who offer him eloquent prayers of glorification.<br /><br />Similarly, fourteen other saints, Gandharvas, Apsaras, Nagas, Yaksas, Raksasas and demigods, who are divided into groups of two, assume different names every month and continuously perform different ritualistic ceremonies to worship the Supreme Lord as the most powerful demigod Suryadeva, who holds many names.<br /><br />Worshiping the most powerful demigod Surya, the Gandharvas sing in front of him, the Apsaras dance before the chariot, the Nisacaras follow the chariot, the Pannagas decorate the chariot, the Yaksas guard the chariot, and the saints called the Valikhilyas surround the sun-god and offer prayers. The seven groups of fourteen associates arrange the proper times for regular snow, heat and rain throughout the universe.<br /><br />in his orbit through Bhu-mandala, the sun-god traverses a distance of 95,100,000 yojanas [760,800,000 miles] at the speed of 2,000 yojanas and two krosas [16,004 miles] in a moment.fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-73179062044515683572012-01-27T09:20:00.002+05:302012-02-20T15:29:24.975+05:30Derived names from VedasIn Ramayana, When Sugreeva sends his army in four directions in search of Seeta, he mentions seven islands to the army going to east direction.<br /><br />The names of these islands (dveepas) are:<br />yava-dwipa > became Java (ya changed to ja),<br />rupyaka-dwipa,<br />suvarna-dwipa > Sumatra ??<br />and some more.<br /><br />If you look closely at the names of cities in Indonesia, Malesia, Thailand etc... they all seem to be crude distortion of some Sanskrit names...<br /><br />e.g. Java, Sumatra, Bali (Vaali ??), Combodia (Kambhoj ?), Pattaya, Surabaya, Singapore ( Simha-pur सिंहपुर ?

Append the name to the list and can describe its significance in few sentences. Here i'm starting with:<br /><br />Hastinapura, <Append your place to this list to avoid repetitions><br />Hastinapur is the capital of emporer Bharat and even now it remains the capital as Delhi :)<br />konkaN : Kokan (region that lies along western coastline of India, in Maharashtra state) <br /><br />Hastinapura, Indraprashta, Uttarkuru, Gandhar, Sindhu, Konkan, Kurukshetra, <br />kampuchiya=cambodia <br />Dwaraka has been clearly mentioned in MBH as 'dwaarvarti'. I guess the exact word 'dwaraka' is not there. Somebody pls correct me if reqd.<br />The mention of dwaraka comes in Mausala parva, where the yaduvamshi people destroy themselves as cursed by Gandhari.<br />Also another interesting fact...to know is...<br /><br />SurajKundThis is where Drona taught Pandavas and Kauravas. This was their Gurukul. its south of Delhi!<br /><br />During the peace mission, Lord Krishna asked Dhritarashtra to give only 5 villages to Panadavas.<br /><br />In those days villages were called pats...and those 5 pats today are <br /><br />Sonipat,Panipat,Tilpat,Baghpat<br /><br />Hastinapur is in UP..and is still called Hastinapur<br /><br />Kurukshetra...<br />As we all know is still called by the same name...<br />and interesting thing is nothing grows there....<br /><br />so much blood flowed into that area..that the land is still barren.....<br /> <br />1)perhaps Gurgaon was the place where Dronacharya taught the princes. Gurgaon come from 'Guru Gram'.<br />2)Dehradun is the original home of dronacharya. It come from the "Dehra (home) + Dron".<br />3)Karn did not join the Battle for the first 10 days. He camped at the place today called Karnal.<br />4)During Agyat vaas of one year, the Pandavas and Draupadi stayed in Matsyadesh, somewhere on the border of Uttaranchal and Himachal pradesh. The place called Sirhind (in this region) comes from Sairindhri (Draupadi's pseudonym from that year). <br /><br />It is mathura and bridhavana,<br />i think mathura exists still with the same name,which is the birth place of the lord<br /><br />also Gokul,where the lord was brought up and where krishna leelas happened.<br /><br />without these two places the topic is incomplete. <br />Mandar <br />"Madra" i.e Shallya's kingdom may be madras or tamil area <br />Jarasandh's "Maaghad" is Bihar, <br />Magadh is a part of Bihar.<br />Anga Pradesh of which Duryodhana made Karna the King is also in current day Bihar (As far as I know). The language Angika as spokken in major parts Bihar derives its name from Anga pradesh, and Magadhi another language derives its name from Magadh. <br />Hastinapur is in UP, distt. Meerut.<br />Guraon is the place where Dron tought <br />kauravas & Pandavas, its older name is gurugram.<br />Gaushala(place for cows) of Dron were at village Dhulkot. this village is 10 KM away from main city. <br />During agyatvaas of one year pandava stayed in Matsayadesh. Matsayadesh is in Rajesthan. Region is in Jaipur & Alwar Distt.<br />Pandupol is the place in siriska national century(Alwar, Rajasthan) where bheem meet with Hanuman before agyatvaas.Temple of loard hanuman is there. <br /><br />Suraj Kund, is the place where the princes were taught!!!<br />its not a long way from Faridabad!<br />Magadha was probably near modern Rajgir.<br />Madra was somewhere in modern Pakistan, not Madras. <br />Gurgaon is the place where dron tought kauravas & pandavs. Not suraj Kund, Suraj Kund area was in Khandav van. Go to the link http://gurgaon.nic.in/<br />Supparaka --- the modern day nallasopara near Mumbai<br />The asrama of parasurama was believed to be at Supparaka<br />Supparaka was also a bustling port during Buddha's time <br />Parikshit Garh -> Distt. Meerut, UP. It is the place where Vidura lived with his wife. Krishna stayed here with Vidura when he came Hastinapur as a Shantidoot.<br />Prabhasa- Where all the Yadu race was destroyed<br />Manipur- Where Arjun went during his 12 yr exile before the Rajasuya. He also married the princess of Manipur Chitrangadaa and had a son from her Babhruvahana.<br />Vidarbha- Where the father-in-law of Krishna, Bheeshmaka and later his son Rukmi, ruled. In short the maternal home of Rukmini.<br />Sindhu desh- Where Jayadratha, brother-in-law of Duryodhana ruled. Jayadratha is also called Saindhava.<br />Barnava, Distt. Bagpat, UP -> Lakshagrah (Varnawatpradesh) <br />Does anybody know the name of the place Ekachakrapuram in modern India where Bhima killed the bakasura...? <br />The ruins of Lakshayagrah can still be found near Bagpat distt. of UP.I have visited that place.Now their is also a muslim graveyard made up over the Lakshayagrah.The exact name of the present village is mentioned a few entries above. <br />Modern Names (all places are in Mathura a distt. of UP) -> events<br />Mathura -> Where Krishna born.<br />Gokul -> Krishna lived in this village up his 3 years & 9 months age.<br />Baldevo or Dauji -> Balram Born in this village.<br />Raval -> Radhaji born in this village.<br />Nand Gaon -> Krishna lived in this villge from his age 6 years & 3 months to 9 years & 11 months.<br />Barsana -> Village of Radharani. <br />Birth Place of Krishna is Mathura, soon as he was born..his father transported him to Gokul. He lived at Gokul up to his 3 years & 9 months age. After this Nand Maharaj Moved to Deegh(Distt. Bharatpur, Rajasthan), Lohvana , Vrindavana. Krishna lived at these places up to his age 6 years & 3 months. After this they moved to Nand Gaon.<br />Go & visit to Brij you will come to know whole story.<br />Village Birbabran, Distt. Hisar, Haryana is the place where Barbareek donated is head to Krishna. <br />Jyotisar near Kurukshetra is the place where lord Krishna teach geeta to Arjun.<br />Pehwa, Distt.

Chakra vyuha - formation of concentric circles in layers.<br />2. Shakata vyuha - formation of a cart wheel <br />3. Mandala vyuha - circular formation ( dont know how this is different from the above)<br />4. Urmi vuyha - formation resembling ocean's waves<br />5. Sarvatobhadra vyuha - meaning "safe on all sides" - seems to have been a kind of square array in which the troops faced all the points of the compass (as per KMG interpretation)<br />6. Garuda vyuha <br />7. Krauncha vyuha ( Krauncha is bird with a sharp pointed beak)<br />8. Vajra vyuha ( in the shape of the thunderbolt)<br />9. Suchimukha vyuha ( formation in the shape of a needle)<br />10.Padma vyuha (formation of a blooming lotus)<br />11. Sura & Asura vyuha hv been mentioned as well (cant interpret how they were)<br />12. ArdhaChandraakara vyuha (crescent shpe)<br />13.Makara vyuha ( crocodile-shaped)<br /><br />On the 14 day to protect Jayadratha, Drona arranges the KAurava forces in 3 vyuhas, <br />1st a shakata followed by Padma followed by Suchimucka at the end of the needle point of Suchimukha, JAyadratha is stationed.<br /><br />Some of these vyuhas ve been so beautifully demonstrated in pictures in the Amar Chitra Katha series Mahabharata.<br /><br />Can anybody pls add to the above list of vyuhas ? <br />What u ve sd is very much true. But the full military details of these vyuhas r not available & v can only speculate as to how they cd ve been.<br /><br />However in all the formations, the king remains at the centre or at the rear of the vyuha & important warriors form the forefront & flanks.<br />In a majority of the cases, elephant-warriors & foot soldiers were used for defensive purposes.Chariots & cavalry were used for attacking purposes. Hence chariot warriors were always exceptional warriors.<br /><br />This is like something like the modern day concepts in which the army has strike corps & reserve corps. The strike corps is equipped with the best of tanks, rocket launchers & attack helicopters.These are always in barracks & never used for guarding borders. They r used only for penetrating & holding a chunk of enemy territory in war.<br /><br />Coming back to Dwapara yuga :-)<br />1 common thing is each side tried its level best to see that their formation was not broken fully. <br />If a few powerful warriors from 1 side managed to break thru,the other side wd still hold out.<br />Many times parts of vyuha on either side wd b broken, troops used to regroup & again fight under the leadership of some able warrior.<br />Each vyuha had either the same vyuha or some other vyuha as a counter measure to it.<br /><br />In the Chakravyuha, Drona occupies an important position which enables him to cause max damage to the attacking army without being present in the front.<br /><br />On the 14 day, during the slaying of Jayadratha, Drona arranges a triple vyuha. However Arjuna succeeds in breaking thru all 3. The 1st vyuha of the Kauravas, the Shakata is completely destroyed by the Pandava army. However they r held in check at the entrance of the 2nd - Padma Vyuha by Drona. When Duryodhana asks Drona to go after Arjuna, Drona stresses the strategic importance of his staying at the entrance of Padma Vyuha since he does not want this to be broken & more help reaching Arjuna (after Satyaki & Bhima manage to break thru) who was already into the 3 Vyuha, the Suchimukha.fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-48662464288089789662011-12-30T14:19:00.001+05:302012-01-10T23:15:03.211+05:30Events of MahabharataMahabharata Events<br />Mahabharat events preceded the Kaliyug:<br /><br />1.

But these were merged in the lunar years as Adhik Mases. Tithiwayas and likewise, Bhishma and Yudhishthira followed this calculation as correct, but Duryodhana insisted on anonimity solar years, which was unacceptable in those days.<br /><br />40. Since the period was over the previous day, Arjuna declared his identity.

Ashwatthama murdered Pandava's sons during the same night on Margashirsha New Moon/Pausha Bright 1st Day night, and conveyed the dire information to the dying Duryodhana on Bright 1st Day early morning. Defeat of Ashwatthama : on Pausha Bright 1st Day.<br /><br />53. Pandava Armies 7 Akshouhinis = 551,33,83,260<br />Kaurava Armies 11 Akshouhinis = 866,38,87,960<br />Total 18 Akshouhinis = 1417,72,71,240<br /><br />Except Pandavas, Krishna.

On 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th day, Bhishma was in meditation. He renounced his mortal coil on 12th day. Hence 8th-12th of Pausha Dark Fortnight is called Bhishma Panchakam. Bhishma fell prostrate on Margashirsha Dark 7th Day. From 8th Day to Maagha Bright 11th Day, 48 days elapsed. "AshtaPanchasatam ratryassayana syasyama gatha" that is, Bhishma said that he completed 58 (10+48) days on the battlefield. " Sarashu nisitagresu yatha varsha satam tatha" meaning, by lying on pointed arrows, it appeared although it was 100 years. " Tribhaga seshah pakshyam suklo" meaning, it is Bright Fortnight, and still 3 parts remained. ( By dividing Bright Fortnight into 10 parts, 7 parts = 10.5 days or 11th day is in progress, and still 3 parts = 4.5 days remained upto Full Moon Day.)<br /><br />58. Ashwamedha Yadnya began on Shobhakrit Maagha Bright 12th Day. Just earlier, Parikshit was born to Uttara as posthumas premature, still born male baby at 8/9 months, but was revived by Krishna.<br /><br />15 years later, in Kartik month, Dhritarashtra left for the forest. 3 years later, Pandavas went to the forest to see Dhritarashtra etc. Vidura's death.<br />After 1 month, Dhritarashtra, Gandhari and Kunti got killed in a forest fire. <br /><br />59. Thirty six years after the Great War, that is in Bahudhanya year, evil omens in Dwaraka were observed. Samba became pregnant and a iron rod (musalam) was born.<br /><br />60. Yudhishthir ruled for yrs. 36-2-15 days. From Shubhakrit Pushya Full Moon Day to Bahudhanya Pushya Full Moon Day, it was 36 years and adding 0-2-15 days, it was Pramadi Bright 1st Day, when Kailyug started and Shri Krishna finished his Avatar. (B.C 3102-2-20 at 2-27-30 P.M)<br /><br />61. Seven days later, on Bright 7th Day, Dwarka city was submerged by the Ocean. Saptarishis were in Magha Star, 75 years prior to Kaliyug and remained there for 25 years after Kaliyug.<br /><br />Yudhishthir Shaka started from his coronation day that is, Krishna finished his Avatar in Yudhishthir Shaka yrs. 36-2-15.<br /><br />62. Pandavas started for their Final End after 0-6-11 days, that is, on Pramadi Ashwayuja Bright 12th Day. Yudhishthir was aged yrs. 128-0-6. Parikshit, 36 years old, was coronated on the same day at Hastinapur.<br /><br />63. Swargaarohanam is not clearly stated in the Epic. It may be 26 years afterwards. Sage Veda Vyas dictated the Great Epic to Ganapati only after Swargarohanam of the Pandavas, that is, after 26 years of Kaliyug.<br /><br />64. Parikshit ruled for 60 years, coronated his 25 year old son Janamejaya, and died.<br /><br />65. So, Bhagavatha was written by Sage Veda Vyas soon after Mahabharat was over, and before the 60th year of the Kaliyuga.<br /><br />66. In Dwapara Yuga, human beings lived upto 400 years. There are four stages in life - Balya, Youvana, Koumara and Vriddhapyam. In Dwaparyug, Balya stage was upto 40 years, Youvana stage upto 120 years, and later Koumara and Vriddhapyam stages. But now in the Kaliyuga, Balya stage is upto 15 years, Youvana upto 45 years, Koumara upto 60 years and Vriddhapyam beyond 60 years. <br /><br />Bhiishma's death: <br /><br />Maagha Shuddha AshTami day in Rohini Nakshtra in the afternoon that 58th day after the war started, Bhiishma died.

(November, 3094BC).<br /><br />Droupadi's Swayamvaram -in 3091BC, April - to reach the Wax-house it took 10 days for Pandavaas. They stayed there for an year. After the burning of the wax-house, they spent six months in the Shaalihotraa's ashram and seven months in Ekachatra city. <br /><br />The second coronation and building of Indraprasta was in November 3091BC, seven months after the marriage. <br /><br />Rajasuuya yagna was performed after Arjuna's dig vijaya tour - It took five years and six months for Arjuna. Subhadra's marriage was in April 3084BC. Three months after that was Khadava vana dahanam. <br /><br />Abhimanyu was born in 3083BC, February. <br /><br />Kaliyugam started in 3105BC, October 13th, Amaavaasya Mangala (Tuesday) JyeshaTa Nakshatra - Kali was born. This was the most inauspicious day. <br /><br />The next Pournima day (Full-moon day) was full eclipse of the Moon, October 1, 3104BC. That was the day, when the five grahaas along with moon were in DhanishTaa Nakshatra. <br /><br />Dharmajaa's Rajasuuya - Fifteen years before the Mahabharata war was the Rajasuuya yagna of Dharmaja. That day was amaavaasya (new-moon day) JyeshTa Muula nakshtra . YudhishTara shakam started in 3082BC, October 26th . The gambling and the banishment of Pandavaas to forest was in November 3081BC, Margashira shukla-Trayodashi. <br /><br />Vanavaasam was 12 years and living incognito was for one year (13 lunar years + 5 lunar months + 12 days or 13 solar years plus 18 days) - Bhiimshma calculates and declares that Dhurodhana's calculations were wrong. <br /><br />AJNaata vaasam (living incognito) began in Margashira 3069BC. Arjuna was noticed on Margashira Krishna Navami, 3068BC. <br /><br />The Great war began on 3067BC, Friday 22nd November, Margashira shudda ekadashi Nakshatra. <br /><br />The war lasted for 18 days.fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-14368738157369109582011-12-30T14:14:00.001+05:302012-01-04T11:05:50.613+05:30One AkshowhiniOne Akshowhini<br />Well I am sure that most of you know this calculation even then I am giving it.<br /><br /><br />1 Patti Comprised the following<br />- 1 Chariot<br />- 1 Elephant<br />- 5 foot soldiers<br />- 3 horses<br /><br />3 patti comprised of 1 Sena Mukha<br />3 Sena Mukha comprised of 1 Gulma<br />3 Gulma comprised of 1 gana<br />3 ganas comprised of 1 vahini<br />3 vahinis comprised of one pritana<br />3 pritanas comprised of one chamu<br />3 chamus comprised of 1 ankini<br />10 ankinis comprised of 1 akshowhini<br /><br />as per this calculation 1 akshowhini would be<br /><br />21870 chariots<br />21870 elephants<br />1,09,530 foot soldiers<br />65,610 horses<br />so there were in all :<br /><br />21870 *18 = 393660 chariots<br /><br />21870 *18 = 393660 elephants<br /><br /><br />109530 *18= 1971540 foot soldiers<br /><br /><br />65610*18 = 1180980 horsemen<br /><br />all these add to-->only 39,39,840 warriors....fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-49768902938369051252011-09-17T16:53:00.001+05:302011-09-20T21:55:47.456+05:30VedicMathematicsVedic Mathematics is the name given to the ancient system of Mathematics which was rediscovered from the Vedas …fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-40365439854895618562011-09-13T15:03:00.001+05:302011-09-13T15:03:58.637+05:30Vedic historyHistory of South Asia<br />Stone Age before 3300 BCE<br />Mature Harappan 2600–1700 BCE<br />Late Harappan 1700–1300 BCE<br />Iron Age 1200–300 BCE<br />Maurya Empire 321–184 BCE<br />Middle Kingdoms 230 BCE–1279 CE<br />Satavahana 230 BCE–220 CE<br />Gupta Empire 280–550 CE<br />Pala Empire 750–1140 CE<br />Delhi Sultanate 1206–1596<br />Mughal Empire 1526–1803<br />Maratha Empire 1674–1818<br />British India 1858–1947<br />Modern States since 1947fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-38900055652452204182011-09-12T14:15:00.001+05:302011-12-31T12:38:23.989+05:30Atri's solar eclipseIn Rig Veda&Sankhyayana Brahmana, Atri Rishi has described a total solar eclipse that occurred three days before autumnal equinox.

This article revisits the issue of dating Atri’s solar eclipse in the present computer era with vastly superior mathematical models of heavenly body motion.<br /><br /> fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-12566640444162574472011-09-11T12:17:00.000+05:302011-09-11T12:19:15.020+05:30Dating the Mahabharatha - Two eclipses in thirteen daysMahabharata, by venerable Veda Vyasa, is an important epic from India. It is much larger than Homer’s Iliad. The traditional Indian ethos considers this to be a major historical event from a period nearly 5000-6000 years old. But like Homer’s Iliad (which is now considered historical based on evidence), doubts about Mahabharata’s historicity has been and is currently challenged by many. There are references to Mahabharata by Panini in circa 450 BC. The Mahabharata story is more than 100,000 verses in Sanskrit, in anushtap chandas prosody. It is rich with a large number of astronomical observations about planet positions, their retrograde motion, and eclipses in period approaching the Mahabharata war.<br /><br />In the first article, one unique statement from Mahabharata Bhishma Parva (Chapter) that ‘Two eclipses occurred in 13 days’ prior to war is analyzed. Can a solar-lunar eclipse pair occur in 13 days? Were these seen? In this modern computer era, we can use mathematical modeling, large and refined astronomical databases, and complex astronomical computer software to accurately back project all possible eclipses over the past 5000 years. Details of such a study is presented. The article concludes that naked eye visible solar-lunar eclipse pairs can occur in a short 332 hours occasionally, which is less than 14 days (336 hours is 14 days). These eclipses would occur through the transition of sunrise or sunset. Nearly 30 pairs of such eclipse pairs that were visible in Northern India during 700 BC to 3300 BC have been identified.fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-40275397773148517492011-09-11T11:57:00.001+05:302011-12-31T12:38:50.163+05:30Puranic Time Measurements"Explained"The Puranas describe a number of time cycles within cycles. Discussions of these cycles can become confusing because different cycles are measured in different types of units. For example, the cycles are often described in units of deva years<br />( years in the higher planets ), each of which equals 360 human years.<br /><br />The following description starts with the smaller cycles and works up to the larger ones. The length of each cycle is given in ordinary human (earth) years, as well other units where appropriate. Large numbers are described using the conventions of American English: thus, a million is a thousand thousand, a billion is a thousand million, a trillion is a thousand billion.fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-64048484173362738252011-09-09T10:46:00.001+05:302011-12-30T19:41:22.851+05:30Reckoning of time for Brahma.1000 Mahayugas = 1 kalpa = 1 day (day only) of Brahma<br /><br />(Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma)<br /><br /> 30 days of Brahma = 1 month of Brahma (259.2 billion human years)<br /> 12 months of Brahma = 1 year of Brahma (3.1104 trillion human years)<br /> 50 years of Brahma = 1 Pararddha<br /> 2 parardhas = 100 years of Brahma = 1 Para = 1 Mahakalpa (the lifespan of Brahma)(311.04 trillion human years)<br /><br />One day of Brahma is divided into 10,000 parts called charanas. The charanas are divided as follows:<br />The Four Yugas 4 charanas (1,728,000 solar years) Satya Yuga<br />3 charanas (1,296,000 solar years) Treta Yuga<br />2 charanas (864,000 solar years) Dwapar Yuga<br />1 charanas (432,000 solar years) Kali Yuga<br />Source: [3]<br /><br />The cycle repeats itself so altogether there are 1,000 cycles of mahayugas in one day of Brahma.<br /><br /> One cycle of the above four yugas is one mahayuga (4.32 million solar years)<br /> as is confirmed by the Gita statement "sahasra-yuga paryantam ahar-yad brahmano viduh", meaning, a day of brahma is of 1000 mahayugas. Thus a day of Brahma, kalpa, is of duration: 4.32 billion solar years. Two kalpas constitute a day and night of Brahma<br /> A manvantara consists of 71 mahayugas (306,720,000 solar years).

But, is it the age of the total universe? No, because the universe also contains black holes and the neutron stars whose age is not added to it. Paul Davies in his book “The Last Three Minutes” (published 1994 by Basic Books, Harpers Collins, New York), describes about astronomers’ understanding of the fate of the stars. He says, <br /><br /><br />“Nobody knows how many stars have already succumbed in this manner, but the Milky Way alone could contain billions of these stellar corpses… A dwarf star at the bottom end of the stellar-mass range may shine steadily for a trillion years.” (p. 46)<br /><br />Taking this view of a dwarf star’s life into consideration, the actual age of the universe jumps from the range of billions of years to trillions of years. Again, think of a dwarf star changing to a neutron star, and a neutron star turning into a black hole. It may easily come to several trillion years. And then, how long these black holes have been in existence, no one knows. Thus, it could be reasonably believed that the universe must have been existing for hundreds of trillions of years. <br /><br />It could be further believed that when these black holes were in the shape of the stars, the configuration of the clusters and galaxies of the universe of that period may have been different than it is observed today. <br /><br />Again, if you consider the universe of that period (when the existing black holes of that period were the stars) there must also have been black holes in the cosmos of that period, because the existence of the black holes is the procedural factor of cosmic-mechanics. <br /><br />In this way, going backward and backward, you will find that the true life of the universe comes to uncountable trillions of years, and it is a fact that, according to this procedure, the configuration of the cosmos would have perpetually kept on changing from one black hole period to another black hole period which was always in the range of trillions of years. Thus, considering uncountable trillions of years as the total age of the universe, the figure of 155.52 trillion years as the total age of our earth planet and the sun is not very much.<br /><br />Critics can’t be appeased.<br />One thing you must understand is that you can never satisfy a critic because he can’t leave his critical nature, and you can never convince an obstinate or a non-godly person because he wouldn't accept your statements. Explanations and evidences are for gentlemen and for open-minded people who are willing to correct their mistakes and are ready to accept the right path and the honest statement. Bhagwan Krishn Himself went to the wicked Duryodhan to convince him that he should be reasonable and compromise with Arjun, but he did not; and Shishupal criticized all-great and all-loved Krishn to the last bit of his wits without any reason. So, some people have a critical nature and a leaning towards non-Godliness which is the sign of the impiousness of their heart and the biased structure of their mind. It is the nature of such people that they cannot tolerate to read or hear about the authentic and eternal Divineness of Bhartiya religion and Bhartiya history which is described in the Puranas especially in the Bhagwatam. It is thus wise to leave them to live with their own beliefs and don’t try to unnecessarily argue with them to accept the right thing. As regards the evidences, the criteria of evidence has already been discussed in Article 4. On this earth planet, Bhagwan Ram was about 18 million years ago and Bhagwan Krishn was about 5,000 years ago. Buildings don’t survive that long and coins are coincidental to find, whereas the bed of the river Jamuna would have risen and changed quite significantly. So, digging the entire district of Mathura to find a tiny gold coin of the period of the demon king Kans is not feasible. <br /><br />The most reliable reaffirmations of the authenticity of the unbroken continuity of the Hindu civilization of 1,900 million years from the period of the first Manu to the period of Krishn, are the commentaries on the Bhagwatam by the great Masters and the acharyas that reconfirm every statement of the Bhagwatam. The Bhagwatam explains the entire procedure of the creation of the universe and the brahmandas (governed by Brahma) and tells the entire history since the creation of this brahmand, from 155.52 trillion years ago and up to the period of Krishn. A major part of the Bhagwatam contains the descriptions of the prime events of the last 1,900 million years. <br /><br />The acharyas like Roop Goswami, Jeev Goswami, Vallabhacharya, Vishvanath Chakrvarti and Shridhar Swami etc., wrote their commentaries on the Bhagwatam, revealing the greatness of its descriptions and explaining the inherent meanings of the verses of the Bhagwatam. It is mentioned in The True History and the Religion of India that Shridhar Swami found a minor copying error in the existing copy of the Bhagwatam in his time, so he corrected it in his commentaries. It shows how careful our great Masters were in maintaining the authenticity of our scriptures. So, arguing about the proven facts of the Bhartiya history (which are re-authenticated by our great Masters) by a worldly person (even if he is a higher degree holder) who is attached to his intellectual, emotional and sensual enjoyments of a pure worldly nature, is like a kid, who has read some science fiction stories, happens to visit NASA Research Institute, unauthoritatively sneaks into the research chamber and starts telling the scientists how wrong they are. But, this is the age of the freedom of speech, anyone could say anything; still the fact remains the fact and the fiction remains the fiction.<br /><br /><br /><!-- Begin: AdBrite, Generated: 2010-04-20 2:47:36 --><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />var AdBrite_Title_Color = '0000FF';<br />var AdBrite_Text_Color = '000000';<br />var AdBrite_Background_Color = 'FFFFFF';<br />var AdBrite_Border_Color = 'CCCCCC';<br />var AdBrite_URL_Color = '008000';<br />try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window.top!=window.self?2:1;var AdBrite_Referrer=document.referrer==''?document.location:document.referrer;AdBrite_Referrer=encodeURIComponent(AdBrite_Referrer);}catch(e){var AdBrite_Iframe='';var AdBrite_Referrer='';}<br /></script><br /><span style="white-space:nowrap;"><script type="text/javascript">document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,83,67,82,73,80,84));document.write(' src="http://ads.adbrite.com/mb/text_group.php?sid=1608625&zs=3732385f3930&ifr='+AdBrite_Iframe+'&ref='+AdBrite_Referrer+'" type="text/javascript">');document.write(String.fromCharCode(60,47,83,67,82,73,80,84,62));</script><br /><a target="_top" href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/commerce/purchase_form.php?opid=1608625&afsid=1"><img src="http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/adbrite-your-ad-here-leaderboard.gif" style="background-color:#CCCCCC;border:none;padding:0;margin:0;" alt="Your Ad Here" width="14" height="90" border="0" /></a></span><br /><!-- End: AdBrite -->fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-26358826194186407762009-01-09T19:38:00.001+05:302009-02-16T23:37:46.339+05:30vedic timeline<a href="http://flagcounter.com/more/GbYW"><img src="http://flagcounter.com/count/GbYW/bg=FFFFFF/txt=000000/border=CCCCCC/columns=2/maxflags=12/viewers=0/labels=0/" alt="free counters" border="0"></a><img style="visibility:hidden;width:0px;height:0px;" border=0 width=0 height=0 src="http://counters.gigya.com/wildfire/IMP/CXNID=2000002.0NXC/bHQ9MTIzMTUxMDAxOTY4OCZwdD*xMjMxNTEwMDkxMzUxJnA9MTQ2NDgxJmQ9Jm49YmxvZ2dlciZnPTEmdD*mbz1jYzFiZDEyOThmYjA*NGIxOWQwOGFiZjU2NjgwYTFjYg==.gif" />fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3914604822707213859.post-24567335100392227502008-12-16T20:57:00.000+05:302008-12-16T20:59:33.187+05:30The exact calculations of the age of Brahma<h2><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">The exact calculations of the age of Brahma and the existing </span><i style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);">manvantar </i><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"> according to the Bhagwatam.</span><br /></h2><b>Absolute age of the earth planet and the sun. </b> Bhagwan Ved Vyas explains in the Bhagwatam that 155.52 trillion years have passed since Brahma originally created this planetary system, and this is the present age of Brahma. <span style="font-size:100%;"> </span><p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-size:100%;">The Bhagwatam says, “Brahma’s one day equals to 1,000 cycles of the four <i>yugas </i>(one cycle of four <i>yugas</i> is 4.32 million years).

The Conference, attended by scholars and Vedic researchers from several countries, was inaugurated by the <b>Prime Minister of Trinidad</b> and <b>Tobago, Dr Basdeo Panday</b>. There were several topics discussed during the three-day event. Two of the most important topics discussed were concerning the controversial <a href="http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/ancient/aryan/aryan_link.html">Aryan Invasion Theory</a> and the accomplishments of the civilization that existed along the banks of the Indus and sarasvati rivers. The conference focused on topics relating to the origins of ancient Indian Civilization. Several leading authorities spoke at the first international conference of its type, including <ul><li>Dr B B Lal, (former Director General, Archaeological Survey of India),<br /></li><li>Dr Klaus Klostermaier (Head of the Department of Religion, University of Manitoba, Canada and one of the leading authorities in the world on Hinduism),<br /></li><li>Dr Jim Shaffer (world renowned Archaeologist and Professor of Anthropology at Case Western Reserve University).<br /></li><li>Dr David Frawley, (American Vedic Scholar and author of several books on ancient India),<br /></li><li>Dr Subhash Kak (a leading expert on Vedic Science and Astronomy),<br /></li><li>Dr Koenraad Elst (Catholic University, Leuven, Belgium, a leading European author on Indian History and author of several books on Indian History) </li></ul> <p>Chief Guest, Prime Minister Basdeo Panday, was introduced by one of the conference conveners and well known Vedic Scholar Dr Bhu Dev Sharma. He called upon the scholars to provide some direction to the common man by giving practical guidelines blending the best of East and West. A highly developed civilization existed along the banks of these rivers as early as 6000 BC, according to the Rig Veda and corroborated by recent archaeological discoveries in India and Pakistan. He said they were important milestones in the development of Indian and Human societies. These early civilizations did not have any outside inspiration. It was the florescence of the early Indian mind.<br /><br />In the Concluding session of the conference particpants decided to form an academic organization to hold similar conferences and to build other academic activities for Vedic studies. </p> <p> </p><hr /> <center><p><b><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:+2;">List of materials available from the Conference</span></span></b></p></center> <ol><li><a href="http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/ancient/indus/abstracts.html">Abstracts of the papers</a> </li><li>Information on the new organization<a href="http://www.hindunet.org/hindu_history/ancient/indus/waves.html"> World Association for Vedic Studies.</a> </li><li>For a copy of the proceedings please write a check of $25.00 ($20 + $5.0 S & H) to "International Ancient India Conference" and mail it to </li></ol> <p><b>Dr Deen Bandbu Chandora,<br />4117 Menlo Way,<br />Doraville, GA, 30340.</b></p>fariahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08507904385485079400noreply@blogger.com0
