Ramayan and Mahabharat

Setting Timeline for Ramayan and Mahabharat

A tablet found in the Mohenjodaro sites, dated 2600BC, depicts Lord Krishna.

An Egyptian Pyramid, dated 3000 BC, has a verse from the Bhagavad Geeta.

From Vishnu Puraan it is known that the Kali Age started on February 20, 3102 BC. Mahabharat occured, before the end of Dwapar, hence 3102 BC seems to be the lower limit for Mahabharat.

Using the position of planets mentioned in Mahabharat, dates have been calculated for the great war. The great Aryabhatta calculated 3100 BC. Dr. Patnaik calculated October 16, 3138 BC. Dr. P.V. Vartak proves this date to be October 16, 5561 B.C.

At this point we can say that Mahabharat war occured latest in 3102 BC and earliest in 5561 BC. Considering this baseline for Mahabharat we calculate back in time ...

Between Rama and Krishna there were about 60 kings. Say, each king ruled for about 35 years. (The history of India from 300 BC to 1700 AD, shows each king ruled for 40-45 years). So even after assuming a lower range of 35 years, one can say that Rama existed atleast 2000 years before Krishna. So Rama existed latest in 5100 BC and earliest in 7500 BC. (Dr. P. V. Vartak has calculated the birth date of Rama as 4th Dec 7323 BC.)

 

Dushyant's contemporary Anaranya was Rama's 40th ancestor. Thus Dushyant, must have existed @1200 years before Rama. That gives the time frame of 6300 BC - 8800 BC for Dushyant and his contemporaries: Parshuram, Vishwamitra, Vasishta and Bharat.

 

Anaranya, was the 62nd decendant of Manu. Thus Manu existed atleast 2000 years before Dushyant. So, Manu must have existed sometime between 8300 BC and 10,800 BC.

 

Note on position of planets:

During early times, it was not customary to keep a count of years. Panchang & Shaka came into being sometime in the last 5,000 years. Thus, the early Hindus gave the positions of Vernal equinox, Saptarshi & the planets to define exact time. This evidence from Ramayan and Mahabharat has been used to calculate the times for the events.

 

 

Note on the idol of Krishna found in Mohenjodaro:

Not only statue of Krishna, but also of Shiva and Durga were found. This means that the people in the Sarasvati-Sindhu valley considered Krishna & Shiva as their gods. Also the "Arya" Krishna existed before "Aryan Invasion" destroyed the Saraswati valley! Knock! Knock! Anything wrong in the Aryant Invasion Theory?

 

 

Note on the verse of Geeta on Egyptian Pyramid:

There are some scholars who say: This proves that Krishna learned his Geeta philosophy from the Egyptians!

Please note that only one verse of Geeta was found in Egypt, not the whole Geeta. Here it is:

 

vasanvsi jeernani yatha vihaya, navani

ghrunnati naro parani

 

- Nava Bharat Times, 18-4-1967

 

 

[Guest guest]

propose the Aryan Invasion theory with a straight face?

 

How could they claim the Bhagavad-Gita was written down in late BC or early AD?

 

How reliable are your sources? Why have I never heard of this before?

 

Where can I find a more direct source re: this discovery?

[maadhav]

sarasvati valley dried up because of earth/geological movement, not becaue of any invasion. source- vamdev shastri.

"Spend some time doing it before calling others fool. Looks like you are still in the dark my friend. "

 

When did I say that you were a fool?

All I was doing is ASKING a question?

 

I was just wondering if you can point me to some of your sources or something. Because I've never heard of an inscription of the Bhagavad-Gita on an Egyptian pyramid. If it's true, that's amazing, and I would have a hard time believing in these Eurocentric theories that keep on coming up. It would be nice to show people this as well.
