Astronomical placements during Mahabharat......

[Guest guest]

The the astral configurations described in this article are general,

that is, they do not pertain to any particular chart.

 

What do you think was happening in the other parts of the world at

that time? There were civilizations in other parts too at that time.

 

I can't seem to come up with a good explaination for this. Any inputs

would be welcome.

 

Thanks.
