Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear esteemed members, Before I begin my question let me point out that I am a learner and so please correct me for any incorrect information I am presenting here. Vishwamitra and Vashistha were contemporary Rishis. I am assuming the same era here. Vashistha's son Shakti. Shakti's son Parasara. Parasara's son Vyasa (with Satyavati before meeting Shantanu). Vishwamitra's daughter Shakuntala Dushyanta married Shakuntala, the daughter of sage Vishvamitra and the Apsara Menaka. Kalidasa wrote the epic Abhijñ & #257;nash & #257;kuntala on the life of Dushyanta After this, the order of the offspring is as follows: - Bharata, son of Dushyanta and Shakuntala. India was named " Bharata " after him. - Bhumanyu - Vrihatkshatra - Suhotra - Hasti - Ajmeedh - Riksha - Sanwaran - Kuru, founder of the city of Kurukshetra. After Kuru the order of succeeding kings is not in Vishnu Purana, Bramha Purana, Bhagwata and Mahabharata. They include 1. Abhishyantu 2. Parikshit 3. Janmejaya 4. Surath 5. Vidurath 6. Riksh II 7. Bhimsen 8. Prateep 9. Shantanu married firstly Ganga and secondly Satyavati. According the condition of marriage of Satyavati, her son Vichitravirya became the next king. Now Vyasa's engaged in niyog with late Vichitravirya's wives to give Kuru vamsa offspring. Whereas from Vashistha to Vyasa there are only 4 generations. Vishwamitra to Vichitravirya is 19 generations. I am surely missing something. Can someone please correct me? Student Always, Souvik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hare Rama Krishna Dear Souvik, I assume you looked in Srimad Bhagavatam.?? There is a long list of who is who.. At this site is some info I didnt know before- http://www.veda.harekrsna.cz/encyclopedia/historical-krsna.htm Some of the links there are interesting as well. Indian history /culture hasnt been given the exposure and reverence it deserves. In fact most historical accounts of the worlds history somehow " forget " India existed.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hi Souvik, From the below one thing everyone can infer ! With a great Heirarchy, Kauravas & Pandvas both were having Learned Astrologers to their disposal. Still they were part of a great Epic of our civilisation. Why could they not perform remedies & change the due course of what we know is history today ? I am not questioning the remedial measures on Astrology. I am only pondering over the thought, when ancient people during whose tenure Astrology was framed could not utilize the knowledge, then how can we with so little knowledge in this time frame change our destinies ?

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear Souvikji, Vishwamitra's generation did not extend till 19.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear Bhagvati-ji, absolutely agreed...but still Shakuntala and Dushyanta were from the same era, so we can call it the same generation. I never said Vishwamitra had a son, he had a daughter who was married into Chandra vamsa. My point is the generation gap in the story.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear Amit-ji, Yes, we can't. If doing Ashwamedh Yagna (in today's term globalization of your business over time zones) is your destiny, you will do so - but when a war (global economic crisis) ensures you will have to face the consequences just like everyone else born in the era. Madhusan (Gadhari's curse) cudn't escape his karma, who are we to even think about it. You are right, we can't change it, we have to live the consequences of our actions. Are the actions destined too. That opens up the age old debate box - lets go into that.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Dear All, Viswamitra did have many sons.According to Vishnu Purana Book IV, Chapter VII, Slokas 17 and 18, Meaning: The son of Viswamitra was Sunahsepahs, the descendant of Bhrgu, given by the gods, and thence named Devarata, Viswamitra hadother sons also, amongs whom the most celebrated were Madhuchhandas, Kritajaya, Devadeva, Ashtaka, Kachchapa, and Harita; these founded many families, all of whom were known by the name of Kausikas, and intermarried with the families of various Rshis. Drtharaashtra , Pandu and Vidura were not the sons of KrishnadwipayanaVeda Vyasa.The were born to Vichitraveeriya when he was alive itself to his 2 wives Ambika, Ambaalika and his one of his maid Servant when Veda Vyasa came to his palace and they prostrated at the feet of Veda Vyasa and begot Dritaraashtra, Pandu and Vidura respectively by the blessing of Veda Vyasa.Only if Drtharaashtra, Paandu and Vidura were born to Vichitraveerya they are Bhaaratas and it is Bharatavamsa and the great war is MAHAABHAARATA.On the other hand if they were born of Veda Vyasa they were not Bhaaratas, Bharatavansis and the Great war was not MAHAABHAARATA but they were Paaraasaraas, Paraasaravamsis and the Great war was MAHAAPARAASARAM.This is not only logic but the fact though my extensive research.Hence its clear that saying Drtharaashtra, Pandu and Vidura were born to Veda bhagavathi_hariharan <bhagavathi_hariharan Re: Question on time period of Vyasa Date: Monday, November 10, 2008, 9:31 AM Dear Souvikji,Vishwamitra' s generation did not extend till 19.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dear Souvik, Satyavati never asked Bheeshma to copulate with Kashi Princesses for a heir to the throne.It is just another interpolation in Mahaabhaarata as a thread of continuation interpolation of writing that the 3 princeses Drtharashtra, Pandu and Vidura were born to Veda Vyasa.There are many such interpolations in Mahabharata, Ramaayana and Puranas which are glaring.By the by I am not quoting from any of the now available Versons of Mahaabhaarata.I say this with purse common sense and logic which is necessary to prove to people.By the by there are many such secreats in Mahaabharata whichare not klnown to people in Mahabharata which are to be explained in order that common people understand.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dear Mr.Sunil K Bhattacharya, Yes but, the Bhaaratavarsha may have also got its name from Maharshi BHARATA who lived aeons before Vrshabadeva.The original name of Bhaaratavarsha was Brahmavarta, meaning the Land of Brahman.Later on it was named Ajanaabavarsha after Emperor Aja the son of Emperor Naabi.And furthur later on it was named Bharatavarsha after Maharshi Bharata according to Puranas.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dear VENKATAKRISHNAN, I am not at all claiming that your views are incorrect. Everyone is entitled to a view and it is also true that minority of such views may be path-breaking. However, in this regard, please let me know the motive behind Rishi Vyasa or anyone for that matter mentioning the fact that Vichtrivirya died without progeny. Please do also let me know if you have alternative views about the birth story of Karna and Krishna, just curious. Also, please do point to me the place where I can read the " real " Mahabharata, according to your views.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dear Souvikji, Vishwamitra's generation did not extend till 19. His generation stopped with him itself becuase he had no son. Bharat was born through his daughter. Bharat belonged to the " Puruvansh " . Regards, bhagavathiDear Bhagavathi, Half knowledge as very dangerous. Viswamitra has perpetrated a Gotra, not just a lineage. To start with we find that he had several sons including Madhuchandas who was a Vedic seer - in fact, the Rg Veda starts with his hymns. Madhuchandas was also a preceptor to some of the famous kings, I do not remember , possibly Mandhatru. ( i have posted this elsewhere and I need time to search for that) But it is possible there are several Viswamitras sharing their gotra belonging to different times - Rg Vedic Viswamitra, (In Rg Veda itself there could be more than one VM), the Ramayan VM, the one who fought with Vasistha for his cows and finally, one who has sired Sakuntala. .. One thing is certain that there is a traditional fight between Vasishtas and Viswamitras.hope this helps, Kishore patnaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Dear Souvik, Veda Vyasa the original author of Mahaabharata never wrote that Vichitraveeriya died without issues.It was some other person later who made these interpolations. Karna was born to Kunthi and Suryabhagavan before she got married.LORD KRISHNA was born to Devaki and Vasudeva in the Jail in Mathura and was broughtup by Yasoda and Nandagopa.As for as the Birth of Karna and Lord Krishna I have no alternative views.For they are facts.The original or real Mahaabharata by Veda Vyasa is not available anywhere at present. Cordially, B.C.VENKATAKRISHNAN. Souvik Dutta <explore_vulcan Re: Question on time period of Vyasa Tuesday, November 11, 2008, 11:58 AM Dear VENKATAKRISHNAN, I am not at all claiming that your views are incorrect. Everyone is entitled to a view and it is also true that minority of such views may be path-breaking. However, in this regard, please let me know the motive behind Rishi Vyasa or anyone for that matter mentioning the fact that Vichtrivirya died without progeny. Please do also let me know if you have alternative views about the birth story of Karna and Krishna, just curious. Also, please do point to me the place where I can read the " real " Mahabharata, according to your views. Regards, Souvik ancient_indian_ astrology, venkata krishnan <bcvk71 wrote: > > Dear Souvik, > Satyavati never asked Bheeshma to copulate with Kashi Princesses for a heir to the throne.It is just another interpolation in Mahaabhaarata as a thread of continuation interpolation of writing that the 3 princeses Drtharashtra, Pandu and Vidura were born to Veda Vyasa.There are many such interpolations in Mahabharata, Ramaayana and Puranas which are glaring.By the by I am not quoting from any of the now available Versons of Mahaabhaarata. I say this with purse common sense and logic which is necessary to prove to people.By the by there are many such secreats in Mahaabharata whichare not klnown to people in Mahabharata which are to be explained in order that common people understand. > B.C.VENKATAKRISHNAN . > website: www.vedascience. com > > > > Souvik Dutta <explore_vulcan@ ...> > [ancient_indian_ astrology] Re: Question on time period of Vyasa > ancient_indian_ astrology > Monday, November 10, 2008, 6:32 PM Dear friend, > Which version of mahabharata are you refering?
