Guest guest Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Dear Dr, Jrusgbab Ramanathan, Many thanks for your mail. A lot of discussoin is going on about the dates of the Incarnations of Bhagwan Ram and Bhagwan Krishna vis-vis Hindu calendar in several forums. I suggest you join hinducalendar to get a clear picture yourself, since as on date, I am myself as confused about the actual dates of their Incarnation as you are, the reason being that as per the so called astrological combination in the VR and the Mahabhabarata, various scholars have fixed the dates of Incarnation of Bhagwan Ram from 157 BCE to 7323 BCE and of Bhagwean Krishen from 1400 BCE to 3200 BCE. I do not know whether they are doing so to confuse a layman deliberately or is it only to prove their astrological prowess!
