Paper on dating of Mahabharata War

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Tella Puli,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

Though I have checked the NASA site, but if you provide the full address, I

will make sure that it is the same address that I have checked, because

there are several sites of NASA dealing with Delta Time.

 

 

 

Regarding Yudishthira Era, pl. go through the Introduction by Pandit

Sudhakar Dwivedi to his Sanskrit Bhashya of the Surya Siddhanta and

Panchasiddhantika. He has proved it on the basis of Pauranic details that

Yudishthira Era could not be older than 2000 BCE in any case. There is thus

a lot of confusion about all these eras, including the Kali and Saptarshi

Era.

 

With regards,

 

A K Kaul

Dear Shri Kaul,

 

 

 

I am sure you would have perused the material (on delta T) available on the

NASA site. Considering the uncertainty of delta T and the low confidence

level in the parabolic trend equation published you may be better off using

a trial-and-error approach (using the equation).

 

 

 

Many of us " believe " this is Year 5111 as per Yudhishtira Saka. You may be

able to tabulate possible eclipses around that period, i.e., BCE 3100, using

various delta T values.

 

 

 

Let me know if you need assistance in the research and tabulation.

 

 

 

With best wishes,

 

Tella Puli

Re: Paper on dating of mahabharata war jyotirved

 

 

 

Dear friends,

 

Jai Shri Ram!

 

One of the main pillars of the dates of Mahabharata war is the timing of

consecutive eclipses and also a thirteen day paksha.

 

Surprisingly, it is on the bases of eclipses and thirteen day pakshas alone

that the dates of the " mother of all battles " have been fixed by various

scholars from 1400 BCE to 3300 BCE! All of them have used, almost

invariably, the latest software like Planetariums Gold etc. which is based

on data from NASA/JPL!

 

I have checked quite a few of these dates, but found them to be as confusing

as the wording in which those " articles " have been compiled!

 

As on date, we have records from JPL/NASA of all the eclipses from 3000 BCE

to 3000 AD. Though the eclipse timings are correct to the nearest minute in

those details, however, there is a lot of confusion regarding Delta Time in

the past even in JPL/NASA data.

 

I have, as such, been busy with preparing a program for working out the

dates of geocentric New Moon/Full Moon besides solar as well as lunar

eclipses for any individual place like Kurukshetra, Ayodhya etc. right from

10000 BCE to 12030 AD. It is in Quick Basic as on date but is likely to be

converted to VB6/VB.NET <http://vb.net/> . As soon as it is ready, it will

be available for

free distribution, as usual!

 

However, the main problem is to incorporate the corrections for Delta Time

in the program prior to CE. I have gone through almost all the papers

available on the net about the Delta Time calculations, but would still

appreciate any help from any learned member in resolving the issue.

 

All I can say at this stage is that quite a few dates of Eclipses given by

Prof. B. N. Narahari Achar are not correct since some of the eclipses he has

referred to could not be visible in India, leave alone Kurukshetra etc., by

any stretch of imagination.

 

Jain Shri Ram!
