Not The Date Of Creation Of The World

For convenience, let's assume that The Sun rises exactly at 6 AM and at 12 PM it is right above our heads and sets at exactly 6 PM and exactly at 12 AM it is midnight. If I ask you, "It is 12 AM now. So, when was it mid-day?" The answer is arrived at by subtracting 12 hours and you say, "At 12 PM." Suppose I ask you,"At what time did The Sun set?" You will subtract 6 Hours and say,"At 6 PM". It's not just simple it is annoyingly simple. If we equate the 24000 years that The Sun takes to revolve around The Dual to the 24 Hours of a day then the year AD 499 in which The Ascending Kali Yuga started is "Midnight" or 12 AM. Now, I ask when was it 12 PM or when was "The Dual" right above our heads? The answer is 499-12000 = -11501 or 11502 BC.

Now, I ask,"When did "The Dual" set? You will get the answer by subtracting 499-6000=-5501 or 5502 BC.

Some cultures talk of the date of creation of the world and also place it around 5502 BC {A few years plus or minus.} From what I found, well, it is the date when the Dual set. It is not The Date Of Creation Of The World.

Bhishma

Uttarayana means Winter solstice or December Solstice. It is a very important festival in India especially in the villages because it is the time when crops are harvested. It is referred to as Makara Sankranti because the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Makara or Capricorn. I do not know whether Indians go out of their way to pay respects to Bhishma on the day of Makara Sankranti or on Magha Shukla Ashtami but quite a number of them certainly do think of him.

It is generally assumed that Bhishma dropped his body on the day of Uttarayana and in the lunar month of Magha on the Eighth tithi of the waxing fortnight or Shukla Ashtami. The phrase "Dropping the body" may seem amusing but highly advanced practitioners of yoga leave their body as effortlessly as ordinary mortals leave their clothes before taking a bath. That's why the word "die" or other forms of the word "die" are avoided, though for convenience it is occasionally used. It is said that Bhishma waited for 58 Days for Uttarayana on his bed of arrows with almost all the arrows actually going through him!

The dates below show what I found about Bhishma...

Bhishma was born on Magha Shukla Ashtami

08 Jan. -801
07:06:04.00 {Sunrise} Local Mean Time
I do not know the time of birth so I took the Sunrise Time
Assumed to be Hastinapura
Longitude : 78E01'00"
Latitude : 29N10'00"
05:12 east Of GMT
Bhishma was born on Magha Shukla Ashtami. He did not die on that day.

05 Dec. -744 -- Lunar Eclipse. Three Eclipses within thirty days.
20 Dec. -744 -- Solar Eclipse.
28 Dec. -744 -- Magha Shukla Ashtami, most probably the Pandavas visited Hastinapura to greet and also take the blessings of Bhishma. The interesting point is that it was Bhishma's birthday according to the Lunar Calendar and it is also a day of Uttarayana and Bhishma was Fifty Eight years old on that day.
04 Jan. -743 -- Lunar Eclipse.

22 Mar. -729 -- On Shukla Ashtami Bhishma Drops his body {I'm not sure whether it is Adhika Vaisakha or Vaisakha}. Bhishma was Seventy Two when he dropped his body.

Bhishma was Twenty Three years younger than Veda Vyasa. Veda Vyasa was Ninety Five at the time of The Kurukshetra War.

Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishnaa

According to Srimad Bhagavata written by Veda Vyasa and undoubtedly interpolated by our beloved Brahmins, Sri Krishna was 125 years old when he repeated The Bhagavad Gita lecture to a guy called Uddhava. That's why it is called Uddhava Gita. Sri Krishna died shortly {probably a few months} after this lecture. If he was 125 years when he died and if he died 36 years after The Kurukshetra War as it is generally assumed then He would be 89 years old at the time of war. Is the date of Sri Krishna's birth that I suggested in my older posts wrong?

Now, I should say Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishnaa. No. I am not chanting His name nor am I calling Him to solve this problem. Why do we need the Lord God to solve this problem when a person like me who is no better than a blade of grass can pull it off? That a blade of grass can be turned into the mighty Earth melting Brahmastra is a different matter altogether. He He He.

Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishnaa

There is a Krishna then there is a Krishna then there is a Krishna and then there is a Krishnaa. There are at least 4 persons with the name or epithet of Krishna. The fourth Krishna is not obsessed with numerology to add an unnecessary 'a' after Krishna like some of our celebrities and politicians.

The Sanskrit word Krishna simply means "Dark" or "Black". So, in chronological order, the four Krishnas were

Krishna - Krishna Dwaipayana Vyasa more famously known as Veda Vyasa
Krishna - Sri Krishna
Krishna - Arjuna {Arjuna is supposed to be born a few hours after Sri Krishna} and
Krishnaa - Draupadi

That's why some people refer to Sri Krishna and Arjuna in The Kurukshetra War as "Two Krishnas in one Ratha." The Sanskrit word Ratha means Chariot. I did not learn Sanskrit nor am I willing to. Why should I? Read the Brahminical interpolations first hand? I will not.

If we give the information in the Srimad Bhagavata the benefit of doubt instead of summarily kicking it into the dustbin; then who is the Krishna who was 125 years old? It is Veda Vyasa. If what we are reading in The Mahabharata is true, Veda Vyasa is born decades before Bhishma and died probably a year or two after Sri Krihna's death.

The known and gathered information about Veda Vyasa's birth is that he was born on the full moon day of the month of Aashada. He was born on an island. That's why he was called "Krishna Dwaipayana". The dark one who was born on an island. Dwipa means Island. I think the island referred to here is none other than Dwaraka. The kingdom of Sri Krishna which sunk into sea.

Based on these details the date I suggest for Veda Vyasa's birth is

Date Of Birth : 7 Jun -825 {Julian}
Time Of Birth : 03:53:38 {Military Time} 4:35 East Of GMT
Place Of Birth : Dwaraka 68 E 58' 00" 22 N 14' 00"

I don't know Vedic Astrology. I will not learn astrology without first solving ayanamsha and first point of Aries headache. I hope to solve it before I kick the bucket. I solved the time of birth of Veda Vyasa very simply. Around the time I suggested Pournimasya is at 100%. He He He. I used Jagannatha Hora v.7.6.4.0

Though I did not learn astrology there is a brilliant technique in vedic astrology called Rectification of Birth Time in which the astrologers ascertain the time of birth basing on the incidents that took place in a person's life.
