Mahabharata Quiz - 92

Click here for the previous question

Question – 92

By the occurrence of Full moon in Krittika for two consecutive months, a lunar month is lost, and the solar days also will lose sync with the pre-existing star-tithi alignment. If this is true, this will be reflected in the tithi- star – solar position today. What evidence do we have?

Answer:

Popular evidence are in the mismatch of Rama’s and Krishna’s birth date which occurred before the comet hit. In contrast the events of post 3136 BCE can be seen to match. For example, the date of burning of Madurai having all the Panchanga features will match as it happened in the post comet-hit period. It was proved in this article. In fact the solar month, tithi and star will combine often within a century.

But the combination of Krishna’s birth (Simha as solar month, Krishna Ashtami at the time of moon rise which is past 12-30 at night and Rohini nakshatra) will never coincide.

Similarly, the combination of Rama’s birth (Mesha as solar month, Shukla Navami and Punarvasu nakshatra) will never coincide.

People must be aware of a minimum of two dates of Krishna’s birth day, one coming in the previous solar month of Kataka when Krishna Ashtami joins Rohini past midnight or Simha month when the tithi and star do not coincide.

Similarly, for Rama’s birth date, Shukla Navami and Punarvasu will join at noon in Meena month and not in Mesha as was during Rama’s birth. Only Srirangam temple sticks to Mesha month and celebrates the birth date of Rama on Punarvasu which doesn’t join with Navami.

The advancement of the sun when two lunar months occurred in the same star (Krittika) has caused this discrepancy. Let me explain this in Rama Navami which is easy to understand since we have the birth details of Rama in Valmiki Ramayana.

The sun moves one degree a day. A star is 13 degrees and 20 minutes long. So, the sun travels past a star in 13 and a half days. When the sun and the moon meet in the same star, that day is Amavasya. From the next day onwards, the waxing phase is counted as Pratipat, Dwitiya, Triya and so on. On each of these tithi-s, a star will be crossed by the moon.

Now we know that Rama was born on waxing Navami when Punarvasu was crossed by the moon. Navami is the 9th tithi. Counted backward from that Navami+ Punarvasu, the Pratipat is on Uttrabhadrapada (Uttrattadhi). This means Amavasya is on the previous day, that is, on Purvabhadrapada. It also means the Sun is on Purvabhdrapada.

Since the sun takes 13 and a half days to cross a star, it can come to Uttarabhadrapada or even Revati, by the time the moon moves to Punarvasu. At this time the sun is still in Meena and not in Mesha which is the requirement for Rama’s birth time position.

Why did this happen when Valmiki says that the Sun was in Mesha?

Since the sun can never be in Mesha at the time of moon in Navami + Punarvasu, anti-Hindu scholars are dismissing Ramayana as a myth.

But think of the change in the tithi- star alignment and the sun having moved past at least by 13 days / degrees which is unaccounted for. The simulations or calculations are done by extrapolation from the present alignment. So, it will show the present and altered alignment to the period before 3136 BCE. Either you get the tithi- star alignment in the previous month with the Sun in the previous month or not get the tithi- star alignment with the sun’s position aligned.

In contrast, you can check the date of burning of Madurai where the solar month, tithi, star, time and even the weekday match very well.

So, only when we establish the loss of tithi in the Mahabharata period, can we prove that the Ramayana date is not false but altered due to loss of tithi and solar days.

The Ramayana date and Kannagi burning Madurai date are excellent proofs for the changed tithi during the Mahabharata period.
