Mahabharata Quiz - 116

 

Question – 116

Were all the proxy features for identifying a cosmic impact mentioned in the Mahabharata?

Answer:

There are about 8 major proxy features for identifying a cosmic impact. Of them the three must-be-present proxies are,

1. the loss of iron oxide from the meteor (normally shrinks by 90%) and the rest only hits the floor.

2. the loss of titanium from the meteor. Both can be best identified in time series of peat moss (because of exact dating of horizons with 14-C)

3. abundant release of NO2 (nitrogen dioxide) in the atmosphere. The reddish-brown color of this gas causes the water bodies and the rainwater to turn red. This is recognized as ‘rain of blood’ or ‘rivers flowing with blood’ by the people.

All these are detected in the data available for the impact of 3136 BCE. Any object entering from space produces NOx. For example, a falling satellite back onto the earth produces 7 tons of NOx. The Hastinapura event also produced NOx, expressed in many ways as rain of blood, river of blood, vomit of blood, blood in the mouth, in the body etc., explained as nimitta-s.

Hi Mrs. Saranathan,

I was trying to understand a few things. you claim 3101 BCE is the start date. Why not 3102 BCE?

I used 3102 BCE as reference from Surya Siddhantha. Since the year is an ordinal unit like day, I marked 3102 BCE as year 1. After all, even Hindu panchangam always refer to first day of the month as 1 Chaitra, not 0 Chaitra. Since there was no year 0, my formula went like this:

3102 BCE: Year 1
3002 BCE: Year 101
2 BCE: Year 3101
1 BCE: Year 3102
1 AD: Year 3103
2 AD: Year 3104
3 AD: Year 3105
4 AD: Year 3106
5 AD: Year 3107
6 AD: Year 3108
7 AD: Year 3109
8 AD: Year 3110
2008 AD: Year 5110
2018 AD: Year 5120
2023 AD: Year 5125

Please let me know if there is anything wrong with this as I am eager to learn.

@Aadikeshava Reddy,

How is the first year of Kali Yuga determined?
It started 3179 years before the beginning of Shalivahana Shaka in 78 CE.
By deducting 78 from 3179 we get 3101.
This gives the year 3101 BCE.
In this calculation the beginning of 78 is taken. So this gives only the completed years until then.

Kali Yuga began on Chitthirai (solar year of mesha) in 3101 BCE.
It is the 1st year.
On Chiththirai 3100 BCE - Kali 1 year over, and the 2nd year started running.
On Chitthirai 3099 BCE - Kali 2 years over, and the 3rd year started running.
In this way
on Chitthirai 3001 BCE - Kali 100 years over, and the 101st year started running.
On Chiththirai 2 BCE - Kali 3,099 years over, and the 3,100th year started running.
On Chitthirai 1 BCE - Kali 3,100 years over, and the 3,101st year started running.
On Chiththirai 0 year - Raudra year was running, 3101 Kali years were over and 3102nd year was running.
On Chiththirai 1 CE - kali 3102 years were over, and 3103rd year started running.
In this way,
on Chiththirai 2023 CE - Kali 5124 years were over, and 5125th year started running.
Panchangas show the running year.
This year will be over on Chiththirai 2024 only.

Why 3102 BCE is wrong?
Check Question No 22
https://jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.com/2023/08/mahabharata-quiz-22.html
and Question no 23 on how Indologists made the mistake.

For further corroboration if you need, read my book 'Why killed Aditya Karikala?' The book is available on kindle. Several inscriptions were solved in that book. Their dates are based on 3101 BCE Kali beginning only.

I appreciate your work, but I am convinced you made an error on this. I looked at all of your questions 20-23, and I noticed that the astrology screenshot had -3101. This is equivalent to 3102 BCE, because this assumes year 0 as 1 BCE. Another thing, by subtracting 3179 years before 78 CE, you included year 0 when you were supposed to skip over it especially for both Julian and Gregorian calendars. Just my opinion on this.

Here is my calculations. Besides staying true to Kali Yuga, I stayed true to Julian / Gregorian calendars as well. I noticed that while subtracting 3179 years before 78 AD, you may have included year 0. When we are trying to find the Kali Yuga date and match it to the Christian calendar, you have to ignore 0. I also did read your posts from questions 20 to 23, and I have noticed that for the screenshot of the astro software, you may have misinterpreted the date as -3101 in astro software actually means 3102 BCE. But yes, you are right about the date being 23 January.

@Aadikeshava Reddy,

What you say is as per the redundant concept of western time keeping.
Even the recently introduced Astronomical convention includes 0 year but makes 2nd BCE as -1
https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEhelp/dates.html

What I am saying is the Indic system of Time keeping which is far advanced than any astronomical system by including 0 year. That year was 'Raudra'. There is no BC and CE. There is continuous counting by means of year names.

All these were mentioned by me in my previous reply.

But still you stick to your redundant stance.

Please learn that astronomy simulations and conventions do not apply to Indic Time of Kali Yuga.

I used astrology simulator which incorporates 0 year.
Without 0 year, Kali yuga dates will go awry if you start finding out the date of inscriptions.

You cannot simply match 3102 BCE with Indic features such as year name, solar moth tithi etc. The astrology calendar is different. For the Indic dates we simply give the Gregorian year number. That is all.

To know why astronomy simulations do not apply to Indic events, read the 1st chapter of my Mahabharata book.

To know for yourself that 0 year is incorporated in astrology simulations, download Jhora and check 0 year.

To know how to use the astrology simulator to date an inscription read my book on Aditya karikala. This kind of dating is applied to us till date in our Time keeping.

Don't bring any more of the same stuff on Time saying that Kali Yuga started in 3102 BCE.

Search my website for the series of articles on the same topic.

Aadikeshava Reddy said...

Anyways, here is some comments:

"Attention!You entered the year -3101. Please use astronomical rather than historical year numbers. The astronomical year -3101 corresponds to the historical year 3102 BCE."

"Attention!You entered the year 0. Please use astronomical rather than historical year numbers. The astronomical year 0 corresponds to the historical year 1 BCE."

If you refuse to change your mind on this, I do not need to argue with you anymore on this.

As a wise man once said, you cannot win both Lakshmidevi and Saraswathidevi.

Signing off.

It is no use telling an unwise man that the Indic historic calendar system with its own date features is different from what astronomy simulators produce.
You better sign off than wasting my time here.
