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.
