ASK ME WHY? Series 1
My dear friends and likeminded persons
I am placing before you some thought provoking ideas which may help us to find out what we were and what exactly are the historical facts. A person who desires to study these should never have a one sided approach nor should be biased. A clear understanding of the facts and respect to the history and hidden facts shall enable all of us what exactly the matters are, and how they are presented by some, for their own reasons. I find Indian Intellectual capacities are under estimated, the peace loving people of India and the great sages of India have done lot of research. Unfortunately, the facts are suppressed and a kind of hatred is developed against India, may be, against Hinduism in particular. Now let us go ahead into the topic.
This page is going the limits I principally agreed upon not to exceed a page for many reasons. And let us go through the contents cool and with all calmness.
When we got a fossil in the Narmada belt of India recently (may be fifteen days), the world and particularly the scientists confirmed that it is the first ever fossil dated back to at least 50000 years of what has been researched (the research as it appears went back to more than 6 lakhs of years as per paper report which means the fossil now found is more than 6 lakhs fifty thousand years old). This means the thinking is changing depending on the available resources and new things unearthed and it is surely an ongoing process and all of us have accepted it. Just because we could not find any evidence today for any Sanskrit script that does not mean that we disown the history and look at Indian History as a simple myth.
I consider logic is the foremost subject even to the Science and without any logical or, say, conclusions with reason, science cannot afford making out any progress. Which means logic is the base subject. When this is accepted, let us go logically to find out the truth and only truth. The first and foremost point on which we may pay attention is calculation of calendar and time. In a topic “how did the calendar begin?” a book in USA specified that initially Egyptians measured a year with the moon when river Nile flooded. The same paper says that no one knew that there were 365 days in a year or so and in the year 1582 AD Pope Gregory XIII decided to reset the calendar and as such from then on it is considered as a Gregorian Calendar and the world is now following the same.
No dispute about all this and we are all following the same and it has brought out a global uniformity and it is most welcome.
Now my point is that when I look at Shri Bhagawat Katha, the first chapter to third chapter has detailed something about the time calculation. I really do not know as to why this was overlooked by the historians. This minute calculation is no where existent on the earth other than in India and it is a great work of Indian Sages and dated back to much much earlier compared to the existing calendar and this is surely beyond the imagination of any scientist now or of earlier times.
A year is divided into two parts as two Aayanaas basing on the movement of Sun Lord; each year is divided into six Ritus(seasons); each Ritu into two months; each month into 30 days (basing on the ascending and descending order of the Sun and Moon) and a month sub-divided into two fortnights; each fortnight into two weeks; each week into 7 days; each day into two parts as day and night; each part into four Jhamus and each Jhamu has three Muhurats; each muhurat into two nadis; each nadi into fifteen laghuvu; each laghu into ten kaashtas;(UPTO THIS LEVEL OK AND AS PER OUR PRESENT TIME CALCULATION WE HAVE REACHED A BOTTOM LEVEL OF 12 SECONDS TILL NOW AND FROM HERE) each kaashta into five kshanaas; each kshnaa into three minutes; each minute into three lavams; each lavam into three vedhas; each vedha into one hundred tritis; each triti into trasa renu; each trasa renu into three anus; and each anu into two paramaanu. Don’t YOU believe it? you have to believe it. This much exercise has never been done by any one known and unknown so far on this Holy Earth.
Then how come someone claim that they have calculated the calendar first when they cannot even imagine and calculate even today beyond the scope of a second. The mathematical and time calculations of ancient India was so perfect that not a fraction of a second is left out. That means time measurement to a fraction of second has first ever been done by Indians and no one else. Please believe it or take a pen and paper to calculate what the aforementioned says. Perhaps human brain may not go to the depth of the calculation as it stands and not even a calculator.
LOGIC BEHIND THIS: - The time calculation was initially initiated by only Indians and in case this started by Egyptians this would not have stuck at 1582 with a confusion of ten days or so when Pope Gregory rescheduled the time machine into the present system. For all reasons, Bhagawat Katha is earlier to the period of Pope Gregory and this time calculation was neither copied from Egypt since this is entirely a different calculation beyond the scope of present day time calculation.
Let us also see the other side, Egyptians calculated the time by 1582 or so but then they were not aware of the minutest calculation brought out by Indians which means minute calculation was possible only for Indians. The historians should accept this, if this logic is correct, let us all accept and arrange for a acceptable change in the text book syllabus which is now being pumped into the little brains of youngsters who are surely mislead and carried a misconception on India and on the greatness of India.
Let us not damage the intellectual capacities though the invaders have damaged the country greatly and make all the historical monuments disappear from the screen and thrown us into defense. There is nothing wrong to accept the greatness of any country or any region whoever has done exceedingly well. All of us should be courageous to accept the truths, as much as, all of us accepted the Gregorian calendar with great respect, though it has surely caused damage to Indian Ancient Calendar System and associated traditional system.
Learned people on this subject may further explain all of us (including me) if they know anything further on this subject. Now let us go how week days are named in Ancient India and who did this, in the next series.And, of course, we will surely focus on some points like who invented which country and so on.
Yours affly
