‘ Hinduism does not deal in Fiction.It states facts, however improbable it might seem to us.While we are not competent to say what is probable or possible in the scheme of things in the Universe,what we can do is to ascertain verifiable facts mentioned in the Puranas and Ithihasa, Epics of Hinduism.I, after reasonable research , am convinced of the veracity of the verifiable facts in these Texts, with available knowledge we possess, and the technology we have now…Hence I treat the Puranas and Ithihasas as facts as I would a modern-day scientific paper.While the modern-day scientific papers keep changing,for clarity, the facts mentioned in these texts have stood the test of Time, right from the Rig Vedic Period, currently dated at 5000 BC.Some times , while sticks to this view, one comes across some seemingly contradictory facts .For example the death of Lord Rama preceded the Death of Lord Krishna by a mere 200 years, while according to Puranas these two events were separated by thousands of Years.By diligently following the Hindu Texts one can solve these riddles….
The Bhagavata Purana verse 11.6.25 says that Krishna lived for 125 years on earth. The first verse of Mausal Parva, Mahabharata says that Yudhisthira saw bad omens (because of Krishna’s departure from the earth) after 36 years of ruling after they won the Kurukshetra war. So that means Krishna was about 89 years old at the time of war.This corroborates with the view that the age of Kali-yuga started in 3102 BCE, according to Dr. Achar. As stated in the Puranas, Kali-yuga had already begun, but its full influence was held back because of the presence of Lord Krishna. Then when Lord Krishna departed from this world, which is said to have occurred 35 years after the war of Kurukshetra in 3067, making it the year of 3032 BCE, then Kali-yuga began to show more of its effects.According to Puranic sources,Krishna’s disappearance marks the end of Dvapara Yuga and the start of Kali Yuga, which is dated to February 17/18, 3102 BCE.Astronomically simulated Eclipses and Greek Records place the year at 3031 BC.
. According to above time lines Lord Krishna lived for 126 years and 5 months. If we had Gregorian calendar at the time of Lord Krishna’s birth it would had been 23rd June -3227 on Gregorian calendar.DrikPanchang calculations for 23rd June -3227 and 24th June -3227 gives following Panchang data for Mathura location.
Panchang for 19th July 3228 BCE Panchang for 23rd June -3227
Panchang data shows that on 19th July 3228 BCE during Nishita or Hindu midnight both Ashtami Tithi and Rohini Nakshatra were prevailing.
It should be noted that team of DrikPanchang found 19th July 3228 BCE as birth date of Lord Krishna from majority of sources from Internet and our team just ran DrikPanchang software to get Panchang data for this historical day.
We don’t have any proof to corroborate 19th July 3228 BCE as birthday of Lord Krishna but we are sure that 19th July 3228 BCE was Krishna Janmashtami day.
