Details Of Army Strength Mahabharata

Some interesting information on the strength and the calculation of the Armies during the Vedic period is found in the Mahabharata.

There is also the definition of the unit of distance.

The Unit for measuring distance is called 'Yojana'

One Yojana is equal to Eight Miles.

Army strength is calculated on the base Unit of Akshouhini.

One Akshouhini consists of ,

One Chariot,

One Elephant,

Three Cavalry

and Five soldiers constitute One Pathi.

Three Pathis make one 'Sena Mukha'

Three Senamukha is 'Kulma'

Three Kulma make One 'Gana.

Lord Rama’s Death Precedes Krishna’s By 200 Years!

All of us know that the Ramayana tok place in Treta Yuga while Lord Krishna lived in the Dwapara Yuga, which was after 8.64,000 years after Treta Yuga .

Yet cross indexing the various Purans and the Astrological data supported by actual Astronomical phenomena like Rama's Birth chart,Eclipses during Ramayana and Mahabharata forces one to the conclusion that Pord rama's Death preded Lord Krishna's Death only by 200 years.

This, I think is not a contradiction .

The reason is that for the Hindus the Time is Cyclic , not linear.(read my post on this under Astrophysics)

That Time is Cyclic is being proved to day by Astrophysics and Quantum Theory.(refer my posts under Astrophysics).

To put it simply events, ramayana and Mahabharata not excluded happened , happen and will happen all at the same time,albeit at different planes of existence(read my posts under Science, Astrophysics,Hinduism'- Multiverses).

Science is veering down to this view now.

And Astronomical events keep recurring at fixed time scales.
