3228 BC – Descension of Bhagwan Krishn
According to the “Surya Siddhant” the astrologers have calculated that
kaliyug started on the afternoon of 17th February, 3102 BC. In the
Bhagwatam, Brahma tells in round figures that Krishn remained on this
earth planet for 125 years
Accordingly, if 125 years is added to
February, 3102, it comes to February 3227 BC. But Krishn’s descension
was in the Rohini nakcÝhatra (asterism) of the 8th waning moon midnight
of bhadon (August) which is about seven months earlier. Thus, His
descension date is 3228 BC and He stayed on the earth planet for 125
years and about 7 months.
3139 BC – The Mahabharat War
The
Pandavas, after winning the Mahabharat war, ruled for 36 years and 8
months until the start of kaliyug in 3102 BC. Accordingly, the date of
Mahabharat war comes to 3139 BC.
3102 BC – Beginning of Kaliyug
The famous Aihole inscription of glorious Chalulaya King Pulkeshi II of the 7th century says,
It means, “3,735 (30 + 3,000 + 700 + 5) years have already elapsed in kaliyug
after the Mahabharat war, and 556 (50 + 6 + 500) years of Shalivahan
era is running (on this date of engraving this inscription).” The
inscription says that 3,735 years of kaliyug had already elapsed. It
means the 3,736th year of Kali era was running in the Shak era 556 AD
which was 556 + 78 = 634 AD. Thus, deducting 634 from 3,736 comes to
3102 BC. (For more evidences read Mahabharat - 3139 BC).
3139–83 BC - The Magadh Dynasties
The authority of the Bhagwatam is taken to determine the dates of the
dynasties of the kings of Magadh up to the Andhra dynasty. There were
nine dynasties that ruled Magadh after the Mahabharat war (3139 BC).
They were: 21 kings in Brihadrath dynasty (1,000 years), 5 in Pradyot
(138 years), 10 in Shishunag (360 years), one King Mahapadm Nand along
with his 8 sons (100 years), 10 Maurya (137 years), 10 Shung and 4 Kanva
(457 years), and 30 kings of Andhra dynasty for 456 years (Bhagwatam
9/22/46-49, 12/1/1-28). The ninth one is Gupt dynasty. There were seven
kings in the Gupt dynasty with total reigning period of 245 years
(Kaliyug Rajvrittant, Bhavishyottar Puran).
The reigning period of
10 Maurya kings, shown only for 137 years, appears to be much less as
compared to the reigning period of the other kings of Magadh. Apart from
the Mauryas, 81 kings in the other seven dynasties ruled for 2,511
years which give an average of 31 years per king. It appears to be a
copying mistake while writing the period of Maurya dynasty. Probably,
instead of 317 it was mistakenly written as 137, because the Kaliyug
Rajvrittant gives the figure of 316 years for 10 Maurya kings. However,
300 years in round figures for the Maurya dynasty has been taken.
1894–1814 BC – Gautam Buddh
According to the Buddhist records, Gautam Buddh was already 72 years
old at the time of Ajatshatnu’s coronation; it means that he was in his
73rd year at that time. Shishunag dynasty’s period is 2001 BC to 1641
BC. The first five kings of Shishunag dynasty, Shishunag to Bindusar,
ruled for (40+36+26+40+38) 180 years. Then Ajatshatnu became the king
and ruled for 27 years. Accordingly, 2001 BC (-) 180 = 1821 BC is the
coronation year of Ajatshatnu. Adding 73 years (the existing age of
Gautam Buddh at that time) to 1821 BC comes to 1894 BC. Thus, the date
of birth of Gautam Buddh is 1894 BC and his nirvan year is (1894-80)
1814 BC. He was born on Vaishakh full moon day which is March/April.
1541–1507 BC – Chandragupt Maurya
Magadh was the fourth dynasty after the Mahabharat war (3139 BC).
Chandragupt Maurya was the first king of the Maurya dynasty. His
mother’s name was Mur, so he was called Maurya in Sanskrit which means
the son of Mur, and thus, his dynasty was called Maurya dynasty. A
pious, learned and determined brahman, Chanakya, also known as Kautilya,
who didn’t have a pleasant appearance but had an intelligent brain,
managed to terminate the existing King Mahapadm Nand and his eight sons
and made Chandragupt the King of Magadh who was also the legitimate heir
of the throne. The total period of the four dynasties including the
Nand dynasty after the Mahabharat war is 1,598 years (1,000 + 138 + 360 +
100). Thus, the coronation date of Chandragupt Maurya comes to 3139 -
1598 = 1541 BC. Chandragupt Maurya ruled for 34 years (1541-1507 BC),
his son Bindusar ruled 28 years (1507-1479 BC) and his grandson
Ashokvardhan ruled for 36 years (1479-1443 BC).
509–477 BC – Jagadguru Shankaracharya
The most efficient documentary evidence of Shankaracharya’s period is
the carefully preserved date-wise list of all the succeeding
Shankaracharyas who sat on that religious throne which was established
by Adi (the original) Shankaracharya thousands of years ago; and that
list goes back up to 477 BC. Adi Shankaracharya lived only 32 years so
his birth date is 477 + 32 = 509 BC. He had established four maths.
(Math is a religious throne, which is used as a center for propagating
dharm, and whoever sits on that throne, holds the title of
Shankaracharya.) In his last days, Adi Shankaracharya lived in Kanchi
Kamkoti so it is also considered as a math. Dwarika Sharda Math and
Kanchi Kamkoti Math both have the complete date-wise record of all the
succeeding Shankaracharyas for the last 2,500 years, but the records of
Kanchi Math are more detailed.Shankaracharya, after establishing the
four maths and spreading the greatness of Sanatan Dharm, came back to
South India and, for the last four to six years of his life, he lived in
Kanchi Kamkoti. Thus, Kanchi Kamkoti is also called the fifth math.
Thus, according to the records of Kanchi Kamkoti Math, Adi
Shankaracharya was born on 2593 Kali era and left this earth planet on
2625 Kali era which comes to (3102 - 2593) 509 BC and (3102 - 2625) 477
BC.
328–83 BC – Gupt Dynasty
The Gupt dynasty was the
ninth Magadh dynasty. There were seven kings in the Gupt dynasty: (1)
Chandragupt Vijayaditya (ruling period 7 years), (2) Samudragupt
Ashokaditya Priyadarshin or Ashok the Great (51 years), (3) Chandragupt
II Vikramaditya (36 years), (4) Kumargupt Mahendraditya (42 years), (5)
Skandgupt Parakramaditya (25 years), (6) Nrasinghgupt Baladitya (40
years) and (7) Kumargupt II Vikramaditya (44 years). The total reigning
period was 245 years. After the downfall of Gupt dynasty the kingship of
Magadh ended and it went under the subordination of Vikramaditya of
Ujjain (Malva).
102 BC–15 AD – Vikramaditya and Start of Vikram era in 57 BC
Vikram era started in 57 BC by Vikramaditya the Great as a
commemoration of his victory upon the Shaks. There is plentiful
literature on Vikramaditya, and in the Bhavishya Puran itself there are
descriptions of Vikramaditya in more than 40 chapters between Pratisarg
Parv I and IV. Pratisarg Parv IV, chapter 1 of Bhavishya Puran says that
after the elapse of a full 3,000 years in kaliyug (3102 - 3000 = 102
BC), a dynamic Divine personality was born who was named Vikramaditya.
Bhavishya Puran further says that the great King Vikramaditya ruled for
one hundred years. When he was only five years old he went into the
jungles to worship God. After twelve years, when he came out, God Shiv
sent for him a celestial golden throne which was decorated with
thirty-two statues. According to the above descriptions Vikramaditya
lived for (5 years + 12 years + 100 years) 117 years (102 BC - 15
AD).Kalidas, the greatest poet, writer and the literary figure of his
time, living a pious life and sincerely devoted to his scholarly work,
was one of the nine gems of King Vikram’s court. The “Jyotirvidabharnam”
by Kalidas tells in its first chapter
that Vikram era started at
the elapse of (agni 3, ambar 0, yug 4 and ved 4 = 3,0,4,4) 3,044 years
of kaliyug. Thus, the 3,045th year of kaliyug was the beginning of
Vikram era which is 57 BC. At the end of Jyotirvidabharnam, Mahakavi
Kalidas mentions the exact date of his writing and says that
in the
Kali era 3067 he had started to write this book. It means, he wrote
that book when 3,067 years of kaliyug had passed. That comes to 35 BC
(3102 - 3067 = 35), which is after the beginning of Vikram era.Thus,
Vikramaditya was born in 102 BC (3102-3000), established his ‘era’ in 57
BC and left this earth planet in 15 AD.
25–85 AD – Shalivahan and Start of Shalivahan Shak era in 78 AD
Detail of the kings of Pramar dynasty up to King Bhojraj as given in
the Bhavishya Puran (Pratisarg Parv IV chapter one) states Vikramaditya,
son of Gandharv Sen, reigned up to 15 AD. Vikramaditya’s son Deobhakt
ruled from 15-25 AD and his grandson, Shalivahan, ruled from 25-85 AD.
Shalivahan established his era in 78 AD. It is called the Shalivahan
Shak era.
