THE BEGINNING of the Kali Yuga, 3102 BC (evidence) 
Written by SARASWATI SWAMI PRAKASHANANDA
"It 's common knowledge that the kali- yuga began around 5000 years ago (approximately) and We never had problems in the past to accept this fact. Only after the British arrived in India began all kinds of baseless criticism in relation to our history and religion, promoted and fostered by them. "
We took the beginning of Kali-yuga as a reference point for determining the dates chronology of events, who were the kings, dignitaries and important personalities of the Divine history.
We have hundreds of evidence in relation to the date of the Mahabharata War and the beginning of Kali-yuga in our history books, which ended up destroyed by the British, but despite this, we have enough material to fully establish this fact.
1. General
We have three eras: the era of Kali, the Vikram was the era Shak (Shalivahana). Before Vikram era (57 BC) and Shak era (78 BC) there was the era of Kali, who was astrologically determined in 3045 years before the era Vikram. All Acharya, Jagadguru Bharatavarsa and people have accepted this. If there had been some mistake, our Jagadguru indicated they would rather they did not. Hence, the gentlemen should not discuss this point.
2. Astrological
(a) We still follow the ancient tradition of astrology. There is a prestigious magazine with 48 pages of painstakingly detailed dates (a Panchang with all astrological events and their dates called Vishva Panchangam, established in 1925 and published by Vishvavidyalaya Kashi Benares Hindu University, Varanasi). Treats on the three eras: the era of Kali, the Vikram was the era of Shak (Shalivahana). On page 3 says that 5100 years have passed before the year 2056 of Vikram, who is the year 1999. This means that the era of Kali This was dated 5101 in the year 1999 AD, which is then the year 3102 BC (5101-1999)
(b) Another Panchang India called "Shree Saraswati Panchangam" published Navalgarh, Rajasthan, gives us also say that all the calculations have already passed 5100 years of Kali-yuga before the year 1999 and that there are still other 426,900 years. Kali-yuga lasts 432,000 years, so Kali-yuga began in the year 3102 BC Similarly, the best team of scholars all over India in astrology gives us the same date that corresponds to the year 3102 BC, and publish the best Panchang anno.Queste every astrological magazines are headed by a group of the most erudite astrologers in India and is therefore completely inappropriate for any astrologer or student in need will to argue against their accuracy.
( 3) Natural
The existence of the Saraswati river, around the year 3000 BC, is the largest positive reference in respect of a period Vedavyasa, when he wrote the Scriptures. The Bhagavatam mentions the same (fourth) that the river Saraswati, he began writing the Bhagavatam and the Vedas also talk about the river Saraswati.
recent studies on satellite photographs, the analysis of drainage and a belt of land found deep under the ground along the bed of the river Saraswati alleged, are the direct evidence of his esistenza.Gli archaeologists believe may have dried completely around 1800 BC, when the Rajasthan became a desert because of physical changes, as well as the tributaries of the Saraswati changed its course and joined with the river Yamuna and Indus. Surely it must have been a magnificent river before the year 2500 BC The Rig Veda
(2 / 41 / 16, 7/36/6, 7/95/2) describe him as a beautiful river coming down from the hills meet the sea . In Hindu scriptures, the rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati are usually mentioned together because their origin is the Himalayas. It is believed that the Saraswati river is born from the Shivalik hills near Adi Badri, west of the origin of the river Yamuna. Before advancing parallel to the Yamuna, then headed for Rajasthan, where he met the Arabian Sea.
The civilization of Harappa was discovered when an archaeological expedition in India began to excavate the site in 1921, located 100 miles south-east of Lahore, the city of Harappa. Archaeologists believe that the Harappan civilization existed around the year 2500 BC, when it was canceled for unknown reasons. So far, more than 200 sites have been discovered in which were found similar evidence of a civilization. Most of them were found on the east side of the Indus River and near the bed of the river Saraswati is already known, that had its glory around the year 3000 BC
(4) geographical and physical
(a) Man and French scientist George Cuvier was estimated that a disaster took place about 5000 years ago, when a great flood flooded areas that were inhabited by men.
(b) In January 1930, the National Geographic said that for six days and six nights, a hellish rain flooded and destroyed the coastal area of \u200b\u200bIraq.
(c) The same National Geographic, in the August of 1939, said that the Maya began their calendar after a catastrophic event that was made back about 5000 years ago.
(d) Il Bhagavatam dice positivamente lo stesso in molti modi.
Krishna ordina al Suo auriga Daruk di tornare a Dwaraka e dire alla gente: “Dopo che Io avrò lasciato questo pianeta Terra, una feroce inondazione dal mare sommergerà tutta Dwaraka” (SB 11/30/47)
Trent’anni dopo cominciò Kali yuga, nell’ 3072 A.C. Shukadeva Goswami dice al re Parikshit, “Quando Krishna lasciò questo pianeta Terra, immediatamente una inondazione di mare sommerse e distrusse Dwaraka” (SB 11/31/23)
Dovreste sapere che Dwaraka e l’area della costa dell’ Irak sono molto vicine e che la terra della civiltà Maya, il Messico, si trova the same latitude as Dwaraka. Thus, the catastrophic flooding also affected the Mexican navy.
In the National Geographic in January of 1930, in a number titled "New Light on the ancient Ur, it was reported that the excavations around the city Abraham geographical reveal evidence of the biblical story of the flood.
"The exact date of the most recent of which we can lose is the year 3100 BC, the date of the ascension of Mes-Anni-Padda, the first king of the first dynasty of Ur ... The discovery was made in the old cemetery, the place who gave back the light of the most magnificent and ancient treasures, such as the tombs were buried in ancient times, dating back to 3500 A.C.” (Pag.. 109-117)
“Il significato dell’estratto è istantaneamente ovvio. I nostri puliti banchi di argilla furono il deposito che provocò una grande inondazione affondando le primitive civiltà sotto di essa… Non c’erano pepite di oro o tombe reali, solo banchi di argilla di otto piedi di profondità e, sotto di essi, nuovamente appaiono i resti della civiltà più primitiva di Ur.” (Pag. 118)
“E’ vero, fu un antico e locale Hood in un senso, però esiste molta ragione per credere che fu molto più di questo… Una inondazione che poi arrivò ad interessare tutto il mondo.”(Pag. 118)
“Riassumiamo ciò che sappiamo about this. First, the remains under the filing of the flood are the oldest and deepest ever found in Ur. This is evidenced by the amount of land obtained from the surface indicates that the age of the remains. Second, the particular type of civilization destroyed by the flood did not reappear again. Third, over the remains of the flood was established a new people, the Sumerians, who soon learned to write and their most ancient legends speak of a great flood. The flooding, which they describe later became tradition and finally crystallized in the writings of Genesis "(p. 119)
" We quote extracts of a delle più antiche tavole scritte dai babilonesi nella scrittura cuneiforme (a forma di cuneo). Ut-Napishtim, il Noé sumero, racconta le sue avventure all’interno dell’arca: sei giorni e sei notti, vento da uragano, pioggia come diluvio e tormenta sopra la terra. Al settimo giorno la tormenta cessò.” (Pag. 120)
Nel National Geographic di Agosto del 1939, nell’articolo intitolato: “Alla scoperta del lavoro più antico dell’uomo nel Nuovo Mondo” si dice:”Il calendario Maya, come il nostro, indica date e periodi ottenuti da un punto specifico del passato…Così come noi cominciamo il nostro calendario dalla nascita di Cristo, i Maya cominciano il loro dalla data 4 Ahau 8 Cumhu, circa 5000 fa, data nella quale deve essere successo un evento di tremendo significato per loro nella loro storia mitologica” (Pag. 214,216)
5) Iscrizioni
(a) La famosa iscrizione Aihole del glorioso Chalulaya re Pulkeshi II del secolo settimo dice:”3735 (30+3000+700+5) anni sono già passati nel kali-yuga dopo la guerra Mahabharata, e 556 (50+6+500) anni dell’era Shalivahan nei quali ci troviamo ora (nella data della realizzazione dell’iscrizione)” L’iscrizione dice che 3735 anni di kali-yuga sono già passati. Significa che l’anno 3736 di kali-yuga era il 556 D.C. dell’era Shak, which ended in 556 +78 = 634 DCPertanto, removing 634 to 3736 gives us 3102 BC
(b) Trays Copper Nidhanpur of Bhaskaravarman were recorded around the sixth century AD, as is mentioned in " Epigraphic Indica, Volume XII, Calcutta (1913-14) on pages 65-79. It says in verse 7 that after Vajradatt (who was the son of Bhagdatta, the Mahabharata war), his descendants ruled for 3000 years, then became king Pushyavarman. After 12 generations, Bhaskaravarman became king and ordered to make the trays of copper. Therefore, considering the Essor and omissions dynastic records, if we add approximately 400 years for 12 generations to 3000 years to 1500 years (the time elapsed since the manufacture of copper trays) we get approximately 5000 years.
(6) Scriptures and other
(a) Bhavishya Purana. Vikram Era was started in 57 BC by Vikramaditya the Great in commemoration of his victory over Shak. There is a large amount of literature on Vikramaditya, and in the Bhavishya Purana itself there are descriptions of Vikramaditya in more than 40 chapters Pratisarg Parv between I and IV. He was a divine personality who descended. Its capital was Ujjain, and there the Mahakaleshwar temple is very famous. Bhavishya Purana (Pratisarg Parv I, ch. 7) says that: "After a period of 3000 years in kali-yuga (3102-3000 = 102 BC), a dynamic divine personality was born and his name was Vikramaditya. He was very intelligent and loved his parents. When she was age 5, went into the jungle to worship God. He then went aUjjain, I love Mahakaleshwar and established an elegant sanctuary. "
The Bhavishya Purana, later said:" The great King Vikramaditya ruled for 100 years. Then, his figlioDeobhakt ruled for 10 years and his nephew Shalivahana, who established the era of Shalivahana (78 in DC), defeated the Shak and ruled for 60 years. "Vikramaditya Prama belonged to the dynasty in which the birth took another powerful king , Bhojraj, who lived 11 generations after Shalivahana. The dynasty (PRAM ending Ganga Singh) is described in chapter IV of Pratisarg Parva.
According to these descriptions Vikramaditya lived for 117 (5 +12 +100), from 102 BC to 15 AD
One can logically conclude that Vikramaditya should have had 45 years when he defeated completely Shak. According to Bhavishya Purana, he was born in the year 3000 the era of Kali, and established his Vikram year 3045 was the same era (3000 +45). Vikram Era begins in 57 BC Thus, the beginning of the era of kali is: 3045 +57 = 3102
In the first centuries BC, the era Vikram, or Vikram Samvat, era chiamata Krit Samvat o Malvesh Samvat. Più tardi, durante il secolo VIII, venne chiamata Vikram Samvat. I tre nomi designano la stessa cosa. Krit significa “il pio” perché lui fu un re molto religioso, e Malvesh significa “il re dello stato di Malva” (del quale egli, sicuramente,lo era).
(b) Il “Jyotirvidabharnam” di Kalidas dice, nel suo primo capitolo, che l’era Vikram comincia alla fine dell’anno 3044 dell’era di kali (agni 3, ambar 0, yuga 4 e veda 4=3,0,4,4). Pertanto, l’anno 3045 dell’era di kali segna l’inizio dell’era Vikram, nell’anno 57 A.C. Così, l’inizio of Kali-yuga is established in the year 3102 BC (3045 +57)
Kalidas, the great poet, writer and literary figure of his time, living a pure life and sincerely devoted to his studio work, was one of the new gems the court of King Vikram. Because of its great literary and poetic work, was called mahakavi. At the end of
Jyotirvidabharnam, Mahakavi Kalidas mentions the exact date of his writing in the year 3067 and says that the era of Kali had begun to write this book. This means that he wrote this book when they were already past 3067 years of Kali Yuga. This is the year 35 BC (3102-3067 = 35), which is after the beginning of Vikram era. Thus, Vikramaditya was born in the year 102 BC (3102-3000) established his "era" in the year 57 BC and left this planet Earth in the year 15 AD
(c) Alberuni. "India's Alberuni" the first edition of India 1964 (S. Chand & Co., Nueva Delhi), Volume I. In the second part of this book, on page 4, Alberuni writes, "... the time that has passed since the beginning of kali yuga to our current year was 4132 years between the wars and Bharata and our current year have passed 3479 years. "In his" Notes "(page 358) of the same book, Alberuni explains about his year current, which is: "1031 DC, February 25, a Thursday."
There is a difference of 968 years between the year 1031 and year 1999 DC DC so adding 968 years to 4132 years, you get 5100, the period that has already elapsed since the beginning of kali yuga to date (1999), and this is exactly what is mentioned in astrological magazines in India.
Alberuni also talks about Vikram era (57 BC) and the era Shalivahana Shak, which began 135 years after it was Vikram.
(d) Aryabhatta. The greatest astronomer and mathematician, Aryabhatta, was born in the year 476 AD His work in Astronomy is a valuable contribution to scholars. He gave an exact value for pi (n) = 3.1416. He finished his book "Aryabhattiya" in the year 499 AD, which is the exact year of the beginning of kali yuga. He writes: "When the three Yuga (Satya Yuga, Treta yuga yuga and Dwapara) have passed, when they have already spent 60 x 60 (3600) years of kali yuga, I reached the age of 23 years."
This means that in 3601 the era of Kali, he had 23 years of age. Aryabhatta was born in the year 476 AD Therefore, the beginning of kali yuga is to be: 3601 - (476 +23) = 3102 AC
There is also the dynastic history of Nepal, which speaks of the Mahabharata war.
We have thus sufficient evidence to establish the fact that Kali-yuga began in the year 3102 BC to Hastinapura Yudhishthira ruled for 36 years and 8 months. The Mahabharata war took place in the year 3139 BC, when Bhagavan Krishna left the planet Earth and ascended to His Divine Abode, immédiatement kali-yuga began with rain and storms and catastrophic flooding, which lasted 7 days, flooded and completely destroyed the city of Dwaraka. This catastrophe (which was made in the West as the flood myth of Noah), was also recorded by the ancient people of Babylon and Ur in ancient records called Maya. The dates of both are the same.
The exact dates of uninterrupted histories of all the Hindu king of the 4 dynasties that ruled Hastinapura (up to Vikramaditya) from the reign of Yudhishthira, prove more powerful and can be understood by all, wise or not. Thus we can say scientifically that the war of Mahabharata was about 5000 years ago, in the year 3139 AC

The four deficiencies are not common in these great souls. These failures are an illusion, that means looking at something real that it is not, the inconvenience or instability of the mind, the imperfection of the senses, for example, the concept of speciesism, el'abituale tendency to deceive, which consists of 'There are you know something when in truth it is not. The great souls who are well versed in the highest truth and possess knowledge of the Scriptures are clear of these four deficiencies.
