Drik Siddhanta (Modern Astronomy) vs Surya Siddhanta
You see an image on the left (Drik) and on the right is Surya Siddhanta for the same time just 100 years ago.
Error introduced in Surya Siddhanta: Moon 3 degrees, Sun 1 degree, Merc 6 degrees.
Moon phase off by 1/6th! Why? Image
There is a reason for it.
Let’s look further:
Here is Drik vs Surya Siddhanta for 2021 Feb 27:
You know, even for everyday calculations, Moon phase is off by 0.47% today. That Error accumulates slowly but steadily. ImageImage
Now let’s look at 1000BCE for Surya Siddhanta, see how that error accumulates in Moon phases and planetary positions.
Remember it’s out by 0.47% Moonphase this year wrt observed position on Drik Siddhanta.
Now, 1 full Tithi Error occurs, Mars and Venus off by 6 degrees, Sun 2 deg Image
Disaster unfolds in just 2BCE for Surya Siddhanta. Saturn off by 17degrees. Mars by 5 degrees and Venus by 11 degrees. Mahabharata dating using it is INVALID.

The Home Secretary @pritipatel is absolutely correct when she refers to the word Sewa as (having) Hindu (origin).
It is a Sanskrit word:
If we consider it as a Dhatu then here is the Sanskrit root सेव् (Sev) and it is explained as षेवृँ सेवने which is a Aatmanepadi Dhatu.
If we consider it as a Dhatu then here is the Sanskrit root सेव् (Sev) and it is explained as षेवृँ सेवने which is a Aatmanepadi Dhatu which is Sakarmaka and with भ्वादिः  Gana
👇🏻
It is of course applicable in various tenses and I will expand on that a bit later. Let’s go further
Now, let’s consider the word Sewa from the Kosha point of view:
आपटेसंस्कृताङ्ग्लकोशः is the Dictionary I am quoting. It is a Sanskrit word with
नपुंसकलिङ्गः or Neuter gender. It means and I quote
“The act of serving, service, attendance upon,”

Basic blunders in Astronomy are made in this single post by Shri @NileshOak ji
Mahabharata text specifies that Balarama goes from Pushya Nakshatra and returns on Shravana Nakshatra on war day 18 -Shalya 33:5-6
Shri Oak insists that he goes from Shravana and returns on Pushya- SS2
Thus Team 5561BCE has changed the basic reference in the Mahabharata text. It’s not misinterpretation, they have actually changed the textual reference!
A short film shows more

As astronomers know, a waning phase Moon MUST rise at night.
Here, Drona 161-1 shows that time from Moonrise to sunrise is known as 3/15ths of the night, then the 14th war night Moon CANNOT be a full Moon. It’s late waning phase only, rising around 4/15ths of the night remaining.

The assertion that Kaliyuga arrived on the last day of the war + it is a Pushya Nakshatra is FALSE! It’s completely nonsensical.
There is a reference for the last day of the war which coincides with Balarama’s pilgrimage last day! It is Shravana Nakshatra NOT Pushya.
👇🏻DEBUNKED Image
@JaipurDialogues, when the reference is clearly saying that Balarama’s pilgrimage starts on Pushya Nakshatra, then one MUST take end point as Shravana Nakshatra as the verse says.
BTW, the distance between Pushya and Shravana is 42 days!
WHY?
👇🏻
Did anyone see this next level blunder?
Or is this yet another “conflicting observation”?
👇🏻 Kartika Purnima in war timeline of 5561BCE occurs much before it in the text! FACT!

The Real Moonphase data is in the form of a late night Moonrise in the Mahabharata text after which 3/15th of the night remains when fighting resumes.
Manual Calculation = 14th war night is a Krishna Ekadashi only. Waning crescent!

astronomyofindia.wordpress.com/2021/08/07/cal…
This means that the last war day MUST be an Amavasya and the first war day MUST be S13, Shukla Trayodashi.
These are simple math calculations.
I have allowed <1/15th night extra to elapse from Moonrise taking into account preparation time to fight.
Only 3067BCE replicates this!
Now, we also know that the last war day from afternoon/evening onwards must be Shravana Nakshatra, because that is when Balarama’s pilgrimage return is. This means the first war day must be a Mrigashira Nakshatra.
In fact, even -1 = Rohini Nakshatra for day 1 is difficult.

It is rare to come across a theory like 3067BCE.
While I know how late Dr Achar arrived at this date (intersection of Mars retrograde and Saturn Aldebaran positions), this year is the only year in which the 212+ references have any hope of fitting.
👇🏻
academia.edu/42657451/3067B…
But the question still remains, how did Dr Raghavan, a great professor of Mathematics from Chennai university ever come to 3067BCE?
I think I know how.
I was told that he is connected to Satagopa (in one of my workshops, one of Nammalwar’s descendants is present and agrees)
My surmise is that, 3067BCE, is present in some ancestor record of Nammalwar.
That is the reason, I feel that Dr Raghavan came to this date.
I have tested dozens of dates to see if the references fit the way they should.
Not one other date comes even within 20-30% of 3067BCE.

Surya Siddhanta no doubt shows that Hindu astronomy/trigonometry was one of the earliest to develop but that does not mean that it got things correct….
👇🏻
For eg:
The text treats earth as a stationary globe around which sun, moon and five planets orbit.
The next claim in Surya Siddhanta is that planets have apparent sizes, the same as globes with diameter 37.5 (Saturn), 45 (Mercury) 52.5 (Jupiter) and 60 yojanas (Venus)
👇🏻
We know this to be incorrect as well.
The author (s) obviously derive it in an arithmetic sequence.
Wrong!!
This point was well known to the maker of Jhora software and that’s one of the reasons its put only for research purposes...
When it’s getting so many things wrong..... no point in using it unless one wants to see what mistakes were made by them...
