  • Sri Krishna's birth date is 24 May 5626 B.C according to Dr. Padmakar Vartak's research ( Dr. Vartak is from Pune ; Surgeon and Yogi, did research in Indian History and scriptures ). Planets at time of Sri Krishna's birth were as follows Sun143 degrees, Saturn 64,Rahu 93, Jupiter 100, Mars 337, Venus 82, Uranus 15, Neptune 178, Pluto 296, Moon 48.. Sri Ram's birth date is 4th Dec. 7323 B.C. ! ( As per Santosh Phadnis research - Previous Satya yuga started in 10015 B.C . Next Satya Yuga is due to get establish around 2040/2060 A.D by Sri Kalki (10th Avatar ) He will possibly take birth around years 2003 / 2015 A.D. :-) Please note that month's are different that time ; due to precession of Earth's equinox ( 1 degree in every 72 years ), hence Sravan month used to be in May that time in 5626 B.C and Chaitra used to be in Dec. that time when 7323 B.C was going on !
  • In May 2003 , 5 planets were at their highest positions respectively Sun in Aries, Jupiter in Cancer , Mars in Capricorn , Venus in Pisces and Moon in Taurus. Soon later ; Moon was in Cancer ( which is it's Swarasi , own zodiac ) . ( Uranus was in Aquarius , Neptune in Capricorn ) . So, He ( Sri Vishnu - Kalki ) might have taken birth on Earth on one of those days ? ( Lord Sri Ram had 5 planets in highest positions in His horoscope ; year 7323 B.C on 4th Dec. ) ----------------------------------------------------- Another powerful planet positions are from 16th Apr.to 10 May 2011 Sun in Aries ; Jupiter , Mars, Mercury and Venus are in Pisces , Moon in Taurus/Cancer in May 1st and 2nd week week. Saturn in Virgo ( one rasi before Libra the highest for Saturn ) . Uranus in Pisces and Neptune in Aquarius ! This is more like a greatest yogic combination points towards Lord Shiva's devotee or Himself ? ( In unique dream , Lord Shiva mentioned to me ... ) Note , 16th Aug. to 15th Sep. 2015 have also very powerful planet positions with Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Sun , Mercury , Venus powerful ! - Santosh Phadnis Bangalore, India.
  • PEOPLE TEND TO THINK THAT HINDU OR SANATAN DHARM IS AS OLD AS KING VIKRAM CALENDAR. IT IS FAR TOO OLD AS WE HAD DATES DURING SHREE RAAM'S REIGN. THINK OF CIVILISATION THEN AND A TREMENDOUSLY RICH COUNTRY MATERIALLY AND SPIRITUALLY. PEOPLE IN THE REST OF THE WORLD WERE STILL WILD. SANATAN DHARM IS ABOUT ONE ISHVER AND HIS ANGELS DEVI=DEVTAS.
