Major Events of Historical Mahabharat with Timelines
Indians are taught since childhood that Mahabharat and Ramayan are mythologies which is complete lie based on distorted thoughts fabricated by brits to demean culture of Bharat and Hinduism. However, the date and time of Mahabharat is so accurate (based on perfect constellations, movement of celestial planets) that it puts bible and koran to shame, on the contrary, these recent books seem to be the act of fictional writers, as exact birth dates of its founders jesus and mohammed is still not found by their followers – In one religion they know only birth date in other cult they consider different years of birth.
Hindus should be proud of themselves while calling Ramayan and Mahabharat as historical incidents and not mythologies because characters of Ramayan and Mahabharat were not fictional, they existed and there are several monumental proofs to support this fact.
Let us discuss on dates and timelines of major events that occurred during end of Dwapar Yug.
Based on the astrological information provided by Ved Vyas (Position of the stars etc),
Mahabharat war was estimated to have started on 3067B.C. on 22nd November.
On the day of the war, the astrological positions of the Sun, Moon, Rahu, Saturn, Guru, Mangala and Sukra planets have been described by Vyas. By looking at the position based on Panchangam, Indian Calendar, and matching with the position of the stars described by Vyas and comparing with the Julian Calendar, one can arrive at the precise dates for the war. Furthermore all other related incidents that took place before and after the war were described in Mahabharat, and the dates for these can be precisely matched with the Julian calendar, as further established below.
To make it comprehensible for readers, the dates are represented in Julian calendar.
Shri Krishna made a last minute effort to make peace but failed. He left the Upaplavya city (Matsya Kingdom ruled by king Virata) on Kaartika Shuddha Dvadasi day in Revati Nakshatra (star) between 7:36 – 8:24AM. He reached Hastinapur in Bharani Nakshatra, and had discussions with the Kouravas till Pushyami Nakshatra. The day Duryodhana rejected the peace proposal was Krishna Panchami. Krishna left Hastinapur, and had consultations with Karna before he departed. (He revealed to Karna that he was the eldest son of Kunti) on Uttara Palghuni day. Krishna informed Karna that Duryodhana must get ready to fight, seventh day from that day, which will be Amaavasya day (New-moon day) with Jyeshta Nakshatra. Krishna returned to Upaplavya city on Chitta Nakshatra. Three days after that on Anuradha Nakshatra Balarama came to Upaplavya. Next Pushya Nakshtra day Pandavas left with Krishna to Kurukshetra.

Fifteen days after return from Upaplavya city, Balarama left on Punarvasu Nakshatra on the tour of sacred places. (Balarama did not want to participate in the war that involved cousins on both sides). He returned to Kurukshetra after forty-two days in the Shravana Nakshatra. The war already started eighteen days back. On the nineteenth day, Bahula Caturdashi day on Shravana Nakshatra, Duryodhana died. It was the fifty-ninth day after Amaavasya with Jyeshta Nakshatra.
Krishana returned from Hastinapur after his unsuccessful peace mission on Uttara Palghuna day. Starting from that day, the seventh day is New-moon day (Amaavasya) with Saturn on Rohini Nakshatra as explained by Ved Vyas. Rahu was approaching the Sun, and the Moon was turning towards Amaavasya (New-Moon day).
36 years after the Mahabharat war, Yadav kula was destroyed. This was predicted by Krishna by astrological happening – “Rahu has compressed Purnima on Chaturdasi day. This happened once before the Mahabharata war and again will be happening soon and this will lead to our destruction”. He remembered Gandhari’s curse on the Yadav kula.
a strange phenomenon occurred during the Mahabharat war.
Signs of the Sky on the Massive Destruction Ahead
The lunar cycle (paksha – normally is 15 days) sometimes happens in fourteen days. But during the Mahabharat war-time a rare thing happened – the paksha got compressed to 13 days. This aspect has been discussed in the Bhishma parva – 3rd Adhyay. Guru and Shani are in Vaishaka, Moon and the Sun entered in the same house one after the other making Amaavasya on the Trayodasi day it self . This peculiar condensation of the thithis into thirteen from fifteen is a rare phenomenon as discussed by Vyas in Mahabharat and has inevitably followed by mass destruction due to war. This incident provided a direct means to establish the precise date of Mahabharat war.
According to Julian calendar this type of planetary collusion occurred definitely in 3076 BC in November. Vyas writes:
Caturdashiim panchadashiim
Bhuuta puurvamca shoodhashiim
Imaantu naabhi jaaneham
Amaavaasyaam trayodashiim
Chandra suurya bhougrastou
Ekamevam trayodashiim
AparvaNi grahaNe tou
Prajaa sakshapaishyataH
“I have seen fourteen days a paksha, fifteen day completion or extension to sixteenth day also. This Amaavasya falling on the thirteenth day itself I have never seen before” – says Vyas. That, on the same month Sun and Moon eclipses falling during the missing tithies is a rare phenomenon, resulting in large-scale disaster to people.
The Worship of Weapons
One month before, in Margashira, during Purvaashhada Nakshatra, armies of Pandavas and Kouravas have assembled on the West and the East sides of the Hiranya river, respectively. The next day was Navaratri and Durga Puja day. Duryodhana was itching for the war. That evening Duryodhana sends a word with Shakuni’s son Uluka, ” We have finished the prayer to the arms and everybody is ready – why there is further delay in starting the war?” The next day, Margashira Shudda Ekadashi day, in Kritika Nakshatra, the war started. Hence, the famous Bhagavad Geeta teaching also started on that day. The war began at 6:30 am. The date according to Julian calendar was 22nd November, 3067B.C.
Other Notable Incidences of Mahabharat that Occurred
Bhishma’s death:

Yudhisthira shakam started in 3082BC, October 26th . The gambling and the banishment of Pandavaas to forest was in November 3081BC, Margashira shukla-Trayodashi.
Vanavas was 12 years and living incognito was for one year (13 lunar years + 5 lunar months + 12 days or 13 solar years plus 18 days) – Bhishma calculates and declares that Dhurodhana’s calculations were wrong.
Ajnata Vaas (living incognito) began in Margashira 3069BC. Arjun was noticed on Margashira Krishna Navami, 3068BC.
The Great Mahabharat war began on 3067BC, Friday 22nd November, Margashira shudda ekadashi Nakshatra.

Sanjay was only left.
Shri Krishna left earth on 3031BC, April 13th Friday.
Pandavas Maaha Prasthan was in 3031BC, in November.
These are the dates that matched the Indian astrological description of the stars and the moon, and Julian Calendar predictions.
There is so much self consistency in all the events and the descriptions that it makes one to wonder. Based on these exact information Mahabhaarat must be Five thousand years Old (from today) as per the historical accounting.
The analysis is extremely precise and scientific, matching the astrological position of the Indian and the Julian Calendars.
The beauty and the scientific analysis of Bhagavad Geeta stand out as monumental contribution by the Mahabharat period to the mankind. Based on the above facts the historicity of Mahabharat cannot be questioned.
