 These are the dates that matchedthe Indian astrological description of the stars and the moon, and Juliancalendar predictions. There is so much self-consistencyin all the events and the descriptions that it makes one amazed. Based on thisexact information Mahabharat must befive thousand years old (from today) as per the historical reckoning. The analysis is extremely preciseand scientific, matching the astrological position of the Indian and the Juliancalendars. The beauty and the scientificpsychoanalysis of Bhagavad Geeta standout as monumental contribution by the Mahabharatperiod to the mankind. Based on the above facts, the historicity of Mahabharat cannot be questioned. Translation by K. Sadananda
