When Karna became the Military General for the Kaurava army
(31 October 5561 BCE - 31 October 2023)

Namaskar Sir, I am a History student. Its very cheerful thing to know the logic beside our ancient knowledge. And your work is a great support to Historians. Hope to utilise this logical interpretation soon in future historical researches. 🙏

All the best

​@@NileshOak Sir one thing I want to ask that in 3000bc because of rise of sea level Dwarka get submerged in sea.In that time there are some other Ancient fort citys submerged under sea, How can be Ram setu was able to use until 1440AD?? I think that Ram setu also submerged in that time and people for there use they rebuild that Bridge because stones are 7000y old and those stone were brought from somewhere else and mud on that is only 3000y old

Great job, great analysis again. These should be part of the school education

Thank you sir for sharing this great knowledge and educating us with this गूढ़ रहस्य of Indian Luni-solar calendar

It's my pleasure

Thank you for posting this video. The illustration helps in understanding a complex topic very easily. I intend to show this to my children as well.

[@sunitasopra]

Thank you sir fantastic video!

[@SJ-ov7dy]

thank you and sicnerely excellent presentation ...

[@Jeeth108]

🙏 Thank you ever so kindly.....very crisp and clear for an English-speaking audience to comprehend.....we really appreciate the presentation because it makes the conceptual understanding almost self explanatory....

[@NileshOak]

So nice of you

[@dahliadsouza9638]

Thank you so much for this topic Nilesh ji ...pranam

[@NileshOak]

Namaskar Keep watching

[@prakar]

This is a brilliant episode! The simulation makes it easy for people with weaker 3-d self visualisation to understand lunar year, solar year, the gap and therefore the adhika masa. Brilliant. PS: Please check in a couple of places you have said "rotations of the moon" where you meant "revolutions", it will be good if you insert a correction label at those points.

[@NileshOak]

Noted. Thanks

Loop watching this video, I mean animation can make learning so much easy.

[@jagannathdas5491]

The video started with reasons for the adhika month. By first slide I was convinced I know the reason. As the video progressed Nilesh was able to bring out visualy the nuances and gross mistake of NOT including the extra month. My Christian friends never understand the lunar months when I try to tell them. This visual aid helps. It could be for this reason that the whole west civilization has lost the contact with moon in their daily lives. A therapist friend of mine didn't know the effect that moon may have on psyche. She even asked me, "Is there ever a moon in sky", or "how many fullmoons in a month?" That's why American farmers had to rely on Almanacs also called agricultural almanac.

[@BMPANCHAKSHARI]

good morning sir your video is very useful, especially with the simulation it made me understand clearly thank you very much you are making lots of effort to educate us. I started developing an interest in astronomy after viewing your video on "Q&A ON SURYA SIDDHANTA" In fact I have a photocopy of it my question is (1)when the solar year is accurate why do we need the lunar year (2) please tell me the meaning of VASANTA SAMPAT this is given in Dr B V VARTAKAS "VASTAVA RAMAYANA" thank you sir

[@NileshOak]

Namaskar 1. Lunar days (Tithi), lunar Paksha, lunar month and lunar year are needed for the same reason we need minute arm and seconds arm on wall clock. 2. I already explained.

🙏Namaskar & Thank you Nileshji, One more question is how TIME is calculated day-to-day like muhurta, prahara. From smallest to Day (Day - from sunrise to sunrise). Please enlighten us on this.

[@NileshOak]

Namaskar Please refer to additional books, websites and talks.

[@CR_1609]

@@NileshOak Namaskar & Thank you for reply. My query was about the logic behind it, means what could be the reason / observations that lead said specific unit as standard (of that time). Like 'Nimish' is the smallest 'Natural' unit for any/that specific act/action which again is natural in a sense. Day is from Sun rise to Sun rise, Month is from No moon to No Moon. Its about 'Units' & possible Logic behind it. 🙏

[@CR_1609]

@@NileshOak Namaskar 🙏 Thank you for your reply. Would be pleased if you suggest where to look for its answers. Still I'm curious about- How 'Those concept could have been Evolved'? How 'Kal/Samay' was being calculated, before industrial revolution ? World is definitely not FLAT & Sun is definitely not revolving Earth. " 6A's Katha of beheading could have any connect with 'TOBA' ? I'm weird

@@NileshOak i know that but im just Asking about the bridge experts says that bridge was submerged in 1440Ad in stones are 7000y old but soil one that is only 3000y old...so my opinion is in the middle of 7000y to 3000y bridge must be submerged and that must be rebuilt is timeline might be different but it must be submerged or not that what i wanted to know sir??
