When Did The Mahabharata War Happen?: The Mystery of Arundhati

Good work nice thanks for the writer ✍️ as anMahabharath fan and krishna bakth great thanks 🙏 for the writer

This book gives us a reason why Indian history should be rewritten every 10-15 years.I can assure our civilisational history can be around 15000 years old.50 years down the lane it will be proved with existing technology but the question remains are we going to teach that to our children through textbooks ??

Book is fantastic. This is very informative. Everyone should read this book!

When happened Mahabharata must read if you interested in India and believe in India , in this book you know about astronomy , sarswati civilization and many other fact with Mahabharata war timeThank you Nilesh ji for your work and inspired us 🙏

Being a holder of a degree in astronomy. I appreciate the hard work put in place in testing and concluding the date which as per me seems a realistic number.Highly recommended for the readers.

Detailed analysis of the astronomical observations mentioned in Mahabharat. Further research through corroborating evidence from various field needed but a scientific approach. Refreshing and superior to theories based on conjecture

Erudite and lucidly explained astronomical observations for dating the Mahabharat war. Would've liked him to date some new pre war and post war events.

The book is very well researched and the author makes a compelling case for the conclusions he had reached. However, the book suffers from the ills of self-publishing. It has to much use of of the pronoun I and glaring grammatical errors (eg. Why did the fight continued into the night?, P130), which takes away from the reading experience.Buy it for the work done by the author. The writing though leaves a lot to be desired...

Loved the book, though I don't have any backgrount in astronomy. Gave me many new insights and a different perspective on the epic. Just the fact that Nileshji was able to input the astronomical observations into a current Nasa software and get answers proves that our ancient Indic epics were definitely not myths. They were not only true but they had a lot of scientific knowledge and reasoning to them. Another reason for the so called self professed western scholarship to look at Indic culture, civilization, heritage and scientific knowledge with an unbiased point of view. Indic scholars like Nileshji are only further helping to drive home this point. Even for the uninitiated there is so much to learn about astronomy and the Mahabharata story from a different point of view. I will now be reading the 2nd book in this series which is Bhishma Nirvana.

Fascinating Book, Readable .

Understanding that Mahabharata War actually took place from available evidence at this time.

Being a history buff, I had recently enrolled for a course on China offered by Harvard on edx.org. Archaeologically there is nothing so far to suggest a Xia dynasty existed as the Chinese sacred books suggest. They also were a civilization that came from outside China rather than indigenous. But, BUT, it was put across in such a way that "archaeologically we aren't there yet’ and also while talking about the history of China, the history as documented within China - through their sacred books was taken pretty seriously. Not simply brushed aside as myth. Another thing that stood out was that, in the Chinese education system, while the archaeological facts and the fact that archaeologically the civilization had external origins was mentioned, the history books had the version as suggested by the Chinese sacred books also as history and not as myth. In other words, they didn't simply rubbish their traditional wisdom aside because archaeology isn't there yet to corroborate it. Cut to India: Almost all the conventional wisdom and associated literature - namely the Vedas, Upanishads and the Itihasas are a myth in popular perception. Or history books teach us likewise and the historians worldwide have absolutely no respect whatsoever for our books.This book by Nilesh just goes on to show the hidden truth in those texts. The author takes the time to build the foundation on the Indian system and calendars season etc that will help anyone understand the Indian system better(which will include most of the Indians). I loved the chapter on the star Abhijeet. This is something 99% of the Indians wouldn't know. This chapter is enough to show that there is much more to the ancient texts than mantras. The author then sets out very methodically to lay out all the 90 odd astronomical observations in Mahabharatha and derives at his conclusion. The date of Mahabharatha Per Se may be agreeable to you or not. But there is more to it. The fact that Mahabharatha has this many astronomical observation so cogently captured in it is itself a fact that is lost on many. If people can appreciate that alone more than anything else will be a worthwhile takeaway from this book. That is one good reason why you should buy this book. The author goes about the entire thing with an almost surgical precision. Very easy to understand. The book is well laid out. Arrived on time and is a timeless classic.

This is how a theory should be explained. Theory stated clearly, background knowledge explained, evidence well explained and made as simple as possible
