Historical Krishna vol 1 Dating of Krishna | English

About This Book

Historical Krishna Vol 1: Dating of Krishna by Nilesh Oak is the book that started one of the most important research conversations in contemporary Indic studies. Using astronomical software to analyse the planetary configurations described in the Mahabharata, Oak establishes the historical date of Krishna’s life with a precision and rigour that has never previously been achieved. Among books on Indian history and Hindu philosophy available to buy online in India, this is one of the most original and significant of recent years.

This is not speculative. The Mahabharata contains hundreds of astronomical observations. Oak shows that only one period in history matches all of them — placing Krishna approximately 5,000 years ago, consistent with the Indian tradition’s own dating. A landmark work in Indic studies and archaeoastronomy.

Who This Book Is For

For anyone who has wondered whether the Mahabharata describes real historical events. For researchers and scholars of ancient Indian history. For devotees of Krishna who want historical grounding for their devotion. For those interested in archaeoastronomy and the intersection of science and Indian tradition. Start with Volume 1 if you are new to this research series.
