From today, Chaitra Shukla Pratipada i.e. Navratri is starting and with this, New Year i.e. Vikram Samvat 2082 is also starting. It is called Hindu New Year and is known as the most accurate calendar for calculating time as a symbol of Sanatan tradition. It is claimed that Vikram Samvat is the most accurate calendar based on the speed of both Sun and Moon, which has 12 months and is also responsible for calculating the seven -day week based on the ancient calendar planets.
The claims of Vikram Samvat are accurate.
Whatever claims are made about Vikram Samvat are accurate because its author was Acharya Varaha Mihir, who was an expert in astronomy in ancient India. He set up day and night time by correctly calculating the circumambulation of the Earth around the Sun and also kept dates based on it. The calculation of dates is divided into such a subtle way in the moment, anticonvolent, decrease, Muhurta and watch that there can be no error in it. Vikram Samvat is more scientific, but was not implemented as impractical and complex, while Vikram Samvat is prevalent in Nepal.
Vikram Samvat runs on scientific principles
Sanskrit scholar and Bharat Ratna Professor Pandurang Vamana Kane has mentioned Vikrami Samvat in his book ‘History of theology’. He writes that ‘Vikram Samvat is the most scientific’. There is no advance information available about solar eclipse, lunar eclipse and other astronomical phenomena in the western calendar, while Vikram Samvat states on which day the eclipse will be on, but rather it calculates the eclipses in the next few years and tells them about them. It explains the entire position of the seasons as well as planets and constellations.
In Vikram Samvat, the year is called solar year and month is called Chandra month. It is also necessary to mention here that the new year in North India starts from Chaitra Shukla Pratipada. The new year of Vikram Samvat in South India begins from the Shukla Paksha of Kartik month.
How did Vikram Samvat begin?
The question arises how the Vikram Samvat started and how it came into existence and who established it by recognizing it as a calendar? If we look at mythological contexts, it is also mentioned in Brahma Purana. Accordingly, the Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month is considered to be the beginning day of the universe. This is also the first day of Brahma. This day is also considered to be the beginning of the time calculation in India. However, it is believed that the Gregorian calendar prevalent in India began with the birth of Jesus Christ. Vikram Samvat begins 57 years before Christ.
