The Fall of Star Vega (Abhijit)
By Dr. P.V.Vartak
Truth of 12,000 years B.C. recorded in
Mahabharat.
Maharshi Vyas has recorded in Mahabharat, Vana Parva (Chap.230, Verses
8-11), a dialogue between Indra and Skanda where-in it is stated that:
"Contesting against Abhijit (Vega), the constellation Krittika (Pleiades) went
to "Vana" the Summer Solstice to heat the summer. Then the star Abhijit
slipped down in the sky. At that time Dhanishta was given the first place in
the list of Nakshatras. Rohini was also the first some time back. Now you
decide what to do," said Indra.
This
dialogue shows that when Indra went to Summer Solstice, Vega started falling
down. Many scholars have ridiculed this idea of Star Falling; but now it is
proved by modern astronomy that it was a true fact that 12,000 years B.C., Vega
had really come down to the horizon from the heights of the sky, to become a
pole star.
Krittikas were at the Summer Solstice between 21,800 and 20,840 years B.C. At
this time Dhansishta was at the vernal equinox and hence was given the first
place in the Nakshatras. From this period, the sages noticed the gradual fall of
Abhijit. Falling steadily, it is assumed the position of the Celestial Pole at
12,000 B.C., when Indra met Skanda to think on the problem of time-reckoning.
The story shows that the Indian sages were observing the stars and
constellations at least from 23,000 years B.C.
