In a YouTube video, scholars and historians gathered to celebrate the birthday of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose. Amidst discussions on freedom and patriotism, the video took an intriguing turn as it explored the ancient concept of Kali Yuga, drawing on inscriptions and historical evidence from various regions in India. The video unfolds with a quote from Netaji, emphasizing the importance of taking freedom.
A significant portion of the video is dedicated to unraveling the historical importance of Kali Yuga. Various inscriptions, including those found in the Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple in Tamil Nadu, point towards the existence of Kali Yuga and its starting date in 3101 BC. Inscriptions from different regions, spanning back to 1000 BCE, showcase the interconnection between states like Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The video introduces a wealth of evidence supporting the dating of Kali Yuga, ranging from inscriptions in village records to the Mackenzie Collection, which contains books on South India Temple inscriptions dating as early as 86 BCE. The video emphasizes the widespread use of Kali Yuga dating for over 3,000 years, with inscriptions from common people, kings, and rulers showcasing its commonality. Addressing the coexistence of Kali Yuga and the Gregorian calendar, the video acknowledges the dual usage in government offices and public spaces. It suggests a gradual increase in the adoption of Kali Yuga in official documents, business communications, and government offices.
The video concludes by highlighting the increasing awareness of Kali Yuga compared to previous decades. It calls for a nuanced approach, suggesting that while external appearances may shift towards the common era, the internal adoption of Kali Yuga should continue to flourish.
