In a drastic re-evaluation of astronomy observations from Mahabharata, using high-tech tool of modern astronomy and low-tech tool of the logic of scientific discovery, Nilesh Oak’s extraordinary book presents ordinary theory of astronomy observations that would lead to a quantum jump in our understanding of the Mahabharata War:
•How a theory based on single unifying idea corroborates 100+ astronomy observations
•Where to search for the year of the Mahabharata War – Epoch of 6500 years & Compact time interval of 3000 years
•How a single observation, previously known but unexplained, falsifies 96% of all proposals for the year of the Mahabharata War
•Why does it matter how long Bhishma was lying on the bed of arrows
•How ancient is the tradition of meticulous astronomy observations.
Acceptance of his theory leads to surprising conclusions about our current understanding of world civilizations, domestication of horses, dating of Ramayana or Vedas and antiquity of meticulous astronomy observations. Rejection of his theory would compel us to search for the likes of Newton and Lagrange, among the Sages of India, at least thousand years before Sir Isaac Newton & Joseph-Louis Lagrange.
Praise for 'When did the Mahabharata War Happen?: The Mystery of Arundhati'
"You have done a great job. I requested astronomers to consider if Arundhati had gone ahead of Vasisth in 1971, when I published 'Swayambhu' . But nobody cared. You are the first to do the great job!"
- P V Vartak (Author of 'Swayambhu' & 'Wastav Ramayana')
"A very interesting book to read. Author has approached dating of Mahabharat from a very innovative angle. He accurately predicts the date of the war. This book also gives a very good explanation of the nakshatras and their positions. It is facisnating to see the detailed research. A scientific approach in debunking all the theories so far. I highly recommend this book."

Validating the basic premise
By Skyblue
This is an interesting and thought provoking book. The author takes the reference made in Mahabharata that Arundhati (Alcor) is ahead of Visistha (Mizar) and uses the latest software to find the time period in the past when this was true. His research finds that this was indeed the case between 13000 BC and 4000 BC. He then goes on to use other astronomical references in Mahabharate to pin the date to 5561 BC.
Let us look at the basic premise itself. The reference to Arundhati goes like this. (Quoting from the book). Vyasa tells Dhritarashtra, day before the Mahabharata War: "My dear King, Arundhati (saintly wife of Vasistha) who is revered by the righteous all over the three worlds, has left her husband Vasistha behind". The remark indicates that Vyasa is refering to a recent observable event, that is not the norm. According to Author's own research, in 5561 BC, Arundhati was already walking ahead of Vasistha for the past 7500 years. Why would Vyasa consider it abnormal and an evil omen? Next, according to the author again, it takes a 9000 year cycle for Arundhati to go ahead or fall behind Vasistha. Hardly an observable event. Vyasa is clearly refering to something that has happened in the recent past, either days or weeks, that is a sign that war is emminent. We are not told of any other reference that lead the author to his interpretation. The basic premise itself then becomes questionable.
In this context, Vaidya's proposal in his book "The Mahabharata: A Criticism" that all astronomical references were added to the original text by Sauti, to swell the list of evil omens, becomes more convincing. In Sauti's time Arundhati was behind Vasistha, and she walking ahead of Vasistha would certainly be considered an evil omen.
The corroborating astronomical references also need careful evaluation. Many need assumptions that they refer to uranus, neptune or pluto, planets not observable to the naked eye. This needs another speculation that some advanced technology was available to observe and records these events. Other astronomical reference can be subject to differing interpretations. Thus it is possible they will corroborate other dates as well.
As per author's own admission, accepting a date of 5560 BC implies rejecting well known and accepted dates and facts like, domestication of the horse, beginning of bronze age, beginning of iron age, discovery of telescope or technology to observer the skies, no archeological evidence of any pre harappan civilization, etc. In fact it needs rewriting history as we know it.
Lay and casual reader cannot make a call on reserach like this. We can only do a sanity check. The better options would be to present this as a doctorate thesis where it will get scholarly scrutiny. Or present it as a paper at a historical conference, where it will be reviewed by peers.
The book as such is interesting if you are interested in subjects like these. The introduction to astromony is well written. You will be better off if you stop at this point to check out some youtube videos on basic astronomy. Nothing to beat animation, when it comes to understanding complex star motions. It is definitely needed if you want to understanding the theory presented in the book and give it some thought.
I also appreciate the final chapter where author candidly lists out the implications, and problems with the theory.
On the whole, it is worth taking the time to understand the subject and read the book and come to your own conclusions.

Astronomy's Veridical Use
By S. M. Sullivan
Now that I'm through reading the book 'When did the Mahabharata War Happen?' I am very impressed with the hard science in back of Nilesh Oak's ideas. By an ingenious use of astronomy software, he has verified P. V. Vartak's date of 5561 BC for the Mahabharata War, also systematically excluding the possibility of various other dates that have been offered. He has computer reckoned the possible dates for certain arrangements of planets as described in passages of the Mahabharata at the time of certain incidents. The book is not for someone who quails at learning new things about astronomy or Sanskrit, or one who resists new theories and ideas. Indeed it is difficult going, but well worth it.
What improvements could be made in this book? The science of archeology has made addresses to the problem of dating such events as the sinking of Dwarka (contemporary with Krishna's death), and how the Ramayana and the
Indus Valley Civilization fit into the puzzle of south Asia's history. If Nilesh Oak decides to revise his book so as to add an epilogue, I'd like to see some mention of new finds that either corroborate or cast doubt upon his findings. For instance, he could cover the Graham Hancock/Glenn Milne thermoluminescence dates from Dwarka, and the recent discovery of domesticated horse remains dated 9,600 years ago from Saudia Arabia, or the DNA evidence presented by Steven Oppenheimer, which tends to support the out-of-India theory.

One can count on the stars... for dating ancient Indian literature.
By Wim Borsboom
I first saw Mr. Nilesh Oak's videos online, which showed how astrological software was able to go back in time and confirm descriptions of the night sky, its planets, stars and constellations as they were recorded in ancient Indian literature, specifically the Mahabharata.
The Mahabharata describes the 18 day epic battle of Kurukshetra that took place in North-Western India many millennia BCE.
The range of dating of this battle by scholars is quite large.
The following is taken from Wikipedia:
. Most widely accepted date is 10th century BCE or 950 BCE, according to archeological evidences.
. S. Balakrishna concluded a date of 2559 BCE using consecutive lunar eclipses.
. R. N. Iyengar concluded a date of 1478 BCE using double eclipses and Saturn+Jupiter conjunctions.
. B. N. Achar states a date of 3067 BCE using planetary positions listed in the Mah'bh'rata.
. P. V. Holey states a date of November 13, 3143 BCE using planetary positions and calendar systems.
. P. V. Vartak calculates a date of October 16, 5561 BCE using planetary positions.
. K. Sadananda, on November 22 3067 BCE, Kurukshetra War started.
Mr. Oak confirmed Dr. Vartak's dating: October 16, 5561 BCE...
When I got a hold of this book I found it a very informative and absorbing read, as I knew very little about these kind of astronomical issues. The way it is written I could also use it as a primer.
The interesting and most important part of the book is of course how the writer arrived at the battle's date... but he did this in a different manner than the way Dr. Vartak did, thanks to this very graphic software. It so well describes the back-and-forth movements of Arundhati through the skies.
What stuck in my memory was how Mr. Oak's method proved the date of October 16, 5561 BCE right, but how he at the same time proved Dr. Vartaks's reasoning wrong.
Through my research in the Indus Script (Harappan Culture) I have been getting into the history of the Indus Valley from a totally different angle, an angle though that forced me to consider a much earlier dating of the Mahabharata War than the current scholarly consensus of 10th century BCE. This book convinced me conclusively of the early date.
I urge Mr. Oak to date the Ramayama and the ancient Vedic literature in a similar manner.
