Fake Sabbath Calendar in the Name of Ved
Written by Sunil Nair

[A reply to attackers on astrology who spread that astrology is against Hindu religion and imported from West - it is Greek Chaldean contribution and argue that even the calendars which we use should be changed to their some vague Lunar calendars]

This is what I gather about middle eastern, Greek or Arabic, Yehudian (Jews) calendars. They all have a common belief and philosophy (Semitic philosophy) except old Greece. I believe that Hindu kings were ruling in Greece till it was totally destroyed just 200 years before Alexander's birth. This period is called Minoans' era. One of arguments is that - It is Greeks or Chaldeans or Mesopotamians or at least Jews who gave India all Vedas and technology and even Puraan. They do not spell it exactly as it is, but as per their argument, as Puraan have astrological signs, hence they should be of Greece origin! The Greece went later under Roman Empire, just after Alexandrian era, to became the seat of Jews and later of Christians. The old Mesopotamia (current Iraan) was habited by old Indus people too. Indus people must have been an elitist class there, as there are several Indus seals discovered in that area, showing the supremacy of the Indus people. They where respected as elite royal class even in Arabia (especially Bahraain and Omaan). Indus seals discovered in Arabia is a proof their supremacy and of settling there and leading an influential life in those societies (Dilmun civilization)

All these Western religions, their people and civilizations believe that God created everything in six days and took rest on 7th day. It is known as Sabbath. The word "Sabat" is Sapt in Sanskrit "meaning 7th" (referred to at least in Bible) indicating that the word itself is of Vaidik Sanskrit origin. In India all Indian religions have same line of thought and the same is true with all those Western imported Asian religions too. It is better right to use the Semitic religion for the word "western religions".

Arabic calendars do not have the concept of months - means there were no specific month names assigned to months with some specific meanings connected to seasons or constellations or what ever, but only some religious belief attached names. I think it is the same with other Middle-Eastern religions too. Thus for Muslims sighting of the Moon and the Moon periods was the whole of their calendar concept. All religious festivals were decided by sighting of the Moon after Amaavasyaa and it is not predetermined like in Hindu Panchaang (almanacs/ephemeris).

Another cute point to note which emphasizes the authentic nature of Indian knowledge is that, there is no proof of Panchaang in other societies which may be used for religious purpose, this exists only in India. This points to its uniqueness and originality in the use of Panchaang (5 limbs of time viz. Vaar, Karan, Tithi, Nityayog and Nakshatra), and also points to the fact that these 5 limbs of time were originated in India itself. Everybody knows the age of Muslim religion - with all valid proof and strong historical proof with valid support, now it is only Hijaree era is 1430, clarifying that the Muslim religion originated only around 6th century AD. Even their calendars have nothing to do with any astronomical specialty than some belief as this month is this way attached to some religious way. And it doesn't keep with seasons and it just keeps rotating in every year.

Even after translating various astrological and astronomical texts from India (there were good astrologers in Arabic and Islamic periods too) they are yet to master the calendar concept and its seasonal and astronomical importance. Many people think that such lunar calendar is the most authentic one and not the Indian solar calendar and we should change to the Muslim way. Or better that that was the Vaidik way. May be that they are trying to indicate that Hindus have adopted all knowledge from Muslims.

Let us review the Muslim system and see how correct it is. Let us see whether those Arabic Muslim calendar concepts are in any way connected to seasons or not. No, we will fail to find any proper connection. For example, the Ramadan month (their biggest fasting month) can be in summer at one time and in winter at another time

Let us look at the week days they use as well. Their week day naming system is, youm al ahd (first day ), youm al Ithnain (2nd day ) till youm al Sabbath (7th day ) etc, except on Friday which is named Jumaa or youm al Jumaa (Jumaa means religious mass prayers day in Arabic). Also remember that Arabic is one of the oldest language of the world too. We are left wondering - why they don't call the week days with some specific name? Some specific names connected with the planets or so, as we call them, but only call them as 1st day, 2nd day, up to 7th day. Is it that the original names have been forgotten? Why they are using 7-day system of Ved?

This means that the Arabic people never had any 7-day week system with names such as Sunday, Monday etc up to Saturday. This means that even the European system of 7-day week is pirated from India and not from Arabia or so. Later the Arabs simply started using the new English version of days in their modern calendar. This all points to the fact that, the Arabs had no idea about planets and planetary days. One major question that springs in mind is that - Why these slave Greeks to Romans (Ancient Greek were conquered by Romans) or slave Jews to Chaldeans (Arabia and Chaldia wee under Indus rule earlier, Arab Jews were slaves under Chaldean rule) cannot influence Arabs or Europe? But as per Kaul, they were all eager to export all those knowledge to India. Poor thing! They Semitic Jews and Chaldeans don't have any knowledge to influence even Arabs or Europe, how were they supposed to have influenced India? Arabs became the torch bearers of Jew/Muslim Semitic branch and Greek being considered as the forefathers of the European/Christian renaissance and science.

It is interesting to note that the Arabians who were very close to Chaldea and Chaldeans, and Jews or even to Mesopotamia (present Iraaq) didn't know anything much nor had a calendar. Otherwise, why there is
no proof of that with them? Even Jews and old bible says Saturday as Sabbath (7th day - Sapt Dinam) day - a Sanskrit adopted word. Where is any proof for their authority in astrology or astronomy for their week day concept? For us no such confusion and no such lack of clarity, since we have our base clear and know well the connection between week days and its astronomical and astrological connotation and explanation.

No where in Quran /Bible /or Jewish holy texts has proof that they had real calendars or even proper week days. It means they created all this only in export zone (since they had none of this knowledge for their native personal use) and exported all this to India as some tax benefits are available or what? Please see the stupidity involved in this argument. If they didn't have any such knowledge available with them, how they are supposed to export the same to India? If India had such knowledge earlier itself, if even the words show the Indian connection, is it not clear that they gained this knowledge from India and not vice versa?

We know that during the making present Western calendar the Europeans invited lots of astrologers from India and connected also through correspondence (Indian literature available to Europeans). So the old Roman 10 month calendar which is again a pirated Sanskrit version has been transformed into present 365 days yearly calendar. This happened after 3rd/4th century AD and they still have no clear calendar.

Indians have solid proof that they are using this kind of calendar, though not exactly the same, but based on Solar (Saur) days. Now some people are saying that we copied them (taking advantage of present English based education in India) or some twisted versions.

See fun of the new Western calendar - September which was the 7th month before become the 9th month later, October which was the 8th month before became the 10th month later, November which was the 9th month before became 11th month later and December which was the 10th month before become the 12th month later (Sapt is 7, Asht means 8, Nava means 9, and Das means 10 in Sanskrit). Can anyone explain this magic and say how it happened?
