Fake Sabbath Calendar in the Name of Ved

[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)

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.

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?
