Between 10,000 and 4,000 B.C.E., Indo-Europeans ('Aryans') migrated into India from the NorthWest. Prior to their migration, India was populated by the Dravida ('Dravidians'; Mediterranean origin) primarily with some Tibeto-Burmese (Oriental) and Austro-Asiatics (Negro). We're starting to find clues to the Dravida dominance in early history by analyzing linguistic patterns of peoples (Brahui) that use a gutteral la nguage related to Tamil. (IE or 'Aryans' were of white caucasian race and Dravida were of dark caucasian race.)

Pre-Dynastic Era Although we do not have much evidence to prove the validity of the Pre-Dynastic lineage (other than what is documented in the Puranas), we also do NOT have any sure way to conclusively disprove it. Therefore I am including it for completeness.

Request for Academic Assistance: >>>

This timeline must be thoroughly vetted by an academic effort in order to gain more credibility by the academic community and become part of the official educational system in India and the world. I am not an academic. I am a critically-minded, Indian-American who has put a great deal of time these past 4 years into this ongoing project. What I want to see and what we need to have is at least one full-time PhD scholar work on this timeline as part of a Doctoral Thesis and produce a book as the output (with the Royal Chronology India Timeline in an Appendix and associated website). Areas where more work is needed include (but are certainly not limited to): 1) Map all the kings of the 10 books of the Rg Veda against the kings in this timeline to both add depth to this timeline and to pin down a more accurate timeframe for the composition of the Rg Veda. Continue this effort to the later Vedas. 2) More information about all the royal dynasties of Persia and creating a solid LINKAGE POINT between these lists and Indian King's list (especially at the Zarathushtra point - which is supposed to correspond to a timeframe of the later Vedas). 3) More information about the ancestors and descendants of Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) and Mahavira (tied to archaeo. evidence) 4) More information about the 24 Jaina Tirthankaras and determining the historical validity and timeframes of as many of these 24 leaders/law-givers as is possible (assuming that many of them have an historical basis). 5) More information about the chronologies of South Indian dynasties 6) Inclusion of lists of priestly teacher-student disciplic successions (Guru-Parampara) 7) Try to name and locate in ancient literature some of the SSC cities thereby creating more archeo-based 'ANCHORS'. 8) Decipher the 'Indus Script' tablets in order to understand the culture, religion, economy of the SSC and map it into Indian literature. The need is great and it truly requires a full-time effort by a qualified and motivated individual. I will support that individual (or individuals) as best I can. If you have any recommendations for someone who can fill this role, please contact me at

The noblest lesson embodied in the Ramayana is the supreme importance of righteousness in the life of every human being. Righteousness is the spiritual spark of life. Cultivation of righteousness is the process of unfoldment of the latent divinity in man. The glorious incarnation of the Supreme Being in the form of Lord Rama has exemplified the path of righteousness. Let mankind follow His footsteps and practise the ideals cherished by Him, for it is only thus that there can be everlasting peace, prosperity and welfare in this world.

Additional Notes: Good website: http://www.savari.com/networks/reader/festivals_fairs/main.htm Very detailed dating of festivals: http://www.hindu.panchang.i12.com/ Each day of Navratri is devoted to one avatar: Mahakali came into being to kill two rakshasas, Madhu and kaitabh. After the deluge (Pralay) a lotus grew out of Narayana's navel with Brahma seated on it. But along with him these two demons were also born -- and they wanted to kill Brahma. In answer to Brahma's frantic prayers, Mahakali, who stayed in Lord Vishnu's eyes, left him and he rose to fight these demons for 5,00 years. mahakali changed the demon's mindset and instead of fighting they sought Vishnu's blessings. Once, Mahishasura defeated the gods and began ruling in heaven. The gods prayed to Lord Vishnu and Shiva. These gods emanated very strong light from their bodies which turned into Mahalakshmi and killed Mahishasur. Mahasaraswati or Chamunda eliminated Shumbha and Nishumbha. She was conceived from the powers of God Vishnu. Chamunda also killed another demon, Raktabeej, who could reproduce as many more of himself from each drop of his blood that fell to the ground. But Raktabeej was vanquished with the help of Mahakali who collected his blood on her tongue to stop this senseless reproduction. The fourth avatar safeguarded Krishna from his cruel uncle, Kansa. Yogamaya was brought to Mathura from Gokul in place of Krishna. In future wars she helped Krishna with her yogic powers, and killed powerful rakshasas like Chadoor. The came the ferocious Rakta Dantika who killed Veprachiti Rakshasa. She drank the demon's blood, hence this name. For a change, the sixth avatar was not incarnated to save the usually clumsy demigods. For 100 years, there was a drought on earth. So the sages performed penance and pleased Devi Bhagwati who was born as Shakumbhari. She brought rain to the parched land. A demon named Durgam had created mayhem. So Lord Vishnu created a goddedd. Since she killed Durgam, she was called Durga, and is the most sought after deity. She rides a tiger. A demon named Arun had evil designs on the wives of the demigods so they changed into a wasp and prayed to Durga. Durga changed into a wasp herself and killed the demon. So she came to be known as Bhramari. The last incarnation is Chandika -- she came to kill two demons, Chanda and Munda. The 12 Jyotirlingas are: 1 Somnath in Kathiawar. 2 Shri-Shailya-Mallikarjun in the South. 3 Mahakaleshwar in Ujjain. 4 Omkarnath on the bank of river Jamuna. 5 Parali-Vaijanath in Marathwada. 6 Bhimashanker on the bank of Bhima river. 7 Rameshwar in South. 8 Naganath in Marathwada. 9 Ghrusneshwar at Daulatabad. 10 Kashi-Vishveshwar in Benares. 11 Kedarnath in Uttar Pradesh. 12 Trimbakeshwar in Nasik.
