Apr 05, 2021: I think the best possible way is Geocentric observation of lunar and solar eclipses . This <astronomical>
method (or whatever calendar teckniques) remains solid and reliable, while being applicable to the whole area of ancient Vedic literature. It doesn’t break anything in the Vedic worldview and respects other “nested” literary or scientific strata such as Upanishadas, Veda-angas, Upa-Vedas, Tantras, Puranas, and Itihasas.
The <astronomical>
method is generic, mundane semantics-free element. We use it all the time in Vedas decoding and translating of the mantras because it gives us a styling hook without imparting any other extraneous meaning. It gives you all kinds of fantastic repositioning ability to restructure the mandalas and hymns. You can discover new links to <astronomical>
notions inside of reorganized Vedic text elements, of course, but sometimes you just reopen the whole divine harmorny. No problem, here is how it’s done:

Our understanding of the Vedic calendar functionning is way less cool than it was in 2001 (if it ever was). It’s far more semantic and accessible to attach functionality via 60-year Jupiter cycle we apply on a separate TimeLine Page.
If you have already understood the principle of calendrical recombining the mandalas, you could get aquainted whith MANDALAS, reorder and play whith new obtained combinations

(to the first Bombay's ed. entitled 'Rigvedic Studies')
We have great pleasure in publishing the book 'Rigvedic Studies: 1. Rig-veda as a Recital Calendar-Chronometer, 2. Chrono-Mythopoetics of Vedic Hypertext' by Dr. M. I. Mikhailov as the Volume 45 of the Bharatiya Vidya Series.
Dr. M. I. Mikhailov of Belarus has been working in the field of Rgvedic studies for the last five years. Earlier he worked on 'Kshemendra's Didactic and Satirical Poems as a Historical Source' for his Ph.D. Degree. He visited Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan at Mumbai in 1997, to pursue and discuss his Vedic research.
The present work 'Rigvedic studies' reveals a less-trodden aspect of the Vedic study. He attempts to reconstruct the core pattern of the Vedic recital-based highly spiritual ritualistic calendar. The Author's approach in this technical subject is new and highly interesting.
We hope that Dr. Mikhailov's work 'Rigvedic studies' will enrich and inspire the scholars and students of Vedic thought. Gurupurnima, V.S.2054 Thursday, 9-7-1998. J. H. Dave Hon. Director Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan.
R. K. Sharma's Note
Mr. Mikhail Mikhailov is working on a long research project concerning the chrono-astronomical interpretation of the èg-Veda. Scholars were immensely impressed with the originality and objectivity of his treatment in his learned papers presented at the 9th, 10th, and 11th World Sanskrit Conferences held at Melbourne, 1994, Bangalore 1997, and Turin 2000 respectively.
I have known him as a talented researcher in Indology; his continued original research on the chrono-astronomical interpretation of the Rigveda interests me most. He eminently deserves attention which will undoubtedly facilitate his work on an indological topic of international interest.

'Restoration of perfect truth of the Vedas is absolutely necessary for the future of mankind.'
Aurobindo Ghosh
The Vedas ('Witting, Sciences') also called Shruti ('Word', 'Heard Messages from the luminaries in the Sky', the Lore of wisdom) or Shravah ('Glory', 'Word', 'Education') are scientific books of ancient India kept in memory of learned brahmanas, according to my astronomical calculation made on the basis of new astronomical data found in the Rig-Veda along the lines of the standard historical chronology, in an unchanged form as a sacred and most secret heritage about nine millenia ago.
Shravakas or Slavs preserved this knowledge in Europe and epithomized it in a series of astronomical clocks and astrolabes. The most famous among these extraordinary computers are the Antiketeron mechanism and clocks dating from the 14th c. in Prague, Rostok and many other cities of Germany, France, Italy, England etc.
Recently the Vedas have been ranked by UNESCO as masterpieces of the oral heritage of the mankind with aim to draw attention of the world community to their value and to encourage the governments to their preservation. The language, in which they were composed, is considered by learned brahmanas to be a gift granted from heavens, and all subsequent Sanskrit authors show respect to it mixed with surprise and awe.
Further we shall use the word 'Vedas' for designation of the collections of the Vedic hymns (veda-samhitas), whereas 'vedas' for denoting Vedic scientific disciplines.
