Dr. Yadav encouraged the use of the Vedic clock and assisted the youth present in downloading the Vikramaditya Vedic Clock app on their mobile devices. On this occasion, he was also presented with a Vedic clock.
Panchang is a living example of the accuracy and precision of Indian chronology
CM Dr. Yadav said that for astronomical studies, the speed of the Sun was calculated based on the shadows it cast. He said that the center of India is Ujjain, and the center of Ujjain is currently located in Dongla. This location is associated with the stories of Lord Krishna and Sudama, which adds to its significance.
Dr. Yadav highlighted that the Panchang is a living example of the accuracy and precision of Indian chronology. The scholars who compile the Panchang provide timely information about lunar eclipses, solar eclipses, dates, constellations, days, fasting periods, festivals, and auspicious times even in the present day. He said that through the Vedic Clock app, users can operate the Vedic clock on their mobile devices.
