So far as the chronology of Indian history is concerned, Indian writers were well versed in astronomy. They have given astronomical dateline everywhere whether it is literary sources or epigraphic records. So, the need is to formulate an ancient calendar so that the dateline given into literature and epigraphic records may be verified and a true chronology of Indian history may be constructed. The present author has made an humble attempt to construct the 7000 years old calendar and has successfully verified the astronomical dateline quoted in epigraphic records, Purunas and other Sanskrit texts to fix the epochs of various events of Indian history and personalities. Hope the present work will be helpful to learned and laity alike for understanding the actual and factual dateline of Indian history.

The fifth volume comprising of 1-49 Sargas of Upaśama Prakarana of the 8th edition of the Yogavāsiṣṭha is a thoroughly revised edition with respect to original Sanskrit Text, English translation and Notes. It also has Roman Transliteration of Sanskrit ślokas. This time a humble attempt is made to make this new edition free from all grammatical and typographical errors that were visible in the editions published by Parimal publications. Since an objective and the updated translation free from flaws is awaited since long and earlier editions could not fill up the gap, this new edition is presented with revised translation, illustrations and notes. Hope the readers and seekers will be benefited alike with the deep philosophical insights of the Yogavāsiṣṭha.
