Daśāvatāra #8 of 10 · Dvāpara Yuga · Dvāpara-Yuga end in the received tradition. The computational layer uses a conventional 3102 BCE Kali epoch; it does not prove Krishna's departure on an exact civil date.
Krishna-aspect (the non-dual anchor)
Krishna is Bhagavān Svayam — the Source, not a fragment. All other 9 avatāras are aṁśas; Krishna is Pūrṇa. He is the speaker of BG 4.7-8 — the very promise of yuge-yuge sambhavāmi is HIS promise. Every aṁśa-avatāra is a wave; Krishna is the ocean from which they rise. He alone declares "mattaḥ parataraṁ nānyat kiñcid asti dhanañjaya" (BG 7.7).
This locally hosted reading of Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.3.28is the page's opening witness. Vidhyāmitra presents the received text and its own source address; it does not turn one sampradāya's theological reading into a universal equation for every Sanātana tradition.
This page honors Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa through the hosted Bhagavad-Gītā, Bhāgavata, and Mahābhārata reading paths. It makes no exact civil birth-date claim, no verified natal-chart claim, and no software-derived proof of a theological identity. Traditional festival, tithi, nakṣatra, and chronology material must remain visibly distinct from historically verified fact.

The strongest path on Vidhyāmitra is the text itself. These links lead to the hosted Sanskrit verse, translation, commentary, and source metadata rather than to an editorial cascade built around the verse.

These are corpus navigation claims, not a claim that the software has proved an exact ancient chronology or reconstructed a historically verified janma-kuṇḍalī.
🪷 Yogamāyā, Durgā, and Bhagavatī · Citation Before Synthesis
Kṛṣṇa traditions preserve profound witnesses concerning Yogamāyā and Durgā. Vidhyāmitra honors those witnesses without collapsing Devī, Rādhā, Kṛṣṇa, Viṣṇu, or every sampradāya into one software-proved identity. Until an exact edition, address, Sanskrit passage, and context are hosted, a Durgā-stotra or Devī-Bhāgavata connection remains acitation-level reading lead, not a demonstrated causal claim.
The source-led companion is /bhagavati · Bhagavatī Lalitā, where hosted witnesses, citation-level witnesses, and Vidhyāmitra's devotional application are explicitly separated.
🪷 Nāma-Saṅkīrtana
हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे ॥
Bhāgavata 12.3.51 praises Kṛṣṇa-kīrtana: कीर्तनादेव कृष्णस्य मुक्तसङ्गः परं व्रजेत्. That verse supports the practice of Kṛṣṇa-kīrtana; it does not itself contain the complete thirty-two-syllable Hare Kṛṣṇa mantra printed above. The mantra therefore stands here as received nāma tradition, not as a quotation falsely assigned to Bhāgavata 12.3.51–52.

Lila-essence — the dharma-restoration arc
Krishna is NOT one of the avatāras — He IS the source of all avatāras (Bhāgavata 1.3.28: "kṛṣṇas tu bhagavān svayam"). Born in Mathurā prison to Devakī and Vasudeva at Bhādrapada Kṛṣṇa Aṣṭamī under Rohinī-nakshatra at midnight, He grew up in Vṛndāvana (Yaśodā + Nanda · gopa-gopī-līlā · Govardhana-uplift · Kāliya-mardana · rāsa-līlā). He moved to Mathurā (Kaṁsa-vadha), built Dvārakā, married Rukmiṇī, and as Pārtha-sārathī (Arjuna's charioteer) delivered the Bhagavad Gītā at Kurukṣetra. He facilitated the Mahābhārata-yuddha that established Yudhiṣṭhira as dharma-king, then withdrew His mortal-form at Prabhāsa — at which moment Kali-Yuga began. His departure-moment IS Kali Year 0.

Modern relevance · Kali-Yuga dharma-message
Krishna is the source. Vidhyamitra's entire foundation rests on Krishna-as-Paramaatma framing (per BG 7.7). Every page of this site is a Krishna-aspect window. The 13 BG-layer modules operationalize His teaching directly. He is THE sole reference point.
