Tara Mata makes this interesting assessment on the ‘24,000 years for one circuit’

The great sages of ancient India, whose knowledge of astronomy has not been surpassed by any modern nation, claimed that by the phenomena of procession the equinoctial points our sun would take 24,000 years to complete one circuit around the zodiac of the constellations modern science tells us that the present rate per session is 50.1” yearly or 1° 0 “ in 72 years at that rate it would take not 24,000 but 25,920 years for the vernal equinox to make one whole circle of the zodiac of the constellations and return we need given starting point or fix time however there is no proof that the present rate a procession or 50.1” yearly is constant, and the ancients claimed that at the certain stages Of the cycle the rate a procession is slightly more rapid than that other stages this theory receive proof from the calculations of the greatest astronomer Hipparchus (146 yearsBC) who gave the rate of precession at that time of his observations as 50–2/3”,or a rate somewhat faster than at present. We therefore have no scientific reason to deny that the ancient Hindu astronomers were correct in giving 24,000 years, as the time which would elapse between one coincidence of vernal equinox with any fixed star and it’s next exact coincidence with the same star.

The next question we should ask is this. Does the wobble of the earth also change to a faster speed as well in its motion to account for a 24,000 year cycle or a 25,920 cycle? And, are we more likely to give this orbital change in speed to the motion of our solar system through space or to the movement fluctuations in the earths wobble?

What would be most likely to effect changes of speed in precession? The curve of our solar system though space or the wobble taking place that changes the earths position with respect to fixed stars?

Did you know that other planets experience precession also?

What factors cause precession on other planets? Can we say that all precession is caused by gravity? Or perhaps Tara Mata had a point we she explained like Sri Yukteswar that this so called pull is the pull of another object or force in the sky which has yet to be determined by science. It is without a doubt that something is happening to our Sun that we do not understand otherwise we would not have leap year every four years to make up for our awkward calendar.

Gregorian calendar
The Gregorian calendar, the calendar system we use today, was first introduced in 1582. To make up for the inaccuracies of its predecessor, the Julian calendar, a number of days had to be skipped. The Gregorian calendar, also known as the Western or Christian calendar, is the most widely used calendar in the world today.

Like Sri Yukteswar before her, Tara Mata advocated using ‘star time’ rather than calendars which are created by humans and must be adjusted periodically. An interesting commentary on her outlook, about the measurement of time follows below;

Systems of chronology

The many systems of chronology adopted by different nations at different times are usually the source of great confusion to later historians and archaeologists in their attempt to fix the periods of history. However, whenever the ancients mentioned the position, during their own times, of the planets or of the equinoxes in reference to the zodiac constellations, the chronological  era of such a men in world history can be determined with exactness. An illustration of the truth of this claim, and one which incidentally proves the great astronomical learning of the ancient Egyptians, Who could do correctly place the planets is a mummy’s  coffin, now in the British Museum which bears on its cover zodiacal representation of the planetary positions at the time the dead Egyptian was embalmed. Calculations by modern astronomers have proved that on the precise date of October 7, 1722 BC, the planets and luminaries were the exact position as shown on the coffin design. The mummy can thus be assigned undeniable antiquity of 17 centuries before Christ.

All ancient and modern methods of measuring years are based either punch solar or luminary phenomena. Just as a sundial will show the exact time of true noon in any locality, regardless of what system of mean or standard time may be used there, so man has no accurate reference of the passage of time in the world cycles through the ages, except the testimony of celestial phenomenon.
