Merge suggestion
The original article on 12 March 2007 by Satbahadur claims that his calendar displayed in the image was developed in 2500 BCE by Hindus. This claim is repeated in the image. Actually, it is the Gregorian calendar, which was developed by the Roman Catholic Church in 1582. Because all months in the image are 31 days, the user has to know that some Gregorian months terminate after 28, 29 or 30 days. The Gregorian calendar actually repeats in 400 years, not 800 years. The other textual claims are already repeated in various Hindu articles. This article should be deleted, not merged. — Joe Kress 07:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect
As discussed above, this article is only a vehicle to present Satbahadur's flawed (and copyrighted) version of the Gregorian calendar, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Hindu calendars. As such, I am redirecting the title to Buddhist calendar, some versions of which actually do repeat every 800 years—the Hindu calendar repeats in 432,000 years, a Kali Yuga, hence is not perpetual. — Joe Kress (talk) 22:37, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
