The purpose of this chronology is to give a detailed account of Ayyavazhi from the beginning of the incarnational events of Vaikundar to the present time. Question marks on dates indicate approximate dates. The star sign (*)indicates the mentioning of that particular date in Akilam or Arul Nool. All dates but a few are found as per the Tamil calender and so it doesn't coincides with the months of the Gregorian calender. So the dates may span over any halves of the two consecutive months.
