When I started writing this blog article it was only about ‘Ram Navmi’, The birth day of ‘Rama’ Ideal most character in the history of Bhatar varsha, The Indian subcontinent. Not only in the history and literature of Indian sub continent but also in the history of mankind, no other historical character has been narrated with so much devotion and dignity by so many authors across the globe. However different articles published on related topics on different newspapers made me deviate the direction of my article towards the ‘Ram sethu’ built by Ram and authenticity of his very existence and thus over the authenticity of entire native Indian civilization.
Historicity:
Myth of Aryan invasion theory:
Its been quite some time since the imaginary Aryan invasion theory has been proved wrong and its been proved that native Indians are Aryans, by disapproving forign invasion in Indus -Saraswati civilization. The existence of ‘Sarasvati’ river has been proved, which of course ASI thought did not exist initially. High resolution satellite images show the relics of the decent of holy water of the river from its source in the mountains of Himalayas all the way into the Arabian sea, as exactly per the description of Rigveda. Mighty Saraswati river and its civilization are referred to in the rigveda number of times and its been proved archaeologically the dwindling and drying up of saraswati river was in the year 1900 BCE and thus proving the drying up of saraswati river subsequent to the origin of rigveda and pushing the date of its origin to antiquity proving the existance of vedas and further disapproving the purely imaginary racist aryan invasion theory. So the existence of mighty Saraswati river and the cultural continuity in the vicinity for Melania are factual and not mythical as widely propagated.
Its also been almost two decades since the existence of entirely submerged port city ‘Dwaraka’ of ‘ Lord Krishna in the north western state of India ‘Gujrat’, as mentioned in Vedic scriptures and Mahabharata has been found which further solidifies the the authenticity of existence of ‘lord Krishna and civilization to the age as old as 4000 BCE at least as per the description in mahabharata and by the verification of the relics of city of ‘Dwaraka’ archaeologically. ‘Dwara’ or ‘Dwaraka’ means gate or gateway, thus being self descriptive the city of Dwaraka was port city and capital city of yadavas who ruled ‘Anarta kingdom’. The capital was said to be shifted from ‘Mathura’ to ‘ Dwaraka’, after Krishna killed the monster Kamsa, for the safety of citizens of the kingdom as monster ‘Jarasandha’ the father in law of “kamsa’ was said to have attacked ‘Mathura’ several times. According to the ancient historical revelations the city of Dwaraka was built by reclaiming twelve yojana’s of land from the sea by lord Krishna and the actual construction was carried out by divine architect ‘Viswakarma’. The following shloka of ‘Mahabharata’ describes the disappearance of the city by ocean.
Niryate tu jane tasmin –After People have vacated
sagaro makaralayaha — Water occupied the land
dwarakan ratna -sampurnan– Still the city of Dwaraka full of affluence
jalenaplavayattada.–Got drowned by water.
This incident of lowering and raising of the sea level has been said to have documented by the historical documents of Bahrain exactly at same time period.
Proving the authenticity of history of ‘Rama’:
History of India, Bharat- Varsh, the Indian sub continent goes back to the days as old as 175000 years ago from now according to native inhabitants of Bharat varsha which of course is debated. However the vast land from Afghanistan of today till Bangladesh were all part of ancient Indian subcontinents.
Even going further beyond, ‘Akhanda Bharata’, meaning ‘Undivided India’ was having lot more land geographically before Islamic invasion into India.
Recently An effort was made by a self motivated person to find the birth date of ‘Rama’. The software called ‘Planetarium gold software‘ was used to find the exact date of ‘Ramayana’, by entering the exact zodiac constellations as described by ‘Maharshi Valmiki’ in ‘Ramayana, while describing the birth of ‘Rama’. As per Indian calender calculations, birthday of ‘Rama’ is on ninth day of Shukla paksha of ‘Chaitra’ Masa and time said to be noon. Thats the date when native Indian community has been celebrating birthday of Rama as “ram navmi’ from the time antiquity. As far as human memory goes back, no country, tradition, tribe, sect or cast on earth has ever celebrated a birthday of any fictitious character for ages and not even once. The Zodiac constellations of the day when ram was born was gloriously described by Seer ‘Valmiki’ . The glorious day was constituted with the zodiac constellation as,
(1) Sun in Aries= surya in mesha, (2)Saturn in Libra= shani in simha, (3)Guru in Karka=Jupiter in cancer, (4) Venus in Pisces= Budha in meena, (5) Mars in capricorn= Mangala in Makara, (6) Lunar month of Chaitra (7) nineth day after no moon (8) Lagna as cancer (cancer was rising in the east, (9) Moon on Punarvasu = Gemini constellation & Pollux star) x) Day time (around noon).
The result yielded was January 10, 5114 BC. HE claims to have purchased some planetarium software and claims the birth date to be accurate. There are thousands of planetarium softwares and some of them are down loadable for free online. So dates determined by this software is quite debatable as it does not match with original date thats been documented in the biography of Rama according to Yuga concept. However I appreciate the attempt and if at all the date is true, I am more than positive to withdraw my statements. As of now I am moving further with discussion, with the assumption, the date revealed by software as inaccurate.
Proving authenticity of history of Rama’
The glorious explanation of birth of Rama was explained in Balakanda of Valmiki Ramayana by following Shloka.
tato yaj~ne samaapte tu R^itUnaam SaT samatyayuH | —-then, ritual, on completion; seasons, six, well, passed by
tataH ca dvaadashe maase chaitre naavamike tithau || 1-18-8 —-then; in twelfth, month; chaitra month;ninth, day

lohitaaksham mahaabaahum rak{}ta oSTam du.ndubhi svanam—-lotus-red, eyes, lengthy, armed, roseate, lips, drumbeat, voiced, Rama as, the son;, was born;
Which can be summarized as:
On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and then in the twelfth month, on the ninth day of chaitra month [April-May,] when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the ruling star of day is punarvasu, the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat, and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who is adored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama.
Theory of co incidents?
Certain and intact is the fact that Mr Valmiki did exist and he did compose all the ramayana in the form of Shloka upon request from Brahma, in the same vedic meter in which he is said to have formed not only his in fact first ever shloka in history of mankind in a language called Sanskrit, which is called Devanagari lipi’ in native Indian community. The question is , Whether someone who had never ever lied in his entire life like Mahirshi Valmiki whose existence of course no body denies would really narrate such a huge saga of lies? Where he explains about the date, planetary positions, stars, zodiac constellations (Kundali), of course according to native Indian calender. Then Mahirshi Valmiki mentions about Sixty three ancestors of Rama, i,e of Ikshwaku dynasty, place of birth Ayodhya, father’s name Dashratha, mother’s name Kaushalya, then wife’s name Sita , age at which and the means by which he got married, his father in law’s name Janaka , mother in law,s name, his step mom,s name Kaikai, Sumitra , sibling,s name Laxman, Bharat, Shatrighna, name of the guy who abducted his wife, Ravan , Name of wife of the guy who abducted his wife Madodari, Place to which that guy belonged ( srilanka Island), name of the place where the guy kept his wife as say prisoner Ashok vatika, route through which they made it to that island (Ramsethu) and the way he constructed it and it does exist. His children, and the list goes on. Can really there be so many co incidents? All the places mentioned above does exist, and so does the bridge and it connects exactly those two parts of land which is explained in historical book Ramayana coincidentally? carbon-dating by NASA proves the bridge is 1.7 million years old. And the same coincidental story is written by many authors like Tulsidas and Kalidada about the same character Rama ? Did we invent the vast and deep language called Sanskrit to write merely a imaginary fairy tale? Which is practically impossible, so if the language did exist it was in use and it was used by people and people did exist. Name of sixty ancestors of any dynasty couldn’t have been possibly written in exactly same manner by more than one author or a poet. Everything that was ever narrated does exist, if at all anything doesn’t exist, its the birth certificate has not been obtained by bribing someone in government office. We are sorry, Such system did not exist in “Ram Rajya’ of Raghuvanshi Rama.
The Fun Part: The fun part is, people who claim not have belief in Rama and Ramayana as a history, wake up when it comes to about criticizing Rama for having sent his wife away from his life and kingdom into forest and for not having trust over his wife. Rama being the ideal king did send his wife away because he wanted to keep his subjects happy and not because he did not trust his wife. He might have also sent her away to keep her away from people’s gossips :-). Even if he did send her all by his own will whats the big deal? History does quote ‘Rama’ as a King with divine qualities and not god himself. This is evident enough to show that “Ramayana’ was not a boy meets girl fairy and upon returning from exile and it does not end with the quote they lived happily ever after.
Documentary of Ramayana also goes further when he meets his children ‘Lava and Kusha‘ he doesn’t recognize them. Why in the world would multiple authors write fiction about ‘Rama’ having sent his pregnant wife to ‘Aranya’ and having twin babies. and their name exactly as ‘lava and Kusha’? Besides Valmiki himself describes in this biography that he himself was a guardian to Rama’s wife Sita and children Lava and Kusha.
Morality:Documentary talks about Rama and his great qualities and also weak moments and talks about Ravana, the great scholar and his mistake. That describing Rama as human being concomitant short comings and encounterer of moral dilemmas who adhere to righteousness and not a supernatural being which makes “Ramayana” historical documentary and not a story of hero and villain. Ramayana illustrates personality traits of Rama as a warrior, as a king and as a husband at certain junctures and still exemplify an ideal man. Native Indian community believes, He did commit such mistakes for the sake of reinforcing basic moral qualities so that we learn from that instead of learning by our own mistakes for its well said by our ancestors, that he who learns from others mistakes is wise and he who learns from his own mistakes is a fool.
Relics of Ravana in Lanka across the sea:
- The Sri Lankan govt claims to have found enough evidence to prove the existence of Ramayana.
Ram Setu a massive and mazing sea route being one of them. It connects Island of manner of north western Srilanka and Island of Rameshwaram as exactly described in Ramayana. And the sanctity place’ Rameshwaram holds. Lord Rama is said to have performed Pooja of lord Shiva after killing Ravana , to free himself from “Brahma Hatya dosha”( Sin of killing Brahman). - The bridge said to have built with stones or small rocks by making them float in water. And till date floating stones are present. Native Indian historical books say that the stones were made to float by carving name of ‘Sri Ram’ on that. Obviously the science used is not revealed and is unknown to modern technological world. Or they may be coral rocks, which of course float in water. Or water has been made denser than the rock.( Note: we cannot simply deny on something we don’t know. We just don’t know how they are made to float. We are yet to figure out).
- Over the time, sea is submerged and, its is known to modern science also that the water lever has come up over Melania.
- The Sri Lankan Govt said to have claimed to found the Ravana’s Mansion.
- Ashoka Vatika, Which was said to be a garden made of all sort of most beautiful flowers and trees has beendiscovered and it is called Sita Ella in local language.
- Ravana’s Palace which is said to be thousands of years old has been recovered.
- The Five Airfields for ‘Pushpak’, Ravans flying machine are said to have found which is said to have resembled helipads of modern world.
- The actual explaination in Ramayana for describing the take-off of Pushpaka is “उत्पपात” which literally means “shot up”. So ‘Pushpaka’ was said to be the vertical take of kind of air craft.
- A multi route tunnel or sub way is said to have existed in the area that was used by Ravan & his accomplices. Such tunnels do exist and the relics of factories of aircrafts manufacturing and repairing are said to have found. The whole ancient structural remains indicates that Ravan was a great scientist & an engineer of his time in addition to being a warrior as explained in Ramayana.
- The mountain by the name of ‘Sapru’ which grows Sanjivni Herb, was said to have transported by air by Hanuman from Himalayas, which was left in Lanks, is still there without any vicinity of mountainous terrain. The herbs have been regularly growing since then and used by local people. After having used herbs for their treatment purpose & after getting healed up they do visit Hanuman’s statue to convey offerings and gratitude. Search still said to be on by the scientists for the Sanjivni.
- Srilankan sources lately said to have reported the incident of recovering dead body of “ravana’ by a seventy year old treasure hunter in the cave.
- Srilankan government said to have been paying pension to Ravana’s descendants.
I am going to the extent of digging up the relics for Ravana to justify the existence of Rama, Such a cliche.
Other Foreign references:
- In a Thailand there said be a place called Ayodhya and king of that place is said to be ‘Ram’.( information originally published in a column in rediff)
- Indonesia is said to have taken the reference of Ramayana as a proof about a certain island belonging to their territory while obtaining freedom from Dutch. Vanar sena is said to have searched for sita in sumatra and surrounding islands for ‘Sita’ before going to Lanka.
Native Referances: Other than, all the proof available like, Aydhya the birth place of Rama, Ram navmi his birthday, Rama’s folks, his exile, his marriage, abduction of his wife and rescue saga, abductor of his wife, place to which abductor belonged belonged, how he traveled,….. etc etc, we have
- Small town in Rajashtan in India called “Mandor” which was said to have been capital city of old Jodhpur state, to which Ravan’s wife Mondodari belonged her father being king Mayasura the architect of today’s Tripura and mother being Hema. People of this town Still pay their condolence to their Son- In-Law Ravan On the day of Dashahara and pay shrads ( the homage to dead kins) and don’t burn effigies contradictory to entire Indian common code for the festival Dashahara. Many descendants of Ravana are said to have migrated to this place after the death of Ravana.
Modern historical references of Ram sethu:
- The bridge was first mentioned in historical works in the 11th century, mentioned by Alberuni Ibn Khodadbeh in his Book of Roads and Kingdom in 850 AD andhe called it Set Bandhai or “Bridge of the Sea”
- The famous 12th century Venetian traveller Marco Polo’s travel map shows that he has travelled around Rama’s bridge area. His travel book calls this area as Setabund-Rameswara. which means bridge constructed at Rameswaram.
- Maps prepared by Netherland cartographer in 1747, available at Tanjore Saraswati mahal library shows this area as Ramancoil, a colloquial form of the Tamil Raman Kovil I.e. Rama’s Temple.
- Another map of Mogul India prepared by J.Rennel in 1788 retrieved from the same library called this area as the area of the Rama Temple.
- Many other maps in Schwartzberg’s historical atlas and other sources call this area with various names like Koti, Sethubandha, Sethubandha Rameswaram etc.
- Valmiki Ramayan called the bridge built by Lord Rama as Setu Bandhanam in Shloka 2-22-76.
- The earliest map that calls this area as Adam’s bridge was prepared by British cartographer in 1804.
Ancient historical references of Ram and Ramayana.
As per ancient Indian chronology Ramayana belongs to ‘Trata yuga’ a great age. Other than Ramayana, the references of Ramayana are said to have appeared in other ancient literatures like ‘Vayu Purana, Harivash, Garuda purana, Mahabharata, Brahmad purana etc.
Variant versions of Ramayana:
In India Valmiki Ramayana written by Valmiki in Sanskit being the oldest, We have Kamban Ramayana written by Kamban around 12 century CE in tamil, Ramacharit Manas by Tulsidas in 16th century which is also called Tulsi Ramayana, Ramayana by Gujrati poet Premanad, Krittivas Ramayana in Bengoli by poet Krittivas in 14th century, Balramdasa Ramayana in orissa by Balram Das in 16th century, Ramayan By Sridhara in 18th century in Marathi in 18th century, Ranganatha Ramayanam in telgu by Ranganatha in 15th century, Ramayana in kannada by Narahari in 16th century, Assamese poet wrote Kotha ramayana in 14th century by Madhava Kandali, malayalam Ramayana Adhyatma ramayana kalipattu, in 16th century by Thunchaththu Ejhuthachan.
Other than these we have Punjabi Ramayana Ramavatara by Guru Gobind Singh, Kashmiri version Ramavatara chaitra written in 19th century by Prakash ram, Tulsi krita Ramayana, an adoption of Ramacharit manas, adaption of Ranganatha Ramayanam by budha reddy in Telgu, A jain version Kumbudenu Ramayana in Kannada a literature of 13 th century, Kumara valmiki torve Ramayana in Kannada a literature of 16 th century, Ramachanda Charita purana of 13 th century by Nagachandra, Pothi Ramayana of urdu language of 17th century.
Non Indian virsions:
Turkish Ramayana called Kothani Ramayana and Tibetian Ramayana without any Buddhist influence. Other than these the is a research journal in Chinese by a Chinese traveler called Journey to the west.
Other than these we have innumerable number of versions still in Sanskrit by Kalidasa, bhasa etc as well as in other languages.
Why Ramsethu should not be destroyed:
- First of all its a national monument; Probably the oldest national monument available. It is a relic of of highest important chapter of native Indian civilization.
- It should not be destroyed for the same reason why Taj mahal, kutub minar, char minar, gateway of India …. etc cannot be destroyed.
- It also cannot be destroyed for the same reason why monuments like, golden gate bridge, london pridge, Pisa tower, pyramids, statue of liberty ….. etc around the world cannot be destroyed.
- Doesn’t matter if anyone wants to believe it or not. Native Indian community doesn’t have to prove their historicity to anyone. Doesn’t matter if its proved or not, no one is authorized to deny or question the authenticity of native Indian relics, history, culture, tradition and existence of native indian civilization in India.
- Ram Setu symbolizes the bridge between faith and a logical, scientific and rational understanding of India , its legends and beyond.
Analogy of idiocracy:
10,000 from now Mount Rushmore might look really old and would probably somewhat unclear. how does it sound, if me being immigrant resident in US challenge their monument saying, where is proof that it was man made? where is the proof that so many presidents existed who looked exactly like that? No thats a natural rock formations and not man made. wouldn’t I look like a … whatever? If at all some of native Americans did support me, how would they look like?
Point today:
I am sure none of us have even six of our ancestors name, so when we have names of more than sixty rulers, does any one need more proof of existence of King Rama? Read ‘Ramayana’. And who knows we might come up with the descendant of Rama someone amongst us, upon making DNA match?
Truly speaking its not about proving the historicity of our ancient ruler Ram, but its all about disproving it for some ulterior motive and is a part of some master minded game probably for the same reason why the fake Aryan invasion theory was planted. However upon disproving it the question was put onto immediate previous civilization ( around time of mahabharata) upon proving which question mark being put onto civilization previous to that. Its probably upon the intolerance of the fact that such an old civilization did exist in that part and authenticity of which proves the ignorance of rest. India being the land of affluence and rich culture attracted and bothered people around. So there has been many effort to make them feel inferior and make them disbelieve in their own traditions, science, culture and way of life. But hey no one ever kicks a dead dog huh?
Native Indian civilization which is called ‘Sanatana Dharma’ in native Indian language has been giving refuge to invaders from the time unknown, many neighboring counties are proof of the same. Most consistent, most tolerant most large hearted, now sounding like little coward to let its glory go with the whirlpool of so called modern generation.
I hope the information provided above does help as a ray of dawn to those native civilians who were deprived of the knowledge of glory of their origin and their past.
Note: Because of time and space constraint it has not been possible for me to complete this article with the kind of contents I actually intended to complete it with. My efforts to do so left me in maelstrom of depth of the subject, For India is not merely a geographical area, but a state of mind.
Very strange article, espacially the Akhand Bharat map.
Truth always seemed strange to strange crowd.
The map would be useful on Wikipedia Encyclopedia. What is its Copyright status?
Nice Artcle,
One question, Is Lakshadweep Island not part of Akhand Bharat?
lakshadweep island is a part of india….
Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for the complements and thanks for visiting the blog. Keep visiting. Well its a very good question. I didn’t realize it was not in the map so far. Probably I would change the map and put it back. Thanks for bringing it up. However When I tried going through some of prehistoric maps, I realized some other islands were also declared. Will come up with an extended article including all that I left out and geographical improvement.
Thanks
Dear Author…
My Name is S.PRABAVAGURU… Am from Tamil Nadu… wel i saw ur Article of Proving the authenticity of native Indian civilization in India. Its Excellent… feeling canot be expressed through words, am in the same situation after reading ur Article… Do u know from the past 6 Months am Searching such information & now u cleared 75% of my Doubt… dear friend trillions of thanks for such a Great task. to say thanks is not enough But what to do i must say this. thank u so much for posting this … this is my email ID (aum_sakthi_aum@yahoo.co.in ) … God Bless u for ever… Jai Sree Ram very much happy for this work . so once again thanks
Hi meeti, thats a nice article.
Thats why i feel so sorry about our india. we were so great. now barbarians who in the name of god who killed many people, now claim to be our masters and speak of humanity and culture and they claim to teach us civilization. something should be done otherwise we will be doomed like persians, egyptians etc… But what can we do our education system still teaches us abt aryan invasion theory. How do we change this. May be its time for the god to come once again.
@ Srinuthename – Thanks for the compliments and visiting on article. Keep visiting. Well I know there are loop holes in the system. I believe we need a good leader who can respect and understand the origin of our land and try to retain the glory. That can be a baby step towards regaining glory.
Akhand Bharat JAI
@ aga- Thanks for visiting. Well Akhand bharat is not a reality anymore. At least we should try to keep Bharat together and say Bharat JAI.
Sad – Akhand Bharat is no longer a reality. But look at the bright side – The country would be prone to a lot more attacks from Extremist if never divides.
Perhaps some of Akhand Bharat could be re-united, however it seems nearly impossible now. Greater India went even further, take a look at the map on my link:
@ Josh- Well I like the map and thanks for sharing that one. And I think, We should more concentrate on protecting and saving the land than we already have and what we call India. More aggressive moves have to be made towards Kashmir and try to take illegally occupied territory.
Nice one, i have been searching for similar articles …. A
@ Naveen,
Thanks for visiting the blog keep coming with suggestions.
Interesting artical. But very brief. No conclusive evidance about anything. I would like to add few things about so called Ram Shetu. As discribed in Ramayana, First of all it was not built by Rama, Second it was not built of rocks or small rocks and third the archeological discription of this bridge can no way fit into current proposed site of so called Ram Setu. Please do not be mad at this comment. I am willing to show evidances, that may contradict to lots of popular belief about Ram Setu. Feel free to contact me.
Prakash.
Mr Roy,
Thanks for visiting the site. Keep coming. Well I sure am not mad at the comment. All kinds of decent and genuine compliments, comments, negative comments and corrections are most welcome. Well first of all, When I said it was built by Prince Rama, I mean to say it was under the his supervision, when I mean to say it was made of rocks,( al though I am unable e to produce a paper written proof about it) the water level is said to have been very low making the lower edge of soil very reachable. Like which could have been just made available to walk just by filling it with some sort of mud or small rocks. This however is very much a possibility, as a gps team developed software does depict the water level that low, Which unfortunately happens to be a classified software and I cannot produce it on my site currently. Archeological, historical desciption of this bridge does fit into that location. However if produced a genuine proof I am more than happy to take my statements back. Please furnish those details if you think its possible.
Thanks
Dear Meethi,
That is so sweet and nice of you to respond to my comment. I will just come to the point.
If you read Valmiki’s Ramayana and as the story says, in yuddha kanda, chapter 21 and 22, It is clearly discribed that when Rama heard about Sita, he got very anxious and since had no way to cross the sea between India and Sri lanka or obviously did not want to go alone to fight Ravana but wanted to take whole army with him, so first he bags to Sea and then threaten the Sea to dry it up. The SEA had a better suggetion. Guess what, Sea talks to Rama and tells him to call NALA, who is an architaque and an enginieer: to build a bridge. Nala was just an engineer and so he tells Rama to order his army to work as loberer for Nala.
Next, In chapter 22 as you read further, this bridge was build from wood , trees and rope. Big rocks were used only to hold water back temporarily or to pin down wood logs/pile in water to make piller for the bridge. Which, for all the readers information, is an ancient(not prehistoric!!!) Roman bridge building tachnique.
Next, As the story goes further, this bridge was suppose to be 100 Yojana long. Which means it was atlleast 1300 km long. It is noteworthy that by all the Hindu scholars 1 Yojana is considered to be 13 -16 km. So now go on google map and try to fit 1300 km long and 130 km wide bridge between India and Sri lanka.
Iti Shiddhum.
Sincerely,
your friend,
Prakash Roy.
Mr Roy,
Thanks again for visiting and for the valuable information you have furnished out. When it comes to the bridge building story, I did know about these, rather I would say I had read those, however I inferred my own conclusions to make it more authentic. But it did not happen. Than you very much for correcting and for helping me and readers with more genuine information.
My Name is S.PRABAVAGURU from Tamil NAdu… Its Excellent Excellent Friend… Great Task… thousands of thanks for posting such a Great Article… for the 6 Months am Searching this… ohh thanks God… & thanks to u… thank u so much. i will save all this from ur site & share this with my friends…
Dear Aothor 75 % of my Doubt is Cleared now i wanat to now Remain… plz contact to me in this ID … i have lots of Doubt… plz tell me… what is ur mail ID. am searching Answer for such Question
as sri krishna said already that even he discloed the truth to arjuna ,still he is in dilemma and later asks bhisma pithamaha to reveal the truth to pandavas ( we represent them ). what i mean to say is u can only tell the way to the blind , but cannot show it ( like our friends Mr.Roy and many many more ..)
Hari Om,
Thanks for visiting. Well I would say, we want to welcome everyone’s opinion and rationalize it. As our history is authentic, we dont have to be worried.
Please keep visiting
Hi,
Iam Ajay from Kerala. This article is really great because i started searching for the photos of ravana’s fort as well as the photos or places related to Ramayana. To some extend i was able to gather the information. You have mentioned (Srilankan sources lately said to have reported the incident of recovering dead body of “ravana’ by a seventy year old treasure hunter in the cave) in the article. Is there any photos or could you please tell me where you got this information. Is it from any books or travelleres diary? Please reply
Ajay
Ajay,
Thanks for visiting my site. Well I do know few books and there have been archiological papers about it I will reply with them in my next reply. Keep visiting
Thanks
Hello,
I really appreciate your effort in putting together this article. However i just wanted to say that there are a few mistakes in your map. Andaman and lakshadweep are a part but you dint include them. Also nepal has also historically been a part of akhand bharat. Nepal is officially known as the only hindu state in the world now.
Very Good article !
This will increase faith of Indians
Keep going….
Thank You for efforts…
Sri Rama Sethu measured in Yojan is shown in the diagram below.
As per Ramayana, Sethu was 100 Yojan long, 10 Yojan wide. (Yojan=1.34km)
To assess the measurement Ten Square Blocks each of 10 Yojan, are placed side by side to form a curve. Map of Sethu super imposed by the 100 yojan blocks shows the original shape and size of Sethu when built (Pink Blocks).
The first 3 days work 55 Yojan, is marked on the map. It starts from the present Ramnadu or Ramananta Puram and ends at Danushkodi.
4th day work, 55 to 77, a distance of 22 yojan floating bridge. The present Adams Bridge, from Danushkodi to Talaimanar.
5th and final day work, 77 to 100, a distance of 23 yojan solid bridge, from present Talimanar to Manar in Sri Lanka.
Ramayana says the Sethu is like Swatipadam, a set of 9 Nakhitras (set of stars). (Magha, Puba, Uttara, Chitta, Swathi, Visakha, Anuradha, Jeshta) Swatipadam is shown above Sethu in the fig. as seen from Earth. (Order is from right to left.)
It is astonishing to note that the Mynak Parvat is located at Swati Nakshatram the single and brightest star in the swatipadam.
The solid bridge starts at Jeshta representing earth work and stops at Chitra where the Hindu lunar calendar starts. Indicating new type of structure.
The floating bridge, fourth day work starts at Hasta (Stars are placed like fingers in hand) indicating pillar structure and ends at Uttara (continue).
The Sethu was eroded by sea waves and seasonal floods in the last 17,50,000 years. The present leftover Sethu after erosion is marked yellow in the fig.
