Actual dates of the life time of Lord Ram

[Guest guest]

incidentallymentioned the position of planets in the sky at different places.

For instance, the position of all the planets (visible with unaided eye) has

beenmentioned for the date of birth of Lord Ram. Later, while mentioning that

Lord Ram was sent to exile for 14 years on his 25th birthday, the position of

planets in the sky has been mentioned again for that day. Moving forward, it

has been stated that on the amavasya (no moon day) of the 10th month of the

13th year of his exile he fought a battle with Khar and Dushan and on that day

a solar eclipse was seen from Panchwati. Not only a solar eclipse occurred but

the planets were arranged in the sky in a particular manner. Going ahead, he

mantions that six months later when Ram killed Bali on the Amavasya of Ashad of

the 14th year of exile, another solar eclipse was visible in the morning sky and

after five months when hanuman went to meet Sita at Lanka, a lunar

eclipse was witnessed in the evening. Besides these several other planetary

positions have also been mentioned at different other places.It is imporatant

to know that planetary positions keep changing every day in the sky and they do

not repeat for Lakhs of years!! Moreover, if we know the position of all the

planets in the sky, then they refer to one and only one date in history.The

effort to provide dates to the planetary positions mentioned in Ramayana and

other vedic literature began with legendary Bal Gangadhar Tilak in his well

known book 'Orion'. However, the efforts made so far werebased on manual

computations. Since one revolution of these planets is completed in a highly

complex fractional number, it is difficult to arrive at the accurate day and

time in history. But in late 90s many software were developed to track the

position of planets in the sky and with these software, planets' position at

any

given point of time in the sky can beknown.By using a powerful planetarium

software, I found that the planetary positions mentioned in Ramayana for the

date of birth of Lord Ram had occurred in the sky at around 12.30 p.m. of 10th

January 5114 BC. It was theninth day of the Shukla Paksh of Chaitra month too.

Moving forward, after 25 years of the birth of Lord Ram, the position of

planets in the sky tallies with their description in Ramayana. Again, on the

amavasya of the 10th month of the 13th year of exile the solar eclipse had

indeed occurred and the particular arrangement of planets in the sky was

visible. ( Date comes to 7th October 5077 BC). Even the occurrence of

subsequent two eclipses also tally with the respective description in Valmiki

Ramayan. (Date of hanuman'smeeting Sita at Lanka was 12th September 5076 BC).

In this manner the entire sequence of the planetary positions gets verified and

all the

dates can be precisely determined.The entire dating has been conducted

objectively because the software does not permit any manipulation and the

verses of Ramayana are also free of anydoubts. Leading scientists and those in

this field have appreciated this work. Since the entire sequence tallies, it

proves that all the observations in theRamayana were actual recordings and not

conjectures.The indologist suggested that I should have some archaeological

evidence in support of these dates because for western historians these dates

are too old to be accepted! By god's grace I came across an interesting

archaeological evidence also and I give it's details in forthcoming paras.About

a few months back NASA had photographed an ancient bridge like structure between

India and Sri Lanka and stated that it appeared to be manmade. Most of our

historians and theologists jumped on the story and said it was related to

Lord Ram. Later on NASA denied having made any statement as to how the bridge

got built etc. The enthusiasm died soon and nothing could be conculded since we

were trying to prove that it was built millions of years ago.Just analyse the

situation. Suppose you build your house with stones, which are millions of

years old - Does your house also becomes millions of years old?Answer is a

clear 'No'.This was the mistake we were making while trying to claim the

ancient bridge and the antiquity of Lord Ram to millions of years ago.

Actually, the remains of the bridge, which Lord Ram had built are still

available at a place called ' Chedu Karai' in Tamil Nadu. 'Chedu' means 'Setu'

( bridge) and 'Karai' means 'corner'. Interestingly, these remains of the

bridge are available at the depth of about 10 feet below the water and these

are about 1.5 kilometer inside the sea.We are all aware that the rise of sea

level,

ever since the end of the last ice age (about 16000 BC), is a continuous

phenomenon. There is scientific unanimity today that at the end of the last Ice

age (which lasted about 1,20,000 Years) the sea level was about 120 meters below

the present level. After that, earth entered the warming phase and Ice started

melting. The level of sea started rising. The most interesting thing here is

that the depth of sea between India and Sri Lanka is just 6-13 meters. It is

not more than 13 meters deep at any place. Hence, at the end of last Ice age

(16000 BC) India and Sri Lanka were connected by land. The sea level started to

rise gradually and again the scientific data suggests that it reached the level

of 14 meters as late as 8000 Years ago. This clearly means that what we call as

Palk Strait today came into existence only around 6000 BC. Water rose to a level

where it was seen above the shallow land between India and Sri

Lanka only around 6000 BC. The data is correct to the extent of +/- 1500 years.

It is all available at the website of National Geophysical Data Centre, USA.

Hence, if the narration in Ramayana is to be believed that Rama's army crossed

the sea to reach Lanka, it has to be an event of Post 6000 BC era.Further, the

precise level at which the `remains of the bridge' built by Lord Rama can be

measured and exact date of building the bridge can be ascertained because the

rate of rise of sea level is known now very precisely. All these findings have

been published as a book titled "Dating the era of Lord Ram" (By Rupa & Co,

Delhi). Hope you would the information interesting. I am sure you would have

questions on the subject. I shall be glad to answer the same. My e mail

The same Ramayan that gives the planetary descriptions (on which the

calculation is based on) also tells that Lord Ram came in Treta yug.

Matasya purana (47/240,243-246) gives more detail of various

decensions and says Bhagwan Ram appeared at the end of 24th treta yug.

Currently, 28th Kali yug is in effect according to our scriptures.

Various purans give the period of yug cycles also. This gives the

period of Lord Ram approx. 18 million years ago.

 

The palentary positions mentioned in Ramayan would also have occured

multiple times in history prior to the calculated date...

Moreover the date calculated is heavily dependent on interpretation

of sanskrit verses and softwares or method of calculation. Thats why

every other persons gives his own date with day/month/year and time.

 

If we have to beleive the historicity of Lord Ram because of Ramayan

then we should also beleive that he appeared in treta yug, because

the same scripture says so.

Dear Readers, namaste,

 

Actully in the cycle of Satya, Trata, Dvapara and

Kaly that reocure like the the 4 seasons the Lord

reaprears in His specific vorms as per Yuga. In Satya

as Kapila deva, In trta as Lord Rama, in Dvapara as

Lord Krishna and in Kaly-yuga as Kalky avatara. This

happesn evry time again and again.

 

As Lord Brahma's day is 1000 of these maha-yuga's they

appear a 1000 times each per day of Brahma. 999 of

these avatara's are expansions of Visnu directly but

once a day of Brahma they appear in their full

original forms and descend from the Spiritual realm

Vaikuntha dhama.Each time they come they have the same

lila in general but with chancing details. This also

explains that sometimes we here different versions of

a similar story. This again because they have taken

place in differnt yuga's.

 

Lord rma appeared in the Last Treta Yuga and performed

his lila about 1.2 miljion years back for the last

time untill now. After this Kaliyuga there again will

be a satya yuga and again a treta yuga in which Lord

Rama will again appear.

 

This Rama will again be a direct expansion of Visnu.

 

kind Regards,

 

Svarupa
