Guest guest Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Sairam to the Sai Family, A brief introduction about this RAMA bridge… which is mentioned in Ramayana… When Ravana abducted Sita (Lord Rama’s wife)… Rama goes searching her… and Hanuman finds out that Sita is in Lanka(present day Srilanka).. on the way to Lanka, Lord Rama comes across a big ocean (Indian Ocean), which He found to be an obstacle to reach Lanka… Hanuman takes initialization to built a bridge across the ocean with the help of Vanara sena (the monkey army), each and every vanara carried stones and built the bridge…(probably it was the first ever bridge built on earth ….. but pity not as famous as the London bridge!!!)… Another interesting incident that happened in the making of this bridge was a small squirrel carried small stones, and played her role in making this bridge dream come true… Impressed by her devotion, Lord Rama took the tiny squirrel in His hand and put His three fingers on it… (people believe the black(slightly brownish) lines which we see on the squirrels today are nothing but the finger prints of Lord Rama….must be true) May be that is why Swamy sometimes says Whatever seva you do Uduta(squirrel in Telugu) Bhakti tho cheyandi(do the seva like the squirrel from the heart).any ways Finally the bridge was built across the ocean and Rama could cross the bridge with His devouted Vanara Sena…. Just now I saw an interesting news about this bridge in NDTV India (an Indian based News channel)…. It reports… according to the latest pictures taken by NASA, it confirms that the bridge still exists!!!! In the area which divides India and Srilanka (now know as PALK STRAIT) Isn’t interesting…. They showed the pictures taken by the satellite… which was mesmerizing to me….. That’s a great news, especially when there is a hot debate whether Ramayana and Mahabharatha really happened or it is a myth… a fairy tale…. This is very interesting fact and I think its for the second time that NASA has given such interesting spiritual pictures… the first one being appearance of Swamy’s photo(taken in the 70s) in Puttaparthi area ( people who have come to parthi might have seen this footage in the Chaitanya Jyothi Museum)… I think the latest news about the bridge will be in the print media in a day or two… people who have access to this news in detail… pls post the news and share with this sai family…... as it seems really really interesting…….

The evidence, say experts matter-of-factly, is in the Digital Image Collection. The recently discovered bridge, currently named as Adam's Bridge and made of a chain of shoals, 30 km long, in the Palk Straits between India and Sri Lanka, reveals a mystery behind it. The bridge's unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man-made. Legend as well as archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge's age is also almost equivalent.The Ramayana was supposed to have taken place 1,700,000 years ago in the thretha yuga. - NASA releases pictures of India-Lanka bridge NDTV CorrespondentFriday, July 1, 2005 (Washington): Every child who's heard the Ramayana is aware that Ram built a bridge of rocks across the sea to reach Lanka.And now, NASA has released satellite pictures, which indicate that such a bridge does exist.Recently discovered in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka, the bridge has been named Adam's Bridge.Made of a chain of shoals, it is 30 km long.

Guest guest Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Satish brother is this the same picture where Lord Rama with the help of Hannuman is helping to build the bridge in question. If this is the one then is true what a exciting and interesting news. Sister Tara (Canada).
