Guest guest Posted September 12, 2005 Report Share Posted September 12, 2005 dear sri kadrudra namste.The two sites referred by you on dating of Ramayana and Mahabharata war contain well researched information worthy to be noted by any Hindu. Evidently,the astronomical method used by ancient rishis to record historical events through planetary and star positions appears to be the best method available.Now I can see that the chart of Sri Rama can be cast with accuracy. That of Hanuman, may also be possible if one searches Valmiki Ramayan for possible clues. Thanks for throwing light on this point. regards satya --- kadrudra <kadrudra wrote: > Dear friend, > > Thanks for your post.
