Guest guest Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Sanjayji, Skanda Purana Book III Brahma Khand Section II: Dharmaranya-Khand Chapter 30 Sloka 12. In the twenty-seventh year of Rama, even as the King was to crown him heir apparent to the throne, Kaikeyi requested him for two boons. Slokas 13 - 14. With one of them Rama accompanied by Sita and Laksmana was to go in exile wearing matted hair, for fourteen years* "May my Bharata be the heir apparent" was the seocnd boon. It was due to being deluded by Manthara's words that she chose this boon. _________ * Valmiki Ramayana II.11.26a - 27b states that Kaikeyi wanted only Rama to be banished. "may Rama be an ascetic in the Dandaka forest for fourteen years. Sita and Laksmana were not mentioned. I had a look at my copy of Tulasidas' Sri Ramacharitamanasa, and it does not state which age he went in exile. [Ram came to Nandigram on vaishakh shukl 6th and became king on next day. SEETA was 35 and RAM was 42 at that time.] This timing seems to be out of sync.

Check specifically if it is 22nd year or 27th year for vanvas.This is crucial in evaluation of strengths and our understanding. I always thought Rama went in His 25th year (alternative-2) but maybe wrong and stand to be corrected. That is the spirit of truth in seeking the truth in Jyotish. We should not hesitate to admit mistakes and correct our understanding. Understanding the strengths in Moola dasa is very tough. According to me the calculations should be Alternative -1 Moon 10 years Jupiter 11 years ----------------------- 21 years Saturn 14 years (Vanvas) - 35 years Rajyoga 2 SUN coronation 36 year Now as per this the reding can be Alternative -2 Moon 10 years Jupiter 11 years ----------------------- 21 years Mars 3 --------------------------- 24 years Saturn 14 years (Vanvas) - 38 years Rajyoga 2 SUN coronation 40 year Alternative-3 (matches Skanda Purana) Moon 10 years Jupiter 11 years ----------------------- 21 years Mars 3 --------------------------- 24 years Sun 2 ---------------------------- 26 years Saturn 14 years (Vanvas) - 40 years Venus 12 52 year ~ om tat sat ~ Yours truly, Sanjay Rath --------------------------- H-5, B.J.B Nagar, Bhubaneswar 751014, India, +91-674-2436871 http://srath.com --------------------------- aokedia [anilkedia (AT) indiatimes (DOT) com] Tuesday, July 15, 2003 1:40 PM vedic astrology [vedic astrology] EVENT DETAILS OF SHREE RAM Dear Friends RAM KRISHN HARE >From SKAND PURAN(brahm khand-dharmarany mahatmy),here are some details about SHREE RAM In 27th year RAM went to forest and stayed at Panchvati for 12.5 years. On Magh krishn 8,Seeta-haran took place. SEETA remained separated from RAM for 14 months and 10 days. HANUMAN burned lanka on margshirsh shukla 13. RAM started on margshirsh krishn 8,exact mid-day in vijay muhurt. Vibhishan met RAM on paush shukl 4. Setu-bandhan started on 10th and completed in 4 days on paush shukl 14. War started on magh shukl 2 and lasted till chaitr krishn 14 for 87 days. Ram came to Nandigram on vaishakh shukl 6th and became king on next day. SEETA was 35 and RAM was 42 at that time. BTW, as per observed tradition,Ravan was killed on Vijya-dashmi and SHREE RAM returned back on Diwali. These festivals are selebrated to remember these events since that time and named after these events. Dash-hara and vijaya-dashmi both means defeat of Ravan and Victory of SHREE RAM. Similarly rows of oil lamps were made to selebrate HIS arrival and hence the name DEEPAVALI. Above details do not match with traditional one and hence they may not be for present kalp.There are many more details about some minor events which I have skipped. some of them do not have complete information.
