[Guest guest]

Dear All,

In one of my researches I have theoritically discovered the exact location of the Lanka of Ravana mentioned in Ramayana which is certainly not modern Sri Lanka.I need the help of a deep sea diving archaeologist for the Lanka of Ravana has submerged under the Indian ocean.I have e-mailed to many archaeologists including Dr.S.R.Rao seeking their help to practically discover the submerged Lanka of Ravana.I never received any response from anyone till date.Is there any such deep sea archaeologist in any of this groups?

Tracing evidences of Lord Ram continues --

The Ramayana Trail

 

 

 

 

 

by: ajitkeshav

 

 

 

Sri Lankan Govt has identified some 50 sites associated with the epic Ramayana and many tour operators are enchasing on these through sightseeing tours to rediscover this Trail of Ramayana to attract tourists from India and other parts of the world.

 

Ramayana symbolizes Rama as “Maryada Purushottama” -

a Perfect Man. An epitome of Ideology, Principles and “Dharma”.

Sita as ideal women of virtue and the ultimate commitment as a wife.

 

An Ideal Son, King, Deciple, Brother, Friend and above all a perfect Husband. An example of patience, Justice and Logic symbolising defeat of good over evil

 

For many it might be just an epic of myth, History or Mystery. However we cannot deny the fact that Ramayana is a part of Culture and literature for Indians, Sri Lankans and all Hindus across the world.

 

Most of the sites associated with Ramayana are dotted around the cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka. However only a few are accessible by road which are scattered across Karunegala, Dombulla, Sigiriya, Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Bandarawela & Ratnapura.

 

Some important highlights include:

 

Pussellawa - Home of 18 feet statue of Anjaneear. The famous temple situated on a hill over looking the Kotmale reservoir area is visited by thousands of devotees from India & Sri Lanka.

 

Sita Amman Temple - Located enroute to Hakgala along the Nuwara Eliya Badulla Road on your way to the Hakgala Botanical Gardens. Ancient statues of Rama and Sita can be seen on a side of the temple. The rear of the temple overlooks a stream, while from its front can be seen the Hakgala peaks.

The Hakgala Botanical Garden - is said to be one of the pleasure gardens of King Ravana. This garden was expanded during the British period and has a wide variety of flowers including an excellent collection of orchids.

 

This is the exotic pleasure garden where king Ravana kept the depressed Sita, insisting that she marry him.

 

It was here where the heart-warming meeting took place between her and Hanuman, who brought her Rama’s ring with the news that Rama was looking for her. He offered to carry her back but she refused saying it would be an insult to Rama’s honour if he did so.

 

Part of this majestic garden still exists. It is also said that Hanuman nearly destroyed it in order to prove to Ravana of the forces against him

 

 

Isthripura: This exotic cave still boasts the picturesque cascading waterfall that was in existence 2000 years ago. It was within this cave that Sita was held prisoner with over 1500 women to attend to her every need.

 

Divurumpola Temple: Although this Vihara is said to be established in the 6th A.D. Polonnaruwa period it has a long history among people of having been started in the time of Rama, Ravana and Sita.

Still revered by thousands, this holy haven was the place where Sita performed her Agni Pariksha (proving her chastity) to her husband Rama. Continuing the practice for over thousands of years, villagers still pledge their fidelity or take oaths there and even in certain courts, this agreement was binding.

 

Since that time this place has been respected and worshiped by people down the ages. Furthermore it is said that this place was given the name “Divurumpola” or the place of making a wow. Not only in legends but this name has been inscribed in the moonstone guarding the Devale in the premises.

 

 

Ella: A small mountain near Bandarawela, boasts three locations linked to the Ramayana where, local legend dictates, Ravana hid Sita. First there is Ravana Ella Cave, situated in the massive Ella Rock. Then there is Ravana Ella Falls and a nearby pool bored out of the rock by the gushing waters where Sita is said to have bathed.

 

Sitawaka: Situated near Avissawella on a tributary of the Kelani Ganga (river). Not surprisingly it derives its name from Sita, who is supposed to have been imprisoned by Ravana in a grove in this neighbourhood.

 

Kelaniya Raja Maha Viharaya: a temple built in the 3rd century B.C. Kelaniya was one of the three places visited by the Buddha during his visits to Sri Lanka. Kelaniya is also the centre for traditional Sinhala pottery.

 

Within the Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara Temple is special shrine dedicated toVibushana, king Ravana’s brother, who allied with Rama in the struggle to rescue Sita.

 

During this trail of Ramayana the tours also takes you across some of the most interesting World Heritage Sites

Let me guess what went wrong. Just like here, you told them of your big

discovery without the slightest beginning of proof. So they decided

this was the umpteenth crank who believed he had found Atlantis or the

Holy Grail or, in this case, the sites of the Ramayana. So they decided

not to waste time on you. Maybe you are not a crank, just a little

inexperienced inscientific comunication. In that case you should learn

from your mistake and try again after collecting the normally required

amount of evidence.

 

Kind regards,

Dear Dr. Venkatakrishnan,I've always thought that Lanka was in what is now theMurwara Basin, above Jabalpur. -- Thugee country.I've been told that Ravana is still worshipped there.Kathie B..

[Guest guest]

Dear Ms.Katherine Brobek,

No, according to my research Lanka of Ravana is located on the equator and Srilanka is not Lanka of Ravana.There are ample evidences for this especially from the Puranas and Ithihasas.

Hello all Actually, Lanka is nothing but the present day Srilanka itself. Since Rama lived in treta yuga i.e. more than 20 Lacs of years from now, and these 20 Lacs of years, many land displacements might have occured because of earhquakes and Tsunamis.

We can not be too sure of this. For example, Aryabhatta denies this

kind of argument.

 

On the other hand,The pros and cons of fixing the date of Ramayan are

many. I, for one thinks, the statement of 24th Treta Yuga is more of

a symbolism, since Ramayan is traditionally connected with Gayatri

mantra, which is symbolised by number 24.

 

Some people compare it with Mahabharat, but it is more or less easier

to fix the date of events of Mbh - at least within a range of 1500

years or so. If you think this range is too large, you should

reconsider since, no such range is possible for Ramayan.

 

First and foremost, there is no internal evidence pointing to the

date of Ramayan, unlike Mahabharat.

 

Secondly, Mbh is a composite whole, inspite of its layered growth

over several centuries, growing over the core poem Jayam. You can not

say the same thing about Ramayan.

 

For eg., even the traditionalists argue vehemently that the first and

last kandas were not composed by Valmiki at all.

 

The traditional evidence presented by say, the genealogies of puranas

or even, the Nepalese Royal families, do not place Rama anywhere

after the traditional daing of Mahabharat, leave alone the

archaeological date.

 

More over, the dating of composition of Ramayan itself is

controversial. It is placed any where from late vedic age to just

before the modification of Mbh composition (1st c).

 

While the historicty of Rama can be easily arged based on internal

evidence, it is extremely difficult to fix Sri Rama in history, as I

see it.

It is known as Tectonic movement , and continental drift.

 

Dr. Bhattacharya.

[Guest guest]

yes Mr.Bhattacharya, you are correct. It is known as continenatal drift. The outer layer of the earth is divided into several parts and each part is called as a tectonic plate. And each of these plates are so large that some 2 or 3 continents form a single plate. These tectonic plates are floating on a layer of hard rocks. When there are sudden movements of these plates, the plates collide with one another and produce earthquakes. And these plate movements only cause the continental drifts.

Geophysicists and geographers and geologists can determine the period when present day island landmass of Sri Lanka was coincident with the equator.

The averments of the Ramayana indicate that the land mass of Sri Lanka had already broken off from the Indian sub-continental part (Deccan) of the Gondwana main land. That such separation was only of a kilometer or two wide (as much as river Mahanadi of today at cuttack). It was not a river. It was the sea in-between. It could be that during this phase the temporary load structured bund-bridge was done.

A definite date is possible to be derived thanks to various soft wares available today. Currently, it may be of interest to note that India is inching away from Sri Lanka @ 2 cm per annum.

Dear Mr.Deepak Bhattacharya,

Modern Srilanka is not at all Lanka of Ravana mentioned in Ramayana by Maharshi Valmiki, it is totally different.According to Naatyasaastra by Maharshi Bharata, the modern Landmass of Srilanka was physically part of Mainland India.And much before his period the Lemuria also known as Kumarikkandam submerged under the Indian ocean.According to one scientific theory Modern Humans originated from Lemuria 2 million years ago and spread to various parts of the world.Before that period there was no sea inbetween modern Srilanka and mainland India.The sea which you are mentioning was between India and Lanka of Ravana mentioned in Raamaayana before it submerged under the Indian ocean.

Dear KK-ji,

I should never have posted this on the web because my

references for this theory are so scanty, but it sounded

plausible to me. Why should Ravana's kingdom have been so far

away in such ancient days, of such difficult travel ?

Here's what I have :

 

Ancient geographer, BARAHA MIHIRA, says LANKA is on same meridian as

UJJAIN.

This is true, in Latitude, of a point N of the Narmada above Jabalpur,

SW

end of Murwara Basin. Theory is that the basin was full of water way

back then.

 

The Yaksha of 'Lanka' is Kalsodhara, {Misra, R.N.- Yaksha Cult &

Iconography,

M.M.P. Ltd. publ., 1979} if that's any help.

 

I'm not a scholar, so don't have correct attributions, but this idea

may lead

to interesting investigations.

You can tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about, I won't be

offended.

Kathie,

you indeed are a scholar.

How does one float on a hard rock?
