RAMAYAN AND HISTORY

In view of the growing popularity of TV channels, lot of serials on Ramayan

are being made, people want to know, how much of this can be classified as

facts. Since the period of Shri Ram is at least 500,000 yr old by some and

much older as per Surya Siddantha, the result is CONFUSION.

For instance, no one tells an average Hindu believer why Shri Ram, an

incarnation of Lord Vishnu, came on this earth and what Dharm(s) he

established?

Some of the questions that a modern viewer asks are?

What was so important about Yagna that King Dashrath was persuaded to

send his sons to assist Sage Vishwamitra?

Why did Shri Ram proceeded to Janakpuri after the Yagna?.

How did Kaekai manipulate the entire royal family of Ayodhya for awarding

vanvaas to Ram? The answer is important since Hindus worship Shri Ram

to ward off such untimely obstruction, and there Ram was present in person

yet the manipulation succeeded.

Why did Bharat after making so much of noise, return empty-handed from

forest and could not bring back Ram?

Later, when Hanuman was bringing Sanjeevni & when Bharat

came to know about it, why did he not send any help or assistance

to Shri Ram?

Where is Vibhishan now? He is supposed to live till the end of

KALP.He is not in Lanka.

Hindu History..START OF A NEW KALP

“However human civilization has always been cruel on other beings. Theystarted exploiting these two legged animals as slaves, and as animals.They refused to recognize them as human beings although they were nowdeveloping into same. The exploitation was cruel and inhuman to say theleast. Here was the first batch of human beings of the new kalp-very pureand innocent (Aryans as one would like to call them in Sanskrit), and thebatch of survivors of the older kalp-whose antecedents were not known,were torturing them instead of welcoming them”.

The first avatar of Lord Vishnu was MATSYA AVTAR. This took place when at the endof Kalyug, the entire life, as existed on this earth, was destroyed earlier by man-made calamities and subsequently the survivors, THAT WERE LEFT, faced the wrathof natural calamities. The sea water rose significantly covering almost the entire landmass. Manu, the last king on the earth then started his journey on ships along withsurvivors. Vishnu in the form of fish escorts them. This journey continued for about250,000 years. Several generations of survivors, as such, spend the life over water.Slowly with the phenomenal rise of water levels, the sea water also becamestationary .All the turbulence and so called churning of water was gone. The waterbecame still, very still. This was never witnessed by mankind before. Even sea life

started slowly vanishing .They were at the end of the kalp.

There in the extreme hostile conditions survival was difficult. Certain rules weremade to make them easier. It is only in this context Manu’s Smriti is to be looked at.

Rules regarding caste, behavior thereon, would start making sense in that contextonly. It, however, is not relevant in today’s world. It is not meant to be.

AGNI PARIKSHA OF SITA – FACTS

After becoming Chakravarti Samraat, Shri Ram ordained thathumanity, present and future, would never ask any female toundergo this test. Perhaps this was the first Dharm of the muchcherished RAMRAJYA.

The main objection of people regarding Sita, was that

Ravan approached Sita in the form of a ‘Bhikshuk’ and as a

‘Brahmin’ he was perfectly eligible to do that, and Sita,

after transgressing Laxman Rekha went with Ravan on her

own free will. As such Shri Ram had no reason to attack

Lanka, kill unaccountable people and then ‘forcibly’ bring Sita

back.

In the court which was presided by Shri Ram, the

representative of Royal family pleaded that Sita was forcibly

abducted by Ravan who came in the guise of Bhikshuk for that

very purpose and that she was coeresed in transgressing the

Laxman Rekha. Sita also personally testified the same. As a

further proof they cited the example of Jatayu who died fighting

Ravana. Laxman gave this evidence because Jatayu, of course

was dead. They further provided evidence, as how Sugrive had

seen Sita being forcibly taken in the southern direction by

Ravan and wailing the name of Ram she threw her ornaments

were Sugrive was. They also made Hanuman testify, how in

pathetic condition Sita was living in Ashok Vaatika waiting for

Ram to rescue here.

HOROSCOPE OF SHRI RAMShri Ram was born in the month of Chaitra, in

Treta Yug, at Ayodhya on the ninth tithi of

Shukla Paksha. According to Maharishi

Valmiki, Shri Ram was born at mid-

afternoon, and at that particular moment, sun

was exalted, Moon was in Punarvasu

Nakshatra and all the planets were either

exalted, benefic or in their own rashi.

Karka(Cancer) rashi was rising at lagna.Since it is difficult to visualize the mathematical

astronomical data of that time (we know that

the mathematical data is generated by

computation of actual movement of heavenly

bodies at that time, and since we, at present

have very little information about Treta Yug, we

have to wait for further research), it will be

difficult—rather impossible to mathematically

(or, should we say astronomically) calculate

and compute the horoscope of Shri Ram. We

can therefore make a rough sketch of Shri

Ram’s horoscope and leave it at that.

That precisely is the reason for writing this article—lot of people are claiming on TV channels that they have , using computer, casted the horoscope of Shri Ram and have determined the exact date of birth. This is not possible, using the existing mathematics and parameters, and we all have to agree that they are doing a great disservice to the Hindu community and religion by staking such false claims.

SWAMBER OF SITA

SHRI RAM AND MARYADAS OF HIS TIME : 1

SHRI RAM, the most worshipped incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is a

historical figure of Treta Yug. He was, and is, called Maryada

Puroshattam Ram. Here we would like to understand why he was

called Maryada Puroshattam Ram.

Before venturing any further, we must have a clear and acceptable

definition of Maryada. Maryada simply means ‘the noblest and

finest traditions of that time’. However we have to understand one

thing very clearly, Maryadas are time specific, age specific. Maryada

of Treta Yug may not be relevant today.

The other thing which must be absolutely clear to every reader is,

that Maryadas, or traditions are followed by human beings...not

God. God does not (and NEVER) follow any traditions or Maryadas.

But human being is bound by Dharm and traditions. In the case of

Shri Ram, this confusion is very evident, as people, while

discussing him as God and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, also

deliberate why he was called Maryada Puroshattam. There is no

problem in accepting him as God and also Maryada Puroshattam,

but please do not mix the two.

King Janak informed the gathering about the serious problem that

can be faced by all humanity because Shiv Dhanush had now

become old and unreliable. The problem required immediate

solution as Shiv Dhanush was a weapon of mass destruction and

could cause serious and un-imaginable damage.

KAEKAI AND RAMAfter the marriage of all the brothers, the next

obvious thing that immediately occupied the attention

of the royal family was appointment of Yuvraj. After all

King Dasrath was an old man, and the earlier a Yuvraj

was appointed, the better, everyone felt, it would be

for Ayodhya.

But now, everyone knew of the peace treaty between

Shri Ram and Ravan. They also knew that Shri Ram

had to stay in forest for a period of fourteen years to

earmark specific areas around forest where the new

generation of human, commonly called as Vaanars

can flourish and grow.=== ------ ======= ------- ======= -------- ====== -----Kaekai episode is interesting in several ways. Some

believe that whatsoever she did was because of her

love for her son Bharat. Others believe that Kaekai

loved Ram more than her son Bharat. Conclusions in

both the cases will be different. In the first instance

she would be deemed to have acted as a selfish

queen, and in the second instance she was a

selfless, god-fearing individual, who was prepared to

make exemplary sacrifices for her NATION and

HUMANITY.
