Pranam
Ramayana Era
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ramayanam Era era was calculated with the NASA software by my
colleague Mr Bhatnagar IRS (vide his book released also) wrt the planetary
positions in the Valmiki Ramayanam.
1 Bala Kaandam Sarga 19 and shloka 8 and 9 (1/18/8,9) that Shri
Rama was born on the ninth tithi of Chaitra month when the position of
different planets vis-a-vis zodiac constellations and nakshatras (visible
stars) was as under :- 1 Sun in Aries ii) Saturn in Libra iii) Jupiter in
Cancer iv) Venus in Pisces v) Mars in Capricorn vi) Lunar month of Chaitra
vii) Ninth day after no moon viii) Lagna as Cancer (Cancer was rising in
the east) ix) Moon on the Punarvasu (Gemini constellation & Pollux star) x)
Day time (around noon)This data was fed into the Planetarium software. The
results indicated that this was exactly the location of planets/stars
vis-a-vis zodiac constellations on January10, noon time in the year 5114
BC. *10’01/5114 BCE DOB of Rama*
2 5101 BCE Ram went out of Ajodhya in his childhood (13th year as per
Valmiki Ramayana with Rishi Vishwamitra who lived in Tapovan (Sidhhashram*)
And at 13 he was married to Sita who was 6 years old. BCE 5101.*
3 Ramayana in Ayodhya Kandam (2/4/18) that Dasharatha wanted to make Shri
Ram the king because *Sun, Mars and Rahu had surrounded* his nakshatra and
normally under such planetary configuration the king dies/or becomes a
victim of conspiracies. That *was January 5, 5089 BC and i*t was on this
day that Shri Ram had to leave Ayodhya for living in the forests for 14
years. (25 years) and Sita was 18 years.
3A Vali Vadham “Hearing the roar of Sugreev, Vali’s face became red like
the sun caught by Rahu during the eclipse.” - Ramayana 4.15.3 “Vali Vadham”
occured on 3rd April 5076 BCE during the Solar Eclipse, in the Amavasa
Ashada during the morning hours.
3B Hanuman’s Visit to Lanka - 12th September 5076 BCE - Lunar Eclipse
The eclipsed moon rose in the eastern sky. It was not a total lunar
eclipse. The place of observation is Lanka
Hanuman’s Return from Lanka Hanuman’s Return from Lanka - 14th September
5076 BCE Observation at 6.30 a.m. The Sun and Moon are shining together.
Mars & Jupiter are shining. Also seen Pushya Cancer Swati Virgo Airavat
elephant of Indra corresponds to Scorpio.
3C Army march to Lanka The Vanara Army march to Lanka - 20th September
5076 BCE Lakshmana’s observation : “The Venus has gone to the back side,
Sapta-rishi (Ursa Major) are visible brightly, Trishanku (Crux) is visible
in front. Moola nakshatra, protector of Rakshasa, is inflicted with
Dhumra-ketu (node).”
4 Valmiki Ramayana refers to the solar eclipse at the time of war with
Khara Dushan in latter half of 13th year of Shri Ram’s living in forests *(
BCE 5077*). Valmiki has also mentioned that it was Amavasya that day and
planet Mars was in the middle. There was a solar eclipse on *October 7,
5077 BC (Amavasya day*) which could be seen from Panchvati. On that date,
the planetary configuration was the same as has been described by Valmiki
i.e. Mars was in the middle, on one side were Venus and Mercury and on the
other side were Sun and Saturn. On the basis of planetary configurations
described in various other chapters, the date on which *Ravana was killed
works out to December 4, 5076 BC.* Shri Ram completed 14 years of exile on
January 2, 5075 BC
5 Shri Ram had come back to Ayodhya when he was 39 years old
(5114-5075) ( and from Khara dusha vadham to death of Ravanan is just 14
months. And war between Ravanan and Rama started on 3/12/5076 BcE and the
next day 4th Dec he was killed) { There is a say that nhartham took 18
days and Ramayanam just 18 hours}.
6 Valmiki is stated to be a *Shudra.* Sita lived with him as his *adopted
daughter* after she was banished from Ayodhya and Shri Rama’s children Luva
and Kusha grew in his ashram as his disciples. Valmiki was, perhaps, the
first great astronomer and that his study of planetary configurations has
stood the test of time. Shabari is stated to be belonging to Bheel tribe
and the army of Shri Ram, which succeeded in defeating Ravana was also
formed by various tribals from Central and South India. People who talk
about casteism should learn from this.
2 . 7 Aranyakandam verses sync with the data:
