Ram was born on Jan 10, 5114BC’ By entering in a software called planetarium precise details of planetary positionsvis-à-vis zodiac constellations described by Maharishi Valmiki in the ValmikiRamayan, it is possible to determine important dates starting from Shri Ram’sbirth-date to the date of his return to Ayodhya. Valmiki Ramayan states Ram was 25-years-old whenhe went to exile. When the configuration of planets described at this point isfed into the software, the date thrown up matches perfectly with Ram’s age atthat juncture of his life - 25 years.
