            People all over the world, particularly in the Indian Subcontinent, remember, admire and worship Shri Ram. Most of the festivals in India revolve around the events related to the life of Shri Ram. MaryadaPurushottamRam remains unparalleled as an ideal son, an ideal brother, an ideal warrior, an ideal king and an ideal social reformer!

            Shri Ram moved from place to place to spread the message of unity by showing very high level of respect for the people from backward tribes and those considered untouchable.      He was a nationalist par excellence who left his kingdom to protect the tribals, hermits and sages  living in the forests, from the atrocities of wicked Brahman King Ravana of Sri Lanka and his relatives like Khar and Dushan, who after having turned into Rakshasas, were committing barbarities  on innocent and noble people of India.

            There is only one ‘Ramayan’, which was composed by Maharishi Valmiki Ji as a contemporary admirer of Shri Ram; admirers of great men get replaced with followers after a few hundred years. Then after a long long time, followers yield place to the devotees. This Paper is based on the story of the life of Shri Ram narrated by Valmiki Ji in ‘Ramayan’ along with the astronomical dates of important events determined on purely scientific basis, along with other scientific evidences supporting such date sequence.

            Maharishi Valmiki was a great astronomer and he made sequential astronomical references on  important  dates  related to  the life of Shri  Ram indicating the location  of  planets vis-a-vis  zodiac  constellations and  the  other  visible stars (nakshatras).  Needless to add that similar position of planets and nakshatras,vis-a-vis zodiac constellations, is notrepeated in 25920 years. By  entering the precise details of the planetary configurations of the important events in the life of Shri  Ram,  as  given in  the Valmiki  Ramyan,  using  the  software  named ‘Planetarium Gold’ corresponding exact dates of these events according to English calendar could be  known. When converted in to Luni-solar calendar followed in ancient India; these perfectly match the sequential lunar dates given by Valmiki Ji. The paper presents some of these sky views, observed from the given locations.

            These astronomical dates of planetary references in Ramayan,are corroborated byseveral scientific evidences; including those from archaeological, geological, oceanographic, geographic and genetic research reports. An attempt has been made to highlight such scientific evidences, which will persuade the viewer to believe that Ramayan was not a mythological story / fictional novel, but represents true ancient historical heritage of India.

The most distinguished scientist of 20th century, Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, had said,“the important aspect about the Ramayana is that when Maharshi Valmiki wrote the epic, he made it with many proofs. He packed so much information about the various planetary positions of those days, the geography of the areas mentioned in the epic, the seasonal events, about the genealogy of various kings, that it is virtually a no-brainer to establish the dates on which those events occurred. Genealogical links and archaeological findings also provide clues to the dating of the Ramayana era………...” Through this paper an attempt has been made to explain the evidences which prove that these assertions made by this great son of India were all correct.
