RAMSETHU - Faith vis-a-vis Reality

Ramsetu is a natural chain of islands, hills, shoals, submerged in Palk Strait from Dhanushkoti to Talaimannar, in which certain gaps have been filled up, indicating the contribution of human hand. One of the two surviving fillings can be seen in the picture revealing well defined boundaries and stone fillings. During visit to Rameshwaram, I got an extra-ordinary opportunity to observe the depth at which a part of Ramsethu was found submerged under the sea which measured 9.5 feet (about 3 meters) on the fisherman’s oar.

Ram’s Bridge – references in Ramayan

In Yuddh Kand, sarg 22 (shlokas 45-73) Valmiki has given graphic details of Lord Ram carrying out research and exploration to identify a suitable location for construction of the bridge. After identifying the location, he requested Sugriva to search for an expert Shilpakar who could construct such a bridge. Sugriva recommended the name of Nal, a famous shilpakar, who had the expertise similar to that of Vishwakarma in constructing the bridge. Accordingly Nal was called; he concurred that bridge could indeed to constructed at the location identified by Shri Ram. The construction of this bridge was completed under the supervision of Nal in five days by filling up of the gaps in the existing natural chain of land route consisting of islands, rocks and shoals (6/22/68-73).

The armymen of Lord Ram utilized various tools and implements for uprooting trees like saal, taar, coconut, mango, ashoka, arjun, bakul and bilva etc (6/22/47). With the help of various yantras they transported these stones, trees, creepers, and boulders to the seashore (2/22/60). Shilpakar Nal directed the armymen to stand with long ropes on either side and got the bridge constructed in five days by binding such transported materials together. Even the use of measuring tools has been described (6/22/65).

Rama's Bridge - its satellite image and oceanographic evidences:



The bridge is composed of a series of islands, rocks, and shoals and it is stated to be 30 kilometers long. It is found exactly at the location narrated in Valmiki Ramayan. See NASA picture of this Bridge given above.

Sea level curve prepared by the National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, corroborates the fact that sea level was about three meters lower around 5100 BC; thus corroborating the fact that in 5100 BC Ramsethu was above the sea level and could be used as a land route between Rameshwaram and Sri Lanka. Thus even fluctuations in sea levels corroborate references to Ramsethu in Ramayan.

Some very Interesting facts about Ramsethu

All attempts to create shipping route by completing the Sethu Samudram project have so far failed. Shri Subramnian Swamy summarized the report dated January 23, 2007 published in the Asian Age stating that “the Dredging Corporation of India’s (DCI) dredger imported from Holland had broken into two and sunk into the sea when it began work on the Ram Setu. The DCI crane that went to pick up the dredger pieces also broke and sank. The Russian engineer consultant who went to inspect the mishap broke his leg.” As a result all efforts made on behalf of the Government so far to destroy remains of Ram Setu have failed and consequently Sethusamudram Shipping Canal could not become a reality.

 We suggest that why not construct a the bridge as several multi-nationals are offering to construct the bridge under BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) scheme? Can one imagine the number of people from India who will walk over this reconstructed Ramsethu every year and the kind of profit the builder as well as Indian and Sri Lankan Governments would be able to earn! The relations between the two neighboring countries would drastically improve.

Dates of Ramayana

Dates of sky views in Ramayana

The story of Shri Ram‘s life was first narrated by Maharishi Valmiki in the ‘Ramayan’ wherein he has made sequential astronomical references on important dates related to the life of Shri Ram. By entering the precise details of these planetary configurations using the software named ‘Planetarium Gold’ corresponding exact dates of these events can be known.
          
Date of Birth of Lord Ram -

In Baal Kand (1/18/8-10) it has been stated that Shri Ram was born on 9th tithi of Chaitra month during day time when the position of different planets vis-à-vis zodiac constellations and nakshatras was as under:

1. Sun in Aries        
2. Venus in Pisces
3. Mars in Capricorn 
4. Saturn in Libra
5. Jupiter rising in Cancer                    
6. Moon near star Punar vasu (Pollux) in Gemini Constellation

Amazing! See the sky view below shows exactly similar location of planets, stars and zodiac constellations on the 10th of January in the year 5114 BC if viewed from latitude/longitude of Ayodhya (25°N 81°E). By making use of software to convert solar calendar into lunar calendar, it was found that this date also happened to be the 9th day of Shukla Paksha in ‘Chaitra’ month and the time was around 12 to 1 noontime. This is exactly the time and date when Ramnavmi is celebrated all over India till date.



Date of Exile of Shri Ram

In Valmiki Ramayan it is mentioned in Ayodhya Kaand (2/4/18) that Dashratha wanted to make Shri Ram the king because Sun, Mars and Rahu had surrounded his nakshatra and normally under such planetary positions the king dies or becomes a victim of conspiracies. Zodiac sign of king Dashratha was Pisces and his nakshatra was Rewati. This planetary position was prevailing on the 5th of January 5089 BC and it was on this day that Shri Ram had to leave Ayodhya for 14 years. Thus he was 25 years old at that time (5114-5089) and there are several shlokas in Valmiki Ramayan which indicate that Shri Ram was 25 years old when he left Ayodhya for his 14 years of exile.

Solar Eclipse during War with Khar-Dushan

Ramayan refers to the solar eclipse at the time of war with Khar-Dushan in later half of 13th year of Shri Ram’s stay in the forests. Valmiki has also mentioned that it was Amavasya day and planet Mars was in the middle. When this data was entered, the sky view generated by Planetarium software indicated that there was a solar eclipse on 7th October, 5077 BC which could be seen from Panchvati (20° N; 73° E) On that date planetary configuration was the same as has been described by Valmiki i.e. Mars was in the middle; on one side were Mercury, Venus and Jupiter and on the other side were Sun, Moon and Saturn. (Fig. 2).




Other Eclipses mentioned in Ramayan

In Kishkindha kaand there is a reference to solar eclipse (4/15/3) on the day Bali was killed. Software shows a solar eclipse on 3rd April 5076 BC which was the only solar eclipse during the entire year.
In Sunder Kaand there is a reference to lunar eclipse when Hanuman spots Sita in Ashok Vatika (5/19/14, 5/29/7, 5/35/87). Sky view reveals lunar eclipse starting from 4.15 pm on 12th September 5076 BC from Colombo (7°N; 80°E).
Thus the planetary references in Valmiki Ramayan correspond to actual sky seen from the given places around 5100 BC in the same sequence as narrated. The way in which archaeological, paleobotanical, genetic, oceanographic, geological, ecological and remote sensing research reports corroborate the astronomical dates is amazing! These details will also be shared through our upcoming website, bhootkaal.com.

Lessons from the life of Lord Ram

The story of Shri Ram, when appreciated in its true perspective, would emerge as the biggest unifying factor for India. He remains unparalleled as an ideal son, an ideal brother, an ideal warrior and an ideal king; that is why he is described as Maryada Purushottam Ram!
He was a nationalist par excellence who left his kingdom to help the small kings located all over India to save their kingdoms from being usurped by wicked King Ravana of Sri Lanka and his relatives and devils like Khar, Dushan, Trishira and Maarich representing him in India.
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 embraced Guh Nishad who belonged to Kol tribe, considered to be a lower caste; he gave a strong message against untouchability by eating with great affection jootha berries of Bhilni (Shabri) of Bhil tribe. He sent his wife and children to be brought up and educated by Maharishi Valmiki who is stated to be Shudra but was a great scholar in the ancient world.
Shri Ram tried and succeeded in establishing victory of good over evil. He helped rishis and munis in living a life of honor. He got the kingdoms of small noble kings restored to them and acted as the biggest unifying factor. He set the finest example of a welfare state, in which the supreme duty of the king is working for the well being and happiness of masses.
We all need to strive to establish Ram Rajya in India for rich and poor of all communities and castes!

Ram Vanshavali

We all know that Shri Ram belonged to Suryavansh dynasty and the kings of this Vanshavali have been listed sequentially in Valmiki Ramayan and in Puranas. We completed these lists and compared these with the latest genetic studies. These also led to the conclusion that time of Lord Ram are around 7100 years back, who was the 64th eminent Ruler of this dynasty. Raja Sagar was 40th and and Samrat Bhagirath was 44th ruler of this dynasty, therefore their period was around 8000 years back. Look at the Geneology Charts and the genetic studies which corroborate the continuous development of indigenous civilization in India for last more than 10000 years -

DOCUMENTARY FILM ,RAMAYAN KI KAHANI VIGYAN KI ZUBANI -2020

Based on the original Ramayan composed by Maharishi Valmiki, this interesting documentary film रामायण की कहानी विज्ञान की जुबानी retells the life story of Shri Ram, along with the exact dates of important events in his life. These dates have been determined by generating the sky views of sequential astronomical references in Ramayan, using planetarium softwares, and by weaving other supporting scientific proofs into the story.


The story of ‘Ramayan’ in this film runs sequentially, with multiple scenes borrowed from Ramanand Sagar’s most popular and evergreen serial, after obtaining proper permission. The sky simulations of astronomical observations have been woven into the story to give the precise dates of all the important events. Viewers can enjoy watching how the sky looked like when Shri Ram was born.

Archaeo-botanical evidence of plants mentioned in Ramayan, beautiful images of many excavated samples and artifacts; like bow and arrow, ring and churamani, terracotta and pottery, plants and crops, with C14 dates of around 5000 BCE, will keep the viewers hooked to the film. The documentary also includes very fascinating and real pictures with proofs of Ram Setu and Sarasvati River. The film is based on the contents of the books Ramayan Retold with Scientific Evidence & "रामायण की कहानी विज्ञान की जुबानी", authored by Saroj Bala.

Sarasvati: Archaeology and Remote-sensing

Comprehensive and wide-ranging scientific evidences based on scientific researches carried out for more than 50 years, including Space imagery, Archaeology, Geology, Hydrology, Geography and Literature have given extremely credible evidences of origin, flow and decay of Sarasvati river! 

I give you only three glimpses out of 20 slides I have. Have a look at them and I am sure that you would start wondering why in History books taught to us for last more than 50 years, which were written by leftist historians, it is said as imaginary! Was demeaning and distorting India's heritage their only agenda? Or spreading this falsehood also is a part of freedom of speech which is meant to be used for destroying India; its past, present and future!

Report of Exhibition - 2015

Amazing facts about ancient India
Revealed through-

EXHIBITION ON CULTURAL CONTINUITY FROM RIGVEDA TO ROBTICS
(17-23 September, 2015 in Lalit Kala Akademi)

Hosted by the Institute of Scientific Research on Vedas (I-SERVE)



THEME OF THE EXHIBITION

The latest scientific research reports from astronomy, archaeology, ecology, remote sensing etc. have proved that indigenous civilisation has been developing in India for last 10,000 years. But unfortunately most of our country men are unaware of these scientific evidences.

Through this exhibition we reconstructed the true history of ancient India based on such scientific evidences. Visitors could hear our most beloved former President, late Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, talking about such indigenous development of civilisation, relating the Ramayana references to 7000 BP and extolling the achievements of India in remote past.

First few exhibits provided glimpses of the background and theme of this exhibition. Thereafter on display were the sky views of references in Rigveda, which could be observed around 9000 - 7000 years back. The sky views of references in Ramayana could be seen sequentially around 7000 years back, right from Shri Ram’s date of birth to Hanuman’s meeting Sita Ji in Ashok Vatika. Sky simulations of references in Mahabharata could be observed sequentially around 5000 BP.

Some rare pictures of Ramsetu, with proof that it was at the walkable level around 7000 years back, were on display. Genealogy chart of Suryavanshi rulers, containing names of 63 predecessors and 59 successors of Lord Ram, were displayed along with the outcomes of latest DNA studies, which supported the genealogy as well astronomical dates of Ramayana.

A visitor could have a walk through more than 150 places visited by Shri Ram during his exile. A large number of visitors were attracted towards the picture of Kutumsar caves in Dandak vana; the carbon dating of grains found from there considers these as 7000 years old! 

The Exhibition displayed very exhaustive details of archaeological excavations carried out in Indus, Saraswati and Ganga regions. A close look at the pictures of 9000 to 5000 years old excavated artefacts, including jewellery, utensils, weapons, grains and terracotta etc., revealed their connection with references in Vedas and Epics and also their resemblance with such articles made in modern India, revealing cultural continuity for 9000 years.

The eventful journey of remote past, revealing how and when Ganga became the most venerated mighty river of India in place of Saraswati, was displayed through satellite images taken by ISRO and supported by geological studies. By the time a visitor reached the last exhibit, the true history of ancient India stood revealed as under-

·           There has been a constant development of civilization and culture in Indian sub continent for more than 10000 years.
·           Vedas represent the compilation of knowledge, whereas Ramayana and Mahabharata reveal the true history of ancient India.
·           There was not any Aryan invasion 3500 years back. In fact Vedic Aryans from India have been travelling to other countries of the world since 8000 BP for trade and for sharing knowledge.
·           Vedic culture provided the foundation on which the superstructure of Indian civilization is being laid till date. It is like its nurturer, river Saraswati, whose presence is seen and felt but it has become fashionable to deny its existence.

EXHIBITION ON CULTURAL CONTINUITY FROM RIGVEDA TO ROBOTICS
(SKY VIEWS OF ASTRONOMICAL REFERENCES & SUPPORTING SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCES) 
(A brief report)

This unique Exhibition was put up by I-SERVE Delhi Chapter on 17-23 September, 2015 in Lalit Kala Akademi, in order to showcase the outcomes of multi-disciplinary scientific research carried out for more than 12 years for information of general public. The Inaugural function was organized in Meghdoot-IV, Rabindra Bhawan on 17th September, 2015, with the support of Sangeet Natak Akademi. The Exhibition was unveiled by Dr. Mahesh Sharma, Minister of Culture and Tourism, with special address by Dr. Sonal Mansingh (Padma Vibhushan) and Aashirvachan from Dr. Krishan Gopal Sharma, Sah Sar karyavah of RSS.

Mrs. Saroj Bala, Director of the Institute, extended a very hearty welcome to the distinguished guests. In their honor, she submitted a short overview of the theme of the Exhibition as under-

1.  The latest scientific research reports have proved that indigenous civilisation has been developing in India for last 10,000 years. Vedas contain references of the sky views which could be observed around 9000 - 7000 BP, Ramayana refers to the sky views seen sequentially around 7000 BP, whereas those of Mahabharata could be observed around 5000 BP. On display are the sky views, generated by using Planetarium software, starting with the one observed at the time of birth of Lord Ram in 5114 BC, matching exactly the description given in Valmiki Ramayan. All subsequent sky observations of important events in the life of Lord Ram reveal perfect chronological matching.

2.   On display in the Exhibition, are the sky views generated by using Planetarium soft ware, which match the references in Mahabharata sequentially right from the date of departure of Pandavas for thirteen years of exile after they lost everything in the game of Dice in 3153 BC, to the sequential events leading to Mahabharata war in 3139 BC and thereafter right up to the solar eclipse seen from Dwarka before it submerged 36 years after Mahabharata war in 3102 BC.

3.   She went on to add that these astronomical dates of references in Rigveda, Ramayana and Mahabharata are corroborated by oceanographic, archaeological, geological, remote sensing, paleobotanical, ecological and anthropological evidences. Various exhibits displayed provide pictorial glimpse of such scientific evidences. The archaeological evidences displayed are in form of utensils, ornaments, weapons, plants and infrastructure etc. All these support the astronomical dates of references in these scriptures.

4.    On display in the exhibition is the map showing more than 150 places visited by Shri Ram during his exile. One could look at the picture of Kutumsar caves in Dandak vana; the carbon dating of grains found from there considers these as 7000 years old! 

5.  Some rare pictures of Ramsetu are on display with proof that it was at the walkable level around 7000 years back. Put on show is the pictorial display of the eventful journey of remote past revealing how and when Ganga became the most venerated holy river of India in place of Saraswati!

6.  Smt Saroj Bala invited the chief guests as well as the visitors to have a look at the geneology charts of the Suryavanshi rulers, containing names of 63 predecessors and 59 successors of Lord Ram. These are corroborated by the latest DNA studies, revealing genetic continuity for more than 10000 years in India!

Dr. Sonal Mansingh delivered a very informed and impressive address –

·   She said that so far we have all studied the history of Indian subcontinent, which is based on the writings of Chinese, Portuguese, German and British scholars. For the first time I-SERVE and its Director, Mrs. Saroj Bala, have tried to reconstruct India’s ancient history based on scientific evidences, which also sequentially corroborates references in Vedas and Epics.

·    She added that she felt overawed by the vastness of the subject covered through this Exhibition and sharpness of intellect required to do this job.

·   She lamented that we have not tried to project the achievements of our remote past and we not even bothered to take note of the fact that there is no Chair on Hinduism in any of the universities in USA whereas there are many on Islam, Judaism and Zoroastrianism.

·   Consequently, “As a systematic conspiracy, scholars like Wendy Doniger, have written about our ancient saints being sex maniacs to belittle us. Yet, we only read the history written by these people” and make no attempts to place the true facts before the world, she added.

·   She also lamented the dismal state of our ancient historical places and stressed the need for their preservation and development.

·   She advised that scientific evidences, gathered by I-SERVE about the true antiquity and continuity of our culture and heritage, are so valuable that all possible efforts should be made to circulate these through social media.

Dr. Mahesh Sharma, Hon’ble Minister of Culture and Tourism, lauded the efforts put in by I-SERVE to put up this Exhibition, which was preceded by in-depth scientific research, to showcase the historicity of Vedas and Epics

·    The evidences displayed through this exhibition are so convincing and credible that it may not be possible to say any more that some people wrote Ramayana and Mahabharata stories sitting in their bedrooms. It has been proved that these contain references to true events of the remote past; the true dates of these events can be determined by making use of modern scientific tools.

·    Dr Mahesh Sharma added that research outcomes, displayed through the exhibits, are so valuable that these have to be preserved for posterity and for that the Director of I-SERVE must put a mechanism in place.

·    Full fledged efforts need to be made so as to reach the information revealed through this Exhibition to largest number of people all over India. It should be put up at several other locations.

·   After unveiling the Exhibition Dr. Mahesh Sharma said, “I spent a good one and a half hours at the Exhibition and there is a lot of material there which merits attention. We have asked I-SERVE to compile all of this information and submit a report on this important issue. There have been questions raised about the very existence of Mahabharata and Ramayana. This exhibition gives scientific, credible and convincing evidences about their historicity.”

Dr. Krishna Gopal Sharma impressed the audience with his deep knowledge on the subject combined with outstanding oratorical skills –

·   He said that world has come a long way after the 19th century Christian belief that earth got created in 4004 BC. Consequently attempts made at that time to fit in the entire historical sequence of the events of Indian subcontinent within that time frame, also have to be reviewed.

·  Dr. Krishna Gopal added that even in those older days, after reading Vedas, Max Mueller conceded that considering its language as well as content, Rigveda should be at least 5000 years old. In fact many more years need to be added for the evolvement of language till that time.

·   Christian scholars could not imagine history older than 4,000 years; even Max Mueller could not go earlier than 5,000 BC”. But the intensive and extensive scientific research, which has gone behind this Exhibition on ‘Cultural Continuity from Rigveda to Robotics’ has proved that Rigveda was composed more than 9000 years back and there has been cultural continuity since then.

·   Ancient scholars and rishi-munis of ancient India had such profound knowledge of astronomy and of methods of time reckoning that modern scientific tools are establishing their precision and reliability. We need to know all that in greater details for our own benefit.

·    Dr Krishna Gopal appreciated the initiative taken by Mrs. Saroj Bala and her Institute I-SERVE. He requested that all organizations, NGOs and individuals should support this outstanding work and help restore the self esteem of all Indians in the true antiquity and richness of their culture.

During this Exhibition, one could watch the video recording of address by late Dr. A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, most admired ex-President of India, talking about such indigenous development of civilisation, relating the Ramayana references to 7000 BP and extolling the achievements of India in remote past! An extract is as under-

                 “Vedic and post-Vedic literature has a tremendous amount of scientific knowledge which will be extremely beneficial to humanity. For creating a faith in these documents, there is a need to establish the date of occurrence of Vedas and Upanishads which are contained in our mythology, so that they are transformed into historical events and not imaginary mythological events…….

               If we look at the study on scientific dating of Ramayana, the important aspect about the Ramayana is that when 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, and about the genealogy of various kings that it is virtually a no-brainer to establish the dates on which those events occurred.

                 Astronomical calculation, making use of planetarium software, have proved that events narrated in Valamiki Ramayana actually occurred around 7000 years back and they can be sequentially dated. Ramasetu is found submerged at the same location as is described in Valamiki Ramayana and the city of Dwarka has been explored by marine archeology wing of Govt of India….

                As per the estimate made by the Inter-Governmental panel on Climate Change (NASA, Global Change Master Directory), the rise in the sea level during the last 7000 years has been about 2.8 meters which roughly corresponds to 9.3 feet. The remains of Rama Sethu are found submerged nearly at a depth of 9-10 feet. Thus, obviously this bridge was capable of being used as a land route 7000 years back. This is the only existing evidence on manmade bridge so many thousands of years back…

             It is essential that our researchers launch a mission-oriented program in an integrated way by earth science, geological science, remote sensing and space scientists, oceanography and climate change teams and the people who are engaged in construction under the sea….

                   The spoken language period as per Prof. Tobias is around 10000 years old and the birth of Rama based on the 9th thithi of Chaitra month dates to 10th January in 5114 BC, that is 7117 years back. We need to establish the relationship between the birth of spoken language and the evolution of Valmiki Ramayana.…. I am happy that through the use of modern technology, the perception of Indian Archaeology has changed and has facilitated the researchers to prove an indigenous origin of civilization in the Indian Sub continent. This is an important factor which should work as an integrator of the entire nation since all of us have come into this land from the same ancestors and roots.”

                    During this one week (17-23 September, 2015), the Exhibition was visited by more than 2000 people, including groups of students from Centenary DAV College (Faridabad), Institute of Archaeology, Saraswati Shishu Vidya Mandirs from different locations of NCR  and IAS aspirants from Samkalp centers etc. These students won many prizes during Quiz Programs conducted after their visit to the exhibition. Almost all the visitors showed deep interest and made extremely positive and encouraging comments.

                     Deep interest was also shown by print and electronic media and I-SERVE team felt encouraged with the positive coverage from them as they generally endorsed the authenticity as well as the credibility of the theme of the exhibition and trustworthiness of the contents of its exhibits.

            Some very valuable suggestions for carrying forward this type of scientific research, in order to rewrite the true ancient history of India and for determining the true antiquity and continuity of our culture, made by scientists and scholars during earlier seminars and this exhibition are as under –

            1. The study deserves to be undertaken at a very large scale, which should also be supported by Govt. agencies. Several books covering the scientific reconstruction of ancient history need to be written, including the ones for being introduced in schools and colleges.

            2. Very special efforts need to be made to make these books interesting and readable, simultaneously ensuring that scientifically verified facts are neither ignored nor tampered with. In addition, series of books also need to be written correlating knowledge contained in Vedas, Epics and Post-Vedic Literature with modern sciences, including astronomy, mathematics, medicine, surgery, plants and animals, warfare and weaponry, statecraft and diplomacy etc.

            3. Universities may be requested to modify their policy for allocating topics for Ph.D. so that research scholars could take up multi-disciplinary research with Guides from different departments and a coordinator. They should be able to correlate research reports from different disciplines of sciences with references in Vedic and post-Vedic Sanskrit literature.

            4. Since inputs from many ministries like those of HRD, Culture, Science and Technology etc. are needed, the research project for rewriting the true history of culture and civilisation of India, based on multi-disciplinary scientific research reports, deserves to be owned up and supported by the PMO.

            5. I-SERVE will have to broad base its membership and activities. It will have to augment its manpower as well as financial resources. I-SERVE should be in a position to provide inputs to any committees formed by Govt. & help in coordinating this type of multi-disciplinary scientific research.

            6. I-SERVE has gathered comprehensive details of places referred to in Ramayana and Mahabharata along with archaeological, paleobotanical, geological evidences. These stand supported by references in these epics. I-SERVE offers to make these details available to the ministries and organizations concerned.

            The Ministry of Culture is requested to kindly take the necessary initiatives to achieve this noble objective of reconstructing India’s true ancient history, which in the words of Hon’ble Dr A P J abdul kalam, would generate shared pride amongst different communities of India.

            Institutions and NGOs, scientists and scholars, government departments and individuals are all invited to join this mission and convert it into a mass movement.
