Lord Ram was born on the noon of January10 in the year 5114 BC.
In Hindu calendar, it was the
ninth day of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month. Stunned! Well, this
exact date of the birthday of
Lord Rama is found in the book Dating the Era of Lord Ram by
Shri Pushkar Bhatnagar. Theexact date was obtained by entering the
planetary configuration at the time of the birth of Lord
Ram as mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana in Planetarium
Software. Interestingly, for
thousands of years Hindus have been celebrating Ram Navmi, the
birthday of Lord Ram, exactlyon the same time and date.
In the original Sanskrit Ramayana written by Sage Valmiki, while
mentioning about the birth ofLord Ram, Valmiki had mentioned the
astronomical details of the precise moment. Valmiki
himself was present in the palace of Dasaratha and he mentions
it thus in Bala Kanda of
Ramayana.
On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and
thenin the twelfth month, on the ninth day of chaitra month when
thepresiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the
rulingstar of day is punarvasu, the asterism is in the ascendant,
andwhen five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
andVenus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon
isascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then
QueenKausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes
likelotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like
drumbeat,and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who
isadored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed
epitomeof Vishnu, namely Rama. [1-18-8, 9, 10, 11]
When this data was entered in the Planetarium software, the day
was
January 10, 5114 BC. But how could Chaitra Shukla Navami occur
in January? We celebrateRam Navami in March or April. The answer to
this was found in an article inOrganizer.
There is an astronomical phenomenon called precision of the
sunas also of the equinoxes. According to the latter, the star
which isnow taken to be the Pole Star (Dhruv Tara), would yield the
placeto the Star Abhijit (Vega, alpha Lyrae), 14,000 years from
now.

So when the lunar month of Chaitra occurred seven thousandyears
ago in the month of January, 7000 years later, it occurs inthe
month of (generally) April.
Further, Valmiki had mentioned about other planetary
configuration. One such was the planetaryconfiguration when King
Dashratha decided to make Lord Ram the king of Ayodhya.
According
to the book, such a planetary configuration was prevailing on
January 5, 5089 BC. Lord Ram
was then 25 years old and there are indications in the Ramayana
that Lord Ram left Ayodhyawhen he was 25.
The solar eclipse mentioned in the Ramayana work out precisely
to the Ramayana period. Fromanarticle written in 2003 in the
Tribune by Saroj Balaon the book Dating the Era of LordRam
Valmiki Ramayana refers to the solar eclipse at the time of
warwith Khardushan in latter half of 13th year of Shri Rams living
in
forests. Valmiki has also mentioned that it was Amavasya thatday
and planet Mars was in the middle. When this data wasentered, the
computer software indicated that there was a solareclipse on
October 7, 5077 BC (Amavasya day) which could beseen from
Panchvati. On that date, the planetary configurationwas the same as
has been described by Valmiki i.e. Mars was inthe middle, on one
side were Venus and Mercury and on theother side were Sun and
Saturn. On the basis of planetaryconfigurations described in
various other chapters, the date on
which Ravana was killed works out to December 4, 5076 BC.
ShriRam completed 14 years of exile on January 2, 5075 BC. Thatday
was also Navami of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month. Thus,Shri Ram
had come back to Ayodhya when he was 39 years old(5114-5075).
To understand the book Dating the Era of Lord Ram one needs to
have some elementary
knowledge of astronomy.
When we try to prove the birth of Hindu icons, it must be
understood that these Hindu icons rarely bothered about
birth
and death. Through Sanatana Dharma they teach us to rise
above birth and death. It believes that life is a continuity.
And
therefore it scoffs at the debates like No Ram and Yes Ram
