RAMAYAN AND HISTORY
In view of the growing popularity of TV channels, lot of serials on Ramayan
are being made, people want to know, how much of this can be classified as
facts. Since the period of Shri Ram is at least 500,000 yr old by some and
much older as per Surya Siddantha, the result is CONFUSION.
For instance, no one tells an average Hindu believer why Shri Ram, an
incarnation of Lord Vishnu, came on this earth and what Dharm(s) he
established?
Some of the questions that a modern viewer asks are?
What was so important about Yagna that King Dashrath was persuaded to
send his sons to assist Sage Vishwamitra?
Why did Shri Ram proceeded to Janakpuri after the Yagna?.
How did Kaekai manipulate the entire royal family of Ayodhya for awarding
vanvaas to Ram? The answer is important since Hindus worship Shri Ram
to ward off such untimely obstruction, and there Ram was present in person
yet the manipulation succeeded.
Why did Bharat after making so much of noise, return empty-handed from
forest and could not bring back Ram?
Later, when Hanuman was bringing Sanjeevni & when Bharat
came to know about it, why did he not send any help or assistance
to Shri Ram?
Where is Vibhishan now? He is supposed to live till the end of
KALP.He is not in Lanka.

Hindu History..START OF A NEW KALP
“However human civilization has always been cruel on other beings. Theystarted exploiting these two legged animals as slaves, and as animals.They refused to recognize them as human beings although they were nowdeveloping into same. The exploitation was cruel and inhuman to say theleast. Here was the first batch of human beings of the new kalp-very pureand innocent (Aryans as one would like to call them in Sanskrit), and thebatch of survivors of the older kalp-whose antecedents were not known,were torturing them instead of welcoming them”.
The first avatar of Lord Vishnu was MATSYA AVTAR. This took place when at the endof Kalyug, the entire life, as existed on this earth, was destroyed earlier by man-made calamities and subsequently the survivors, THAT WERE LEFT, faced the wrathof natural calamities. The sea water rose significantly covering almost the entire landmass. Manu, the last king on the earth then started his journey on ships along withsurvivors. Vishnu in the form of fish escorts them. This journey continued for about250,000 years. Several generations of survivors, as such, spend the life over water.Slowly with the phenomenal rise of water levels, the sea water also becamestationary .All the turbulence and so called churning of water was gone. The waterbecame still, very still. This was never witnessed by mankind before. Even sea life
started slowly vanishing .They were at the end of the kalp.
There in the extreme hostile conditions survival was difficult. Certain rules weremade to make them easier. It is only in this context Manu’s Smriti is to be looked at.
Rules regarding caste, behavior thereon, would start making sense in that contextonly. It, however, is not relevant in today’s world. It is not meant to be.

AGNI PARIKSHA OF SITA – FACTS
After becoming Chakravarti Samraat, Shri Ram ordained thathumanity, present and future, would never ask any female toundergo this test. Perhaps this was the first Dharm of the muchcherished RAMRAJYA.
The main objection of people regarding Sita, was that
Ravan approached Sita in the form of a ‘Bhikshuk’ and as a
‘Brahmin’ he was perfectly eligible to do that, and Sita,
after transgressing Laxman Rekha went with Ravan on her
own free will. As such Shri Ram had no reason to attack
Lanka, kill unaccountable people and then ‘forcibly’ bring Sita
back.
In the court which was presided by Shri Ram, the
representative of Royal family pleaded that Sita was forcibly
abducted by Ravan who came in the guise of Bhikshuk for that
very purpose and that she was coeresed in transgressing the
Laxman Rekha. Sita also personally testified the same. As a
further proof they cited the example of Jatayu who died fighting
Ravana. Laxman gave this evidence because Jatayu, of course
was dead. They further provided evidence, as how Sugrive had
seen Sita being forcibly taken in the southern direction by
Ravan and wailing the name of Ram she threw her ornaments
were Sugrive was. They also made Hanuman testify, how in
pathetic condition Sita was living in Ashok Vaatika waiting for
Ram to rescue here.
HOROSCOPE OF SHRI RAMShri Ram was born in the month of Chaitra, in
Treta Yug, at Ayodhya on the ninth tithi of
Shukla Paksha. According to Maharishi Valmiki,
Shri Ram was born at mid-afternoon, and at
that particular moment, sun was exalted, Moon
was in Punarvasu Nakshatra and all the planets
were either exalted, benefic or in their own
rashi. Karka(Cancer) rashi was rising at lagna.
Since it is difficult to visualize the mathematical
astronomical data of that time (we know that
the mathematical data is generated by
computation of actual movement of heavenly
bodies at that time, and since we, at present
have very little information about Treta Yug, we
have to wait for further research), it will be
difficult—rather impossible to mathematically
(or, should we say astronomically) calculate
and compute the horoscope of Shri Ram. We
can therefore make a rough sketch of Shri
Ram’s horoscope and leave it at that.

That precisely is the reason for writing this article—lot of people are claiming on TV channels that they have , using computer, casted the horoscope of Shri Ram and have determined the exact date of birth. This is not possible, using the existing mathematics and parameters, and we all have to agree that they are doing a great disservice to the Hindu community and religion by staking such false claims.
SWAMBER OF SITA
SHRI RAM AND MARYADAS OF HIS TIME : 1
SHRI RAM, the most worshipped incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is a
historical figure of Treta Yug. He was, and is, called Maryada
Puroshattam Ram. Here we would like to understand why he was
called Maryada Puroshattam Ram.
Before venturing any further, we must have a clear and acceptable
definition of Maryada. Maryada simply means ‘the noblest and
finest traditions of that time’. However we have to understand one
thing very clearly, Maryadas are time specific, age specific. Maryada
of Treta Yug may not be relevant today.
The other thing which must be absolutely clear to every reader is,
that Maryadas, or traditions are followed by human beings...not
God. God does not (and NEVER) follow any traditions or Maryadas.
But human being is bound by Dharm and traditions. In the case of
Shri Ram, this confusion is very evident, as people, while
discussing him as God and an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, also
deliberate why he was called Maryada Puroshattam. There is no
problem in accepting him as God and also Maryada Puroshattam,
but please do not mix the two.
King Janak informed the gathering about the serious problem that
can be faced by all humanity because Shiv Dhanush had now
become old and unreliable. The problem required immediate
solution as Shiv Dhanush was a weapon of mass destruction and
could cause serious and un-imaginable damage.

KAEKAI AND RAMAfter the marriage of all the brothers, the next
obvious thing that immediately occupied the attention
of the royal family was appointment of Yuvraj. After all
King Dasrath was an old man, and the earlier a Yuvraj
was appointed, the better, everyone felt, it would be
for Ayodhya.
But now, everyone knew of the peace treaty between
Shri Ram and Ravan. They also knew that Shri Ram
had to stay in forest for a period of fourteen years to
earmark specific areas around forest where the new
generation of human, commonly called as Vaanars
can flourish and grow.=== ------ ======= ------- ======= -------- ====== -----Kaekai episode is interesting in several ways. Some
believe that whatsoever she did was because of her
love for her son Bharat. Others believe that Kaekai
loved Ram more than her son Bharat. Conclusions in
both the cases will be different. In the first instance
she would be deemed to have acted as a selfish
queen, and in the second instance she was a selfless,
god-fearing individual, who was prepared to make
exemplary sacrifices for her NATION and HUMANITY.

BHARAT MEETS RAMInstead of coronation of Shri Ram as Yuvraj, Shri Ram was awarded vanvaas.
Sita chose to go with him and so did Laxman. The three left Ayodhya and after
crossing Saryu River, they met Maharishi Bhardwaj in his ashram at Prayag,
and then subsequently they went towards Chitrakoot.
They were staying near the bank of the river Mandakani, as vanvaasis. On the
other hand, developments in Ayodhya were taking place at a faster pace. King
Dasrath could not bear the exile of Ram and died. Bharat and Shatrughan,
who were far away at their Mama’s place, were called for by Sage Vashisht.
When they arrived at Ayodhya they were distressed by the happenings in
Ayodhya. However Sage Vashisht consoled everyone and asked Bharat to
perform the last rites of his deceased father King Dasrath, which was done
with full respect and honor to the departed soul.
The royal court and the royal family told Bharat that he would now have to
assume charge of Ayodhya as his King, but Bharat refused. He firmly told the
court that he believed that the crown belonged to Ram and requested the
court that he may be allowed to go and meet Ram in the forest so that he
could persuade Ram to accept the throne. Sage Vashisht and the entire court
also decided to accompany him, including all the royal ladies.=====--------======-----========----------=======--------=========------===
Bharat was left with no choice. As a Suryavanshi and dutiful son, he too had a
responsibility that after the death of his father, his father’s last vachans were
satisfied. With resignation, he accepted to rule Ayodhya, but insisted, that he
would do that only after installing the wooden sleepers of Shri Ram on the
throne so that the throne would always remain that of Shri Ram. On a specific
request of Shri Ram, King Janak then informed everyone there, the remaining
details of the treaty between Ram and Ravan. They were told that as per the
treaty, Ram would not be entitled to any help from kingdoms or Ayodhya, in
case Shri Ram fought a decisive war with Ravan and Rakshas.
