Evidence of Ramayana

Everything which exists has proof and it can be found with a little digging. So is the case with the Ramayana. Our elders have been telling us the great stories from the mythological tale of the Ramayana, and the lack of sufficient evidence has left the Ramayana to be called an integral part of literature. But probably after reading this, you might want to hear the stories of the Ramayana all over again, from your elders and this time- in a different light.

1. The Mysterious Cobra Hood cave In Sigiriya, Sri Lanka there is a cave that has been tested by archaeologists to be a hundred percent natural. The mysterious part about this cave is that its shape, despite being untouched by human hands, has taken the shape of a cobra! Moreover, this cave still has cave paintings on its walls, depicting scenes of Sita being captured by the Asuras.

2. The exile locationLet’s rewind the story a bit and get to the point where Ram was sentenced to exile by his own father, Dasharatha on account of a promise that he made to his wife Kaikeyi. Being the obedient son that he was, Ram along with his beautiful wife Sita and his brother Lakshman proceeded to the forest; and the place where they built their cottage and lived for the next 14 years is stated to be ‘Panchavati ‘. Here’s where the surprising bit comes- there exists a place called Panchavati, near NasikIt’s often claimed that this Panchavati is the same place where Ram, Sita and Lakshman made as their abode once they were exiled from the royal palace. Today this place has a lot of temples and is often visited by people.

3. Jatayu’s rescue attemptWhen Sita was abducted by Ravaana, there was a demi-god called Jatayu who came to Sita’s rescue. However, Ravaana slayed the demi god’s wings and he fell to the ground. Mean while, Ram and Lakshman found the now-dying demi-God who was lying on the ground. It was Jatayu who told Ram that it was Ravana who had abducted Sita and it was Lanka where Ram would find his beautiful wife. But alas, Jatayu could not be saved, as he was now breathing his last. In order to thank Jatayu for his brave efforts and for imparting the precious bit of information about Sita’s abduction - Ram, with his divine powers uttered the words ‘Le Pakshi’ which in telugu means - ‘Rise, Bird’. The fact here is that there is an actual place in Andhra Pradesh called ‘Lepakshi’, which is reportedly the place where the Jatayu fell.Jatayu, being a crucial part of saving Sita is highly revered in the Ramayana.

4. Sita’s life in Sri lankaWhen Ravaan abducted Sita and got her to his kingdom of Lanka, he is said to have first taken her to a place which is now a tourist spot in Sri lanka called Sita Kotuwa. According to the mythological tale, from here Ravana took her to Ashok Vatika and surprise surprise- there is an actual ‘Ashokvanam’ in Sri Lanka. Don’t believe us? You don’t have to.

5. The footprints of Lord HanumanGoing by the mythological tale of The Ramayana, when Ram deployed the monkey forces to rescue his wife, Sita. He chose the strongest among them who was named Hanuman to find Sita’s exact location. Upon receiving blessings from Ram, the monkey God flew to Lanka to find the exact location of Sita. Full with power and divine blessing, Hanuman was endowed with a special ability to alter his form - i.e; he could maximize his size to that of a giant or even minimize his form to that of an average monkey! To support this- till date, there are footprints that have been said to be of Hanuman near Ashokvanam. These footprints differ in size and are a reflection of the special powers of the monkey God- Hanuman.

6. Dark soil :A part of the Ramayana narrates that after Ravana found out that Hanuman had come to free Sita, he set Hanuman’s tail on fire after attempting to keep him captive. In the process, Hanuman set Ravaana’s kingdom on fire by jumping over distances and places which were a part of Ravana’s kingdom. Even today, in some parts where Ravaana’s palace once reportedly stood, the soil is somewhat darker than that of the surrounding area.

7. Hot wells said to be built by Ravaana, the hot springs are well-like structures which still exist and form an integral part of being Sri Lanka’s supply of naturally hot water.

8. 10 headed Ravaana Whenever Ravana has to be depicted either in texts or sculptures, he is shown to be having 10 heads. While the statement that Ravaana has 10 heads might seem highly impossible, the fact that he ruled 10 kingdoms doesn’t seem far fetched. 10 kingdoms, 10 crowns. Simple. Another theory states that Ravana was a great scholar and his ten heads symbolise his mastery over 6 shastras and 4 vedas. One of the theories state that the ten heads of Ravan depict the 10 negative senses or emotions in a human being, namely- lust, anger, delusion, greed, pride, envy, the mind, intellect, will and ego.

9. Ram Setu Although they didn’t require a Sri Lankan Visa to travel there in those times, there was a huge problem in the form of the water bodies, that we now call as the Palk Strait and Gulf of Mannar. In order to get to Ravaan’s kingdom, Ram had to cross these water bodies. So, he ordered his supreme army of monkeys to build a bridge between the two lands, and with his divine power the stones floated on the water. With the help of Google maps and complex technology, if you carefully watch the Gulf of Mannar and the Palk Strait, one can actually see a link between the two countries! This link has often been dubbed as the Ram Setu or Rama’s bridge and even sometimes as the Adam’s bridge.

10. The journey from Sri Lanka to AyodhyaVijaya Dashami is the day Ravaana was defeated by Ram in an epic battle between the demons and the army of monkeys. Sita was rescued and Ram along with his trusted comrades took his wife back to his kingdom, Ayodhya. 21 days later, he returned to Ayodhya, and his return is why Diwali is celebrated with lights as it first was done by the natives of Ayodhya, to celebrate the defeat of darkness by light! Even in today’s day - The journey from these two lands takes a total of 21 days by foot, according to the much-trusted google Maps - which is pretty much the number of days from Vijaya Dashami to Diwali.

Hope this helps

Few days back I visited the only swimming pool situated in Sinnar at Panchavati Motels as my cousin brother used to attend the swimming camp conducted by Kuvar Sir. I was there for not more than 80 minutes but believe me those few minutes were enough to give me stark check of reality that I am no more a child. Never missed childhood more than that day, that particular hour. Actually it was the last day of the 15 days summer camp and ritualistically, on the last day our strictest Coach get inside the water, remove the floaters and make all the students swim barefloat. For 7+ children it happens on the 10th day itself but for the younger ones its the last day that has in its kitty all the dread. So, my cousin is a good swimmer thus it was not really a dreadful day for him but I spotted a didi with her daughter. She was the one with whom.I had learnt swimming when I was around four years old. That was my first swimming camp and today I met her daughter and it was her first swimming camp, to be precise first swimming camp's last day. That cutie's floater was removed, she cried intially but Sir threw her in the water, the chlorine infused water entered all her senses but she swam. First round, Second round, Third round, she cried in between but swam the Fourth and Fifth round as well. She is strong, I thought, perhaps stronger than I was, because during my first swimming camp even I was thrown in the pool for the very same reasons, I swam too but after the first round I had ran away to the changing room. Coach had to send the guard to get me. I guess, thats when Papa decided to make me Runner and not a Swimmer but nonetheless, I felt proud of her. She looked exactly like my childhood but stronger. Future is stronger, I thought. I am no more a child, I thought. I will be ok being thrown the pool, if they make me a child again, I thought. I miss childhood, I thought.

With tantalizing seafood, Portuguese ruins, and waterfront views, Daman lets you experience Goa’s charms in half the time when riding from Mumbai.

Escape the Hustle and Ride Off Into The Sunset

Mumbai provides bikers with endless asphalt to fuel their passion for riding. Whether cruising along the Konkan Coast or riding up misty mountain passes, road trips from Mumbai let you find inner peace on your motorcycle. Always wear helmets and ride defensively for safety. Get a bike on rent in Mumbai from reputed companies like Rentnhop when planning your epic journey from Mumbai. Their well-maintained bikes and riding gear ensure a smooth trip. Don’t overpack - just strap a backpack to your bike and go. 

Once the engines roar and the wheels glide, leave behind the city smog to embrace sun, salt, and spray. Let adrenaline and endorphins surge as you challenge hairpin bends and curvy coastal routes. Stop often to capture that perfect biker picture against stunning landscapes.

Golden Festival for Eternal Religious on 22nd January 2024

It is the very pride moment for the eternal religious that the infusion of the idol Lord Rama with the divine life force. The Lord Rama who came in Bronze Age (Dvapar yug). The Dasharatha was the father of Lord Rama, well known epic Ramayana and Vishnu Puran, got to know the role of the same. He was the king of kosala kingdom and the capital of kosala was Ayodhya. The Lord Sita was the wife of Lord Rama and they had two sons i.e. Love and kush.

We are again celebrating this ceremony as same as Diwali when Lord Rama came to Ayodhya after 14 years of Vanvas.

Now the question is, why Lord Rama went to Vanvas?

Before come to the question we have to know little back ground of the Lord Rama. Dasharatha had three consorts: kausalya, Sumitra and kaikeyi and from these unions were born Ram, Bharata, Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Now let us come to the point, Dasharatha consort, kaikeyi wanted her son, Bharata to be the king of Ayodhya after their father's rule, Dasharatha. So, Ram had gone to Panchavati (Present day) Nashik for vanvas for 14 years with his wife Sita and younger brother, Lakshmana by force of his stepmother, kaikeyi.

After 500 year, the ceremony is going to celebrated on 22nd January 2024 in Ayodhoya that was the capital of kosala kingdom. In this ceremony, involves the infusion of idol Lord Ram with the divine life force. More than hundreds of priests involves in this ceremony. This ceremony take place just because of our Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Damodardas Modi. The Ayodhya City has been renovated by the Hon'ble Prime Minister and Hon'ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath.

I would like to express my gratitude to Hon'ble Prime Minister and Hon'ble Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, with their efforts, our Lord Ram is coming again.

Note: The moral of this short para, we (Children) should respect what their parents say because Whatever happens in our life happens for a purpose by god.

Jai Shree Ram
