Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi All Can anybody give the pointers for the details about Maharishi Valmiki's Ashram at the river Tamasa. VAlmiki Ramayan has very little account of it. Valmiki did not mention any thing about his own ashram. Now I want to find out any references about it. Mainly, where exactly it is situated in the present era? Balkanda refers initially that it is near the river Ganga. But where exactly? Moreover, Sita gave birth to Lav and Kush in the ashram of Valmiki only. Was that same ashram? What was the structure of the ashram? How many shishya Valmiki had? How far it was from Ayodhya? I am trying to write a paper on the same topic. Any pointers will be very much helpful. Thanks a lot. AmolMandar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 28, 2002 Report Share Posted November 28, 2002 Namaste, One of the good places on the internet to get articles on the Ramayana is http://www.maxwell.syr.edu/maxpages/special/ramayana/index.htm It has an India map of the path traced by Rama to Lanka which might be of use to you. I think the River Tamasa is now called the River Tons which starts flowing from the Garwhal Himalayas and is a spot for white water rafting. Some literature on ancient rivers can be found in http://www.hindunet.org/saraswati/maritime/maritime01.htm Regards, Anand --- amolmandar <softbit wrote: > Hi All > > Can anybody give the pointers for the details about > Maharishi > Valmiki's Ashram at the river Tamasa.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2002 Report Share Posted November 29, 2002 Namaste. Some more references to River Tamasa:- River Tamasa is located before three rivers - Vedasruti, Gomati, Syandika when travelling South from Ayodhya. Refer http://www.valmikiramayan.net/ayodhya/sarga49/ayodhya_49_prose.htm In Ayodhya Kanda Ch46, Rama passes a whole night at Tamasa banks. Tamasa, at that spot, was not deep because they could cross it with their chariot. Its banks were crowded with herds of cows.
