Lord Ram Timeline

[Guest guest]

* Yes, but who is to say that the planets didn't come to this configuration

at some time further in the past? The Ramayana gives an older birth time

than 7117 years ago. It seems from statements in the Brihat Jataka that the

planets used to have orbits which do not correspond to the modern ones. The

modern software which Mr Pushkar Bhatnagar does not take this into

consideration, which means that we can view this date with a dose of doubt.

Mr Pushkar Bhatnagar of the Indian Revenue Service had acquired this

software from the US. It is used to predict the solar/lunar eclipses

and distance and location of other planets from earth. He entered the

relevant details about the planetary positions narrated by Maharishi

Valmiki and obtained very interesting and convincing results, which

almost determine the important dates starting from the birth of Shri

Ram to the date of his coming back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.

 

 

 

Maharishi Valmiki has recorded in Bal Kaand sarga 19 and shloka eight

and nine (1/18/8,9) that Shri Ram was born on ninth tithi of Chaitra

month when the position of different planets vis-a-vis zodiac

constellations and nakshatras (visible stars) were: i) Sun in Aries;

ii) Saturn in Libra; iii) Jupiter in Cancer; iv) Venus in Pisces; v)

Mars in Capricorn; vi) Lunar month of Chaitra; vii) Ninth day after

no moon; viii) Lagna as Cancer (cancer was rising in the east); ix)

Moon on the Punarvasu (Gemini constellation & Pllux star); x) Day

time (around noon).

 

This data, was fed into the software. The results indicated that this

was exactly the location of planets/stars in the noon of January 10,

5114 BC. Thus Shri Ram was born on January 10, 5114 BC (7117 years

back). As per the Indian calendar it was the ninth day of Shukla

Paksha in Chaitra month and the time was around 12 to 1 noontime.

This is exactly the time and date when Ram Navmi is celebrated all

over India.
