Ramayana epic
#RAMAYANA EPIC CRACK#
(For fun let’s assume Valmiki being a prescient sage knew that secularists, communists, India haters, British invaders and Macaulayites would exist in the future and try to run down his historical opus.) He packed so much information about the various planetary positions of those days, the geography of the areas mentioned in the epic, the seasonal events, and about the genealogy of various kings that modern astronomers and scientists can have a crack at the dates on which those events occurred. The wonderful thing about the Ramayana is that when Valmiki wrote the epic, he made it idiot-proof. For example, Valmiki is referred to in the Taittiriya Brahmana (dated to 4600 BCE) and therefore Ramayana must have been written before the Taittiriya Brahmana was composed. So the Mahabharata was true, and since it mentions incidents from the Ramayana, then doesn’t it prove that Rama also existed?Īlso, literary references to the characters from the Ramayana Era provide limits after which the Ramayana could not have occurred. It establishes the fact that Krishna existed. This is among the rare instances where a historical fact has been established through scientific methods. Palaces, pillars, fort walls, a port, anchors and various artefacts have been discovered. Rao discovered Krishna’s sunken capital Dwarka, precisely at the place in Gujarat where Krishna mentioned it was located. In the late 1980s divers of the National Institute of Oceanography, Goa, led by leading archaeologist S.R. Ruins of Dwarka, underwater at the Gulf of Khambhat Catholic Christians – or more accurately their boss, the Pope – had to admit at long last in 2009 that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, a discovery made by Galileo 400 years ago (and which the Hindus knew thousands of years before that). Science also has a habit of shaking up the deepest foundations if they rest on a bed of lies. Just like the laws of motion cannot be questioned, scientific evidence is incontrovertible. In their view, because the British averred that Indian epics do not pre-date the Christian Bible, then it must necessarily be true. The unfortunate part is that many secularists, brown sahibs and Macaulayites – a class of Indians who are English in outlook and Indian only in looks – readily agree that India’s epics are pure mythology and gleefully bow down to the verdict passed by their former white colonial masters.

It is indeed amazing that the Bible mentions numerous fantastic events like the Great Deluge, Pillar of Fire, instantaneous healing of cut-off ears, is full of sexual imagery including incest and is yet considered a history of Christianity and Jews, while the ancient Indian texts are considered “mere” mythology. Just because they talk about battles between gods and demons is no reason to dismiss their accounts of kings and other contemporary developments as mere story telling. In her History of India, academician Romilla Thapar describes the celebrated Rig-Veda as “primitive animism” the Mahabharata as the glorification of a “local feud” between two Aryan tribes the Ramayana as “a description of local conflicts between the agriculturists of the Ganges Valley and the more primitive hunting and food-gathering societies of the Vindhyan region” (sic).īut the Ramayana, Mahabharata, and other ancient Indian texts like the Vedas, Puranas and Upanishads are true records of Indian history, interwoven with mythology, philosophy and spirituality. Muller, who was in the pay of the East India Company, went so far as to describe the Vedas as childish poetry. The British and their acolytes like Max Muller are originally responsible for the prevailing stereotypes about Indian history, religion and culture.
They want you to produce Rama’s birth certificate, and chances are even if you somehow get a copy, they will ask for the doctor who attested it. (Or was that six? Yes, he was so powerful he needed to rest on Sunday.) They won’t question any Christian or Muslim myths – howsoever outrageous, bizarre or downright funny – but Hindu traditions are open season for them. Despite the overwhelming scientific evidence produced by the likes of Charles Darwin, they believe the earth was created in 4004 BC and that a certain being called god created the world in seven days. These are the same people who will happily agree that a child can be conceived without human conception. But there are others who argue that there is no proof Rama lived.
