Planetary Positions from the basis of a major research programme
Editor's Note: The scientists of I-Serve have tried to
prove that Lord Ramachandra did indeed appear on this earth, but through
their research they claim above date to be His birthday. As per Vedic
scriptures Lord Ramachandra appeared in Treta yuga. We encourage other
writers and readers to present articles which prove the Vedic point of
view of dating Lord Ramachandra’s appearance based on planetary
positions described in Valmiki Ramayana.
A research institute claims to have found the date of birth of Lord
Ramachandra and says that astronomically one can conclude that He was
indeed an historical person.
I-SERVE(Institute for Scientific Research on Vedas) claims to have
conducted research and arrived at the date of birth Rama to be 10-1-5114
BC. The institute claims to have evolved an algorithm in its
planetarium which facilitated fixing of this date. As per the Hindu
almanac, He was born between 12noon to 1pm during the month of Chaitra
during the waxing fortnight of the moon.
The planetarium conducted various simulations based on algorithms to
fix the planetary positions and claims to have fixed the planetary
positions of many events referred to in the Puranas, Itihasas and other
Vedic literature. These astronomical simulations confirmed that such
planetary events as described have occurred prior to 2000BC. Nasa and
Nehru planetarium adopt similar simulations to find out planetary
positions.
One of the scientists of I-Serve said that the planetary positions
described by Valmiki in Ramayana correspond the date as confirmed by the
simulation. Scientists of I-serve said that through the simulations and
observations of the sky and planetary movements, underwater
excavations, carbon and radio dating one can prove the various events
described in the epics can be confirmed to have occurred. They said that
the planetary positions corresponding to the events described form a
major evidence for these confirmations. Lord Ramachandra’s historical
appearance and His exile and war with Khara and Dushana on the 13th year
of his exile are key events which form the basis of a confirmation that
he indeed did exist.
