I am a writer and author of Siddha books in Tamil. Based on my research of Agasthya and Bogar works, it is true that Rama lived in Thretha Yuga. Ravana who was 4 lakh years older than Rama, lived in the Gonvana or Kumarikandam or Lemuria with land mass area spreading over 4000 kaadham. Siddha-rishi mentioned that on one afternoon, a big roaring sound emerged in the ocean and soon Ravana's golden city was engulfed by (tsunami) sagaram. Within hours, his palace glittered only to stand tall when water receded. Thus Ravana, Mandothari, Surpanaka overcame the pralaya. Rama gives entry only in the last quarter of Thretha yuga period.<br />My email ID is chandruselva@gmail.com<br /><br />Good work, sir.

Check out the story of King Raivat and his daughter Revati who was married to Krishna's brother Balram. Their lifetimes are also believed to have become shorter with each Yuga e.g. Shri Raam is supposed to have ruled for 11,000 years while Shri Krishna left the earth just 36 years after Mahabharat War.Dr. Vineet Aggarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693299545403378543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-54280161770518147022016-08-14T15:05:58.788+05:302016-08-14T15:05:58.788+05:30Thanks for your appreciation :)Thanks for your appreciation :)Dr. Vineet Aggarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693299545403378543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-74113037477846077082016-08-13T13:48:18.343+05:302016-08-13T13:48:18.343+05:30Very good write up and pictorial.

There are so many intricacies and mysteries in Indian Mythology, but fact is it is everything but myth!<br />Lots in the passage of time, perhaps we have skipped some chapters off the annals of time. <br />Indian history was very much the history of the world in the vedic times since these events spanned across millenia and geography of the known and inhabited world. The wondrous creations, treasures and the powerful material-objects of those ages are lost to physical world but the wisdom remains, dormant. <br />Let the quest continue and awaken....BabuRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12589762754446510892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-17089154911617637442016-07-02T20:33:59.208+05:302016-07-02T20:33:59.208+05:30Thanks a lot Sir for sharing your views :)Thanks a lot Sir for sharing your views :)Dr. Vineet Aggarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693299545403378543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-66196009280203619572016-07-02T19:26:03.391+05:302016-07-02T19:26:03.391+05:30RAMA's PERIOD FROM RESEARCH ON VALMIKI RAMAYAN...RAMA's PERIOD FROM RESEARCH ON VALMIKI RAMAYANA: <br />Many people express their own estimations arbitrarily without providing any documentary proof. Some people say Ramayana was held 5000 years ago without ay basis. Ramayana composed by Valmiki has the answer, particularly in Rama Pattabhishek sarga. Rama ruled for 11,000 years. In Sanskrit, it is said dasa varsha sahasrani, dasa varsha satanicha (Ten times to thousand and ten times a hundred). One may argue how is it possible for a man to live for 11,000 years. Thousands of years ago, longevity of man was high and age of ancient man should not be equated to the modern man. If we add his 14 years of exile to forests and life at Ayodhya, it can be around 40 yrs. Anyhow, we can approximate his longevity was around 11,000 years. One cannot be sure whether Treta Yug ended with the end of Rama. Anyhow, Dwapar Yug followed, the exact time period of which is not known. It can be several thousands of years. Next, Kali Yug entered. One is not sure how many years are already over till now. But it can be few thousands of years. Considering all these periods, Rama's or Ramayana's period should be over 11,000 years ago.<br /><br />DID RAMA REALLY EXIST? <br />My research into Valmiki Ramayana unfolds King Rama, who ruled a portion of North India called Kosala desa (kingdom) with Ayodhya as capital, existed more than 11,000 years ago. Hindus broadly named the period as Treta Yug. Traditionally, historians seek archeological evidences such as fossils, coins, vessels etc on Rama, and if they find evidences in or around Ayodhya, then only they agree on Rama's existence. But, our archeologists have not made serious efforts to find such evidences, if any, at Ayodhya, so none should jump into a hasty conclusion that Rama never existed. Some people argue that Valmiki Ramayana does not reflect Rama's history. Instead, it is mistaken by western scholars as mythology, and fiction, while some others say it is nothing but an epic. My years of research into Valmiki Ramayana revealed that Valmiki has written it mainly as the history of King Rama, because he has found extraordinary abilities and nobilities in him. Valmiki became the first historian, much before the word 'history' was coined. Ramayana also described with unprecedented details about civilizations of humans, Vanara, Gradru, and Rakshasa. He has correctly mentioned Nuwara Eliya Hills of Sri Lanka as trikuta parvat as congregation of three mountain ranges, when facilities of areal survey was unavailable. <br />Nala Sethu visibly seen as a road from Rameswaram in India to Sri Lanka is the definite marine archeological evidence on existence of Rama, Vanaras, and Rakshasa civilizations. Valmiki Ramayana clearly mentioned that under the command of Crown Prince Rama, crores of Vanaras, Golanguls and Rukshyas have built the road just in 5 days. Incredibly, they have built on 200 meters deep sea. A rough estimate shows that it is around 60 km long and 5 km wide. During British rule, number of attempts were made at various places to see whether a passage to ships can be made through Nala Sethu. Since it became a huge unbreakable fossil, it was not possible to make a passage, as a result a chain of islands are seen visibly and also through satellite.<br />https://www.facebook.com/groups/1739434762937587/<br />M.A.Padmanabha Rao, PhD (AIIMS)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00074010543213996483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-8337600581912060592016-06-14T21:08:29.916+05:302016-06-14T21:08:29.916+05:30I have answered this queston above in response to ...I have answered this queston above in response to someone else also I think.. the geographical structure of the world hasnt changed too much since the time India crashed into Asia about 60-70 million years ago. The major changes have taken place in sea-levels that have gone up and down and the climate that has changed through Ice Ages. So the geographical spots associated with Ramayan would remain as they were more or less. Thats one main reason we have less evidence for Shri Raam as compared to Shri Krishna.Dr. Vineet Aggarwalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09693299545403378543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326299284974537825.post-68288383472460806052016-06-13T13:31:44.406+05:302016-06-13T13:31:44.406+05:30Hi.. nice read.. however I have a question.. if ra...Hi.. nice read.. however I have a question.. if ram was born 4 charturyug back then how come we have many evidences of his presence as against mahabharat which took place soooo many yugs later..
