Shri Ram- Factual or Fiction

Dating the Era of Lord Ram : Discover the Actual Dates of the Lifetime of Lord Ram

The following document is the 'MOST' authentic scientific work that does not need further scientific verification.


The story of Shri Ram's life was first narrated by Maharishi Valmiki in the Ramayana, which was written after Shri Ram was crowned as the king of Ayodhya. Maharishi Valmiki was a great astronomer as he has made sequential astronomical references on important dates related to the life of Shri Ram indicating the location of planets, zodiac constellations and the other stars (nakshatras) . Needless to add that similar position of planets and nakshatras is not repeated in thousands of years.

A software worth of lakhs is used to predict the solar/lunar eclipses and distance and location of other planets from earth.The relevant details about the planetary positions narrated by Maharishi Valmiki is verified  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.

Shri Ram’s birth : Maharishi Valmiki has recorded that Shri Ram was born on ninth tithi of Chaitra month when the position of different planets,zodiac constellations and nakshatras (visible stars) were:

1.                Sun in Aries         

2.                Saturn in Libra

3.               Jupiter in Cancer

4.               Venus in Pisces

5.                Mars in Capricorn;

6.                Lunar month of Chaitra;

7.                Ninth day after no moon

8.                Lagna as Cancer (cancer was rising in the east)

           9.      Moon on the Punarvasu (Gemini constellation &Pluto star)

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 (7123 years ago). As per the Indian calendar it was the ninth day of ShuklaPaksha 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.

Shri Ram was born in Ayodhya. This fact can be ascertained from various sources. These sources have narrated in great detail the location, rich architecture and beauty of Ayodhya which had many palaces and temples built all over the kingdom. Ayodhya was located on the banks of the Saryuriver with Ganga and Panchal Pradesh on one side and Mithila on the other side. Normally 7,000 years is a very long period during which earthquakes, storms, floods and foreign invasions change the course of rivers, destroy the towns/buildings and alter the territories. Therefore, the task of unearthing the facts is monumental. The present Ayodhya has shrunk in size and the rivers have changed their course about 40 Kms Noth/South.

Shri Ram left Ayodhya in his childhood (13th year as per Ramayan) with Rishi Vishwamitra who lived in Tapovan (Sidhhashram) . From there he went to Mithila, King Janaka's kingdom. He married Sita after breaking Shiv Dhanusha.

 Researchers have gone along the route adopted by Shri Ram as narrated in the ValmikiRamayan and found 23 places which have memorials that 
commemorate the events related to the life of Shri Ram. These
include Shringi Ashram, Ramghat, Tadka Van, Sidhhashram, Gautamashram, Janakpur (now in Nepal), SitaKund, etc. Memorials are built for great men and not for fictitious characters.
