Ramayana.Ravana Real, Existed Study


I have been posting on the historicity of Lord Rama and am planning to write on the Birth date od Lord Krishna.

While I was ‘Story telling’ my grand son, 4, he asked me whether Ravana was real or a story.

That struck me.

Ramayana, scenes from the Hindu Epic.,

Scenes from The Ramayana

I have been going after facts on Lord Rama, the route taken by Him, His Birth Date and never for a moment it struck me to go after Ravana.

If Lord Rama is real, so should Ravana Be, as the whole Ramayana minus Ravana is Zero!

I did some checks  and this Post.

A Study by Tharaka Devinda Gunasekera, a Sri Lankan( what better source could there be!) attempts to prove Ravana was real.

The author has sifted Facts from Myths and has done a good interpretation.

His proof consists of Three  facts.

1.The Runways built by Ravana are still intact.

2. Ravana’s Pushpaka Vimana,Fore runner of modern Airplane.

.3.The Sunken city of Ravana.

4.The place where Sita was incarcerated.

The Airstrips ,Runways of Ravana.

“The first clue that comes to us is from three places still intact. Those are Maha-eliya
(Known today as Horton’s plains named after the person who shot down all the deer in the
park, to the last one), Ussangoda in Hambanthota and “Wariyapola”.

. What do these places 7
have in common? For starters, all these places are flat lands with wide open areas, ideal for
landing an airborne craft.
The place name “Wariyapola” breaks down in to “Air-Ship-Port” (Waa=air). Couple
together this, with the fact that almost all the place names in this country has a history that
made them, we have our first clue, the runway lines of the king’s airplane, or was it fleet?

The palce where Rvana had his Airstrips. Ussanagoda

Ussangoda, Sri Lanka

Ussangoda also seems a good spot for landing an aircraft. But the land is somewhat tilted
in some areas. The best craft to land there would be a helicopter. But we also know that it is
possible to land airplanes in a short distance, which is done in a fighter carrier. There are
certain models that can land vertically too. Thus, the uneven ground may not be a problem. It
might have been completely flat by the time of Ravana, so the problems might not have been
there at all. The fact that, the Ussangoda rock has no high rising trees is intriguing. The soil
there does not support high growing trees, not even coconuts that grow normally in that area
are there on the rock formation.

2.The Plane,Pushpaka Vimana.

Findings from a pyramid in Egypt revealed four airplane structures shown in terracotta
slabs. Among them are the two crafts that show resemblance to the current day helicopter and
the passenger airplane. A third is said to show a structure similar to a faster craft may be used
in battle. There is however references that the queen “Devayani”, mother of Tharaka, 8
Surapadma and Sinha-mukha, showed her sons how the bombing is done. Where it is said that
rock turned into marble. Only at very high temperatures will this happen and either a nuclear or
a plasma grade weapon is necessary to do such damage.
(Suriya Gunasekera, 2006)
There are findings of airplane like structures all round the world. The first is from Egypt,
which resembles a bird. Although archaeologists categorised it as a bird at first, people now
have their doubts about it. The wings that are flat as well as a tail which is vertical rather than
horizontal are the facts that tell us it’s actually a sculpture of an airplane.

Different types of Airplanes in used in ancient India

Vimanaas-Planes In ancient India

The writings on the sculpture said it was the “Gift of Amon”. “Amon” is the god of wind in
Egyptian mythology. As I suspect, this is not a gift from Amon, but a gift to Amon. From whom, I
do not know, but it might as well be from Ravana.
A similar finding was done in Central America and coastlines of South America. This time
it was made out of gold rather than wood. The sculpture shows patterns of wind upon it very
clearly.

The sunken City of Ravana.

In the South-East of Sri Lanka there are two lighthouses erected on two small islands,
known even today as “Maha Ravana Kotte” (Great Basses) and “Kuda Ravana Kotte”. The word
“Kotte” may well be fort. There is evidence in the nearby vicinity that depicts the ruins of a fort
or a citadel. However the rocks that are visible only in the low tide can only be examined with
great care as the sea is very rough in the area.
The “Lankapura” that is in the Ramayana cannot be located anywhere in the island.
Therefore the only clues that come from are from the sea. The findings from a Babylonian
terracotta slab revealed that the city Babylon was constructed according to the instructions
given by the “Lion People” that came from the sky. This is acceptable, since we know that the
king Sinha-Mukha (Lion Mouth?) built the city, and he may have led a team of engineers to help

build Babylon according to his city. Comparing the records of Plato (4th Cent. BC) and the
description that comes from Ramayana’s Hanuman, Plato’s Atlantis and Hanuman’s Lankapura
seem to be the same.
Then where is this city of gold? To find the city now, we would have to dive deep in the
eastern seas of Sri Lanka. Legend has it after the death of Ravana; the city sank into the sea.
Clues can be found in the areas given above, where the lighthouses were and the areas of
Trincomalee. The lover’s leap is a ridge of rock that is no natural formation, a good indicator
that the land that was once connected to it, sank in to the sea.
People still have no correct answer to whether the city was actually there or how it sank,
but recent history tells us how it sank. The tidal wave that hit the eastern shore tore apart most
of the buildings and took many lives. We could place our doubt in a larger scale tidal wave,
bringing the city down. Since there are no ground structures even islands left in the eastern
shoreline, we can assume that most of the city was artificially built ground

Other Facts.

There are several other scattered facts that support the existence of Ravana. One of them
is a holding cell that is said to have held “Seetha” while Ravana was carrying her to his kingdom.
This is found in the Devinuwara area. This conflict with the stories that tell Seetha was held in
the hill country where “Seetha-eliya” is. But as we know, the kingdom that we know as
“Lankapura”, was in the Eastern shores of the island. The holding cell that we talk about,
support that fact. It was supposed to have made for Seetha to rest on the journey to the
capital.

Side view of the Place where Sita was imprisoned,Lankapura.

We took into account various facts and sources that prove or disprove the existence of
Ravana. From all these facts that have been laid out, my opinion is that Ravana did exist. The
ambiguities that arise saying otherwise are there because of the lack of solid facts. But, like all
other great findings, they will come some day, slowly though, to prove that there was actually a
great kingdom, here in our country.
History is the very foundation of a civilization. Our history is golden compared to other
countries’ past records. But some have ignored it or covered it with a veil of dust and mud. It is
time for us to clean that dust and rediscover the gold that lies within our legends, the golden
part that lies within us ourselves. It is time to rewrite our history from scratch, to rewrite the
true version; not something that was planted there purposely.
Finally, I tell you, Ravana is solid fact. There is too mush evidence to believe he was only a
myth. A real king that walked in our country, leading it to be the world’s number one.

The Bible Christ Shroud Of Turin, Myths


There is a widely  held belief that the Christians were persecuted from The days of Christ and the point is stressed and reinforced by Christian Literature.

The three facts(?)of Christianity.

Christ did not exist.

‘The Christ myth theory (also known as Jesus myth theory or Jesus mythicism) is a range of arguments that question the existence of Jesus of Nazareth or the entirety of his life story as described in the Christian gospels.[1][2][3][4] The most sweeping version of the myth theories contends that there was no real historical figure Jesus and that he was invented by early Christians. Another variant holds that there was a person called Jesus, but almost all teachings and miracles attributed to him were either invented or symbolic references. Yet another version suggests that the Jesus portrayed in the New Testament is a composite character constructed from multiple people over a period of time..

Historical Evidence.

The historical Proof for the existence of Christ is very thin.

Jesus Christ.

Christ.

  1. “Jesus never existed: The gospels describe a virtually, and perhaps entirely, fictitious person. There are no grounds for supposing that any aspect of the Jesus narrative is rooted in history.
  2. Jesus existed but little is known about him: There is enough historical evidence to conclude that Jesus existed, but the reports are so unreliable that very little can be said about his life and teachings with confidence.
  3. Jesus existed and we can know about him: Historical research can reveal a core of historical facts about Jesus, but he is often different from the portrayals in the New Testament. Many of the sayings and miracles attributed to him are likely to be myths.
  4. The gospels present a mostly historical Jesus: When the New Testament accounts are compared with other sources they provide a by and large reliable historical portrait of Jesus, and critical historiography should not rule out the possibility of supernatural occurrences.”

So much for the founder of Christianity.

The Bible.

The Bible was composed nearly after three years after the death of Christ(?) by Constantine by assembling a Conclave of Cardinals   an analysis of over three hundred versions of the would be Bible and the one that would suit the policies of Constantine to consolidate his Empire was chosen.

Not only that.

Constantine too became a Christian Convert to hold on to his Kingdom.

The New Testament , of  King James’s version was more of a retort to the Pope., because he did not give permission to King James to marry Anne Boleyn.

“The First Council of Nicaea was convened by Emperor Constantine the Great upon the recommendations of a synod led by Hosius of Córdoba in the Eastertide of 325. This synod had been charged with investigation of the trouble brought about by the Arian controversy in the Greek-speaking east.[16] To most bishops, the teachings of Arius were heretical and dangerous to the salvation of souls. In the summer of 325, the bishops of all provinces were summoned to Nicaea (now known as İznik, in modern-day Turkey), a place easily accessible to the majority of delegates, particularly those of Asia MinorGeorgiaArmeniaSyriaPalestineEgyptGreece, and Thrace.

This was the first general council in the history of the Church since the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem, the Apostolic council having established the conditions upon which Gentiles could join the Church.[17] In the Council of Nicaea, “The Church had taken her first great step to define doctrine more precisely in response to a challenge from a heretical theology.”[18]

Constantine also established the Church, the temporal Authority to consolidate his Kingdom.

The Shroud of Turin.

The Shroud of Turin, believed to be the cloth that was used to wrap the body of Crucified christ.

The Shroud of Turin.

The Shroud of Turin was believed to be  the cloth that was used to wrap the body of Christ after he was crucified.

Carbon Dating established beyond doubt that the Cloth belonged to the 13th Century AD!

‘The Shroud of Turin, a linen cloth commonly associated with the crucifixion and burial of Jesus Christ, has undergone numerous scientific tests, the most notable of which is radiocarbon dating, in an attempt to determine the relic‘s authenticity. In 1988, scientists at three separate laboratories dated samples from the Shroud to a range of 1260–1390CE, which coincides with the first appearance of the shroud in France in the 1350s.[1]

These results are generally accepted by the scientific community. This dating has been questioned by some, and doubts have been raised in particular regarding the representivity of the sample that was taken for testing.”

This is how th early Christianity was conceived , more as a Political tool.

Even the hunting down  of Christ and eventual Crucifixion was more of a Political Act, the charge was Sedition!

Now onto the persecution of Christians.

Tipu Sultan’s Persecution of Hindus,In His Words.


In Karnataka, Tipu Sultan is held in veneration for his religious tolerance ,his donations to Hindu Temples and honorable treatment of Hindus.

He is held in high esteem,hos Fort,Summer Palace in Bangalore ,the place where he was imprisoned are maintained by the Archaeological Department of India.

Tipu Sultan Facts.

Tipu Sultan, Mysore, India.

Tipu Sultan.

In the first part of his reign in particular he was a religious bigot destroying many temples within his own kingdom-proper and many more in the invasion of Malabar. Mass forced conversions took place during the invasion of Malabar, outnumbered Nair warriors were given choice of Islam or death and Tippu is said to get great pleasure by converting Namboodhiri Brahmins. 20% of the population of Kerala are now Muslim mainly due to this. In battle After being defeated in the first Anglo-Mysore war he started dealing cordially with the Hindus in his kingdom so as to avoid insurrection and get support in the face of the British power.  There are some historians who claim that Tippu Sultan was a religious persecutor of Hindus.

C. K. Kareem also notes that Tippu Sultan issued an edict for the destruction of Hindu temples in Kerala.

Historian Hayavadana C. Rao wrote about Tippu in his encyclopaedic work on the History of Mysore. He asserted that Tippu’s “religious fanaticism and the excesses committed in the name of religion, both in Mysore and in the provinces, stand condemned for all time. His bigotry, indeed, was so great that it precluded all ideas of toleration”. He further asserts that the acts of Tippu that were constructive towards Hindus were largely political and ostentatious rather than an indication of genuine tolerance.”

In 1783-84, 1788 and 1789-90, Tipu personally led the attacks on Malayalam (Kerala), besides sending his army contingents to various resistance spots during the intervening period. Well-known Muslim historian, P.S. Syed Muhammed, author of Kerala Muslim Charitram (History of Kerala Muslims), has this to say about these invasions: “What happened to Kerala because of Tipu’s invasion, reminds one of the invasion of Chengez Khan and Timur in Indian history.”

Vadakunkur Raja Raja Varma writes in Kerala Samskrita Sahitya Charitram (History of Sanskrit Literature in Kerala): “The number of temples destroyed during Tipu’s invasion is countless. It was the hobby of Tipu and his army to put the temples on fire destroy the idols and indulge in cow-slaughter. The memory of destruction of the Talipparampu and Trichambaram temples aches the heart.”

According to the Malabar Gazetteer, the important temples in the towns of Tali, Srivaliyanatukavu, Tiruvannur, Varakkal, Puthur, Govindapuram, and Talikunnu were destroyed by Tipu’s ravaging armies. Even the Tirunavaya Temple known all over India as a centre of Rig Veda teaching was destroyed. Tipu personally ordered the destruction of Calicut which was the capital of the Zamorin Rajas.’

Sources:

In a letter (December 14, 1788), he said to his army commander in Calicut: “You should capture and kill all Hindus. Those below 20 years may be kept in prison and 5,000 from the rest should be killed hanging from treetops”. Writing on January 19, 1790, to Badroos Saman Khan, he said: “I have achieved a great victory recently in Malabar and over four lakh Hindus were converted to Islam. I am now determined to march against the cursed Raman Nair.” Tipu issued orders in different parts of Malabar: “All means, truth or falsehood, fraud or force, should be employed to effect their (Hindu) universal conversion to Islam” (Historical Sketches of the South of India in an attempt to trace the History of Mysore, Mark Wilks Vol II, page 120).

Rig Veda IsTamil Composed ByTamils


I came across an interesting article  that seeks to prove that the Ancient Literature of Mankind,The Rig Veda was composed by Tamils.

And the Rig Veda is Archaic Tamil.

The author goes on quoting what seems to me as authentic sources.

True to my belief, Enjoy,Inform and be Informed, I am posting excerpts.

Let the scholars fight.

To me it is an experience to learn more.

‘But truth is truth and it has to be stated no matter how unpalatable these ideas may be to the present day scholars. However as a preliminary remark  let me mention that the Dravidian-Aryan antagonism and along with it the Brahmin- Nonbrahmin disputes that was generalized to the  Sanskrit – Tamil language rivalries and political movements of various kinds that these elements of group dynamics gave rise to is rather new and began only  with the Western Indologists like Max Muller who claimed for example that Rig Veda is the FIRST VOICE of the Aryanman. This appropriation of Sanskrit as the language of  a race of people called Aryans  and hence also Hinduism  is behind all these painful political struggles which are still on-going. However a study of Tamil literature shows that right from the beginning of Tolkaappiyam such a dichotomy and rivalry did not exist. While there were Brahmins ( paarppaans) right from the beginnings but  they never thought of themselves as a different race of people but rather the same as the rest though given over to the recitations of the Vedas and so forth. The grouping of some of  these Brahmins as those fond of  Sanskrit, VadmoziyaaLar, those who were fond of Sanskrit,  is something we note only from the period of MaNimekalai and perhaps because  of Buddhism and Jainism.  However we find the practice of Veelvi and Yajna or Yakam  as integral parts of Tamil religious practices  and without any antagonism towards them.  They exist till today as integral part of temple activities as it was in Sumerian times. Furthermore almost all scholars were bilingual , mastered both Tamil and Sanskrit, and while some wrote in both languages some others only in Tamil or Sanskrit. They also saw BOTH as DIVINE languages and  perhaps understood that Sanskrit was some kind of ancient  heritage of Tamils as much as other so many things.

The Manuscript of Rig Veda.

Rig Veda Manuscript

These studies may explain all these and show that Vedas were  composed by some ancient  Dravidian priests who were very well patronized by the Kings and more as specialized  rituals for maintaining the king in good shape, sometimes  a magical  form of ritual for the selfish needs of Kings to maintain themselves in continued  Kingship. The supremacist feelings of the Vedic Brahmins and the  immense secrecy with which they guarded Vedic recitations may  be related to these magical elements whereby they believed that by the practice of such Velvies they can invoke the Grace of BEING to maintain themselves  the King and their country through that   in abundance and prosperity. Of course along with such laudable motivations there was also the craze for POWER especially the politically ambitious individuals  that they hoped to gain by the practice of  these rituals  as if by magic and which became something questioned very early and because of which arose Jainism and Buddhism as  reformist movements also by Kings…

Rig Veda as Eri Ombal

First  of all  a few words about the phrase  Rig Veda  itself. The ‘rig’ exist in Su. as “- rib ” and Ta.  eri: fire .  We have an instance of it in the following lines of Instructions of Suruppak  dated  towards  the close of the 4 th millennium (perhaps the oldest written text in the world)  but written copies dated around 2600 B.C.

1. u-ri-a sud-ra ri-a ( In those days , in those far remote days)

Here ‘u-ri’ is actually the archaic form of “uu -eri” , the light burning and hence the uuzi, the burst of the radiance, the Big Bang that set the cosmic movements  on the march. From the meaning of eri, the burst of light , it has also come to  mean ‘day’  as in Malay hari: day.

Veetaa can be derived from ” sid” : to recite etc. , sid> vid> Ta. vittai, Sk vidhya, Veda etc.

Thus we can see that “Rig Veda” means : the hymns recited in front of Fire  but metaphysically towards the Power that bursts forth as LIGHT and hence that which sets going the whole of the Cosmos,  and hence close to “eri oombal ” of  Sambantar or “erikku veetam”  the kind of ritual that would drive away  the disasters and miseries — kali vaaraamee. Here the contrast  between ‘eri” (fire, light)  and ‘kali= kari” (darkness , poverty miseries etc.) should be noted.   Thus we can see that Rig Veda is a specialized set of hymns that were composed for the special purpose  of Fire Worship  and which appears to have been something special for the Kings in the Sumerian times itself and also for the general purpose of letting there be the metaphysical LIGHT as opposed to the metaphysical darkness.

I shall point out that there is an  abundance of  evidences for this kind of metaphysical sophistication in Rig Veda and which are CONTINUATION of the Sumerian and hence certainly NOT hymns composed by nomadic  tribes who set up camfires  in their nomadic wanderings to kill the cold but rather  by a priesthood long in the making, very sophisticated metaphysical thinkers  and who served the temples as much as the Royal palaces.

Fire Worship in the Temple and the Paarppaans (Brahmanas)

From the Sirbiyam of En Hudu Anna, we can get some interesting evidences not only for the Fire Worship but also its relation to the worship of Ati Paarppaan, or Piramma called also Veetan , Ayan and so forth in Tamil literature and is said to  emerge from the belly  of Tirumaal, the Se-ir maal or Enlil of the Sumerians.

The following lines are to the point.

84. as-im-babbar- (re) na-an (an-na) -kus-u-de-(en)  ( I cannot appease Ashimbabbar)

*Ta. aatim paarppaaree  naa aavanna koocitteeen

85. su-luh-an-ku-ga-ke ni-nam-ma-ni in-kur (  (Lugalanne) has altered the lustrations of holy An and all his (other rites)

*Ta. cuulai aaN kookakee nanammanee i(va)n kuuRu

The ‘babbar” is also used to describe the metal silver , ku-babbar and hence it means brightness , brilliance etc.  The complex ‘as-im-babbar” then can be taken as Ta. aatimpaarppaar, the primordial brilliant deity, where the term ‘paarppaan” is also used for describing Sivam,, the Luminous Being.  Here we can see that aaN is considered the same as as-im-babbar and hence aatipaarppar also as an archetypal presence of BEING as aaN, the Supreme Being, the Ruler of All. The verbal complex “kus-u-de-en ” can be taken as “koocitteen ” where it means reciting loudly as Ta. koocam means loud noise. Thus we can see that Enhudu Anna was in the habit of reciting verses in praise of Ati Paarppaan, a ritual practice which she claims here she could not practice because the rules were changed by his opponent, Lugalanne who arrested  and put her in jail , perhaps as an expression of denying equal rights to women in temple rituals.

The Fraud Called Aryan Invasion Proof


The Myth perpetrated by The British and the propagation of it by the Christian Missionaries cloaked as scholars like Caldwell.

The goal for the West very clear, to destroy the Hindu culture to such an extent that  they embrace the Western thoughts( and this would consolidate the British Empire in India) and hate Indian Thoughts and they have succeeded in this .

Even to-day this is being taught in Indian schools.

Facts.

1.There is no mention of the Dravidians in the Vedas.

The Rik Veda lists the things imported from ‘Dravida’ meaning ‘South’, Pearls,Elephant Tusks.

2.The Vishnu Purana mentions that sage Viswamitra, the Rishi who gave the world the Gayathri mantra, exiled his 56 sons for disobeying him the south of Vindhyas,’Dravida’

3. Earliest Tamil  Grammar, Tholkappiyam, Literature of the Sangam Period do not mention the word ‘Dravida’ at all.

4. Adi Sankaracharya mentions the word ‘Dravida Sisu, to identify Tirugnanasambandar, (who lived around the 7th century,) in his ‘Soundaryalahari’9Sloka 75)

“tava stanyaṃ manye dharaṇidharakanye hṛdayataḥ
payaḥ pārāvāraḥ parivahati sārasvatamiva |
dayāvatyā dattaṃ draviḍaśiśu-rāsvādya tava yat
kavīnāṃ prauḍhānā majani kamanīyaḥ kavayitā || 75 ||

5.The Kings of south India were ardent followers of Vedic Rites.

During the megalithic period of about 1000 BCE – 400 BCE, people of South India including Tamilagam, shared many beliefs and practices of thenative Dravidian religion with the megalithic builders elsewhere in the Indian subcontinent and beyond.[2] The famous 3.5 metre-high granite figure excavated at Mottur, in present-day Vellore district, is considered the oldest known anthropomorphic representation of God in stone in the Tamil country.[3]..

Chera King Perunchotruudhiyan Neduncheralaathan, fed the Panadavas and Kauravas Armies during the Epic war of Mahabharata.

He performed the ‘Tharpana, in his Chera Kingdom, now Kerala for those who died in the War.

The Aryan Invasion of South India.

6.Sage Agastya.

It is believed that the great hermit 
Agastya, who had performed such wonderful deeds by 
the merits of his penance, is still doing penance in the 
Agastya Kuta hills. Agastya who had travelled through- 
out the length and breadth of Bharata had several 
hermitages. In the Valmiki Ramayana, Aranyakanda, 
Sarga 11, a description is given, of a beautiful hermit- 
age of Agastya, and the peaceful atmosphere that 
prevailed in and around it. Agastya had presented to 
Sri Rama a bow got from Visnu, when the brothers 
visited his hermitage. Agastya had accompanied Sri 
Rama and his followers on his return journey to 
Ayodhya from Lanka, with Slta after killing Ravana. 
There is a legend in the Tamilnad that Agastya was a 
member of the first two 'Saiighas' (groups) of the 
"three Sanghas", mentioned in Tamil literature. As 
Agastya was dwarfish he is mentioned as Kurumuni, 
(short hermit) in Tamil works. He has written a Tamil 
grammar on music, literature and drama. But this 
work is not available now. The Tamil Grammar 
'Tolkapyam', which is considered to be the oldest gram- 
mar, was written by Tolkapyar, one of the twelve 
disciples of Agastya< Even today in certain temples in 
the Tamilnad, Agastya-worship is carried on. Kambar, 
has mentioned about Agastya in his Ramayana. A great 
Tamil author Villiputturan says that the Tamil langu- 
age is the beautiful maiden presented by Agastya. 
It is believed that the following works have been com- 
posed by Agastya: 

7. Archaeological Proof.

There are more than 2,500 Archaeological sites, two-thirds of which are along the recently discovered dried up Sarasvati River bed. These sites show a cultural continuity with the Vedic literature from the early Harrapan civilization up to the present day India.
8. Sarasvati River.
Several independent studies of the drying up of the Sarasvati River bed, all indicate the same time period of 1,900 B.C.E.
9.The late dating of the Vedic literatures by indologists is based on speculated dates of 1,500 B.C.E. for the Aryan Invasion and 1,200 B.C.E. for the Rig Veda, both now disproved by scientific evidence.
