  • Rama People Nicaragua Dravidian Origin?

    I have written on the spread of Santana Dharma,Hinduism throughout the world.

    Santana Dharma was present throughout the world since Lord Rama’s period,when the land mass different from what it is today.

    Rama Empire encompassed the world and Rama waged a War against the Atlantis people.

    Please check my article Rama dropped Atom Bomb in Harappa?

    Through various articles I had written that Sanatana Dharma was present in,

    Sri Lanka,Indonesia,Malaysia,Vietnam,Cambodia,Korea,Laos,Japan,New Zealand,Australia,China,Russia,Siberia,Arctic,Antarctica,Iran,Iraq,Lebanon,Turkey,Greece,Italy,Bulgaria,Romania,England,Ireland,Spain,….

    Latin America,US,Central America…

    Please google the country+ramanan50 for relevant articles.

    About a year back I wrote that there seems to be scant information on African Religion which pre dates Christianity.

    It is dismissed as a tribal religion with superstitions.

    The same patronizing attitude is found when people talk about Africans whether they are in Africa or Central America.

    It is incorrect to say so.

    The African civilisation is quite ancient and Africa was a part of either Atlantis or Lemuria or both.

    Please read my artcles on Lemuria and Atlantis for details.

    The term Rama seems to have been prevalent in early religions.

    Sumerian and Minoan civilizations speak of Rama and Rama,Dasaratha and Bharata are found in Sumerian Kings List.

    Lord Rama’s Chapel is found in UR,Iraq.

    The land mass we call as Australia  Americas and Africa were once a part of a super continent,Rodina.

    Santana Dharma was present throughout Rodina.

    Australian tribes perform Shiva’s Trinetra Dance,The Third Eye Dance of Shiva and Australian tribes are found with Lord Vishnu’s marks in their body.

    And Lord Rama’s ancestor Vaivaswatha Manu was from the southern region of equator and meditated in Madagascar when a Tsunami struck the southern region.

    We find the presence of Rama people in Nicaragua!

    People are unable to expalin the origin of these people.

    The language they speak is called the Rama Language.

    It belongs to Kriol group with various subgroups.

    The language sounds to be of Tamil origin.

    The Cameroon people speak rudimentary but ancient Tamil even today.

    Please read my article on this.

    Considering these facts one may postulate that the Rama people might have Tamil,Sanatana Dharma origins.

    Research is to be done

    Shall be researching in this area.

     

    Thousands of years old stone pyramids lay intact deep in the jungle of Indio Maíz, southwestern Nicaragua. Some call it a lost city of ancient Indians, but little is known about the history of these structures. The site, called Canta Gallo, is sacred to Rama people, descendants of the Chibcha Indians.

    “This is where our ancestors used to meet”, our guide Margarito says and points at a giant stair-like stone pyramid amid ground vegetation. He sits calmly on the stairs to tell us some incredible stories with his broken Creole English, mixing in words of Spanish like the Rama Indians do.

    We had traveled eight hours in a small fiberglass boat from already remote San Juan de Nicaragua, overnighted deep in the jungle with chickens and bats, and trampled one hour through thick vegetation to get to Canta Gallo. I didn’t know what to expect, when Salomon, a Rama Indian, who initially brought us down the Rio Indío, asked in the morning if we would like to see the pyramids of Canta Gallo. For sure I wasn’t expecting this.

    After trudging past a few smaller, turtle-like stone structures and those stairs, we finally arrived in the main area, where we spent an hour or so zigzagging midst the ancient Indian pyramids and walls. Rays of the early morning sun cast an air of magic over gigantic rock formations. Bluish gray stone slabs are piled up to form huge stone balls and pyramids that might be over 20 meters in height. The Rama told us that these structures are known to date back from 3000 to 5000 years.

    The Rama are an indigenous people living on the eastern coast of Nicaragua. Since the start of European colonization, the Rama population has declined as a result of disease, conflict, and loss of territory. In recent years, however, the Rama population has increased to around 2,000 individuals. A majority of the population lives on the island of Rama Cay, which is located in the Bluefields Lagoon. Additional small Rama communities are dispersed on the mainland from Bluefields to Greytown.[1] The Rama are one of three main indigenous groups on Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast.

    Due to centuries of colonial suppression the Rama people’s native language is facing extinction. Language revitalization efforts have been made in recent years and have achieved early success in Rama communities. Rama territory is currently being threatened by the Nicaraguan government and foreign investors, who are seeking to develop a transoceanic canal and to extract resources …

    The Rama culture is dependent upon traditional self-sufficient strategies in order to obtain desired substances. While some Rama engage in small-scale commercial fishing, a majority of the population still practices traditional occupations such as subsistence fishing and subsistence farming. Mutual assistance is an important practice in Rama communities and is relied upon for cultural and economic stability.[11] Sexual division of labor exists among the Rama, with males responsible for hunting, fishing, and planting, while the females partake in gathering and domestic duties. Prior to the arrival of missionaries, the Rama population on Rama Cay reportedly lived in homes lacking exterior and interior w

    The word Kriol could mean one of the following ethnic groups:

    It could also mean any of the following Creole languages:

  • Six South Brahmin Groups Settled by Parashurama From Narmada

    I have observed in some of my articles that while we seem to have attempted to explore Indian civilization on the banks of Rivers , Sarasvathi, Ganga and Sindhu we are yet to explore the rivers mentioned repeatedly in the Vedas, Puranas and Ithihasas.

    Parashurama .jpg
    Bhargava Rama, called Parashurama .Avatar of Vishnu

    Also the rivers mentioned by  regional classics.

    The Rivers are.

    Ganga

    Yamuna,

    Godavari,

    Sarasvathi,

    Narmada,

    Sindhu,

    Kaveri.

    • ‘Gangesca yamuneschaiva Godavari Sarasvathi
    • Narmade Sindhu Kaveri Jalesmin Sannithim kuru,

    Snanan Mantra. MANTRA FOR TAKING BATH.

    There are Vaigai, Tamraparani in the present Tamil Nadu and there are references in Tamil classics about Pahruli, Nadu and Peru rivers.

    The Vaigai is closely associated with Lord Shiva and the present Madurai is on the banks of Vaigai river.

    Tamraparani river is in Thirunelveli District of Tamil Nadu and is associated with Sage Agastya and Shiva.

    Pahruli and the other two rivers have submerged and their probable location is near Madagascar.

    I am trying to attempt some of the civilizations on these river banks.

    Narmada is a holy river in the western part of India and one finds Shiva more prominently.

    And Dwaraka of Krishna was in the present Gujarat.

    Hindu texts mention two migrations from this valley.

    Both due to Tsunami.

    Latest Tsunami after Mahabharata War resulted in Sage Agastya bringing 71 Families from there and settling them in the present Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

    These settlers in Tamil Nadu ruled the border areas of Karnataka, Coimbatore, Dharma puri, Salem and Erode areas as Velirs, small kingdoms under the three great kingdoms of Chera, Chola and Pandya

    .I have written on this.

    Another migration seems to have been there before Ramayana period and this seems to have been led by Bhargava Rama, popularly known as Parashurama.

    He shifted families from the Narmada Area to the south , to Kerala, Konkan coast Maharashtra and Goa.

    Detailed post on this follows.

    Parashurama, born a Brahmana took upon the responsibilities of a Kshtriya by waging war against Kshatriyas.

    He settled the immigrant families from Narmada and settled them in Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.

    These six groups of Brahmins settled by Parashurama are,

    1. Anavil

    2. Dravidulu.

    3. BHumihar

    4. Tyagi.

    5. Chitpuvan and

    6. Nambbodiris.

    The practices of these Brahmins differ slightly from Vedic Brahmins.

    ‘Parashurama is worshipped as mūlapuruṣa, or male ancestral founder by some Anavil , Dravidulu, Bhumihar,Tyagi ,Chitpavan , Nambudiri Brahmin communities. Along with the sages Vyasa, Kripaand Drona’s son Ashwatthama, Parashurama is considered to be foremost among the rishis in the Kaliyuga.Parashurama will also become one of the saptarishi in the 8th Manvantara

    This, coupled with the regions the were settled is a mine of History which I shall write in detail.

  • Sanatana Dharma Tamil Coexisted in Indus Valley Tamil Towns

    The relationship between Tamil and Sanatana Dharma is intriguing.

    Their relationship is one of cordiality , mutual respect and admiration for each other.

    The Tamil Kings are spoken of highly in the Vedas and Puranas.

    They were invited to the Swayamvara of. Damayanthi, who predates Lord Rama, Rama Sita marriage, Draupadi Swayamvara and Yudhistra’s Rajasuya Yaga.

    Tamil King Udiyan Cherallathan provided food for both the Pandava and Kaurava armies during the Mahabharata War.

    Sananat Dharma spread around he world
    Vedic India

    Madurai Meenakshi’s father Malayathdwaja participated in the Mahabharata war fighting along side the Pandavas.

    Lord Krishna was invited to Tamil Poets ‘Conclave at Madurai(probably the Thenmadurai, now sunk) and he participated in it.

    Krishna and Arjuna married Pandyan Princesses;Krishna had a daughter and had her married to a Pandyan Prince, while Arjuna had a son.

    Krishna’s elder brother Balarama visited south and worshiped Lord Subrahmanya.

    And of course Parashurama, who established the present Kerala.

    Sage Viswamitra’s descendant  Apasthamba wrote the Veda Sutra called Apasthama Sutra by integrating Tamil practices like Thaali, Mangalya, which is not found in the Vedas.

    Brahmins in the south of India follow Apasthamba sutra even today.

    Rama’ ancestor Vaivaswatha Manu migrated from the south to Ayodhya to found Ikshvaku Dynasty.

    Manu migrated to Ayodhya because of a Tsunami recorded in Tamil Classic, Sangam Literature.

    So there should have been no presence of any dynasty in the north if we go by this hypothesis .

    However there was a Chola king, who ruled from North, much before the great Flood.

    He was King Sibi and Cholas call themselves the descendants of Kashyapa.

    This Sibi is mentioned in Tamil Literature  and in Puranas a belonging to Suryavansh.

    He built a temple near Srirangam in Tamil Nadu for Lord Vishnu.

    It is the Thiruvellarai Pundareekakshar temple, about 20km from Srirangam

    Sibi is reported to have fought an army of Asuras here.

    Asuras mean powerful, yet evil intentioned.

    King Sibi ruled from Pakistan?

    And we have a a site of about a Million years in Chennai which belongs to advanced Tamil civilization.

    Another one is at Adhichanallur which dates back to 11000 years.

    Thee site  refer to Sanatana Dharma.

    And Sanatana Dharma refer Tamils!

    Tamil Brahmi is found in Harappa.

    Tamil Sangam period Towns,harbor names are found in Indus Valley Civilization.

    Thee names are.

    Lord Rama, whose name is found in the  Sumerian King List as a King of Sumer,along with Dasaratha and Bharata, fought a war against Atlantis people to help Horus , on of Osiris,.

    Leading Osiris’s Egyptian armies was Osiris’ eldest son Horus. After Osiris’ unfortunate ‘death’, Horus succeeded his father as king of the Libyan/Egyptian Empire. Intuitively, Horus knew what would happen when they landed in Libya. He completely distrusted his uncle. Horus persistently warned his father about Seth’s stubbornness and treachery. Osiris, believing in the goodness of the human heart, initially ignored his son’s advice. Subsequently, Osiris landed in Libya and after Seth’s abdication became Emperor’

    After the demise of Osiris, his son Horus entered into a pact with Rama Empire(Emperor Zata’ar’s eldest son, Prince Rama.) to defeat Seth, the usurper.’

    The Atlantis army met with Rama’s Army in Rishi City, now in Pakistan…..

    There were four ancient empires.

    Rama’s Empire,

    Atlantis Empire,

    Uighur Empire and

    Lemurian Empire.

    Of these Uighur was not very advanced and Lemuria which had been on the wane was trying to recoup.

    They were suppressed by the Atlantis people.

    In the Atlantis, Osiris’ son Horus entered into an alliance with Rama to defeat Seth who was trying to become independent in the Sumerian valley.

    Rama Dropped Atom Bomb Mohenjo daro

    This means that Mohenjo Daro was a flourishing civilization before the Rama War with Atlantis people.

    Yet there was a  Chola King much before the advent of Rama.

    The contention of Dr Parpola and the Dravidian politicians of Tamilnadu is that Tamils have descended form the IVC locations of North India. The verse by poet Kapilar in fact traces the origins of the King IrungoveL to Dwaraka. He says that he belonged to the 49th generation of the king who was born of the Sacrificial Fire conducted by the sage of the North. This king ruled Dwaraka, so says the poet. Reserving the other details of this verse for a future post, I am now concentrating on another description in that song.

    ( There is another interpretation on the interpretatiion of  the term Sacrificial fire

    Kapilar describes Dwaraka as being surrounded by walls made of copper.

    நீயே, வடபால் முனிவன் தடவினுள் தோன்றிச்,
    செம்பு புனைந்து இயற்றிய சேண்நெடும் புரிசை,
    உவரா ஈகைத், துவரை ஆண்டு,
    நாற்பத்து ஒன்பது வழிமுறை வந்த
    வேளிருள் வேளே!
    This means “O king IrungoveL! you were the 49th king in the lineage of the king, who was born of the sacrificial fire conducted by the sage and ruled Dwarka which was surrounded by long / tall walls of copper.”

    From the commentary that Dr U.Ve.Sa found out form the palm leaf manuscripts :-
    “நீ தான் வட பக்கத்து முனிவனுடைய ஓம குண்டத்தின் கண் தோன்றிச் செம்பால் புனைத்து செய்தாலொத்த சேய்மையை உடைத்தாகிய நெடிய மதிலை உடைய துவராவதி என்னும் படை வீட்டை ஆண்டு, வெறுப்பில்லாத கொடையினை உடையராய் நாற்பத்தொன்பது தலைமுறை தொன்றுபட்டு வந்த வேள்களுள் வைத்து வேளாய்உள்ளாய்!”..

     ‘This king was not in Dwaraka when Kapilar met him and sang this verse. He was ruling some part of the western ghats in present day’s Karnataka. This Vel’s kingdom was different from the Tamil lands of the 3 kings (Chera, Chola and Pandya). The next verse was on the same king sung by Kapilar in which he describes his land in the hills.
    This king’s palace was not surrounded by walls of copper. Copper walls were there in the kingdom of his ancestors in Dwaraka.Assuming that 3 kings lived per century, we can say that 1600 years have passed by the time this 49th king had come into being. The period of this king is not exactly known, but can be deciphered from Kapilar’s other connections. Kapilar was a close friend of another VeL king, Paari who was killed by the 3 Tamil kings. Kapilar took care of Parri’s orphaned daughters and approached another Vel king, IrungoveL to request him to marry the two daughters of Paari. This verse contains that request.

    https://ramanisblog.in/2016/01/28/irungovel-tamil-king-and-hoysalas-founder-the-same/

     So there seems to be a Dynasty belonging to Suryavansh in the North and it declined or swallowed by Tsunami from the Arabian Sea, this could have  either the second or the  first Great flood mentioned in the Tamil Classics.

    And we have references to Sage Agastya, settling the people from the sinking Dwaraka  in Tamil Nadu and the present Karnataka.

    Considering all this I proposed that there could have been two Tamil Empires.

    As t whether Tamils came from the Sanatana Dharma people or vice versa, it is difficult t postulate.

    I am providing an abstract from one theory on this.

    Abstract

    Can Sankam corpus, the ancient extant Dravidian literature, be a source to identify the language of the Indus script; a collateral evidence to estimate the ethno-linguistic composition of Indus Civilization? I seek to answer this question in affirmative.

    I have located a group of place names in the Indus –Harappan geographies (modern Pakistan and adjoining regions), which I choose to call as “Korkay, Vanji, Tondi Complex.” This ‘complex’ contains perfect parallels to “Korkai-Vanji-Tondi” and many other geographical names and anthroponyms attested in Sankam Tamil texts.

    I propose that these identical name-heritage complexes of the north-western geographies and the extreme south provide reliable markers for the probable migration of Dravidians following the collapse of Indus Valley Civilization. I call in the evidence of “bone-eating camel” described in Akananooru as a testimony for the earlier presence of Dravidians in the north-western geographies (particularly Gujarat).

    And, I conclude that the Sankam corpus in part represents the ‘carried forward memories’ of a remote past, the coordinates of which can be traced back to the Indus Valley Civilization and late Harappan cultures and relevant geographies.’

    http://new.modernrationalist.com/2013/07/tamil-indus-korkayvanjitondiin-the-north-west-and-a-bone-eating-camel-in-the-cankam-text/

    My view is that there were two cultures, Tamil and Sanatana Dharma coexisting , thugh slightly different in their approach to Life.

    That these two acknowledge their differences yet respected each other i a great lesson for us.

  • Two Tamil Empires In India Northwest, South India? Missing History

    I have written articles in detail about the Kings of India, as listed in the Puranas and other Sanskrit texts of India.

    Kings List of India by Puranas Vaidated

    I have also listed the Kings List of Tamil from 400 BC 

    dd80b-haeckel_1868_lemuria

    Lord Krishna married a Pandyan Princess and had a daughter whom he married her off to a Pandyan Prince.

    Arjuna married a Pandyan Princess from Manalur Tamil Nadu and had a son.

    Tamil Chera King Perunchotru Udiyan Neduncheralathan fed both Pandava and Kaurava army during the Mahabharata Battle..

    Sahadeva and Balarama  were on a Pilgrimage to South and Balarama worshiped Lord Subrahmanya in Tamil Nadu.

    Parashurama established the present Kerala.

    One issue intrigued me.

    We had the Mahabharata War, there was a deluge later and Dwaraka was submerged.

    Sage Agastya took families from Dwaraka and had them settled in what is now Karnataka and those who had settled in Tamil Nadu were called ‘Velirs’ and they had small Kingdoms in places like what is now called Krishnagiri and Dharmapuri.They took sides between the Cheras, Cholas and Pandyas depending on the exigencies.

    Kanndigas from Yadava Tribe

    This would imply, at the time of the Tsunami which devoured Dwaraka, these people were moved by Agastya to South.

    The same Tsunami, called as ‘kadalkol’ in Tamil devoured the South as well.

    This Tsunami, incidentally is the third to strike the South, according to Tamil Literature and this is validated by foreign Flood legends and archaeology..

    Now the issue is if people were moved from Dwaraka and settled in Tamil Nadu, it should have been after the Tsunami died down.

    Then what happened to the Tamils living in the south during the period just before the Tsunami?

    Where did they go?

    The references to Tamil kings are found in the Ramayana which mention them as belonging to earlier period than Rama.

    To be specific Tamil Kings were present in Damayanti Swayamvara.

    There is Nala Theertha, a sacred pond where people take bath to be rid of Saturn, Shani’s influence, like Sade Saathi,seven and a half years.

    The pond is in Thirunallar, Pondicherry and is famous for Shani temple.

    Shiva worship preceded  in south even  before Vedic Period.

    While Subrahmanya and  Shiva merit only a limited mention in the Vedas, they are the principle Deities in the Dravida Desa.

    And there was a Tamil Kingdom, Elamite, now the term has become corrupted to be Elam.

    The Elamite people lived around the present Iran and spoke a Language which has been traced to Tamil.

    And some tribes in Iran speak this language which resembles Tamil even today!

    The Tamils were referred to as Dramila in Vedic texts.

    The Mediterranean Peoples (Dravidians)

    (Extracts from ‘The Original Indians — An Enquiry’ by Dr. A. Desai)

    How the Mediterranean people came to be called Dravidians makes interesting story. The Pre-Hellenistic Lycians of Asi Minor, who where probably the Mediterranean stock called themselves Trimmili. Another tribe of this branch in the island of Crete was known by the name Dr(a)mil or Dr(a)miz. In ancient Sanskrit writings we find the terms Dramili and Dravidi, and then Dravida which referred to the southern portion of India.

    South India was known to the ancient Greek and Roman geographers as Damirica or Limurike. Periplus Maris Erithroei (Periplus of the Eritrean Sea) in the second or third century AD described the maritime route followed by Greek ships sailing to the South Indian ports: “Then follow Naoura and Tundis, the first marts of Limurike and after these Mouziris and Nelkunda, the seats of government.â€

    Dramila, Dravida and Damirica indicated the territory. Then it was applied to the people living in the territory and the language they spoke, in the local parlance Tamil and Tamil Nadu or Tamilakam.’ https://2ndlook.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/dravidian-history-no-one-talks-about/

    Later texts speak of them as Dravida?

    Sibi ruled from Pakistan

    Not to forget the fact that Vaivaswatha Manu , ancestor of Rama lived in the south and moved to Ayodhya after the Tsunami.Please read my article   on this.

    Is there a subtle message here?

    Yes,

    This accounts for the missing chapters in Tamil and  Bharatvarsha History and this would reconcile the seeming inconsistencies in Indian History.

    I am looking into the links between Sanatana Dharma and Minoan Civilisation.

    I have some information Linking the pre roman, pre christian to Vedic civilization.

    Etruscan civilisation existed around 8 century 2 BC in Italy and is believed to have ruled the whole of Italy.

    But very little information is available about them.

    One of the reasons, like what christianity has done to African Religion, is the systematic obliteration of the Etruscan civilisation and its history by the Romans.

    “Etruscan civilization is the modern English name given to a civilization of ancient Italy. Its homeland was in the area of central Italy, just north of Rome, which is today called Tuscany.

    Hanuman Rama Sita in Pre Roman Etruscan civilization

    The Sanatana link to the present civilizations is not visible directly as except Sanatan Dharma all other civilizations that existed  between Santana Dharma and the present civilizations have disappeared.

    If one digs patiently  and traces history of these lost civilizations, one would find that the root of world civilizations is Sanatana Dharma.

    My articles deal with these facts.

    Now information on Rome and Italy.

    ‘assussanni a form of the Sanskrit asva-sani meaning ‘horse trainer’,
    aika wartanna meaning one turn (cf. Vedic Sanskrit ek vartanam),
    tera wartanna meaning three turns (cf. Vedic Sanskrit tri vartanam),
    panza wartanna meaning five turns (cf. Vedic Sanskrit panca vartanam),
    satta wartanna meaning seven turns (cf. Vedic Sanskrit sapta vartanam), and
    navartanna meaning nine turns (cf. Vedic Sanskrit nava vartanam).
    [Regrettably, writers do not mention the Old Iranian equivalents.]

    Hindu Kings of Iraq Turkey Syria Lebanon Egypt Italy

    I have come across information  that Rome was founded on Rama Navami Day, the Birth Day of Lord Rama.

    ‘According to tradition, on April 21, 753 B.C., Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, found Rome on the site where they were suckled by a she-wolf as orphaned infants. Actually, the Romulus and Remus myth originated sometime in the fourth century B.C., and the exact date of Rome’s founding was set by the Roman scholar Marcus Terentius Varro in the first century B.C.

    “On this day the Romans keep a festival which they call the birthday of the city. At this feast, originally, we are told, they sacrificed nothing that has life, but thought it right to keep the anniversary of the birth of the city pure and unpolluted by blood.” (page 38, Chapter XII)( Plutarch’s Lives, Volume 1 )

    Plutarch cites Lucius Taroutius Firmanus, a Roman astrologer, in reference to the founding date of April 21st:

    “Rome was founded by him on the ninth day of the month Pharmouthi, between the second and third hour; for it is supposed that the fortunes of cities, as well as those of men, have their certain periods which can be discovered by the position of the stars at their nativities.” (pg. 39, Plutarch’s Lives, Volume 1, Chapter XII)
    Much like the astrological/astronomical fixing of holy dates in the Hindu lunar calendar, ancient Europeans and Middle Eastern cultures (i.e. Egypt) used similar principles when describing and setting specific historical dates. They meticulously noted down the exact position of stars and other astronomical bodies in the sky, at least during special circumstances. One such time was the founding day of Roma, the eternal city whose fortunes were prefixed by the astrological arrangement on Rama’s birthday. Pharmuthi in the Egyptian calendar corresponds to March-April in the Julian calendar and more importantly, Chaitra in the Vedic lunar calendar.
    Hindus celebrate the birth of Rama on the ninth day of Chaitra, the first month in their lunar calendar. Since scholars recognize that the oldest Egyptian calendar must have been lunar as well, one can clearly see these congruent dates in Pharmuthi and Chaitra are no mere coincidence.
    Indians worship the Sun God at the beginning of this day, as King Rama appeared in the Solar Dynasty (Surya-vansha), meaning he claims direct descent within the Sun God’s lineage. Hindu devotees customarily fast on this day, much like the Romans abstained from eating flesh. Legend has it that Lord Rama took birth at midday, and Hindus perform special prayers and make offerings into a ceremonial fire (homa) in the evening. Whether the Romans conducted more elaborate rituals similar to this, remains to be uncovered but is unknown. Given that Italy is about 3-4 hours behind India in the time zones, if Rome was founded in the morning, then it must have been around noon time (12 p.m.) in India, thereby coinciding with Rama’s time of birth. The Sanskrit word Para-Murthi, meaning Supreme Idol, may be the origin of the Egyptian Pharmuthi.
    Plutarch himself essentially confirms this truth:
    Romulus “consecrated his city, having fetched men from Etruria, who taught him how to perform it according to sacred rites and ceremonies, as though they were celebrating holy mysteries.” (pg. 38, Plutarch’s Lives, Volume 1, Chapter XI)
    Little Rama.

    We know that Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus – twins suckled by an Etruscan she-wolf. If you don’t know, just ask. These curious twins a dual origin – as dual like they were. First an Etruscan origin, but there is another. Which one? The investigation begins.

    ….Seek what their names mean, these wild children. First Remus – says good oldGaffiot?

    Let’s have a look at his brother Romulus : the suffix -ulus is recognized, a diminutive which means little.Romulus, Little Rom. Or Little Ram? Really good old Rama left living traces of his passage everywhere – traces still visible today in our lexicons. Romulus is son of the god Rama, his name is quite simply Little Rama. Later, when Romulus has founded Rome, the Etruscan tribe Ramnes or Ramnensès became his army. Ram Nes, those of Ram. Note also that Rome – or rather Roma – is the city of Rama.

    Similarly Rom people, or Roms, are descendants of Rama and his clan. Throughout his progress towards far east, Ram founded cities where he left his faithful people – heirs of his blood and manners. They founded ramaïques lines, most of which are still recognizable today.
    Whether Romulus was the son of Ram in the flesh or in the spirit, is hard to decide. Certainly many millennia have passed since the birth of Ram when Roma was founded.
