  • Rama Ruled Thirty One Years Not 11000

    Rama Ruled Thirty One Years Not 11000

    I have written on the  dates associated with Lord Rama.

    Birth/Deha Vyoha,

    Marriage,

    Leaving for  the forest with Sita,

    When Hanuman met Sita,

    Ravana was killed and

    Rama returned and was coronated.

    Lord Rama Dates

    These dates were arrived at by researchers looking into the Astronomical details found in the Valmiki Ramayana.

    And I have written an article on how Rama’s death preceded Krishna’s only by 200 years and explained it.

    Now how many years did Lord Rama rule?

    1.Rama went on Vanavas in his 25th year.

    25+ 14 years in exile = 39.

    He ascended the throne on his 39th year.

    If he is to have ruled for 11,000 years, then according to Ahoreva samvatsar, it comes to 31 years.

    AHOREVA Samvarsara.

    In this system Of calculation of Time by ancient Indians,one day and one night was reckoned as One year.

    Shall be writing on different calculations of Time by ancient Indians.

    ‘

    Bheema to Yudhishtira:-

    O Bharata, it is, also said by those versed in morality that one day and night is, O great prince, equal unto a full year. The Veda text also, exalted one, is often heard, signifying that a year is equivalent to a day when passed in the observance of certain difficult vows. O thou of unfading glory, if the Vedas are an authority with thee, regard thou the period of a day and something more as the equivalent of thirteen years.

    ‘Every day a person is born anew with the sunrise. Coming to live to see the next sunrise is like having finished one year and starting another year.  That is the import.

    2.Another explanation for eleven thousand years is that these were being uttered as a Swasthi Vaakya,that is either as a Blessing by elders or the reverential words of one who pays his respects to one whom he reveres.

  • Rama Pattabhisheka Pitru Welfare Happiness Children Valmiki

    People are aware of the benefits of reciting the Sundara Kanda of Ramayana.

     

    Rama Pattbhisheka grants  good results,declares Valmiki.

     

    Rama Pattabhishekam.

     

    Reciting the Pattabhisheka Sarga on seven or nine days will yield very good results.

     

    Naivedyam.

     

    Panaka,Neermor,Vada and Sakkarai Pongal.

     

    Other procedures as explained in my post Procedures for Sundara Kanda Parayana.

     

     

    What are the beneficial results by Rama Pattabhisheka Parayana.

     

    On hearing the narrative of his coronation in this world, a person seeking for,

     

    sons gets sons.

     

    for wealth, gets the riches.

     

    A king conquers the earth and overcomes his enemiesven as Kausalya, the mother has Rama as her living son, or as Sumitra has Lakshmana or as Kaikeyi has Bharata, the women likewise can become mothers of living sons, endowed with children as well as grand children and thus become happy forever.

     

    a person gets longevity to life. He or she, who hears with attention and with a subdued anger, this poetic composition done by Valmiki long ago, that person overcomes the difficulties.

    Whoever hears this poetical composition written by Valmiki long ago, they at the conclusion of their absence from home, meet their relatives and get rejoiced. They get all the boons, entreated from Rama.

    All the gods get pleased with those who carefully listen to it.

    Whoever carefully listens to the epic in his house, all obstacles come to an end. A king conquers the earth. A person staying away from home, fares well. On hearing the epic, the menstruating women give birth to excellent sons. The adorer and the reader of this ancient epic gets relieved of all sins and obtains longer life.

    The epic is to be listened by warrior-class, after offering their salutation with their heads bent low, from brahmins every day regularly.

    There is no doubt that the listener and the reader of this entire Ramayana will get lordship and the birth of a son.

    Rama gets forever pleased with him who listens to or reads Ramayana daily.

    He is indeed the eternal Vishnu, the Lord of preservation.

    Rama is the primordial Lord, clearly placed before the eyes the powerful Lord removing the sins and the great-armed; who has abode on waters (of the ocean of milk) Sesha (the serpent-god forming his couch is said to be Lakshmana.

    Tell this epic which occurred long ago in this manner, to those who ask for it, fearlessly. Let there be happiness to you! Let the strength of Vishnu increase! By studying and listening to this epic, all the gods get appeased. By listening to this Ramayana, the forefathers forever get pleased.

    To those persons who transcribe with devotion this collection of poems depicting the story of Rama residence in heaven is assured

    By listening to this highly meaningful and auspicious poetical composition, a person gets family-prosperity, augmentation in money and grain, superior women, exquisite happiness and all the acquisition of wealth on this earth.

    This narrative is to be listened invariably by good people, seeking for wisdom, longevity, health, fame, fraternity, intelligence, welfare and brilliance.
