  • Ravana 10000 Years Old Mummy Found In Lanka?

    There was a Facebook share by my son about the body of Ravana, mummified being found in Lanka.

    The Link stated that Ussanagoda , Sri Lanka had Ravana’s Mummy.

    The Mummy was found in a Stone casket ,buried in a Mountain cave.

    The Body was found to have been embalmed.

    The share contained a Video in Tamil, by Lotus News.

    This is news to me and I verified the facts.

    I found videos from Aajtak on the same issue.

    In the same searches I also found that Ravana’s treasures were found in a cave.

    Some inscriptions were found on the walls where the Mummy was found.

    It was reported that the body was buried in a Stone casket.

    The Mummy is reported to be of eighteen feet and is dated around 10, 000 BC.

    But the fact is that a reluctant Vibhishana cremated Ravana’s Body.

    And as Vibishana ruled after Ravana there is no chance of Ravana’s treaures having been hidden in a cave.

    Ravana, being Vedic scholar and a Brahmin, there is no chance of his body having been buried.

    It was cremated  as per  the Vedic Rites.

    Valimiki in his Ramayana describes the cremation of Ravana by Vibhishana thus.

    ‘

    Having heard the words of Rama, Vibhishana in haste began to do obsequies to Ravana, his dead brother. Entering the City of Lanka, that Vibhishana, the lord of demons, quickly concluded the Agnihotra (the act of pouring oblations into the sacred fire) carried on by Ravana.Vibhishana actually caused to be brought together, carts, excellent varieties of firewood, the three sacred fires and the priests required to officiate at the obsequies, logs of sandalwood, various types of firewood, pieces of fragrant aloe-wood, odorous perfumes, as well as gems, pearls and corals.

    Surrounded with demons, he came back for a while and thereupon, Vibhishana along with malyavan (the father of his own mother) initiated the obsequies.Placing Ravana, the lord of demons, who was covered with linen, accompanied by blasts of various musical instruments as well as panegyrists singing his the Brahmanas (forming part of the demon’s race, which was apparently divided into four classes, like human beings) stood around him with their faces filled in tears. Lifting up that palanquin, which had been decorated with colorful flags and flowers and taking up blocks of wood, all the demons for their part, with Vibhishana in front, proceeded with their face turned towards the south.

    Those sacrificial fires were ignited and re-animated, as they were, by Adhvaryu priests, the performers of the sacrificial act, at that time. Those sacrificial fires were contained in earthen pots and went in front of Ravana’s body. All those women of the gynaecium, while weeping, followed at his heels with quick paces, stumbling, as they were, on all sides.

    Keeping the body of Ravana on a consecrated spot, Vibhishana and others, who were very much afflicted with grief, piled up a sacred pyre, with logs of sandalwood, moistened with perfumes called Padmaka and Koshira and covered with the skin of black antelopes, turned about to perform the obsequies in accordance with Vedic rites in honour of the king.

    They performed the ancestral oblations to Ravana in a superb way. They constructed an altar in the south-east the funeral pile) and placed the sacred fire in its proper place. They poured a ladle-full of ghee mixed with curds on his shoulders, placed a cart at his feet and then a wooden mortar at his thighs.

    Having set at their proper place, all the wooden vessels (used in Agnihotra), the lower piece of wood used for kindling fire at a sacrifice and the upper piece of wood (which is rotated at great speed on to lower one, to produce fire by friction), the wooden pestle and other things used in the sacrifice, they circled around the funeral pyre.

    According to ordinance laid down by eminent sages and according to the rules viewed in Vedas, having sacrificed a goat fit for sacrifice at that spot, the demons dampened with ghee on Ravana the King of demons. Having decorated the body of Ravana with perfumes, garlands and various kinds of clothes; those demons accompanied by Vibhishana, distressed as they were in their minds, poured parched grains of rice, with their faces bathed in tears.

    That Vibhishana set fire to Ravana, according to the rules in the scriptures. Washing himself and offering in his wet clothes, according to scriptural ordinance, sesame seeds mixed with water, as well as blades of Kusha grass and offering obeisance to Ravana by bowing his head, Vibhishana entreated those women to return, consoling them again and again. Then, all of the returned to the City.’

    ‘

    August 3, 2008 – A tight slap on so called “scholars” who profess scientific approach,the recent discovery by Srilanka govt has certainly caused ripples amongst such people.

    The Archaeological department has found convincing evidence suggesting existence of Ravana, in the mountain range of Noroliya.The experts say that Ravana ruled SriLanka about 10000 years ago, and he possesed ‘Pushpak Viman’ (Aeroplanes) and had constructed about 5 Airports on the highest point of Noroliya mountain ranges.

    Also a mummy of Ravana has been found in a cave located in one of the hills.Some balm seem to be applied to the body for preserving it, along with some metallic ornaments.

    Ravan had his own Aeroplanes,which resembled ‘Eagles’ and also constructed a workshop for repairing the same.Aerodromes which were built by him were destroyed in attack by Lord Ram with a fire weapon(when he had gone to Lanka for retrieving Sita mai).The stones which were damaged during this fiery attack are still found there.And dating has revealed them to be about 10,000 yrs old.’

  • Whom Did Lord Rama Worship?

    Whom Did Lord Rama Worship?

    My Posts are an attempt to unravel our History, which has been distorted ,erased beyond imagination by the Britishers and other westerners at the instance of the Vatican and the special effort of the Britishers to Divide India and rule it, by sowing seeds of mistrust, disrespect for our scriptures.

    Rameshwaram.jpg
    Rameshwaram, where Rama worshiped Shiva.

    This was achieved by totally erasing some of our texts,by having the ancient manuscripts shipped abroad, by introducing English as a Medium of instruction totally banishing India Languages, especially Sanskrit and by pseudo Indologists like Max Mueller,a  Missionary by initially trying to write honestly and later interpolating meanings of the Vedas that would make a mockery of Hinduism.

    I am trying to piece together our History , thanks to the web, where wittingly or unwittingly the suppressed information about Santana Dharma is available.

    It takes a considerable effort to locate them.

    That has been the purpose of my Blog, apart from informing the younger generation about how they are inheritors of a Great Culture.

    In this process some times information is likely to surface, which may not be palatable to some Hindus even.

    For example the information that Vedas do not prohibit women from performing Sraddha or having Upanayana performed for them

    Or there is no such thing temple worship.

    Or there is no Caste by Birth.

    Now I am presenting information about the Avatars of Vishnu,Rama here.

    Similar information on other Avatars follows.

    After the Vedic period there have been unsavoury pollution of Sanatana Dharam with many schools of Thoughts coming into force, some denying the Vedas, some denying God, but believing in the Vedas,then sects Saivism and Si Vaishnavam

    The last one took an ugly turn with each accusing the other and one sect insulting Vishnu and another Shiva.

    All are wrong and they do not carry the authority of the Vedas, notwithstanding what the Puranas say.

    For a Hindu, the Vedas are The Authority, period,

    Now to the question of whom did Lord Rama worship, one depends on Valmiki Ramayana and other Ramayana also by Valmiki.

    Now Valmiki Ramayana is the one being accepted as the source.

    Lord Rama belonged to Surya Vamsa, the Solar Dynasty.

    As such Surya the Sun is their Deity.

    That Surya is considered as the expression of Vishnu is another matter.\

    However Lord Krishna says , in the Bhagavad Gita,otherwise.

    He says He is Vishnu, not as the other way.

    Adhityaanam aham  Vishnu and not as

    Vishnunnam Aham Adhitya.

    So Rama. following family Traditions, worshiped Surya.

    Apart from this Rama worshiped Shiva a couple of times the important one being His Worship of Lord Shiva, at Rameswaram to rid of the Brahmahathi Dosha accrued by killing Ravana, a vedicV scholar.

    Rama also worshiped Surya in the battle field for mental strength and victory, at the instance of Sage Agastya.

    Thus was born the Adhitya Hrudayam Sloka.

    Rama also seemed to have worshiped Devi though Valmiki does not mention this in Ramayana.

    ‘As per Patteeshwaram Ashtabhuja Durga Temple stala, it is noted that the worship of Devi Durga owes its origin to ShreeRam. In the ‘Ramayana’, as it goes, Rama went to ‘Lanka’ to rescue his abducted wife, Sita, from the grip of Ravana, the king of the Demons in Lanka. Before starting for his battle with Ravana, Rama wanted the blessings of Devi Durga . He came to know that the Goddess would be pleased only if she is worshipped with one hundred ‘NeelKamal’ or blue lotuses. Rama, after travelling the whole world, could gather only ninety nine of them. He finally decided to offer one of his eyes, which resembled blue lotuses. Durga, being pleased with the devotion of Rama, appeared before him and blessed him…

    ..he correctness of Ramayana is that the story is based on the Ramayana, but does not actually come in the Ramayana text of Valmiki. It is found in various Puranas. When Rama was going to cross the ocean, some texts describe that He performed worship of Durga Devi to inform her of His intentions of invading Lanka. The reason for this is that Durga was the protector of Kuvera’s island of Lanka before it was taken by Ravana. As such, it was proper etiquette for Rama, acting as a human king, to inform Durga Devi that He was about to invade her area of control. In this story, Rama acts as a yajaman, and Brahma acts as a priest who performs the sacrifice to please Durga Devi.

    In the sattvika puranas, the story is described that Rama prays to Durga, and Durga replies, “I am your external shadow energy. What ever you wish to do, I am your servant.” This is along the lines of the text “shrishti-sthiti-pralaya-sadhana-shaktir eka chayeva yasya bhuvanani bibharti durga” found in the scriptures. Durga Devi (Maha Maya) is the shadow energy of Lord Narayana.

    In the rajasika puranas the story is described differently. When Rama calls to Durga, she refuses to appear. Then Rama pierces his eye with an arrow, and Durga Devi appears crying tears of blood.

    Throughout the Puranas and various versions of the Ramayana we find a variation of three types of puja Rama did, either to Shiva, Durga or Brahma. It is likely that the variations are due to yuga-bheda, or the minor differences that occur in different ages. The Rama-lila is performed every Treta-yuga, and as such it has occurred thousands of times with many variations. We do not know from which time period the stories are recorded in each book. Thus there are many seemingly contradictory descriptions in the Puranas. It is described that Jambavan, the vanara devotee of Lord Rama, takes part in each incarnation of Rama in the same body. The cosmic cycles of time are moving like seasons, and these histories are played out in every age on schedule.
    http://www.bvashram.org/articles/48/1/Di…

    Finally, depending on Valmiki Ramayana, the sage Agastiya suggested Rama is found correct and nowhere it is found Durga worship by Rama. Only sage Agastiya adviced Rama to conquer in the battle field by worshipping the Surya, the sun-god rendering Aditya Hridayam. Rama accepted the sage Agastiya’s advice and worshipped.’

    I have posted quite a few posts where Rama is shown to have worshiped Shiva many times.

    And his ancestor Bhagiratha brought Ganges to Earth by severe peneance to Lord Shiva.

    Based on these texts, Lord Rama worshiped Shiva and Surya.

  • Read Straight Rama Story Reverse Palindrome Ramakrishna Vilomakavyam

    Sanskrit is language, when handled by experts can do anything including conveying two stories separated by thousands of years, with totally different content.

    An example of this adaptability of Sanskrit can be seen in Magha’s Sisupala Vadha, where the verses form a Wheel!

    The Link to this Post is given at the close of this Post.

    There are Sanskrit slokas which convey both the Stories of Rama and Krishna in a Single verse, in A Palindrome Format.

    You read straight, you get Ramayana.

    Read it in the reverse order, Krishna’s Life Story.

    I am providing below the  Raghava  Yadaviyam by Venkathdhvari( 17 Century)

    Krishna and Rama.jpg
    Krishna and Rama.

    ‘

    This poetic composition, which was written by the scholar Dyvagyna Surya
    Pandita in the 14th Century, is a marvelous example of palindromic verses.
    It also has another speciality – This set of poems, when read forward
    relate to Rama and the Ramayana, and when read in reverse relate to Krishna
    and the Mahabharata.(Forward) तं भूसुतामुक्तिमुदारहासं वन्दे यतो भव्यभवम् दयाश्रीः ।”I pay my homage to Him who rescued Sita, whose laughter is captivating,
    whose incarnation is
    grand, and from whom mercy and splendor arise everywhere.”(Backward) श्रीयादवं भव्यभतोयदेवं संहारदामुक्तिमुतासुभूतम् ॥

    “I bow before that Sri Krishna, the descendent of Yaadava family; who is a
    divinity of the sun as
    well as the moon; who destroyed Putana who only gave destruction; and who
    is the soul of all
    this universe.”..

Raghava Yadaviyam
Raghava-yadaviyam by Venkatadhvari (17th cent.) is an “anuloma-viloma kavya” that narrates the story of Rama. But the Shlokas read in the reverse relate an adventure of Shri Krishna.

    वन्देऽहं देवं तं श्रीतं रन्तारं कालं भासा यः ।
    रामो रामाधीराप्यागो लीलामारायोध्ये वासे ॥

    “I pay my obeisance to Lord Shri Rama, who with his heart pining for Sita, travelled across the Sahyadri Hills and returned to Ayodhya after killing Ravana and sported with his consort, Sita, in Ayodhya for a long time.”

    In reverse

    सेवाध्येयो रामालाली गोप्याराधी मारामोरा ।
    यस्साभालंकारं तारं तं श्रीतं वन्देहं देवं ॥

    “I bow to Lord Shri Krishna, whose chest is the sporting resort of Shri Lakshmi;who is fit to be contemplated through penance and sacrifice, who fondles Rukmani and his other consorts and who is worshipped by the gopis, and who is decked with jewels radiating splendour.

  • Protection From Danger Apad Udharaka Hanumath Stotram Vibishana

    Protection From Danger Apad Udharaka Hanumath Stotram Vibishana

    Life is balance between Risks and Our Faith.

    Sanatana Dharma has three classifications of the Happenings of the world and the individual.

    Adi Bautikam.

    Adyathmikam, and

    Adi Daivikam.

    Adi Bautikam relates to the events happening because the Five Elements of Nature, Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Ether.

    One has no real protection from these when they unleash themselves

    Ask any one who has watched the film Gravity.

    If he/ she does not admit to being scared to the level of Panic looking at the vast expanse of Space and for a moment not imagined themselves in the predicament of being lost in Space.

    Efforts and our achievements the  in Science vanish in front of them.

    Recall The Tsunami that struck South India in the recent past

     

    Adyatmikam related the reaction for actions we have performed, one can not escape the recoil.

    Adi Daivikam is at the Pleasure of God, in commensurate with our actions.

    Despite knowing that we are powerless and puny, we arrogate ourselves with Knowledge and Powere.

    Even such men at times of crisis, turn to God.

    I read in a Thriller by Fredrick Forsyth, The Icon, a seemingly atheist general says,

    Show me one man who does not believe in the Power of something beyond him, when one sees Cannon Shells blowing up within inches of him, him remaining unhurt, while those near him were killed.

    The only recourse is to seek the help of God at times of Crisis.

    Hanuman is the Master of encountering Crises.

    He would ensure that you remain free of fear.

    On a daily basis one may recite,

    Buddhir Balam Yaso Dhairyam Nirbhayathvama Arogatha,

    Ajaatyam Vaakpatuthvancham,

    Hanumath Smaranaath Bahaveteth.

    This will release you from fears of any kind.

    There is yet another stotra by Vibishana, for overcoming Danger.

    It is

    Apad Udharaka Hanumath Stotram

     

    Translation by Sri.P.R.Ramchander

    Apad akhila lokarthi harine, hanumathe,
Akasmad aagathothpada nasaya, namosthuthe., 1

    Hey Hanuman, who removes dangers of all the world,
    And who destroys all accidental dangers, my salutations.

    Sita viyuktha Sri Rama soka dukjha bhayapaha,
Thapa thrithya samharin anjaneya, namosthuthe., 2

    Hey Hanuman who removed sorrow, pain and fear,
    From Lord Rama who has parted with his wife Sita,
    And who destroys the three types of pains,

Saranagatha marthyaanaam, saranyaya namosthuthe., 4

    My salutations to him who gives protection,
    To the men who seek protection from him,
    With a confused my mind created by,
    The sea of this miserable life.

    My salutations are due to son of the God of wind,
    Who is the protector, who offers protection to those,
    Trying to enter the gate of the palace or in the opening of a cave,
    And who is amidst collection of ghosts, in the deep forest,
    In the company of elephants, lion, tiger and thieves,
    My salutations to the soul of the army of monkeys.

    Rameshtam karunapoornam Hanumantham bhayapaham,
Sathru nasa haram bheemam Sarvabheeshta phala pradham., 7

    My salutations to the darling of Rama who is full of mercy,
    Who is the fearful Hanuman,, who destroys his enemies,
    Who is gross and who fulfills all our wishes.
