COMMON CHARACTERS OF RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA - CAPT AJIT VADAKAYIL

In the post MAYA , INCA , AZTEC CIVILIZATIONS DECODED – VADAKAYIL,  a reader, who wishes to be anonymous raised a query.  

He wants to know why I have put Mahabharata at 4000BC and Ramayana at 4300BC.

 Many others have raised this query-- and I have just told them, that I use my perception.

I guess I will have to put a separate post on PERCEPTION and RELATIVITY .

We humans are superior to animals , because we are conscious creatures.  This is why we can see our image in the mirror.

The river Saraswati which is mentioned several dozen times in Rig Veda dried up in 4000 BC, as determined by scientific tests, and satellite mapping. Rig Veda talks about river Ganges only once.

Read my post MOTHER OF ALL CIVILIZATIONS- VADAKAYIL. Krisha’s brother Balarama describes the drying up river , as he walks down the banks.

There are several characters who are common both to Ramayana and Mahabharata. Hanuman and Bhima as both Vayu’s children.   Hanuman belongs to Ramayana while Bhima and his wife Draupadi belongs to Mahabharata. An old Hanuman told Bhima ( searching for a flower for Draupadi ) who was vain about his great strength to lift his tail and Bhima could not.

In addition there are several other characters common to both epics, like Narada,  Durvasha Muni , Parashurama ( who can live as long as he wants ) etc.  Those days people lived for more than 180 years. The Maharishis with 12 strand DNA lived much longer.

The Yugas have been fudged by the translating West, who wanted to throw a cloud.

Vasishtha’s son Sakthi, had a son called Parasara and Parasara’s son was Veda Vyasa, who wrote the Mahabharata .  So this means Vasishtha was the great grandfather of Vyasa.  Brahmarshi Vasishtha lived from the time of Satyavrata Manu, to the time of Sri Rama.  Sri Rama was Vasistha’s student.

Lord Krishna was named by Garga, the son of Bharadwaja, who was quoted by Parasara in the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra.  Viswamitra the Guru of Lord Rama’s teacher was the grand –uncle of Parashurama. Viswamitra’s sister, Satyavati, was the grandmother of Parasurama.

So Viswamitra was the grand-uncle of Parasurama.  Young Viswamitra and Vasishtha had once fought with each other. .

Parasurama who fought with Kshatriya kings had spared the life of Dasaratha, the father of Lord Rama. . At Sri Rama’s wedding, Parasurama challenged him to hold the bow of Lord Vishnu—the  Chapam. . Parasurama killed Karthavirya Arjuna, who had  defeated Ravana.  

Maya Danava who build the Indraprasta palace hall for Yuddhistira was Ravana’s father in law. . Parasurama gave his axe to Drona. Drona was the Guru of Vyasa’s grandchildren, the Kauravas and the Pandavas.

Drona’s father was the Maharishi Bharadwaja, who was the pupil of Valmiki, who wrote Ramayana. .

Valmiki looked after Rama’s wife Sita and raised Rama’s children Lav and Khush.

Valmiki was a friend of King Dasaratha, the father of Lord Rama.

Bharadwaja’s daughter married  Visrava and her son was Kubera, the elder half-brother of Ravana. Drona’s father was Bharadwaja.

This means Maharishi Vyasa, Sri Rama and Maharishi Valmiki were of the same generation, which makes Lord Rama belong the grandfather generation of Sri Krishna.

Bhishma’s father Santanu, married Vyasa’s mother Satyavati after Vyasa was born.  Vyasa’s parents were Parasara and Satyavati, and Bhishma’s parents were Santanu and Ganga Devi.  This means Bhishma was a brother to Vyasa and of the same generation as Sri Rama.

Ravana’s grandfather Pulastya, told the story of the Big Bang to Bhishma at Gangadwar. (Padma Puranam). Since Sri Rama and Ravana fought each other in Ramayana , this means Bhishma of Mahabharata was of the same generation as Lord Rama.  

Pulastya belonged to the grandfather’s generation of Bhishma. 

Bhishma fought the older Parasurama, and after several days of fighting they called a truce . Jilted Amba jumped into the Homam fire— triggering off Sabarimala Pilgrimage in Kerala.

Maharishi Agastya  gave weapon to Lord Rama before he went to Lanka.  

Maharishi Atri ( of Sapta Rishi fame ) , the husband of  Anasuya, gave Sita ornaments . Maharishi Bhardwaja (grandfather of Ravana’s half brother and Valmiki’s disciple). )

Maharishi Bhrigu whose son was Richika and grandson was Jamadagni was Parasurama’s great grandfather.

Maharishi Durvasa was the son of Maharishi Atri and Anasuya, visited the Pandavas in exile.. Durvasha gave a mantra to Kunti, the mother of eldest 3 Pandavas for getting children..

Karna , whom Kunti put in a river , is thus Kunti's child with Surya.

Durvasha who had a bad temper, cursed Shakuntala, the daughter of Vishwamitra.

Jambavanta when young had fought in Lord Rama’s army. His daughter Jambavathi married Lord Krishna. Kohinoor diamond of British queen’s head, was Jambavanta’s diamond and he gave it to Lord Krishna.

Mainda and Dwivida, the Vanara heroes who in the army of Lord Rama , were killed by Lord Krishna’s brother Balarama when they attacked Dwaraka.  Lord  Krishna gave us the Bhagavad Gita which is the essence of all the Upanishads.

Upanishads are the concluding portion of the Vedas. This means Vedas were written before Upanishads.

Rig Veda talks about Saraswati river.  Balarama describes the drying river Saraswati as he walks along the banks. . The Katha Upanishad is just a conversation between Gauthama’s great grand son Nachiketas and Mrtyu (the god of death). Naachiketas was of Drona’s generation.  

The meaning of the word Upanishad is to sit nearby. In the Upanishads we get a glimpse into the workings of the minds of the great Indian thinkers who were unhampered by the tyranny of religious dogma, political authority, pressure of public opinion, seeking truth with single-minded devotion, rare in the history of thought.

Balarama, the brother of Lord Krishna, visited King Janaka, Rama’s wife Sita’s father. He trained Duryodhana in Gada Yuddha ( battle with the heavy mace club) at Mithila..

I can take this post to 50 pages-- it is NOT worth it.

(Srimad-Bhagavatam First Canto, Chapter 3, text 24)

Here's the account from the "Ramayana" of Sage Valmiki about the construction of Ram Sethu bridge 30 kilometers long :

"At Rama's command, those lions among the monkeys entered the mighty forest with alacrity in hundreds and thousands on every side and those leaders on the simian tribes, tearing up the rocks, which in size they resembled, and the trees also dragged them to the sea and they covered the ocean with Sala, Ashvararna, (list of tree names).Those foremost monkeys transported those trees, with or without roots, bearing them like so many standards of Indra (the king of heaven) and they heaped (list of tree names) here and there. With the aid of mechanical devices, those powerful colossi dug up stones as big as elephants and rocks, and the water suddenly spouted into the air only to fall instantly. Thereafter those monkeys churned up the sea by rushing into it on all sides pulling on the chains.

"That immense causeway constructed by Nala in the bosom of the sea was built by the arms of those monkeys of formidable exploits and it extended over a hundred leagues.

"Some brought trunks of trees and others set them up; it was by hundreds and thousands that those monkeys, like unto giants, made use of reeds, logs and blossoming trees to construct that bridge, rushing hither and thither with blocks of stone resembling mountains or the peaks of crags, which, flung into the sea, fell with a resounding crash.

"The first day those monkeys resembling elephants, or immense energy, full of high spirits and exceedingly merry, erected fourteen leagues of masonry. The second day, those highly active monkeys of formidable stature set up twenty leagues. Bestirring themselves, those giants threw twenty-one leagues of structure over the ocean on the third day and on the fourth, working feverishly, they built up twenty-two leagues in extent. The fifth day, those monkeys, industrious workers, reached to twenty-three leagues distance from the further shore.

"That fortunate and valiant son of Vishvakarma (architect of the demigods), leader of the monkeys, constructed a causeway worthy of his sire over the ocean and that bridge erected by Nala over the sea, the haunt of whales, dazzling in its perfection and splendor, was like the constellation of Svati in space.

"Then the gods, Gandharvas, Siddhas (living beings superior to humans) and supreme Rishis (great sages) assembled in the sky, eager to see that masterpiece, and the gods and Gandharvas gazed on that causeway, so difficult of construction, that was ten leagues in width and a hundred in length built by Nala.

"Those monkeys thereafter dived, swam and shouted at the sight of that unimaginable marvel that was almost inconceivable and caused one to tremble! And all beings beheld that causeway thrown over the ocean and by hundreds and thousands of kotis (millions), those monkeys, full of valor, having built that bridge over the immense repository of waters, reached the opposite shore.

"Vast, well-constructed, magnificent with its wonderful paved floor, solidly cemented, that great causeway like unto a line traced on the waves, resembled the parting of a woman's hair.

A speed of the sun is given based on the Rig Veda of 5000 BC.. 

That speed is: 2,202 yojanas in half a nimesa. 

These are given in ancient indian units. Here is a conversion: 

A yojanas is 8000 Dhanus/bows and each bow is 6 feet  

A nimesa is 16/73 of a second, as deduced from the following in the Purans:  

15 nimesa = 1 Kastha

30 Kastha = 1 Kala

30 Kala = 1 Mahutra

30 Malhutra = 1 day and night

If we convert them to their equivalent modern units, where each yojanas is 9 miles and each nimesha is 16/73.3 seconds, substituting it into the speed of the sun by the Rig Veda gives the speed of the sun as 186,536 miles per second. The most accurate figure for the speed of light as of today is 186,282 miles per second.

This means the Rig Veda figure is 99% accurate to the modern figure. This kind of accuracy can only be achieved with laser technology and highly sophisticated measuring equipment. However, this just corroborates what we already know from the Vymanika Shastra, that they did indeed have laser technology.

But according to our Queen bee, we Indians are stupid-- mind you, only Hindus.. Converted Indian Christians are geniuses and she trusts them ..

Above Ambika Soni- a Christian favourite of Queen Bee , who sports a bindi to fool the masses.

So when a Italian waitress , ( her crypto-Hindu sychophants and her desh drohi coterie, who love her and her "not so bright " son more than their motherland ) -- says that Ram Sethu is a delusion of a morbid Hindu mind-- what can I say?  

She loves to kick 1 billion Hindus on their heads , and this makes Vatican very happy.

This is our past culture right? 

A poor Indian does NOT take to crime, because of his staunch beliefs, right? 

Non violent and vegetarian India has never attacked any other country till now-- and as a result our Muslim and Christian  invaders murdered 90 million Hindus.

What was the religion of Jesus Christ before Christianity? Or for the matter Mohammed before Islam?--did some one say PAGAN , religion? 

Hinduism is 7000 years older than Christianityand 7600 years older than Islam.

To be frank, I do NOT respond with great diligence to anonymous people.  I put my picture in every post --because I take responsibilty for every word. 

Note: The Institute for Scientific Research on Vedas (I-SERVE), planetarium software has ascertained the birth of Lord Rama as 10th January 5114 BC in Ayodhya. As per the Indian calendar the time of the birth is in-between 12 noon and 1pm, Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month.

Here is a 7000 year old vedic chant-- Grace and peace!
