INDIAN GODS ARE NOT MYTH BUT TRUE :- (proof) PART-2 (b)
Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama
Right from Alexander to Akbarthe great, all the mighty ruler of this world wished to rule Indiathe richest nation of this planet. Till the sixteenth century, India contributed 33% of the world GDP. In the late seventeenth century, India got invaded by cruel British whose only aim was to loot India wealth. To stop the Indians from protesting against British rule, they decided to divide the unity of India by creating false history of India. They hired some south Indians authors and wrote various theories (like Aryan invasion theory) to justify their rule in India. It is very surprising, and at the same time, very sad that most of the Indians believe in the history written by our enemies (British authors) who had nil knowledge of Sanskrit, zero perception power, no respect for Ramayana and Mahabharata, and were only interested in ruling India by their divide and rule policy. Their strategic attack on Indian civilization paved the path of western materialistic culture in India. Science of Vedic India, ignored by British authors, is today admired by most of the scientists of this world. Today, more than Indians, westerner’s admired Indian culture and are fascinated in knowing the true history of ancient India. After the recent findings like that of saraswati civilization and ram setu, most of the ancient myths of Ramayana and Mahabharata are found to be glorious history of ancient India. Today, we will see one of such proof of Ramayana in sri lanka. This article is based on the interviews with sri lankan historians, museum authorities, local citizen, archeologists and anthropologists of sri lanka.
What Sri lankans think about Ramayana?
Sri Lankan Tourism is aggressively selling the Ramayan Events to attract thousands of visitors and pilgrims from over the world, especially from India. According to Kalaiselvan, director of Sri Lanka Tourism, “Sri Lankan historian, archeologists and religious scholars have found more than 40 places associated with sacred epic Ramayana. Despite of being a Buddhistmajority country, locals at this place regard these historical characters with great respect, have left these places untouched and are very proud of the association of their places with Indian epic Ramayana" said S Kalaiselvam, directorgeneral of Sri Lanka Tourism. He also added "Ramayan is an epic that binds India and sri lanka. We believe Ramayana has brought us together and it is our responsibility to restore and maintain these religious sites of great significance”.
Ravana king of the whole world lived in lanka
Since ravana was the king of sri lanka and 9 other kingdoms, he was known as ‘Dasa Shirsha’,
meaning 10 heads. The logic behind this title was that he had ten crowns on his head, one for each
kingdom. Sri lanka was the great nation of four clans Naga, Devas, Yaksha and Gandharva, who
worshipped sun god and were unified together as ‘Sivhala’ by king Ravana. Since Ravana was the
great devotee of lord shiva, he might have chosen the name Sivhala meaning “Devotees of lord
Shiva”. Over the time, Sivhala became Sinhala and lord shiva devotees became lord Buddha
devotees. In the eastern district of Trincomalee is the Koneswaram temple, gifted by Lord Shiva to
Ravana. This temple is unique where the lord has built a temple for his devotee as a reward of his
devotion In the same district of Trincomalee, at a place called Vilundri, lord rama stopped on his return journey
to pay respect to lord shiva so as to get rid of Brahmahasthi Dosham(more in later section). Since he
rested his bow on the ground here, this place is known as Vilundri. In Tamil, Vil means ‘Bow’ and
‘Undri’ means “to rest”. Ravana flag depicting the moon and sun is the oldest flag of Sri Lanka.
Ravana first built a temple for their beloved parents Visravasmuni and Kesini at Anuradhapura, first
capital of sri lanka. This temple is today called “Isurumuniya”.
sita taken from ‘Sita Kotuwa’ to ‘Ashok Vatika’
To enchant sita, ravana thought of showing the beauty of his kingdom. Sita was taken across the
Mahaveli ganga to ashok vatika, the most beautiful garden surrounded by salubrious mountains and
forests with soothing sound of air and streams. The path from sita kotuwa to ashok vatika is still visible
from these mountains. Present Hakgala Gardens is the part of ramayana Ashok vatika. An arid area
on top of Hakgala Jungle is called as sita pokuna, meaning ‘place Sita was held captive.’
Adjoining the path, there is a pond named ‘sita eliya’ that descends from the mountains. It is believed
that sita took bath in this pond. This pond, about 15 meters wide, is said to be formed by tears of sita.
On one side of the pond, there is a flat rock with an imprint of mighty foot on it. It is believed lord
hanuman landed on this rock in the form of a gaint.
Hanuman meets Sita at Ashok Vatika and is captured by R āvana
After meeting Sita at Ashok Vatika, hanuman uprooted some of the trees to quench his hunger.
Humiliated by hanuman actions, ravana ordered his soldiers to punish him by burning his tail but his
punishment turned out to be fugitive as he saw his entire city burnt down by hanuman. Present
Ussangoda was the part of city burnt down by hanuman. Astonishingly, the color of soil across
hundreds of acres of land is black, in total contrast to light brown fertile soil in the adjacent areas.
Sita is hidden after the visit of Hanuman
Seeing the strength and capabilities oh hanuman, ravana decided to move sita to some other secret
place. Râvanagoda, an area of complex caves and tunnel is the area where sita devi was kept hidden
in secrecy. Istreepura, meaning ‘area of women’ in Sinhalese, is another place full of ingenious
network of paths interconnected to all prime areas of Râvana capital city Lankapura. Istreepura refers
to lady servants chosen by ravana to look after Sita.
Places of battle in sri lanka
Ravana most powerful son meghnath, also known as indrajit was granted celestial supernatural power
by lord shiva at Gayathri Peedum. The place where lord rama shot an arrow to produce water from
ground for his army is known as Neelawari, a beautiful place located in the Jaffna peninsula. Dondra,
Hikkaduwa and Seenigama are the places south to lanka from where Sugriva battled against armies
of king ravana. In Wasgamuwa, there is a place named Yudhaganawa, meaning battlefield in
Sinhalese. This is the place where the war between lord rama and ravana broke out. To break the
fighting spirit of powerful hanuman, meghnath beheaded a replica of Sita Devi. It is believed that this
incident happened at a place called as Sita waka of Avissawella district. Also, there is a footmark of
lord rama at one of the stones in this area. Lord Karthikeya was sent by lord indra to help lord ram
against Râvana Brahmastra. This happened at Kataragama, a sacred place of worship among Sri
Lankans.
Hanuman the greatest devotee of all times, bring mountain on his hand
Upon being hit by the most powerful celestial weapon ‘Brahmastra’, lakhshman was unconscious and
dying in the battlefield. Hanuman was instructed to bring the herbs from Sanjeevani Mountains of the
Himalayas. As hanuman was not able to identify the herbs, he uprooted the whole mountain and
started travelling lifting the mountain on his bare hand. While travelling in sri lanka, parts of this
mountain fell in the areas of Katchchathivu, Dolukanda in Hiripitiya, Talladi in Mannar, Unawatuna in
Galle, Ritigala in Habarana. All this areas are rich in ayurvedic medicinal herbs and plants.
Unawatuna of Galle means ‘here it fell’. Indeed, the area is known for its medicinal plants. About 150
km north of Colombo, there is a mountain near Ruma Sulla, surrounded by ocean and sandy
beaches. At first look, everyone kinda gets a feeling that this mountain came from some another
place. This mountain is rich in ayurvedic herbs and medicinal herbs with soil unmatched with soil in all
areas of sri lanka
Epics of India.
As per recent scientific research now it is believed that Ramayana could be happened before 10000 to 12000 years and Mahabharata could be somewhere between 1100 to 800 BCE. Ramayana wrote by Maharshi Valmiki who had probably vast knowledge of astrology.
