Holy Ramayan

The Holy Ramayan is our oldest epic written almost 5000 years ago by the Sage Valmiki when Lord Ram ruled the global Indian empire called the RamRajya with its capital at Ayodhya.It was the greatest empire the world has ever seen and even today is considered as the epitome of ideal empire.The Holy Ramayan is not just a historical document but a catalogue of scientific achievements as well.All the scientific inventions in the last 100 years are essentially borrowed from the Holy Ramayan, from flying machines to robots.Yet the western scholars denounce the Holy Ramayan as mythology. The reason is very simple - they want Indians to be ignorant of the true essence of the Holy Ramayan while they keep stealing shamelessly from it. In the past few years the situation has become worse, as movies are being made that depict Lord Ram as the villain and king Ravan as the hero !!!!!!! The situation in modern India is very similar to what it was when the world was ruled by king Ravan and his Rakshashas or Reptilian Cannibals. In fact these Rakshasha bloodlines still survive in modern times among the ruling elite of the world and it is them who are hellbent on glorifying their patriarch king Ravan. They have turned the Holy Ramayan into an object of ridicule with questions like " which engineering college did Lord Ram attend before constructing the RamSetu" ?
I have started this blog series to give fitting replies to this puzzling questions that torment the faithful. I believe that the Holy Ramayan along with the Holy Mahabharat cantains the answers to all of India's problems.This blog series is meant to create nostalgia for our glorious past when India ruled the world by the grace of Lord Ram.It will be a long series with detailed analysis of each and every chapter of the Holy Ramayan.I have chosen to radically reinterpret the Holy Ramayan to safeguard the morals of the faithful against the evil false propaganda of the modern day Rakshashas. ( Yes, you read it right ).
BALA KANDA
The Holy Ramayan is divided into 7 sections or Kandas which are further divided into multiple chapters, each dealing with a specific event in Lord Ram's life.Ramayan literally means the journey of Lord Ram - both physical and spiritual. The first section is called Bala Kanda and it deals with Lord Ram's childhood. Chapter 1 of Bala Kanda introduces us with the Sage Valmiki, the composer of the Holy Ramayan. According to this chapter the Divine Sage Narad narrated the events of Lord Ram's life to Sage Valmiki and instructed him to compose the Holy Ramayan for educating the people of the world.
Chapter 2 describes the event that inspired the Sage Valmiki to compose the Holy Ramayan in verse form that can be recited and sung accompanied by the Veena. It so happened that once Sage Valmiki went to bathe in the river Tamasa close to river Ganga with his disciple Bharadwaj.He was in a very tranquil mood after performing the religious rites and a pair of amorous Krauncha birds ( Heron ) attracted his attention. Then suddenly an arrow shot by a hunter pierced the male bird and killed it. The female bird became melancholic in sorrow and seeing it the Sage spontaneously uttered a verse commemorating the agony of the lovebirds.The Sage's disciple Bharadwaj memorised the verse.
The Krauncha bird of India
The Krauncha incident has a deep esoteric significance as it can be used to predict future.During Vedic times the entrails of the bird was used to predict future by the Clairvoyant Sages. The Kundalini Shakti awakened Sages attained the ability to read and interpret auras emanating from living creatures.Certain animals and birds were chosen for such purposes and the Sages could understand the subtle changes that took place in the entrails of the bird in the event of an ominous incident.The source of this sudden change was rainwater drunk by the bird that deposited in their entrails and made changes to its colour. Normal rainwater does not contain any chemicals to make any changes to the bird's entrails but but a thunderstorm creates such chemicals in rain water and surface water. As per Vedic Astrology certain hours of the day were ominous as the demonic forces within nature created disturbances in the atmosphere and thunderstorms during those hours made subtle changes to the chemical composition of rainwater. The Clairvoyant Sages could determine the hour of the thunderstorms by seeing the bird's entrails and predict the future correctly. Now you know why thunderstorms are mentioned before every ominous incident in the Holy Ramayan.Modern science has only recently come to terms with the fact that thunderbolt changes the chemical composition of water and negative energy does exist in the atmosphere. All the modern scientific research are obviously based on stolen knowledge from our Holy books. ( Yes, you read it right ).
The Krauncha incident also has allegorical significance as it represents the agony of Lady Sita during her captivity in Lanka when she was forcefully separated from Lord Ram.Sage Valmiki understood the significance and spontaneously composed the verse.The Sage returned to his hermitage and while meditating fell into a trance or Turiya state of mind and had a vision of Lord Brahma.Lord Brahma appreciated the verse composed by the Sage and asked him to compose the Holy Ramayan in similar verse.
Chapter 3 gives a summary of the Holy Ramayan and chapter 4 gives the account of Sage Valmiki teaching the 24000 verses of the Holy Ramayan to Lord Ram's children Luv and Kush,who were studying in the Sage's hermitage at that time.He also taught them to sing the verses accompanied by Veena. The brothers were gifted musicians and singers and they mesmerised the assembly of the Sages with their performance. Incidentally Lord Ram was passing by the hermitage and seeing them perform He invited them to his palace to perform before the royalty. The brothers captured the hearts of Lord Ram and the royalty with their performance.
Chapter 5 gives a detailed description of the city of Ayodhya built by Lord Ram's father king Dasharath. The first few lines are striking as it says that the world consists of 7 continents. In modern times people didn't know about the existence of the 7th continent Antarctica until about 200 years ago. So we see that the Vedic people of India were far more advanced than the western people of modern times. Antarctica by the way was inhabited by people at that time as we shall see in the course of this long blog series. The Holy Ramayan is a treasure trove of ancient knowledge as I'm going to discuss now.
Chapter 5 clearly mentions that the entire world was under one rule since the time of king Manu of the Great Flood fame.His descendents formed the various dynasties of the world. One such dynasty was the Ikshvaku dynasty.King Dasharath was born in the Ikshvaku dynasty which also produced illustrious kings like king Sagar.King Dasharath was the ruler of the Koshal kingdom situated on the banks of the Sarayu river. The capital city Ayodhya has been compared with the city of the Gods,Amaravati. Ayodhya was full of bards and minstrels and Sages living the Vedic way of life with Yoga and Yaga being part of everyday life. The practice of Yoga and Yaga made the city properous and its people happy.The city was built as per the Vastu Shastra with wide avenues, beautiful gardens and mango groves. The city is described as a beautiful woman wearing girdle of greenary.The city had massive walls and gates surrounded by an impenetrable moat.It was also a city of commerce and had large palaces with arches and domes and pyramidal roofs.The Arch,the Dome and the Pyramid were all invented by the Vedic Sages contrary to what western scholars hypothesise.The art of building pyramidal and cylindrical roofs in the manner of the Vimanas of the Gods was prevalent even at that time. This is again contrary to the western hypothesis that the Vimanas were the products of imagination of the primitive people of India.The city was guarded by mighty archers who knew the Vedic art of ShabdaBhedi or Shooting an arrow following the sound made by the target far from eyesight.

Chapter 6 talks about the daily life of the citizens of Ayodhya. It says that everyone practiced the Vedic rites and peace and prosperity prevailed in their lives. The inhabitants came from the Himalayas as well as the Vindhya mountains.An important point to note here is that the city had horses from the Kamboja, Vanaya, Nudi and Bahlika kingdoms, all of which correspond to modern day Central Asia.It simply means that these areas were very much a part of ancient India as I have explained in detail in my previous blogs on Atiratra Yaga and Soma. The western hypothesis that ancient Indians didn't have horses and chariots is a false propaganda as the Holy Ramayan clearly mentions the use of horse drawn chariots.Ayodhya also had mighty war elephants from the Himalayas and the Vindhya mountains.The city was named Ayodhya or 'the city none can overpower in battle' because of the mighty defence system comprising of war elephants, horse drawn chariots,cavalry and ShabdaBhedi archers.
Chapter 7 deals with the administration of Ayodhya and the minsters who ran it with honesty. Sage Vashishta is introduced for the first time as an adviser to the king.
Chapter 8 deals with the king's resolve to perform the Ashwamedha Yaga for procuring an heir to the throne as he was childless. He summoned his ministers and invited the renowned Sages of the time to perform the Yaga on the banks of the Sarayu river. I must discuss the meaning of the Ashwamedha Yaga before proceeding further. The Ashwamedha Yaga is one of the most misunderstood and misinterpreted rituals mentioned in the Holy RigVeda.The western scholars who translated the Vedic literature depicted a grim picture of our culture out of ignorance and prejudice.They translated the word Ashwamedha as horse meat and said that the Yaga was performed with horse meat !!!!!!!
First of all, horses were never killed for their meat in our culture and offering animal meat in the Holy fire alter is highly sacrilegious. Ashwamedha Yaga means a ritual wherein a king is glorified by the merit brought by the holy horse.In the Ashwamedha Yaga a white horse was consecrated and set free to roam the neighbouring kingdoms for a year to gain votes of confidence from them.The royal banner was attached to the saddle of the holy horse and an army was dispatched to protect it. If a neighbouring king captured the holy horse,the accompanying army declared war and subjugated the hostile kingdom.The holy horse returned home after completing the designated schedule and was received as a meritorious horse bearing good omens.The holy horse was worshipped during the closing ceremony and kept as a royal pet in the palace gardens. This Vedic tradition still survives in modern India in the Srirangam Sriranganathaswamy Temple where a white horse is ritually paraded during the festivities.The royalty is gone and so nobody performs the Ashwamedha Yaga anymore but the tradition remains albeit in a humble form.

Chapter 9 talks about the prophecy made by the Sage Sanatkumara that a son would be born to king Dasharath.According to the prophecy, Sage Rishyashringa born in the line of Sage Kashyapa would perform the necessary rites for the king for obtaining a son.Sage Rishyashringa would be living in an isolated forest hermitage with his father,engaged in severe austerities that would give him special powers. The Sage would be invited to the court of the neighbouring kingdom of Anga for performing rituals for bringing rain in the draught affected kingdom. There the Sage would be married to the king's daughter and then travel to king Dasharath's court to perform the rites for obtaining a son.The prophesy was narrated to king Dasharath by his minister Sumantra.
In Chapter 10 king Dasharath asks Sumantra to narrate the events concerning Sage Rishyashringa in detail. Sage Rishyashringa was brought up singly by his father as a Brahmachari or celibate Yogi in a remote forest hermitage away from human habitation.These austerities were taken so that he could be free from worldly distractions and concentrate on learning. He became a Kundalini Shakti awakened Yogi and attained Shiddhis or miraculous powers at an early age. King Lomapada from the draught affected kingdom of Anga wanted to have his blessings and sent his royal dancers to entice him to his capital city. It was an easy task for the dancers as the Sage had never seen a woman and agreed to travel to the capital city just out of curiosity. The Sage saw the draught affected kingdom and invoked the rainclouds with his Siddhis.This is the first example of thought powered commands controlling the forces of nature. The Sage simply resonated the Pineal gland inside his brain with Sanskrit mantras and gave out an energy signal to the upper atmosphere and attracted the rainclouds to that particular location. The rainclouds which are basically balls of energy were fused by further commands from the Sage and thus it bagan to rain. The king was satisfied and he gave his daughter Shanta in marriage to the Sage.

In chapter 11 we see Sumantra further narrating the prophecy of Sage Sanatkumara to king Dasharath. King Dasharath travels to the court of king Lomapada and invites the Sage to come to Ayodhya.
In Chapter 12 we see that the Sage has arrived at Ayodhya and king Dasharath has made arrangements for the Ashwamedha Yaga.
In Chapter 13 we see the guests arriving at Ayodhya and Sage Rishyashringa commencing the Yaga as the chief priest.
Chapter 14 discusses the rituals performed after the return of the Ashwamedha horse and the closing ceremony. But sadly the western scholars who have translated this chapter into English does not know anything about the Vedic rituals and their significance. It is the worst possible translation of the Holy Ramayan meant to ridicule our culture. This chapter clearly describes the Atiratra Yaga and Soma Yaga which I have explained in detail in my previous blogs on the Atiratra Yaga and Soma.I have also explained the significance of the Ashwamedha Yaga earlier in this blog. The "horse meat " spoken of in chapter 14 is an allegory for metal ores that were poured on the eagle shaped Garuda alter for creating Amrita or an Alchemical metal alloy. In Soma Yaga the fire raged for 5 days continuously and the resultant heat transformed the ores into a metal alloy. A ceremonial sword was manufactured using this metal alloy and presented to the host king as a symbol of honour at the end of the Yaga. This is what exactly happened in chapter 14. The interpretation by the western scholars is highly blasphemous.
I urge the young people of India to guard themselves against all false propaganda by the western scholars.

Chapter 15 gives an account of the Putrakameshthi Yagya performed by Sage Rishyashringa so that king Dasharath can have four sons.The Yagya invoked the Gods for divine intervention and the Gods responded by approaching Lord Brahma. The Gods described the plight of the world on account of king Ravan who tormented the Gods and men alike with his demonic powers.Lord Brahma had earlier given Ravan the boon that the Gods,Gandharvas and Yakshas would not be able to kill him and this made him almost invincible.He misused his powers and tyrannized the whole world.So Lord Brahma came with the solution that only a man can kill him since Ravan didn't ask for invincibility against man in his arrogance.Lord Vishnu appeared before the Gods after Lord Brahma had made His resolve to destroy Ravan. The Gods approached Lord Vishnu to take a human Avatar to kill Ravan. The righteous king Dasharath was chosen as the prospective father for the Avatar to incarnate as man. Lord Vishnu promised to destroy king Ravan with his entire clan.

Chapter 16 gives a mysterious account of the fruit of the Putrakameshthi Yagya. I must discuss it in detail before proceeding further. The Yagya was meant to invoke the Gods for obtaining Magic Children and the only way to do it was to send a signal to the Gods.Three main factors came into play - the energy emitted by the fire alter,the sound energy of the Sanskrit mantras and the Scalar energy emitted by the Sage Rishyashringa. The geometrically shaped fire alter produced an energy beam as per the shape of the alter, the Sanskrit mantras produced a sound energy with encoded commands and the Sage resonated the Pineal gland in his head while uttering mantras generating a Scalar energy wave. These three energies combined together to form a super energy beam and at a particular moment of astrological significance reached the upper atmosphere and attracted the energy fields known as spirits.This energy field by the way is responsible for Reincarnation. ( Please refer to the Holy Bhagabat Geeta if you still have any doubts ). Lord Vishnu had sent a portion of His divine energy in this energy field and this energy came down to earth following the super energy beam sent by Sage Rishyashringa. The Sage harnessed the energy with further mantras or sound energy commands and passed it on to the Payasam cooked on the golden Cauldon over the fire alter.This sacred Payasam was prepared with holy cow milk and special aromatic rice obviously consecrated with mantras. This Magic Potion created by the Alchemical formula described in the Holy AtharvaVeda also acted as an aphrodisiac.King Dasharath actually saw the energy beam over the fire alter in a vision and then distributed the Magic Potion among his three queens - Kaushalya, Kaikeyi and Sumitra.Normal marital bliss followed and the three queens conceived in due time.
The western scholars often ridicule the faithful,pointing out the apparent improbability of conceiving by eating Payasam.I think today I have shut their mouths once and for all.
The millenia old famous Payasam
Chapter 17 gives an account of the Gods incarnating in the Vanara tribe to assist the Avatar of Lord Vishnu. The western scholars who have translated this chapter into English have messed it up as usual out of ignorance and prejudice.The Sanskrit word Vanara does not mean monkey - it means a forest tribe.Valuable research in this field has been done by the brilliant researcher Santanam Swaminathan. I must thank him before discussing the issue.
The famous Pashupati seal from the Vedic city of Mohenjodaro clearly shows Lord Shiva wearing a bull mask and helmet as per Vedic tradition
This photo clearly shows that certain tribal people continue to wear such masks and helmets to represent their tribe.Do you think that the tribal child is a bull ?
Lord Hanuman belonged to one such tribe and wore similar mask.
The Kundalini Shakti is the mystery behind Lord Hanuman's tail
I have already explained how Lord Vishnu sent His Avatar in this world and you must understand that the other Gods incarnated in the similar way.Now the question is how can Gods incarnate as monkeys and bears ? The answer is very simple - the Vanaras were a forest dwelling tribe of normal human beings. In the ancient world every kingdom or tribe chose an animal as their symbol and used its image on their flags, banners and sceptres. This tradition still survives in modern times in the Coat of Arms of various governments and royalty.In ancient India some kingdoms were known by their flag animals. This doesn't mean that the kingdom was comprising of only those animals. Ancient India had a kingdom called Matsya meaning fish corresponding to modern day Rajasthan. It is foolhardy to think that the kingdom was inhabited by fish only and not humans.It is likewise ridiculous to interpret Vanara as monkey. The Vanaras described in the Holy Ramayan were as human and as civilized as the rest of the Vedic society. One of them became a Kundalini Shakti awakened Yogi with miraculous powers - we call him Lord Hanuman today. His tail represents his raised Kundalini Shakti. His iconography portrays him as monkey faced superhuman denoting that the warriors in his tribe wore monkey masks during battle. The seals found in the Indus Valley cities clearly shows that ancient Indians wore animal masks for ritual and military purposes.
To be continued .......
In the end I just like to say that we need the Lord more than ever before. Five thousand years have passed since the end of the Kurukshetra war and our country has lost 80% of her territory and wealth. Only the Lord can make Bharat Varsha great again in the form of Kalki Avatar.
Come back O Lord and save us.
