SrI :
Dear Sriman Narender Reddy :
Thanks very much for your queries and pointers
.
Recently , Srimathy Saranthan and Sri M.G.Vasudevan
posted a series of
well researched articles on Srimad RaamAyaNam
and the age of Raamaa ,
when he went to the forest and when he married .
One could see
the complexities in that effort .
It is not easy to date the VedAs and IthihAsAs
.
There has been a lot of efforts from both the
traditional point of
view and by others . None of them are converging .
Your viewe fits with the traditional approach
.I am with you on it .
Those who have done There is a view that humans
have been
on this earth for only 25,000 years . That date
keeps being pushed
back .
Anway , for the sake of respect for the traditional
view , please disregard
the dates for the VedAs and IthihAsams, Upanishads
in this posting .
Rest from MahA Veer and BuddhA's time
onwards are fine .
Thanks for your understnading ,
V.Sadagopan

of Sri VaishNavam : Part IV Jai Sriman Narayana!
Pranams!
Do you really believe that Ramayana took place 1200 BC and not in
Thretha Yuga (more than 8.5 million years ago) as mentioned in Srimath
Bhagavatham? Do you also believe that the Maha Bharatha war took place in 900 BC
and not in 3133 BCE? If you believe that the war took place in 900 BC then
is it only 2973 years since the beginning of kaliyuga. The traditional belief is
that current year is 5106 th year of Kaliyuga and kaliyuga started 32
years after the war. If your date of 900 BC is accepted, that means
we have to reject the current Panchangam which sates that this year is 5106
of Kaliyuga and it is 1.95 billion years on the earth since the morning in
Bramha Loka.
Thank you.
Sincerely
Narender Reddy
