My greetings to all of you on the day of Vijayadashami

While Vijayadashami is used to recall many heroic events of the glorious history of Hindu civilization, historically speaking there is no connection between Ashwin Shukla 10 (Vijayadashami) and Ramayana.

Ravana was killed on Chaitra Amavasya. (6 January 12208 BCE)

Rama arrived at the Ashrama of Sage Bharadwaj, from Lanka on Vaishakha Shukla Panchami (12 January 12208 BCE)

Rama met Bharata on Vaishakha Shukla 6 (nakshatra Pushya) , i.e. on 13 January 12208 BCE.

Many asked me to describe how I proved 12209 BCE as the year of Rama-Ravana Yuddha.

It is a long story. Here are a few initial steps.

1. Theory: All astronomy observations of Valmiki Ramayana are factual observations of Ramayana times

(3/n)

2. Extract all astronomy observations

They amounted to 575+

They include positions of the cardinal points with respect to nakshatra, North pole star of Ramayana times, planetary positions and conjunctions, descriptions of lunar months and correspondings seasons, eclipses.

3. classify the evidence (575+) into evidence due to the long term phenomenon of the precession of the Earth's axis and short term phenomenon due to near-earth motions.

(5/n)

The previous step of classifying evidence is the most critical. This is because if a mistake is made in this step, all is lost.

Metaphorically, this can be explained as follows:

(6/n)

Next step was to objectively test each piece of evidence, as appropriate, i.e

Sometimes individual pieces at a time and other times a group of evidence together!

(Sequence, association, gradation) is important.

(7/n)

For example, a single observation of Yuddha 4:48 decisively places lower and upper bounds of 10,000 BCE and 14,000 BCE for the timing of Ramayana.

(8/n)

However, this is never enough, what about the 575+ pieces of additional evidence!

Does it corroborate this time interval of 10,000 BCE through 14,000 BCE?

Well the only way to find it out to test all other observations of Valmiki Ramayana

For example Arandya 16:12

(9/n)

This process goes on until we are exhausted of all 575+ astronomy observations.

This is when we have to unify all our inferences. This is akin to solving a Jigsaw puzzles, a very complicated jigsaw puzzle.

(10/n)

Then it's time to do a comparison with other claims for the timing of Mahabharata.

For example.

(11/n)

Next, we move on to multidisciplinary evidence.
In the case of Ramayana, this includes geology, morphodynamics of rivers, agriculture, domestication, oceanography, climatology, paleontology, genetics and more.
For additional, details, read: 12209 BCE
