Mahārṣi Vālmīki was not only the first poet, he was also the first astronomer, &
due to his extraordinary astronomical observations, it is possible to pinpoint the exact dates he gave.

His study of planetary configurations has stood the test of time,

#Thread Image
& the latest computer software corroborates his calculations.

He gave Dasaratha’s (Śrī Rāma's father) zodiac sign as Pisces & his star as Revathi.

Śrī Rāma left for his exile at one of the conjunctions of these stars.

Modern calculations reveal that this configuration Image
took place Jan 5, 5089 BCE, at which time Rama was 25 years old, according to Valmiki.

He also mentioned a Solar eclipse that took place at the time of Rama’s fight with the asuras Khara & Dhushana.

He noted that it was amavasya, or the night of the new moon,
& Mars was flanked by Venus on one side and Mercury on the other.

When this data was inserted into the software, it came up with Oct 7, 5077 BCE.

By following other planetary configurations as mentioned by Valmiki, we can see that Ravana was killed on Dec 4, 5076 BCE. Image
Śrī Rāma completed his exile on Jan 2, 5075 in the bright phase of the moon (shukla paksha) in the month of Chaitra (April/May),
which was the month of his birth,
&
returned to Ayodhya at the age of thirty-nine.

There are 23 main places on the Indian subcontinent with Image
memorials commemorating events of Śrī Rāma's life as He passed through them.

All of Hindu India & many parts of Southeast Asia believe in the historicity of Śrī Rāma & Śrī Krishna, & most of the festivals in India revolve around events in the lives of these great avatāras. ImageImage
They are the Life force flowing through the Collective Consciousness of India & Knitting its diversity into a united country.

Conclusion :

We don't need the astronomical calculations to prove a point but then it goes on to emphatically establish that
nothing can ever come close to Sanātana Dhārma Spiritually & Scientifically.

On the face of 1000+ years & on-going Onslaught,
Spirituality is what has been Paramount, binds Us & ensured the continuity of Sanātana Dhārma.

Secularism Series : Part I

We Subscribe to a mistaken notion of Secularism in India.

Secularism arose in the modern West as a revolt against the closed theology of Christianity which had acquired a stranglehold on the State ;

#Thread Image
in India, unfortunately, "Secularism" has become the biggest protector of closed theologies promoted by Christianity & Islam.

Secularism in India today is the single most powerful shield for protecting the further progress of Islamic Imperialist in the truncated Hindu homeland.
Hindu society should see through this perverted Secularism, & reject it not only as a counterfeit coin but also as high treason to the Indian nation.
That is the only way to defeat the gangster game which goes on all around Hindu society, &
Which threatens to reduce it to a

“One who offers flowers at the feet of Parameśvara for a while ;
who is absorbed in meditation & samādhi for a while ; who does prostrations for a while ;
who speaks about, & listens to the stories of the Bhagavān for a while ;
who visits mandir’s &
glorifies the Bhagavān for a while ;
who thus spends all his waking hours in various forms of worship, & surrenders himself to the Bhagavān, is indeed Jīvanmukta.”

The Primary dilemma for most of the Western educated Hindu youth both in India & abroad is that they have little authentic information about their own Hindu Intellectual & Spiritual Heritage.

#Thread
They do not realise that there are really two distinct & conflicting Hinduisms today :
~ Traditionalist Hindu &
~ Neo-Hindu.
The traditionalists, who are the guardians of authentic Sanātana Dhārma, have not yet completely found a way of communicating this unadulterated Hindu
Dharma, which is the Sanātana Dhārma in a way in which the modern mind can appreciate it or to say more specifically ; the Hindu youth to defend or fight Intellectually against the Anti-Hindu rhetoric or Hindu bashing that has become order of the day.
Until they do so Hinduism

“That which is night to all creatures, there, the enlightened is awake”, throughout the night, waves of divine presence arose inside the cave, surpassing the flow of Bhagirathi outside.

Kaṭhopaniṣad : {प्रविभागः-ii}

श्रवणायापि बहुभिर्यो न लभ्यः शृण्वन्तोऽपि बहवो यं न विद्युः।
आश्चर्यो वक्ता कुशलोऽस्य लब्धाश्चर्यो ज्ञाता कुशलानुशिष्टः॥७॥

the science of self-realization from such a teacher is even rarer.
If, by great good fortune,
such an opportunity presents itself, students who can comprehend this topic are the rarest.”

Hence,
an Enlightened Teacher is never discouraged when, despite sincere efforts,
the majority of the people are either not interested in, or cannot understand the Science of the Ātman.

Kaṭhopaniṣad : {प्रविभागः-i}

कठोपनिषद् is one of the major Upaniṣads, expounds a great truth, very simply, as to what happens to the Ātman after मृत्यु~Death.

It is in the form of a dialogue between Yama~ यम: & Naciketā~नचिकेत, a Brāhmaṇa boy of just 9 summers.

#Thread
Its importance can very well be gauged from the fact that many of its mantras are reproduced in the Bhagavad-gītā.

Kaṭhopaniṣad is perhaps the clearest of all the 10 Classical Upaniṣads.
Upaniṣad means Brahmavidyā, that is, the Knowledge of Brahman.

Kaṭhopaniṣad explains Brahmavidyā most clearly, most vividly, &
repeats the Essentials without making the subject Complicated.

It goes on adding colour after colour in its description of the pure Ᾱtman,
