The historical fiction of Ponniyin Selvan written by Kalki and made into a movie differs in several ways from the original history of the characters portrayed. The true history of that period is being brought out in a series.

Part 1: Introduction

In part 2, I've shown 2 revelations of importance to solve the mysteries of that period. Successor was appointed when the predecessor died. Madhurantaka was given kingship by Aditya when Sundara chola died.

Part 3:
What is the besic question to unravel the mysteries around PS events?
jayasreesaranathan.blogspot.com/2023/03/the-ba…
Date of Madhurantaka derived from Thiruvidaimarudur & Kumbakonam records and the date features of 2nd year of Rajaraja of Udayarkudi inscription throws a major question
+ Image
Why Madhurantaka was preferred over Arulmozhi varman?
Part 4 of #PonniyinSelvan.

Also the year of Rajaraja's accession is deciphered from the date features given in Udayarkudi inscription. It matched with CE 978. A year before that Aditya died.

Part 5 of #PonniyinSelvan

Was there a prior enmity with Vira Pandya that caused Aditya Karikala to avenge by taking off his head?
Seems so, going by Vira Pandya's title, "Cholan Thalai Konda"
And it made Madhurantaka enjoy the patronage of Chola family

Part 6 of PS brings out the original name of Aditya Karikala.
Also proved that he was very much a married man, had many wives.
He died only on his 13th year.
This evidence is cross checked with the solar eclipse date of 12th year of Vira Pandya.

Part 7 of #PonniyinSelvan

Alternating Rajakesari & Parakesari titles found missing with Aditya and Madhurantaka as both were Parakesari.

Who was the missing king inbetween them?

Why did Madhurantaka appear to covet the throne?

Part 8 of #PonniyinSelvan

* From Rajaraja's initial war activities (Kandalur Shalai) the identity of the assassins of Aditya deciphered.

*If Kalki is with us today and had known this history of the Cholas, how would he have reacted?

The Alumni Association of the Department of Vaishnavism of Madras University invites you all for my lecture on Exploring the Time-line of Ramayana. The talk is arranged at 6 PM on 27th April (Saturday) to enable overseas viewers to take part. The log-in details are given in the+ Image
invitation. I have planned to begin the talk with two reasons on why we need to find out the date of Ramayana. One was the much mis-understood Yuga concept that Rama was born in Treta Yuga, 8 lakh years ago and the other was the tithi-star mismatch of Rama-s birth day. +
Following this, I am planning to touch upon specific dates such as Rama's marriage date, exile date, abduction date and the long gap between Ravana's death and Rama's return to Bharadwaja Ashrama that needed detective approach to zero in on the dates. In addition, +

Tamil New Year starts when the sun enters the star Ashvini in Mesha rasi. Looking back, it was on a similar day 5,125 years ago, Krishna left his mortal coils. Yes, the New Year day followed by the Tamil people marks the time of Krishna, the Supreme God leaving his physical form+
That moment was marked by sages as the beginning of a new era called Kali Maha Yuga. Such a moment was not a celebration time but a solemn occasion to offer tarpan and do charitable acts. This is reiterated from the records of The Madras Journal of Literature and Science (Vol I)+ Image
published by Madras Literary Society and Auxiliary of the Royal Asiatic Society in the year 1833-34. The festivals observed by the people of Madras as on that year was recorded by one Venkat Row who worked as the Interpreter to the Officer of Vellore. +archive.org/details/madras…

"Was Ravana's Lanka present inside Bharat?"
The location of Lanka was not in doubt at all until recently. It was common knowledge that Ravana's Lanka was in Sri Lanka on the other side of the sea which can be reached by the Setu bund that starts from Dhanushkodi. Even Al Biruni +
the Persian scholar recorded 1000 years ago that the Setu bund linking Sri Lanka was built by the Vanaras of Rama’s army to reach Lanka. This view changed after the arrival of the British who refused to believe that the Ramayana depicts the true events in the life of Rama and +
rejected it as a mythical story. Following their footsteps, our countrymen also started exploring but ended up confusing the common man on the reality of Ramayana. In the name of 'research' they refused to accept that Ravana lived in today's Sri Lanka.  There are others who are+

The 16th part addresses the question "Did Rama live in Treta Yuga lakhs of years ago?"
At present we are in 5125th year of Kali Maha Yuga. Before Kali Yuga started in 3101 BCE, Dwapara yuga went on for 8,64,000 years. Treta Yuga was running before that. According to many people+
Rama lived in Treta Maha Yuga which occurred 8,69,125 years ago. They must understand that if this is true, we cannot find traces of Rama’s life nor claim a place as his Janmasthan as the entire geography would have changed over time. Insistence on such an old time for Rama will+
at best be rejected as a myth or an imagined story, whereas Ramayana was an Itihasa, a true event. When we check the Puranas, two types of Yuga-s are mentioned - one, identified by the conjunction of planets and used to measure the age of Creator Brahma and the other, identified+

How many people know that today is Srirama Navami day? Exalted Sun in Mesha+ waxing Navami. This is birth time combination of Sri Rama celebrated in Srirangam. Only Punarvasu, Rama's birth star is missing. These 3 never occur together making people think Rama's birth is mythical+ Image
Since waxing Navami + Punarvasu occur together in Meena rashi, Srirama Navami is observed in Phalguna month. But the important determinant of Time, namely the Sun will be in Meena, not in Mesha as was the case when Rama was born. Why Rama's birth combination can't reappear now?+
The reason lies in the fact that 2 odd events occurred before the Mahabharata war.
1. Waning Shashti suddenly became saptami. This caused Amavasya to advance to the day when Trayodashi must have been running.
2. For 2 consecutive months, moon caused Paurnami in Krittika star+
