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)+

"Was Ravana's Lanka present inside Bharat?"
The location of Lanka was not in doubt at all until recently.

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.

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.

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+ 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?+
