Ram Navami (RamNomi) - April 12th 2011
India (CHAKRA) – Ram Navami (RamNomi) is the birthday of Lord Ram. This year (2011) Ram Navami will be celebrated on April 12th. It is the 9th day of the Hindu calender and coincides with the last day of Navaratras.
The day begins with the prayers dedictated to Sun. It is celebrated with the procession of Ram Nomi, in which people are dressed as Lord Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman whereas others follow them dressed like Ram’s soldiers. Lord Ram is seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu and is known as the God of peace and prosperity.
Many known figures in India are giving their greetings on RamNavami. Amitabh Bachchan aka Big B blogged his greeting: “Ram Navmi ke paavan avsar pe aap sab ko hardik shubhkamanayein .. sneh, shraddha, samriddhi aur mangalmay jeevan ..!”
.
Lord Ram was born to the King Dasharatha and Queen Kausalya of Ayodhya. Sri Ram Navami also marks the beginning of summer because the sun starts moving nearer to the northern Hemisphere. Ram is also known as Raghupati, Raghunatha and the prefix ‘Raghu’ refers to Sun.
We have an entire Ramayana to use and a lot of lessons to learn. Please, give more to the people!

Sir / Madam
Birth date of Rama is mentioned as 5114 BC, but as per Ramayana, Sri Rama lived in Treta yuga. Working backwards, Treta Yuga is of 12,96,000 years. Hence falls between 21,63,000 BC and 8,67,000 BC. According to NASA, the age of Rama Sethu is 1,750,000 years old and falls in Treta Yuga.
I would like to bring to your notice that almost all software packages limit the year to four digits, as there is no necessity for the year to exceed four digits. When the allotted space is 4 digits, the computer processor would truncate the bigger figure to 4 digits eliminating the digits from left side. For example, if the date is 17,55,114 BC, it will cut off the first 3 digits 175 and will display only 5114 BC. (This is in some ways similar to the Y2K problem in 1999AD, which required changing digits from 2 to 4 for year.) This may be verified with the USA software company Fogware Publishing about “Planetarium Gold.”
I have faced such a problem in 1990 when we were processing the civilian officers pay bills. The pay of a particular officer was Rs.11,320. As the number exceeded 9999, the computer eliminated the 1 on the left and printed his pay as Rs. 1,320. We made the correction by manually adding 1 on the left side.
The Gregorian calendar (Christian Calendar) that we are using presently went through a lot of changes (from Lunar to Solar) and corrections and only in 1582 AD, Pope Gregory XII finalized the present calendar after missing and shifting two months. The Calendar was named after him. The loss of two months can be clearly seen from the names of the months, as September (Septa =7) is 9th month, October (Octa = 8) is10th month, November (Nov = 9) is 11th month, December (Deca =10) is 12th month in the present calendar.
Most of the astrology software packages follow Zodiac signs for months, prior to 1581AD Gregorian calendar. For Aries (Mar 22 to April 20) as Month 1, Taurus (April 21 to May 21)as 2, Gemini (May 22 to June 21) as 3, Cancer (June 22 to July 23) as 4, Leo (July 24 to Aug 23) as 5, Virgo (Aug 24 to Sept 23) as 6, Libra (Sept 24 to Oct 23) as 7, Scorpio (Oct 24 to Nov 22) as 8, Sagittarius (Nov 23 to Dec 22) as 9, Capricorn (Dec 23 to Jan 20) as 10, Aquarius (Jan 21 to Feb 19) as 11, Pisces (Feb 20 to Mar 21) as Month 12.
It is mentioned that the date of birth of Sri Rama as 10th January. It was mentioned that the Sun is in Aries (March 22 to April 20). If this is taken into consideration the date will be 1st April 17, 55,114 BC.
Sri Rama Navami comes in the month of Chaitra of Lunar calendar, which normally falls in March or April of present Christian calendar. The date of Sri Ram Navami in the last few years is as follows. 9th April in 1995, 28th March in 1996,16th April in1997, 16th April in1997, 5th April in 1998, 25th March in1999, 12th April in 2000, 2nd April in 2001, 21st April in 2002, 11th April in 2003, 30th March in 2004, 18th April in 2005, 7th April in 2006, 27th March in 2007. 14th April in 2008 (starting of Solar Calendar and Tamil New year), 3rd April in 2009. It can be observed that Sri Rama Navami was between 25th March and 21st April for the last 15 years. Hence January may not be correct.
Based on this, the modified dates are as follows.
Sri Rama Birth Date = 1 April 17,55,114BC,
Vanavasam starting = 27 March 17,55,089BC,
War with Khar Dushan = 30 Oct 17,55,077BC,
Hanuman return from Lanka = 6 Dec 17,55,076BC,
Ravanas death = 23 Feb 17,55,075BC,
Sri Rama return to Ayodhya = 24 March 17,55,075BC.
I request that, if you hold the software, try reverse feeding by giving the date in your book, it should give the correct planetary position. Please try by feeding the date 17,55,114 BC and check the planetary position. This may be possible for you to verify if your software permits you to enter a 7 digit figure for year. I feel that 5114 and 17 in the left hand side may be correct and I doubt the figure 5 in between. You may try 1 to 9 and check the results.

Birth date of Rama in 5114 BC is wrong. Sri Rama lived in Treta Yuga (between 21,00,000 BC and 9,00,000 BC). Acc. to NASA, the age of Rama Setu is 17,50,000 years & falls in Treta Yuga. It is mentioned that the d.o.b. as 10th Jan.. It was mentioned that the Sun is in viz. Aries (Mar 15 to Apr 13). If this is taken consideration the date will be 1st April 17,55,114 BC.
Based on this, the modified dates are as follows:
Sri Rama d.o.b.= 1 Apr, 17,55,114 BC,
Sri Rama return to Ayodhya= 24 Mar, 17,55,075 BC.
