Why is #Ramayan considered mythology by our own people when we have Ram Setu which is man made. 1.

As per the Institute for Scientific Research on Vedas (I-SERVE), planetarium software has ascertained the birth of Lord Rama as 10th January 5114 BC in Ayodhya.
Which matches time given in Valmiki Ramayana.

our comprehension, as myths is the biggest disservice that we do to our own history.

Not just Ram Setu but we have real underwater #Dwarka as described in #Mahabharata
So #Krishna is historical hero not some mythological.
Sad that Hindus too don't refrain from using word mythology.

महल में रहने से इंकार कर दिया तब रावण ने सीता माता को एक गुफा के अंदर रखा जिसका सिर कोबरा सांप की तरह फैला हुआ था। इस गुफा के आसपार हल्‍की सी नक्‍काशी झलकती है।

#Ramayana

देवी सीता के पैरों के निशान यहां मौजूद हैं, लेकिन उन पर किसी का पैर ना पड़े या कोई नुकसान ना पहुंच जाए इसलिए उस जगह परमंदिर बनवा दिया गया है #Ramayana

रावण का महल
पुरातत्व विभाग को श्रीलंका में एक ऐसा महल मिला है जिसे देख कर लगता है कि वह रामायण काल में बनाया गया होगा।
#Ramayan

रामायण इस बात का वर्णन है कि भगवान हनुमान ने रावण की लंका को जला दिया था। इस वजह इस जगह की मिट्टी काली हो गई थी और यह मिट्टी आज भी काली है।यहीं से थोड़ी दूर पर रावण एल्ला नाम से एक झरना है, जो 82 फीट की ऊंचाई से गिरता है।
#Ramayan

रावण ने सुंबा और बाली द्वीप को जीतकर अपने शासन का विस्तार करते हुए अंगद्वीप, मलयद्वीप, वराहद्वीप, शंखद्वीप, कुशद्वीप, यवद्वीप और आंध्रालय पर विजय प्राप्त की थी। लंका पर कुबेर का राज्य था। लंका को जीतकर रावण ने उसको अपना नया निवास स्‍थान बनाया। #Ramayan

श्रीलंका की रामायण रिसर्च कमेटी की जानकारी के अनुसार श्रीलंका में एक स्‍थान जिसे रामायण काल से जोड़ कर देखा जाता है। अनुसंधान में यहां पर भगवान हनुमान का श्रीलंका में प्रवेश के लिए उत्तर दिशा में मौजूद नागदीप पर पैरों के निशान भी मिलते हैं। #Ramayan

इस स्थान की छानबीन में यह भी पाया गया कि राम व रावण के बीच यहीं पर भीषण युद्घ हुआ था। श्रीलंका में आज भी इस युद्घ-स्थान को युद्घगनावा नाम से जाना जाता है जहां पर रावण का भगवान राम ने वध किया था।

#Buddhist #Ramayana

The #Buddhist version of #Ramayana is known as #Dasarata #Jataka.
A major difference in Buddhist version of Ramayana is that Rama, Sita and Lakshaman were sent by Dasaratha to live in the forest to protect them from his ambitious third wife Kalyani.

#Buddhist version of the #Ramayana has no mention of #Sita's abduction.

In #Jain version, #Rama is a follower of non-violence. So, it is #Lakshmana who kills #Ravana and both of them go to hell.

#Rama, in the end, renounces his kingdom and becomes a Jain monk and eventually attains moksha. He also predicts that both #Lakshmana and #Ravana will be re-born as upright persons and attain salvation.
