Historical Rama : Readers Review

Historical Rama - Book Front page

I had an opportunity to read the book “Historical Rama” by Mr. D K Hari and D K Hema Hari. The book is published jointly by the Bharat Gyan & The Art of Living.

The book brings forth to the reader some very interesting facts on the existence of Lord Rama. The authors have a holistic and scientific approach in their research. The facts are corroborated with proofs from different fields namely

1.            Literature of different times in history by people from different background
2.        Archeological evidences
3.        Geographical evidences
4.        Archaeo-Astronomical events

I was astonished to see how using current world planetarium software, the exact dates of certain events about 7000 years ago could be gauged. And making it more surprising, these dates match closely with many events that were depicted in Ramayana.

The various geographical locations depicted in Ramayana and their existence in Today’s India like Ayodhya, Panchavati in Nasik, Kishkinda near Hampi, Rameshwaram and the Nala Setu arouses curiosity in the reader’s mind. The most special to me was the ingenious built of Nala Setu – the present day Adams Bridge connecting India and Sri Lanka. Built by the Engineer Nala of the Vanaras, it is indeed a wonder!

I liked how the author explains on the existence of Vanara’s i.e., the monkey clan belonging to Lord Hanumana. To an intellectual existence of monkey’s conversing with humans might seem ridiculous. The explanation by the author makes one rethink about the existence of Vanara’s.

In addition, the author in short gives a very good explanation of pre-British and post-British history of India. How historical facts of Aryan invasion were concocted by the British for their short term benefits which in turn caused long term damage to the Indian Civilization.

The book is written in a simple language where the prose is juxtaposed with facts and figures in the form of pictures. It is a good reading material for any intellectual who does not believe the existence of Rama as Human being on the Planet and for others it is more interesting to get a hang on Rama’s existence on the Planet Earth.
