I heard your many VDOs on Ramayan and Mahabharat. You have made deep study of walmiki Ramayan and Vyas, s Mahabharat the great history of our Indian civilisation. In this regards your study on Surya sindhanta and references of Rigved and upnishads are good one to put up evidences. I am very thankful to you and also want to see you.

Nileshji love your passion, conviction - borne out solid methodological research in pursuit of truth, sullied due to our own mistakes and of our invaders / colonialists. I have an interesting observation. Ram Sethu connects Indian Subcontinent to present Lanka through land bridge accurately described in Ramayana. But Ravan's Capital Lanka was actually in South West Direction ( at least 350 NM mile from Ram Sethu and separated by large open tract of Water - even during Lower Dryas period) - That area today is an area of shallower Indian Ocean (50-100m depth) South of Maldives. Undoubtedly during the period of Lower Dryas (approx Ramayana Time) it was a Large Island and part of Large chain of Island - today we remember it as LakshaDweep (Lakh Islands - present day around 900 including Maldive Chain) - Also known to Ancient Tamils as Kumara Khandam. I have studied the Bathymetric Charts and there is a 50 - 60 Nautical Mile gap of deeper ocean (100 - 500 M depth) - from East Chain to West Chain (where Ravan's Capital was present as per Sugreeva). The closest and easiest approach to Ravana's Capital city would have been from present Kerala South West Coast during NE Monsoon. Ravana would have been ready for attack from that direction. So Ram Sethu was probably built to attack Lanka from the unguarded rear (East or SE direction) - final crossing only possibly on boats. Interestingly the Cholas (after 14,000 years) used eerily similar tactics attacking Sri Vijaya from unguarded South while creating a small diversion from North . Southern Flotilla had left 5 moths earlier under secrecy and the timing of diversion and actual attack had to be coordinated. Mighty and stronger Sri Vijaya were defeated and became vassals of Chola for two centuries. Wonder if the same tactics were used by Lord Rama's commanders. Checking if there are any more clues available on this. Will share if I find.

Namaste Nilesh Guru ji, slides with Chaitra Amavasya and Vaishakha Shukla was great. Helps remember. Helps to ponder over. After Reading Ramayana, just panchami and shasti remains in memory since it is mention 2 or 3 times there. This helps pondering on the month as well.

[@maxm.s2654]

Great detailed knowledge and research.

[@hemant-sathe]

Just reading the texts while listening to you, I just noticed that the bridge was 10 yojana wide and 100 yojana long. Same distance that Hanuman flew. The constriction speed was 10 yojana per day average. This is like adding a square of 10 yojana x 10 yojana evey day. Such a fantastic speed. I wonder what material they used as a civil engineer. I keep looking at the map of India on Google maps and I see the islands that lead to maldives & furtherr down to british islands in Indian ocean are nearly in line and there is another line that goes parallel to that but below the sea level. Looking forward to see if someone with motivation to do research in this area connects the missing dots to Ravana's lanka and stop this marketing lie of Sinhala Dweep being called Sri Lanka.

[@NileshOak]

Have you listened to my talk on Ravana's Lanka at Sangam Talks?

[@hemant-sathe]

@@NileshOak I think I have but will listen again.

[@chitraariram1653]

Hello Sir, I am new listener to your channel and amazed and proud of your work. And disappointed at the same time that how most of us know our ancient past so badly. Trying to understand other aspects as stars, time, equinox etc. as well through your videos. Sir, dashahra and diwali are just blunder came to know which have been taught so wrong even today. Your work is great Sir!

[@rajababu42010]

Yes we must spread the truth how much bitter it is

[@ManOfSteel1]

90% of actors in bollywood read their script in english they can't even read hindi in devnagri lipi let alone the facts and history. thse people are actors and writers are mere fantasy writers writing 2-3hr long movie script nothing else. valmiki was a real person who lived during that era and ved Vyas during mahabahrat ero these are genuine people who wrote the history not accumulated it into a novel.

[@rvd597]

I am watching this video again after watching the movie.. I would insist you to watch this movie and see the kind of lies spread in the movie as if no one will come to know.. The movie blatantly lies that Valmiki Ramayan mentions Rama Setu

[@swamijoshi9294]

Please sir make short videos and if possible in Marathi also 🙏🏻

[@REDEMUSIC]

Hello Nilesh Ji, I have a question for you The modern day carbon dating of Dwarka dates back to somewhere around 7000BC and some even say it's much older than that. Considering Lord Krishna was born at that time or bit later How is it possible that Mahabharata could be somewhere around 3000BC ? I am trying to understand the exact timelines of the events based on the carbon dating done on Dwarka As far as I understand, Lord Krishna was around 126 - 147 years old when he left earth, Please correct me if I am wrong. If you had already answered this question in one of your videos, can you please share the video ? Thanks 🙏🏼

[@nishantg0404]

So you want to say Ramsetu which we know today is not actually Ramsetu??

[@vdogma123]

Yes, I saw the movie and they do refer to ramayana being in 7000 years ago. They do so on the carbon dating evidence from a floating stone. Would love to suggest if you could see the movie n like point out other inaccuracies too. This should help those who see the movie and come out misled.

[@NileshOak]

Those who made the movie know the fakery of it too. But then I am sure they want to mint money based on emotions - blind or otherwise. At some point, I may (and only may) watch it.

[@open2unlearn]

When did Valmiki write the Ramayan?

[@NileshOak]

Around 12196 BCE.

[@mindreader9874]

Sir my questions 1) On Wikipedia the candelabra of Andes is shown as 200 bc . Is that an error or truth ? 2) on Quora some verses from Ramayan , mahabharat even Puranas are quoted which criticized Buddha . So it is said that as they criticized Buddha , that means they (author) know about Buddha ,hence These texts Ramayan mahabharat and puranas are written after Buddha s time . 3) sir any river with even 1or 2 km width can have super floods , and can cause huge destruction and considered huge compared to human size . So how do you interpret that the Saraswati river talked about in rig veda is not during Ramayana or mahabharat time but much earlier than that ? 4) Sir one site found in Balochistan dates to 7000bc which is same time period as that of mahabharat mentioned by you but archaeologist say that the Harappan people didn't have a worship place ,no traces of hinduism found there, considering some sites like mohen jo daro is only 4500 years old .

[@signboard3340]

Mind reader your comment is showing how hutiya you are coating lies here don't you know that on this channel the subscribers are also researcher and you are trying to selling the lie and false narrative. 😂

[@NileshOak]

Thank you. 1. Candlebra of Andes - older than 12209 BCE (based on Valmiki Ramayana description) 2. My next episode on Shraddha and Prajna is based on Valmiki Ramayana and Buddha, based on someone else's question. So I will address this together. Do quote specific verses from Valmiki Ramayana that (supposedly) claim to mention Buddha. 3. Check my talks on River Sarasvati. I may address this in this series if time permits 4. Will provide a long answer in this series. The short answer is (Absence of evidence is NOT evidence of absence). 🙏🙏

I also have two questions and hopefully you could guide me to any video that talks about these. 1. How are the vanaras described? Do they have any similarity with modern apes? 2. Shree Krishna has been criticised a lot due to his relationships with women. Especially the hiding of clothes and his relationship with Radha. How do we tackle such a question when someone wants an explanation? Thank you much sir.

Sorry sir but the same info could've been given in a 10 minutes concise video 🙏

[@NileshOak]

I agree. I am working on a 2-3 min-long series. To convey relevant and complete info in 2-3 min (or 10 min) is an art and I have a long way to go before I achieve it. In fact, this is something I tried 10+ years ago. It raised more questions (people wanted to know more) than it answered. Thus, this time I have decided, at least for now, not to worry about the duration of each episode. The folks can always skip, speed up or use other means to manage. 🙏🙏

[@Sigmananda]

@@NileshOak Pranam Sir. I think compressing such topics is hard and it may not convey nuance, you could add time-stamps to these long-format videos and create shorts from the same video as well. I believe these longer discussions are necessary and thank you for your work !

@@Sigmananda 🙏🙏 Thank you. I am also thinking as the audience takes to their own Swadhyaya and Abhyasa, I will be able to get to the gist with no need to explain the background knowledge. Until that happens though, I aim to use free flow format (while learning continuously from the feedback).
