The Birth of Shri Rama


This is the day of Saraswathi Pooja , So with the blessings of saraswathi ma , I am starting this new topic which is the pride of our India . My reference is completely on the Text of Valmiki Ramayana which is the source text .
My Aim in this is to give the proof that Ramayana is a history and the date and time told in that is exactly correct .
====
First
====
The first thing is the birth date of Rama . The Valmiki Ramayan says the exact stellar configuration during the Ramas birth . So in total Valmiki Ramayan give 8 stellar configuration like that in the whole text . So based configuration on that you can find the 8 dates . But why I am saying this ???? ,
Yes , it has some indirect meaning because in one on the 8 dates , They said one day is Solar Eclipse in Pacnhavatti ( Today Nasik ) . And that day if we can find with our scientific knowledge , The same Date it was Solar Eclipse in Nasik . What does that mean It mean all the 8 dates are Correct !!! .
I will give more info on the Historical Verification and scientific verification on Ramayana in the following mails in a clear manner .

Today
========
So let us see the Birth Date of Rama first . I try to give the sanskrit verse so that anyone can verify it with the source text .




The Translation
===========
On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and then in the twelfth month, on the ninth day of chaitra month [April-May,] when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the ruling star of day is punarvasu, the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat, and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who is adored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama.
