First Published: 01:31 IST(23/2/2013) Last Updated: 01:34 IST(23/2/2013) share more. 3 Comments Tweet email print The UPA government has rejected the RK Pachauri Committee report that had found the entire Sethusamudram project unviable on two fronts economically as ecologically. The Pachauri Committee had submitted its report to the Supreme Court on its direction.
In response to the committee report, the government made it clear that it intended to pursue the project cutting through the Adams Bridge, popularly known as Ram Setu. Government does not accept the conclusions and recommendations of the Pachauri Committee. Given the advantages of the project, the Government of India intends to pursue the implementation of the project, read the government affidavit, requesting SC to resolve the contentious issues raised before it. BJP chief spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said, The governments affidavit is not the last word. The Ram Sethu is not a simple architectural symbol. It has the cult status of a deity. A bunch of petitions opposing the project are pending before SC since 2007 for adjudication. Work on the Sethusamudram project stopped after SC ordered a stay against the dredging work. It had then constituted the Pachauri committee to study an alternative route. The committee, however, called for scrapping the project. In its affidavit the government further stated it had already incurred Rs. 829.32 crore on the project as on June 30, 2012. . The work commenced after environmental clearances and was based on well-researched technical studies. The Sethusamudram project, the shipping channel is proposed to be 30 metres wide, 12 metres deep and 167 kms long.
Submission from my side: As the story of the said dispute is known to every one so there is need for further explanation. In short the issue is relating to existence of Lord Rama. Earlier many of the political leaders have submitted from 2007 and onwards that Lord Rama is imaginary character and story of Ramayana is for guiding people towards righteous. Even many scholars have not submitted the historical proof for existence of Rama otherwise they could resist Government on affidavit. The Lord Rama has really built the bridge or not is really big question because no one has seen God, even Prime Minister of Historical India (Bharat) has not seen Lord otherwise there would not any requirement to write this article by me. I am here to really submit the fact that Lord Rama existed not only in past, but in present and future as well. Arguments in support of existence of Lord Rama and Rama Setu: Argument #1: (Mythological) I would like to share one very important verse of Bhavishya Purana as mentioned below:
I pray Lord Krishna, who has taken his First incarnation as Machchh (Fish) to save Veda from demon and brought life on the earth (after strike of comet (sea) which has brought water on the earth). Second incarnation as Kachchh (Tortoise) to form the geography of the earth, the Third incarnation as Varah (Boar) to restore the earth which was going in to sea by the act of Hiranaksha, the Fourth incarnation as Narsinh (Lion head human i.e. Lion man) to kill the demon Hiranyakashyap, the Fifth incarnation as Vaman (Short man) win over the evil thoughts of King Bali, Sixth incarnation as Parshuram (Axe man) as promised to King Bali to save their people from Kshatriya at Golden Gates, Seventh incarnation as Ram (Ideal man) to kill Ravan, Eighth incarnation as Krishna (Perfect man) Balaram to take Hal (plough) as weapon , Ninth incarnation as Buddha(Enlightened man) to spread compassion, and Tenth (upcoming) incarnation as Kalki (Muru- the Root of universe) to swoon the Malechchha and heal the earth. Shrimad Bhagwad Gita: Lord Krishna has sung in Bhagwad Gita that he incarnates for Dharma the religion. Now question comes in ordinary human mind that what is dharma? Dharma is nothing but the rules given by Lord himself to follow. Again question comes when Lord has given the rules? Who heard the rules? Where are those rules? I would say, the rules are in the religious books. Again question comes in ordinary persons mind that is this books/ statements are really given by Lord? The answer in Gita itself where Lord says that person does not believe in these books/statements will not be free from the matrix of life & death created by me. I would say, if you really want to know come near to Lord, he has created everything to direct you the path which ends to God- the ultimate dham Argument #2: (Historical) Lord Buddha said: I am not the first Buddha, nor shall I be the last. It is direction of incarnations of Lord in past and present and who is only one whose name can be given any from the ten above. Further, Lord Buddha established the rule of enlightenment which is nothing but to become super human to watch past, present and future as well. Only the person who is enlightened can give the historical proof of existence of Lord Rama. He is the person to strongly say that this is the future which can not be interpreted exactly by ordinary human who has yet not seen himself. Further, everything which is happening in this universe is under permission and knowledge of supreme lord. Finding out Enlightened persons: 1. Lord Buddha (Birth 6 th century BCE) 2. Isa (Birth 4 BCE) 3. Muhammad (Birth 6 th century AD) 4. Dhani Matang Dev (Birth 9 th century AD) 5. Mamaidev (Birth 11 th century AD) 6. Swami Vivekanand (Birth 12 th Jan, 1863) 7. Others as well but I dont know exactly As stated above, enlightened person has seen past, present and future. I have read the prophecies of all above and came to know that Mamaidev has stated past, present and future exactly and scientifically it has been proved. Mamaidev has talked about Origin of universe, four yuga timeline, all incarnations of supreme lord, history of world, Lady emperor of India, Mughal emperors in India, foreign people domination in India, Selling of water in pouch, selling of food in pouch, selling of land, global warming, flying planes, Television, King of foreign countries in 21st century, world War III in 21st century, incarnation of Lord in world war-III, judgement day, establishment of Panchorath Yuga (Satya Yuga) and future yugas as well. I am not submitting the whole world timeline stated by great Mamaidev here but I am submitting only timeline of four yugas as per verses of Mamaidev. Verse on Timeline of Satya Yuga: Verse: Yug karta maas faganvo padav ne osis mali, Devtaye jang racheyo sos varateya sanatris Translation: Satya Yuga was of 3700 years. Which was finished on padav in falgun month?
Verse on Timeline of Treta Yuga: Verse: Yug tetra maas vaishakha varas adhlakha varateya, Atak ugamte dan por chadante maut tanu vasmu, Teni lanka kot me yoddho rawan mo Translation: Treta Yuga was of 50000 years. Which was finished in vaishakha month when warrior Rawan killed.
Verse on Timeline of Dwapara Yuga: Verse: Yug duwa maas chaitra vo ken je much me hui ekadashi, Pandh padeyo kurukshetra me dev mamai che sos varateya chorasi Translation: Dwapara Yuga was of 8400 years. Which was finished on ekadashi of chaitra month when kurukshetra war finished. Verse on Timeline of Kali Yuga: Verse: Samvat oganiso vane saik ootra par nu udse, Kalyug ji sang maas bhadrwo that trij teni tutse errbandh Translation: Kali Yuga was of 5178 years (up to Saka calendar 1997 = 2076 AD). Which will be finished on trij of bhadra month when comet will run in north side and errband (time between two yuga) will break. Considering following details have been submitted in support of timeline of four yuga considering various characteristics as mentioned in the puranas: 65202 BCE: Sat yug (Golden Age) Characteristics: Duration of 3700 years. Known as Golden Age. Also known as Krita yug. Comes after cycle of four yug. Human age in this yug is four times than the age in Kali yug. Dharma has dominance. People are Religious and healthy. Importance of Tapasya (Heat) in this yug. Majority of the people believe about existence of God. Majority of people enjoys the happiness of Swarg (Heaven). 61S02 61S02 61S02 61S02 BCE: Treta yug (Silver Age) Characteristics: Duration of 50000 years. Known as Silver Age. Human age in this yug is three time than the age in Kali yug. Dharma has dominance declines from that in Sat yug. People are Religious, quite god and possess less knowledge. Importance of Gyan (Knowledge) in this yug. Half of the people on the earth believe about existence of God. Population on the earth double compared to Sat yug.
11S02 11S02 11S02 11S02 BCE: Dwapar yug (Bronze Age) Characteristics: Duration of 8400 years. Known as Bronze Age. Human age in this yug is two time than the age in Kali yug. People declining in terms of dharma compared to Sat yug and followers of Truth. Importance of Yagna (Sacrifice) in this yug. Forth of the people on the earth believes about existence of God. Population on the earth half compared to Kali yug.
2102 2102 2102 2102 BCE: Kali yug (Iron Age) Characteristics: Duration of 5178 years. Known as Iron Age. Human age in this yug is forth the age in Sat yug. People are interest, cheater, lier and fraudulent. Importance of Daan (Donation) in this yug. Few of the people on the earth believe about existence of God and reach to almighty. Population on the earth four times compared to Sat yug.
It seems that Treta Yuga completed and Dwapar yuga started in 11541 BCE means in 11541+ 2012 = 13553 years before today. It means Setu was built before 13533 years. Arguments on Technical ground: (Earth before 13533 years): NASA and scientist all over the world accept that Ice Age was started before 26000 years and it has got peak level around 13500 years before today. Probably you can understand what I mean to say. Mamaidev said Rama killed Rawan before 13553 years and it was peak level of Ice Age. It is nothing but the matrix created by Lord himself at the time of Lord Rama so that a human can build the bridge on Ocean. It that of peak level of Ice Age, majority of the water got vaporized and stored at the poles of the earth and earth got Tilt of 23.44 degree. At that time, water level in the ocean gone below more than 10 feets. As measured by Hanuman, that the shortest distance between rameshwaram and lanka, it was easy for human form Lord Rama to build the bridge (not that much easy as you are imaging now) and was built on the ocean between rameshwaram and lanka.
