One thing I appreciate Nilesh Oak's work is that, he has proved beyond doubt that Ramayana and Mahabharata are history of India and not myths as many westerners try to prove.

Kanishk Gulwadi sorry but your failed attempt has failed. Lots of people like you including Mughals and British have tried it. But Vedic culture is so strong you can’t destroy it.
It makes some sense now, I used to wonder why Ravana stopped in Gokarna which is in west coast of India, while returning with Atma linga, while the Sri Lanka we are assuming now is towards the East coast side of India.
@@nishantsharma7082 The western coast is closer to the original Lanka at the equator, this is where Nala built the temporary bridge for Raama sena as this was the shortest route.
Sit this is fantastic presentation as usual. The question I Have is then is Rameswaram not the original Rameswaram and then is the Ram setu not the original setu? A lot of questions that surely starts. Please note that every place in Sri Lanka has a Rama story. It will be interesting to see how this research will affect that
175 to 150 KM east of Fuvahmulah . That is where Lanka exists . I wish Nileshji could do a private archeological dig there . He can go for crowd funding , many of us do not have the large amount of funds to invest in this endeavor but a crowd funded program could be a game changer . Not only would this reveal Lanka but it would begin a battle against communists archeologists who are intent on destroying the world economy by destroying the history and therefore doing a psychological destruction of not just Indian civilization but also the world .
During my middle school days (around 1985), I remember the political/geological charts (in Kannada printed during 1960-70) used during the social/history classes bears the name as Simhala Desha or Simhala Dweepa or Cylone for today's Srilanaka. Wonderful and powerful presentation Nilesh ji. Namo Also thinking, the land piece of today's Srilanka, was in drifting or transition at Niraksha position ....14 thousand years back?
Nilesh, appreciate your research efforts, logical, structured and ease in interpreting Sanskrit verses of our ancient culture which you are reviving 💯🌹🕉🕉👏👏🧡🧡👌
One thing to put on here! Yugas are actually the measurement of the galactic timeline ! As all seasons have their own characteristics & timeline same with the yugas, it's scientific totally, let me tell, this time is the transitional period for the beginning of new chaturyuga or simply the the kaliyuga's final phase of 28th chaturyuga. So see, first of all we need to understand that, [(1 year of Devas = 360 Human Years) note:- time is different at different parts of the universe, and 'Devas' are the higher level of conscious entity than us, they have subtle bodies, not physical & it can be attained by us too if we go in deep through immense penance, because Devas belong to metaphysical world) So, Satya Yuga: 4800 divine years = 17,28,000 human years (Four times of Kaliyuga) Treta Yuga: 3600 divine years = 12,96,000 human years (Thrice of Kaliyuga) Dwapara Yuga: 2400 divine years = 8,64,000 human years (Twice of Kaliyuga) Kaliyuga: 1200 divine years = 4,32,000 human years This is the fact!! Also, let me tell if we converted 12 hrs of day into deciseconds then, it's result comes 4,32,000 deci-seconds. So, it can be understood that all these things are as accurated practically the way they are mentioned, it's the measurement of time. In addition, we all should know that, Actually, there's a miscalculation in the age of yugas. (Please read it all till end) This is the reason why 'Bhavishyamalika' written around 500 years old by Mahapurush Achutanand (all predictions done in 'Bhavishyamalika' is happening every year) & several other Future predictors like Sant Ravidas, Nostradamus, Jay Gurudev including several foreign future pedictors; everyone pointing towards a same point about the ending of Kaliyuga with a great devastation, as it is happening also no doubt about it, with stating the arrival of Lord Kalki for the beginning of Satya Yuga. (Note: the predictions of all those astrologers are coming true, each event) So, it's not only about predictions, there are plenty of proofs about it too. As we all know, Dwarika City was built by Almighty Lord Krishna at the end of Dwapara Yuga ( in order to protect his people from the attack of 'Jarasandh') which is found to be much much older, from radio carbon dating of the submerged city by the archeological team it has been found that, the remains of Dwarika city are 32,000 years & even older including some structures of the city is 200,000 to 400,000 years old which is exactly the time period of Kaliyuga (4,32,000 years) (Note:- these findings are done in just initial phases there's still a lot more to find there, chances of finding even more ancient structures after further deep excavation in it) So, if we add up: 32,000+400,000 it comes up 432,000 years it's the total age of Kaliyuga that's why from these proofs it clearly indicates the Kaliyuga is in it's final phase & we are on the transformation period for the beginning of Satya Yuga also called as 'Sangam Yuga' Now, some people may argue by giving astronomical preferences "No, it was happened around 5000, 6000 years ago" some even say 3000 years old being in dillema so for those people: See, the same astronimical arrangements are aligned at the same positions every 5,000/10,000 years so everybody must try to understand these stuffs more deeply. So, Dwapara Yuga ended 432,000 years ago as according to these scientific proofs, this is the reason why we aren't getting the remains of any kingdom of that period because several external factors with natural calamities played a role for the complete loss of those remains. The dates & the dynasties that ruled between the time period of King JANMEJAYA (Son Of King Parikshit, who did Nagdahan Yagnya) and his descendants to the age of Gautam Buddha (Pre - Bouddha Age) is still in dark, the political situations, events between this period isn't revealed till now cause, there's a gap of vast timeline. So, there's a miscalculation in the actual age passed of Kaliyuga, lot of disasters happened in this vast timeline of 4,32000 years, that's why they forgot the actual starting date of kaliyuga & it's age since then, from 5000 back they again started it's counting from the beginning so, that's the main reason why there's always a debate about the time period of Mahabharata war, if kaliyuga was started just 5000 years ago from now then why Dwarika City built by Lord Krishna at the end of Dwapara Yuga is more than 32,000 years old and some structures of Dwarika City are even 100,000 - 400,000 years old, this is the question so, factfully if we look this is the transitional phase for the beginning of full Satya Yuga , same scenarios are around us like; crime will be common at the final phase of kaliyuga, nature will be completely ruined out by humans, as we know nowadays our oceans are full of plastic, just think of it how much our nature can resist it & how much worst things are left still fo be done additionally, girls are now impregnant in just seven/ten years old as mentioned in 'Srimad Bhagwatam, Bhavishyapuran, these cases are lot more than imagined. Additionally, Mughals, Britishers tried their best to destroy the existence of Sanatan Dharma at one period of time, that period was full of cruelty, slavery, miseries, injustice and so on that's everyone familiar within! Secondly, the consequences, age of humans during the final phase of kaliyuga was written at the end of Dwapara, it was all written as according to the age limit of people belonging to Dwapara yuga because at that time, the age limit of a human was 1000 years that's 10 times of present age limit of humans .i.e. 100 years. So, age of 100 years old guy of Kaliyug is is equivalent to the 1000 years old guy of Dwapara. As according to the time limit of Dwapar Yuga, the age of 12 years guy is 10 times of it in Kaliyuga that comes 120 years & as per scriptures, the maximum age of humans will be 12 years at the final phase of Kaliyuga (means as we know 100 years aged guy of Kaliyuga equivalent to 1000 years aged guy of dwapara so, 12 years guy as per dwapara timeline is 120 years of Kaliyuga) So, now it's obvious that 12 years is max human age depicted in scriptures with respective of dwapara age limit is actually 120 years from above calculation and yeah in this last phase, a normal person can live upto 120 years of life only of he/she follows a disciplined way of life along with practice of yoga, pranayama, right diet plan otherwise it seems almost impossible to live upto actual time limit of this phase also. Similarly, human height will be much smaller at the very end of Kaliyuga as prefered in 'Srimad Bhagwatam' the average height of humans will be of about '3 Hatha' that means 5'5'' this is an indeed an average height of humans worldwide if we calculated the average. ( Note:- It should also be remembered that, height was mentioned in scriptures as per the height of human possess during dwapara yuga, the average height of people during dwapara used to be 12/12.5 feet and on the basis of the physique of that time, height of people in final phase of kaliyuga was calculated which they referred as '3 hathas' as according to the size of hands of people of that time not this time.) So, these all informations & facts clearly points out that we're in very near for the beginning of new satya yuga of 29th chaturyug, it's an actual fact in addition if we take some scientific preference also, the poles movement of earth that happens on each 432,000 years & it's happening in this present time by changing it's position from Canada to Siberia, Russia which clearly points out on the same thing. Most importantly, "The main reason of every people being in dilemma about Kaliyuga's age is the carelessness of all scholars, pandits" As, all the Pandits and other scholars recited the same quote every year "Kaliyuge Pratham Charane, Kaliyuge Pratham Charane" and forgot about it's counting in this vast timeline, forgot to add up years, just repeated the same line 'Kaliyuge Pratham Charane' no one counted it further, just recited the same quote actually written by Maharshi Ved Vyasa at the beginning of Kaliyuga at the Pratham Charan/First Phase of Kaliyuga That's why, almost 95% people are in dillema in the exact date of yuga, but it can be solved by going through these scientific proofs: Reference Of Dwarika City: www.speakingtree.in/allslides/the-city-of-dwarka-had-existed-from-32-000-to-9-000-bc/dwaraka-coast Pole Changes it's Position in each 400,000 years including 32,000 years that's the age of Kaliyug & happens in each end of yuga as per scriptures: www.treehugger.com/magnetic-north-shifting-b-miles-a-year-might-signal-pole-r-4863899
I read a very interesting research report about a decade back on a website which is missing now. It established with solid proof that mahabaratha war happened about 432000 years back. I couldn't find that website or report anymore on the web.
@@silvarajoomuniandy4316 Yes bro yes it's a truth coz there is a way to identify yuga, "krita yuga savi yogi bigyaani" means krita yuga the first charan of satya yuga, which refers in this time; science will be in it's limit, yoga will be flourished much rapid way and indeed this is happening round the globe.

This research and findings NEED to be taught to all high school children in India. That will disinfect the Indian culture of the falsehoods created by both Islamic and BrUtish cultures.
Great presentation. Had been trying to understand the exact location of Srila lanka recently. Ramayana Says the Vanaras built a 100 yojanas of Sethu across the Indian ocean. Now, we give an average value of either 8 or 9 miles, it will beyond 800 miles from the southern most point of India.
No one knows exact value of Yojna So it's impossible to calculate exact distance. No mention of Indian Ocean. Read सुंदरकांड from valmiki you will get know that Sagra Was expanded by King Sagar. King Sagar was Ancestor of King Bhagirath and it was king Sagar who started Task of bringing Ganga to land from himalyas. The project was completed by 4th generation. To prepare root of Ganga many place were digged stones were cut.
I was wondering the same thing. Because in Ramayana it’s described that it took hanuman more than a week to reach Lanka from Rameswaram. But the actual distance to current Lanka is not that long.
Eagerly waiting for this. Is the Lanka of Ramayan submerged too(like Dwarka) ? Is it off the coast of Maldives? Hope to see some enlightening new info. It's almost like ancient mysteries unfolding with each of your video. Great work so far!
sir i think i have found the answer. it is mt kunjara which is that equator on which there is a big building for agastya. why a sage needs a big house?And also 10 times the hieght than width.

Thank you so much for the new ideas. I am from tamilnadu .we used to hear the country called LEMURIA near the present day Kanyakumari. It was said to be destroyed by tsunami like event which was mentioned in Tamil epic SILAPPADHIKARAM .

It is Mt Kunjara which is in maldives or something submerged under the sea but on the equator for sure. Maldives islands has old traditions which wikipedia says dates to 2000BC sun faring settlers from Gujrath/Bihar
The age of Ramayana I was wondering how was that the gomphotheres, 4 tasked elephants were guarding the palace of Ravana when Hanuman went there at that time. Ramayana was said to be around 4000 bce. But there were no gomphotheres at that time which went extinct. Gomphotheres existed 1.5 million to 2 million years ago. So what I feel is that Ramayana happaned about 1.5 million years ago. The whites' wrote histories are based on the Christians believe of creation of humans 4000 to 6000 years ago when Adam was created. And many Hindus also took this as a basis, And their beliefs contradict with modern science where human fossils are found to date 200k years. Modern man's movement itself from Africa took 70,000 years ago. I hope Hindu scientists, anthropologists and archaeologists do independent researches on this. The Abrahamic religions are lying the world. I wonder how learned people are still hoodwinked to this Adam and Eve theory.
Your comment is nonsense. You went from white Christians history; 4000-6000 years ago>to white people history done by SCIENCE; 1.5 milli0o0n years ago. You cannot use both in the ame sentence and compare it to dr oaks nonsense.
Sir, I am from tamilnadu, I came to see your video today. We in tamil literature in Sangam period literature there is a vast treasure of information about the sea taken lands, like in "Silapathikaram" there mention about the vast land and rich culture south of the land mass we see today. Is it the same land mass you just mentioned here, could it be?
@@SK-pq3ie well in that case I insist you to watch this small documentary ruclips.net/video/9I2hBer91Gw/видео.html The one we're discussing is somewhat related to these video and perhaps you'll be amazed, if not delighted, to get the gist of the matter related to the submerged place
There is a spot on Google Earth at 00 : 79. Shows a rectangular structure. At the north end of it, there's a crossing of two lines, exactly at the equator and 79 meridian. It also shows a viable path from the southernmost point of "then" India to it. Where it appears to have a ridge or a built area possibly a bridge. It is in a curved path and not completely direct south from what used to be the Prime meridian then. Perhaps they took the route most viable through the shallow sea to build the bridge and the observatory/fort at Niraksha. Structure is there.
@@shripadjoshi7352 Thank you for your question. When I first started looking at google earth underwater images, I saw several structures on the coordinates 00, which means at the Equator. then 79 degrees on the google earth map. Very close to where the zero meridian was before the British stole it.
@@shripadjoshi7352 Having said all that, it's worth taking into consideration that before 10,500 BCE, the sea level was much lower than it is today, and the lower continental shelf was exposed and is actually where many previous culture's archaeology may be buried under silt. Also, there is land subsidence, so yea. It's down there in the silt.
Sinhala is the native language of Sri Lanka. That's the reason Sri Lanka was called by the name "Sinhala Deepa/Sihala Deepa", which translates to "The land of Sinhalese".Thambapanni is another name used to call Sri Lanka which translates to: "the land where the copper color sand lies".
In an answer to a question about locating landmass of lanka on current map, Nilesh clarified its present day absence while aptly pointing its location on the then prime meridian passing through Ujjain, Kurukshetra etc and at the equator, ‘Niraksha’. If we look at current map near Male, we see the prominent north-south mid ocean ridge, and some prominent masses proximately only between 100 to 200 meters below the sea surface about 5 to 7 degrees south of male. These whole bunch of masses would be above sea level at the time of Ramayana. So the position of Lanka should not be much of a guess work. The mainstream science also supports movements of land masses where the Indian plate is moving slightly anticlockwise and prominently in north-east direction. This must be the reason of the said prime meridian reference line shifting east over these 14k years, that too still showing clear indications of a reasonable theoretical standpoint. Lanka must be the sizeable mass visible just underwater and below today’s Male and today’s oceanic ridge including male islands, which must then be just below the sea surface, forming base for the Ram Setu.
Good work. Ravan had kept the navgrah i.e. nine planets in his control as written in ramayan. He also had very good knowledge of astronomy. So this is most natural that he asks vishwakarma to build him an island on zero point on earth. He always wanted control over whole universe. It is stated that he kept sita away from himself at some place and only visited her sometimes. So may be she was kept in today's lanka. But ravan stayed away on his special island , made especially for him. Seems possible. ...just my speculation. Jyoti Dandekar.🙏🏻👍
Thank you for sharing your exhausting work , I am still have a small point for clarification, it has been constantly told by my grandparents about danuskodi as the starting point for rama setu , which leads directly to present day Sri Lanka also in the book of Swami Desikan Hamsasandesa also propagated the well held assumptions about the present day Sri Lanka is Ravanas Lanka, sir can you through some light on this.
Nilesh ji I am thoroughly confident now that Indus script encodes sanskrit language . We don't have any evidence of Avestan language in Iran before 2000 BCE ( all are elamite inscriptions ). At around 600 BCE avestan language which is very very close to Sanskrit appeared in Behistun inscription. That means it could have arrived there by 2000 BCE .
@@sarveshOG Avestan language is close to Vedic Sanskrit. It arrived in Iranian plateau at around 2000 BCE for sure based on religious texts composition of Zend Avesta. All the personalities in Zend Avesta could easily be dated beyond 2000 BCE. There are some common figures between Zend Avesta and Rig Veda. Please do google search.

The etymology of the word Lanka is "island". So, when one says Ravana's Lanka, it means Ravana's island(s). Could be referring to the small islands SW of southern tip of India like Mulan, Maafushi, Malé etc Valmiki's Ramayana also suggests that Lanka was among a 'series of island nations (The islands around Maldives) and sunken mountains (Maldives was a huge mountain before it sunk'.
there is a branch of Tambrabharani river flowing in Kanyakumari district (Marthandam) and Mahendra mountain and Portion of Sanjeevani mountain fell in Kanyakumari district
Akanaṉūṟu Akanaṉūṟu, which is dated between 1st century BCE and 2nd century CE, has a reference to the Ramayana in poem 70. The poem places a triumphant Rama at Dhanushkodi, sitting under a Banyan tree, involved in some secret discussions, when the birds are chirping away.[11]
looking forward....Its about time we unearth, present, and preserve our glorious factual past rather than refering to western malicious and prejudiced Indian history who ludricrously have insisting our sacred maha puranas as myths
Great work by Nilesh Sir and team! However, please help me understand (unless I missed the explanation) - Didn't Lord Rama build a Shivalinga in Rameshwaram which is to the south east of India before building the bridge? Why would Lord Rama go to South East all the way to build a bridge if it is not to Sri Lanka? OK assuming Ravana's Lanka is to the South West of India as propagated then which place did Lord Rama perform the Linga Pooja before building the bridge?
The place you go to in order to establish a Lingam and do a consecration depends not at all on conveniences and entirely on the will of the deity. The question you're asking is essentially obsolete when we appreciate our Dharma.
13:30 If Sri Lanka and India connected together at that time Lord Rama cannot leave from Rameshearam. He should leave from Hambantota port currently in Sri Lanka.?
By far the best study on dating ancient Indian History, itihasas Ramayan and Mahabharata timelines. Are there any Kings from Lanka participated in Mahabharata Kurukshetra War
Yes Mahbharat literally has a description of the island and its inhabitants. It mentions the Simhala fought on the side of the kaurvas. Read the Mahabharat.
Sadness is not when most of the people don’t know the truth, that is a problem which can be solved. Sadness is when, who know the truth manipulate it or hide it. Deny, Convince or CONFUSE
This is from my best knowledge: Sri Ram went Lanka following the trail from Seetha while being kidnapped. Ravana took her from Maharashtra. Took a straight line path down which includes [sabarimala, chadayamangalam places i know] etc. **Then he took her to Srilanka. Why I believe this is because there are a lot of evidences for example Ram Seethu, Sigiria , Ravana Cave, Rock etc are there. There is no other land mass which can steal it's title. Rise and Drop of water level on ocean can be rapid too.There were ice age following it. It's not 100 % accurate. ****** 1. Is there any possibilities that Maldives could be First Lanka before Ravana acquire it from his brother kubera? 2. There's evidences that sahya mountains to be folded mountain. That means kerala is joined to main land. So there are possibilities of movements of Lanka. But my belief is there was ocean between the Srilanka and India. When the government understood its historical importance they give it the original name. I have a humble request. Your presentation is very strong, evident rich people will believe it true. What all things pointed out can be true. But don't point it until you find the correct one.
Hello all the researchers, just a lame suggestion: can a parallel study of Iliad or odyssey help us. Reason why- I heard in one of the Sattology talks that Ravana's controlled land stretched upto Europe and the plot of both poetries (Ramayana and Odyssey) have some commonalities. So might be that Homer might have added some hints to help us.
Can you please research about Jambu dweepa, Bharth kanda is called Jambu dweepa, so i am expecting a Pre Gondwana logic, so most possibly Ravana Lanka you are searching for could well be Africa or Medagascar, Move the Indian subcontinent out of Asian land or at least partally
Dear Dr. Niles N Oak, As a scientist who adhered to "producing" physical results, I perfectly agree with your methodology and conclusions about chronology & geographic locations of Ayodhya, Kishkindha, and agree that if we follow Maharshi Valmiki, LANKA could not be the Sinhaldweep. I would however still wonder about Kuber Shiv, & Ravan. Also Mayavi-ness referred to again & again in our Granths . . . . . Could Lanka be a floating city at Equator ? ( 0,0 ) And, what could have happened in 2000-3000 years back ? - R K Khardekar
The "Ashoka vana" is still maintained by the Srilanka as a proof for Ravana's land and many proofs are still available in Srilanka. The palace of Ravana still exists on a mountain.
Excellent talk yet again. Small question. I drew a line from Kurukshetra to Ujjain and extended it further south. It does not create a straight vertical but it passes exactly through the islands today known as Maldives and Maldives also lie on the equator. Also fits into the description of Lanka being towards South West. Maldives, a possible option?
We must take into consideration the fact that Ujjain temple was actually destroyed and rebuilt... I remember reading it a while ago. It could be possible that the original exact point of the line is lost during destruction and relocation of temple

Mr.Nilesh Oak, I watch your videos with great interest. About Lanka I have some narrations to be made. I had gone to SriLanka in 2019. In Trikonmalee there are evidences of Ravana's presence there. Trikoneshwar temple where Ravana worshipped and how he wanted to uproot the temple and take it to his palace for his mother to have Shiva Darshan everyday. Other places too like hot water wells he made to conduct pithur shrardham for which his mother had to bathe. The whole of todays SriLanka might have been Sinhala , ruled by some ruler and Ravana had his kingdom in and around Nuwara Eliya, Seetha Eliya etc which are in the middle of Sri Lanka. So Rama with his Wanara sena need not have gone through Jaffna, instead through the midwest of SriLanka which was surriunded by sea even when Jaffna was attached to India by land. Therefore Rama might have chosen to go through sea directly to Ravan's kingdom without bothering the Sinhala ruler. When I was in Trikoneshwar temple one lady around 35 yrs came , she was extraordinarily beautiful, tall, fair and royal looking. She gave the Archana plate to the Guruji and told her name and her Gotram as Ravana Gotram. I was shocked because I never heard that Gotram's name before and it was like she was assuring that she is the "Descendant" of Ravana's family which ascertained her Royal look. I believe strongly the present SriLanka is only the Lanka of Ravana. It was called as Lanka in Ramayana and we all used to call it Lanka in Tamil Nadu before it was changed to SriLanka. The Sinhalese changed it to SriLanka because the word Sri is wealth and Kubera is the God of wealth and Kubera was ruling over Lanka before Ravana. Hence they changed it to SrILanka.
Yes, even now SriLanka has a LOT of places- Temples, Geographical locations (including temples, caves, water bodies, mountain peaks) named after King Ravana. There are MANY legends surrounding King Ravana, in Sri Lanka. One is that the Sigiriya Rock fortress was Ravana's castle. Yes there is a Seetha Amman Temple in Nuwareliya ( central hills).
I checked mahakal temple coordinates on google... It gives 75.7682 east... Sthaneshwar temple gives 76.827 east.. . Out of curiosity I checked other jyotirlinga temples.... Kedarnath, mallikarjun and rameshwaram are the only temples situated on a straight line... Coordinates difference less than one degree...
I remember reading that mahakal temple was destroyed and rebuilt. It can be that the original temple was moved. This has happened with many of jyothirling temples... latest was kashi Vishvanath temple
Sir, Ramayana happened in Tretha yuga according to our ancient scripts. Seeing the duration of each yuga, it must have happened atleast 850 thousand years ago.
Lanka was actually between modern day malaysia and Australasia tectonic plate. There are islands between australia and indonesia called Langkawi. Hanuman and other vanaras were from the south east asia belt (Tamil nad to malaysia/indonesia). Original kishkindha was here itself. How do i know? I was alive at that time and ive had visions. Past life regressions
you are right coz distance between india's souther tip to ravana's lanka is 100 yojans which is all most 1200km and langkawi is also that much far from india.
By your pinpointing location of Ravan's Lanka, is it a fair conjecture to presume that Patala loka was South America, considering that supposed Makardhwaja statues are found there?
Nileshji has gone deep into the subject but it's become more confusing. I would suggest you to take a look into SUBARNAPUR town in present Odisha. It's on the bank of mahanadi river and resembles highly to the description of Subarna Lanka !! The spires and domes of temples and palace is a complete resemblance to Lanka. Apart from this, the local folklore suggest that this place is the original Lanka. However, we want your views, as well 🙏
It could be possible that they turned east while climbing down the mountains ⛰ thinking the went south direction but they actually went east (south east) side. Then built Rama's bridges by nala and neela bcs it was built with the purpose of crossing the rama's army as sugreev being a general in Rama's vanara army.
@@jjagasetty2413 Rubbish, Since Sanskrit was the oldest language in India, people developed Indus script, Brahmi Script and devanagari script to write Sanskrit. Infact Hindi is written in Sanskrit script not the other way around. Get some good education instead of making cheap comments.
Dr Nilesh, have you noticed in Google earth map around Cochin Kerala there is a low lying island feature. Would this be of any interest from the perspective of Lanka of RAmAyan? Just curious. Other question was about Adithya Hridayam which is part of VAlimiki RAmAyan, sage Agasthya was present during the war between Ram and Ravan.Sage Agasthya's Ashram seem to be on the southern regions of western ghats. Are these two pieces of info of any use in the search of actual Lanka?
The Indian Ocean Geoid low are where there extraordinary gravitational pull seems to be the same area mentioned here on the equator and the longitude passing through Ujjain and Lanka. Any research on that direction?
Ravana's Lanka could've been a part of Kumari kandam which might've situated in the down south of the Indian ocean more than 1,200 kms away from the main land of Southern India. The arts we see of Kumari kandam today was just an assumption. Maybe Kumari kandam was linked with Madagascar and Australia but was not attached with the southern tip of India as it is shown today.
The easiest thing to measure in terms of geography is the latitude. You just hang a weight on a piece of string and measure the distance of the shadow cast by the top of the string from the weight at the bottom. It is not possible for anyone to mistake Lanka being on the equator. Therefore if Lanka was at the equator, it cannot be in Sri Lanka, or India. The only possible location is somewhere in Indonesia, and Indonesia does have extensive ancient trade links with India and Indian colonies and culture.
There was mention of Indonesia in ramayna in discription of sugrive during serch of sita so obviously Indonesia is not the lanka also ravnan gather in law is from maya dwip that os indoneshia who wrote the surya sindhanta
@@berdenmayur That argument carries no weight. Indonesia was never one country at that time, but many kingdoms, and the kingdoms were continually changing, and it was not called Indonesia at that time. The fact that one kingdom in Indonesia was mentioned does not mean that Lanka did not exist as another kingdom somewhere else in present day Indonesia. The equator cuts through the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and many significantly sized islands between Sulawesi and New Guinea, and these were never under unified rule until the 20th century, so there is plenty of different kingdoms that could be Lanka. The only think linking Sri Lanka to Ravena's Lanka is the fact that Adam's bridge in the Palk straight sounds like the causeway that was mentioned. However this could equally well be somewhere in Indonesia given the number of islands present there.
@@pisquared1827 yes that's the point yes Indonesia was not the country that time they said it Mayapuri of mayasur and it was part of India after ruled by pandyas kings now pls don't ask for proof because it was written in the all puranas and also you don't have proof for your claim also some south african arciologist found Hindu temples under the shore of Madagascar and diago Garcia that dose means it was a part of hindu civilization that dosent mean they spking tamil language. May be they are spiking other languages the other form of Sanskrit just like in dekhan you will find a pakrit language in the temaples build by calukyas ,rastrakutas,satvahnas and yadvas.
@@berdenmayur The only location that fits the distance from the Indian mainland of about 1213 km and be on the equator is western Sumatraen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanka Sri Lanka is only 20 miles off the Indian mainland and not on the equator. Those two facts could not be mistaken. As I said before, all you need to check if you are on the equator is a weight and a piece of string. If you make a pendulum with those and if the shadow cast is vertically below the string, you are on the equator - impossible to get wrong. Indonesia was also part of a major sea trade route with India, and many Indian ruling dynasties married into Indonesian royalty in order to further trade ambitions - for example one of the rulers of a kingdom in Kerala was an Indonesian prince who was invited to rule in the Indian kingdom because he was the heir to the throne due to intermarriage with an Indonesian ruler. The Koreans also trace their ancestry to an Indian princess. These royal betrothals are precisely the sort of thing that can lead to conflicts like in the Ramayana or the Greek epic the Illiad, where rivals to the throne may claim that the person they claim should be betrothed to them (for political gain) has been kidnapped. Having said that, this intermarriage also took place with Sri Lanka, where the royal family and court language was Kalingan, Cholan, Cheran, or Pandyan, for most of its history.
Hi. I have a few questions: You mentioned there is a possibility of Ceylon and actual Lanka be different, and separated by several hundreds of kilometres… Now how are we addressing these questions: 1. What about Palk Strait which is believed to be Ram Setu since long. If thats not Ram Setu, dont we have description of length of Ramsetu in Valmiki Ramayana, that can corroborate with the distance to Niruksha Lanka? 2. What about landmarks of historical references in Ceylon, like Ella and Nuwara Elliya, Ravana falls, dronagiri reference etc. 3. You mentioned Niruksha Lanka would be bigger, not a small landmass that could have been a subset of Maldives.. wont that make it more closer to Ceylon or actually attached to Ceylon itself. Only 0-0 long lattes passing through it like through Avanti in Indian landmass? Simhaldeepa, even if reference separate from Lanka, could be outskirts of the same landmass? 4. During Ramayan, astronomy suggests north america and europe under soft ice age due to their positioning on north pole vs actual artic today. Similarly, should not be the position of Niruksha Lanka could be different from what we are looking at from prime meridian perspective? 5. We have written text on Sugriva asking to go SW from stern ghats or Mahendra parvat, but Rameshwaram is on eastern side. How that can be linked? Would they have taken a detour only to establish a temple?
Rightly said, names of persons and places are reused. The latest example is Amravati used as new capital of Andhra Pradesh. I am not comfortable when it is said Rama had vanar sena or Hanuman and Sugreeva are monkeys. There are surnames like makkad that doesn't mean he is a monkey. In a similar sense vanar could be a surname and not necessarily literal monkey. There are several examples wherein the surnames are based on a bird or an animal. My close relatives surname is Kaki, which means crow in Telugu. Also, I very well understand that yugas have several definitions and timelines. But if you notice in the sankalp mantra the year mentioned goes into lakhs. It can be true too because earth is not few thousand years old, it is billions of years old, so the yuga timeline of 432000 years for kalyuga could be right too.
You should follow the morden research of yugas .also vanras was humans who are living in forest also ther wearing the monkey face and monkeys tell it'sention in (Valmiki)ramayna the concept of vanras as monkeys become femous after Kalidasa ramayna also lots of mis conception are emmerge after Kalidasa Rayna .
Any connection between the myth of Kumari kandam the land mass south of the current peninsula, associated with lord Subramanyan, with the location of Lanka in Ramayana ?
Unlike the Northern Hemisphere, the Hemisphere currently doesn't a bright . There's not even a moderately bright , like our Polaris, to mark the celestial
Thank you for the talk. One person asked why ravana did not built a bridge. Looking at the script by valmiki on rama building a bridge. Why a.bridge and not a navy armada. Secondly. Ravana is a brilliant ruler. Why he did not destroy the bridge during the contruction. Why he alliwd the rama to enter into.lanka with the army. There must be a subtle reason for valmiki to write the story in this manner. Is there a hidden reason for this
One thing I appreciate Nilesh Oak's work is that, he has proved beyond doubt that Ramayana and Mahabharata are history of India and not myths as many westerners try to prove.

Very very logical point....

Jai shree Ram
Sit this is fantastic presentation as usual. The question I Have is then is Rameswaram not the original Rameswaram and then is the Ram setu not the original setu? A lot of questions that surely starts. Please note that every place in Sri Lanka has a Rama story. It will be interesting to see how this research will affect that

175 to 150 KM east of Fuvahmulah . That is where Lanka exists . I wish Nileshji could do a private archeological dig there . He can go for crowd funding , many of us do not have the large amount of funds to invest in this endeavor but a crowd funded program could be a game changer . Not only would this reveal Lanka but it would begin a battle against communists archeologists who are intent on destroying the world economy by destroying the history and therefore doing a psychological destruction of not just Indian civilization but also the world .
There is no proof of a land unfortunately.

मनस्वी आणि अभ्यासपूर्ण!
Nilesh, appreciate your research efforts, logical, structured and ease in interpreting Sanskrit verses of our ancient culture which you are reviving 💯🌹🕉🕉👏👏🧡🧡👌
One thing to put on here!
Yugas are actually the measurement of the galactic timeline ! As all seasons have their own characteristics & timeline same with the yugas, it's scientific totally, let me tell, this time is the transitional period for the beginning of new chaturyuga or simply the the kaliyuga's final phase of 28th chaturyuga.
So see, first of all we need to understand that,
[(1 year of Devas = 360 Human Years) note:- time is different at different parts of the universe, and 'Devas' are the higher level of conscious entity than us, they have subtle bodies, not physical & it can be attained by us too if we go in deep through immense penance, because Devas belong to metaphysical world)
So,
Satya Yuga: 4800 divine years
= 17,28,000 human years (Four times of Kaliyuga)
Treta Yuga: 3600 divine years
= 12,96,000 human years (Thrice of Kaliyuga)
Dwapara Yuga: 2400 divine years
= 8,64,000 human years (Twice of Kaliyuga)
Kaliyuga: 1200 divine years
= 4,32,000 human years
This is the fact!! Also, let me tell if we converted 12 hrs of day into deciseconds then, it's result comes 4,32,000 deci-seconds.
So, it can be understood that all these things are as accurated practically the way they are mentioned, it's the measurement of time. In addition, we all should know that, Actually, there's a miscalculation in the age of yugas. (Please read it all till end)
This is the reason why 'Bhavishyamalika' written around 500 years old by Mahapurush Achutanand (all predictions done in 'Bhavishyamalika' is happening every year) & several other Future predictors like Sant Ravidas, Nostradamus, Jay Gurudev including several foreign future pedictors; everyone pointing towards a same point about the ending of Kaliyuga with a great devastation, as it is happening also no doubt about it, with stating the arrival of Lord Kalki for the beginning of Satya Yuga.
(Note: the predictions of all those astrologers are coming true, each event)
So, it's not only about predictions, there are plenty of proofs about it too.
As we all know, Dwarika City was built by Almighty Lord Krishna at the end of Dwapara Yuga ( in order to protect his people from the attack of 'Jarasandh') which is found to be much much older, from radio carbon dating of the submerged city by the archeological team it has been found that, the remains of Dwarika city are 32,000 years & even older including some structures of the city is 200,000 to 400,000 years old which is exactly the time period of Kaliyuga (4,32,000 years)
(Note:- these findings are done in just initial phases there's still a lot more to find there, chances of finding even more ancient structures after further deep excavation in it) So, if we add up:
32,000+400,000 it comes up 432,000 years it's the total age of Kaliyuga that's why from these proofs it clearly indicates the Kaliyuga is in it's final phase & we are on the transformation period for the beginning of Satya Yuga also called as 'Sangam Yuga'
Now, some people may argue by giving astronomical preferences "No, it was happened around 5000, 6000 years ago" some even say 3000 years old being in dillema so for those people: See, the same astronimical arrangements are aligned at the same positions every 5,000/10,000 years so everybody must try to understand these stuffs more deeply.
So, Dwapara Yuga ended 432,000 years ago as according to these scientific proofs, this is the reason why we aren't getting the remains of any kingdom of that period because several external factors with natural calamities played a role for the complete loss of those remains.
The dates & the dynasties that ruled between the time period of King JANMEJAYA (Son Of King Parikshit, who did Nagdahan Yagnya) and his descendants to the age of Gautam Buddha (Pre - Bouddha Age) is still in dark, the political situations, events between this period isn't revealed till now cause, there's a gap of vast timeline.
So, there's a miscalculation in the actual age passed of Kaliyuga, lot of disasters happened in this vast timeline of 4,32000 years, that's why they forgot the actual starting date of kaliyuga & it's age since then, from 5000 back they again started it's counting from the beginning so, that's the main reason why there's always a debate about the time period of Mahabharata war, if kaliyuga was started just 5000 years ago from now then why Dwarika City built by Lord Krishna at the end of Dwapara Yuga is more than 32,000 years old and some structures of Dwarika City are even
100,000 - 400,000 years old, this is the question so, factfully if we look this is the transitional phase for the beginning of full Satya Yuga , same scenarios are around us like; crime will be common at the final phase of kaliyuga, nature will be completely ruined out by humans, as we know nowadays our oceans are full of plastic, just think of it how much our nature can resist it & how much worst things are left still fo be done additionally, girls are now impregnant in just seven/ten years old as mentioned in 'Srimad Bhagwatam, Bhavishyapuran, these cases are lot more than imagined. Additionally, Mughals, Britishers tried their best to destroy the existence of Sanatan Dharma at one period of time, that period was full of cruelty, slavery, miseries, injustice and so on
that's everyone familiar within! Secondly, the consequences, age of humans during the final phase of kaliyuga was written at the end of Dwapara, it was all written as according to the age limit of people belonging to Dwapara yuga because at that time, the age limit of a human was 1000 years that's 10 times of present age limit of humans .i.e. 100 years.
So, age of 100 years old guy of Kaliyug is is equivalent to the 1000 years old guy of Dwapara.
As according to the time limit of Dwapar Yuga, the age of 12 years guy is 10 times of it in Kaliyuga that comes 120 years & as per scriptures, the maximum age of humans will be 12 years at the final phase of Kaliyuga (means as we know 100 years aged guy of Kaliyuga equivalent to 1000 years aged guy of dwapara so, 12 years guy as per dwapara timeline is 120 years of Kaliyuga) So, now it's obvious that 12 years is max human age depicted in scriptures with respective of dwapara age limit is actually 120 years from above calculation and yeah in this last phase, a normal person can live upto 120 years of life only of he/she follows a disciplined way of life along with practice of yoga, pranayama, right diet plan otherwise it seems almost impossible to live upto actual time limit of this phase also.
Similarly, human height will be much smaller at the very end of Kaliyuga as prefered in 'Srimad Bhagwatam' the average height of humans will be of about '3 Hatha' that means 5'5'' this is an indeed an average height of humans worldwide if we calculated the average. ( Note:- It should also be remembered that, height was mentioned in scriptures as per the height of human possess during dwapara yuga, the average height of people during dwapara used to be 12/12.5 feet and on the basis of the physique of that time, height of people in final phase of kaliyuga was calculated which they referred as '3 hathas' as according to the size of hands of people of that time not this time.)
So, these all informations & facts clearly points out that we're in very near for the beginning of new satya yuga of 29th chaturyug, it's an actual fact in addition if we take some scientific preference also, the poles movement of earth that happens on each 432,000 years & it's happening in this present time by changing it's position from Canada to Siberia, Russia which clearly points out on the same thing.
Most importantly, "The main reason of every people being in dilemma about Kaliyuga's age is the carelessness of all scholars, pandits"
As, all the Pandits and other scholars recited the same quote every year "Kaliyuge Pratham Charane, Kaliyuge Pratham Charane" and forgot about it's counting in this vast timeline, forgot to add up years, just repeated the same line 'Kaliyuge Pratham Charane' no one counted it further, just recited the same quote actually written by Maharshi Ved Vyasa at the beginning of Kaliyuga at the Pratham Charan/First Phase of Kaliyuga
That's why, almost 95% people are in dillema in the exact date of yuga, but it can be solved by going through these scientific proofs:
Reference Of Dwarika City:
www.speakingtree.in/allslides/the-city-of-dwarka-had-existed-from-32-000-to-9-000-bc/dwaraka-coast
Pole Changes it's Position in each 400,000 years including 32,000 years that's the age of Kaliyug & happens in each end of yuga as per scriptures:
www.treehugger.com/magnetic-north-shifting-b-miles-a-year-might-signal-pole-r-4863899
I read a very interesting research report about a decade back on a website which is missing now. It established with solid proof that mahabaratha war happened about 432000 years back. I couldn't find that website or report anymore on the web.

Great presentation. Had been trying to understand the exact location of Srila lanka recently. Ramayana Says the Vanaras built a 100 yojanas of Sethu across the Indian ocean. Now, we give an average value of either 8 or 9 miles, it will beyond 800 miles from the southern most point of India.
No one knows exact value of Yojna So it's impossible to calculate exact distance. No mention of Indian Ocean. Read सुंदरकांड from valmiki you will get know that Sagra Was expanded by King Sagar. King Sagar was Ancestor of King Bhagirath and it was king Sagar who started Task of bringing Ganga to land from himalyas. The project was completed by 4th generation. To prepare root of Ganga many place were digged stones were cut.
I was wondering the same thing. Because in Ramayana it’s described that it took hanuman more than a week to reach Lanka from Rameswaram. But the actual distance to current Lanka is not that long.
Kaha pe likha hai? Dikha

Yes
The age of Ramayana
I was wondering how was that the gomphotheres, 4 tasked elephants were guarding the palace of Ravana when Hanuman went there at that time. Ramayana was said to be around 4000 bce. But there were no gomphotheres at that time which went extinct. Gomphotheres existed 1.5 million to 2 million years ago. So what I feel is that Ramayana happaned about 1.5 million years ago. The whites' wrote histories are based on the Christians believe of creation of humans 4000 to 6000 years ago when Adam was created. And many Hindus also took this as a basis, And their beliefs contradict with modern science where human fossils are found to date 200k years. Modern man's movement itself from Africa took 70,000 years ago. I hope Hindu scientists, anthropologists and archaeologists do independent researches on this. The Abrahamic religions are lying the world. I wonder how learned people are still hoodwinked to this Adam and Eve theory.
True, i concur this Ramayan fits perfectly into yug time lines... 12000 BC is not the correct date.
This will be true. Humanity will turn out to be antique.
Your comment is nonsense. You went from white Christians history; 4000-6000 years ago>to white people history done by SCIENCE; 1.5 milli0o0n years ago. You cannot use both in the ame sentence and compare it to dr oaks nonsense.

There is a spot on Google Earth at 00 : 79. Shows a rectangular structure. At the north end of it, there's a crossing of two lines, exactly at the equator and 79 meridian. It also shows a viable path from the southernmost point of "then" India to it. Where it appears to have a ridge or a built area possibly a bridge. It is in a curved path and not completely direct south from what used to be the Prime meridian then. Perhaps they took the route most viable through the shallow sea to build the bridge and the observatory/fort at Niraksha. Structure is there.
That sounds very exciting
Just exciting conjecture provoked by Sri Nilesh Oak. Thank you@@kaushiksunapu5657
Can you share this location.
@@shripadjoshi7352 Thank you for your question. When I first started looking at google earth underwater images, I saw several structures on the coordinates 00, which means at the Equator. then 79 degrees on the google earth map. Very close to where the zero meridian was before the British stole it.
@@shripadjoshi7352 Having said all that, it's worth taking into consideration that before 10,500 BCE, the sea level was much lower than it is today, and the lower continental shelf was exposed and is actually where many previous culture's archaeology may be buried under silt. Also, there is land subsidence, so yea. It's down there in the silt.
Sinhala is the native language of Sri Lanka. That's the reason Sri Lanka was called by the name "Sinhala Deepa/Sihala Deepa", which translates to "The land of Sinhalese".Thambapanni is another name used to call Sri Lanka which translates to: "the land where the copper color sand lies".
Respected Sir, as per your interpretation of location of Ravana's Lanka is around the same area of the Gravity hole in Indian Ocean
That's what I've been thinking too
Again a big thank you Nilesh ji.
In an answer to a question about locating landmass of lanka on current map, Nilesh clarified its present day absence while aptly pointing its location on the then prime meridian passing through Ujjain, Kurukshetra etc and at the equator, ‘Niraksha’. If we look at current map near Male, we see the prominent north-south mid ocean ridge, and some prominent masses proximately only between 100 to 200 meters below the sea surface about 5 to 7 degrees south of male. These whole bunch of masses would be above sea level at the time of Ramayana. So the position of Lanka should not be much of a guess work. The mainstream science also supports movements of land masses where the Indian plate is moving slightly anticlockwise and prominently in north-east direction. This must be the reason of the said prime meridian reference line shifting east over these 14k years, that too still showing clear indications of a reasonable theoretical standpoint. Lanka must be the sizeable mass visible just underwater and below today’s Male and today’s oceanic ridge including male islands, which must then be just below the sea surface, forming base for the Ram Setu.
Good work. Ravan had kept the navgrah i.e. nine planets in his control as written in ramayan. He also had very good knowledge of astronomy. So this is most natural that he asks vishwakarma to build him an island on zero point on earth. He always wanted control over whole universe. It is stated that he kept sita away from himself at some place and only visited her sometimes. So may be she was kept in today's lanka. But ravan stayed away on his special island , made especially for him. Seems possible. ...just my speculation. Jyoti Dandekar.🙏🏻👍

Nilesh ji I am thoroughly confident now that Indus script encodes sanskrit language . We don't have any evidence of Avestan language in Iran before 2000 BCE ( all are elamite inscriptions ). At around 600 BCE avestan language which is very very close to Sanskrit appeared in Behistun inscription. That means it could have arrived there by 2000 BCE .
Can u elaborate more on this ?
@@sarveshOG Avestan language is close to Vedic Sanskrit. It arrived in Iranian plateau at around 2000 BCE for sure based on religious texts composition of Zend Avesta. All the personalities in Zend Avesta could easily be dated beyond 2000 BCE. There are some common figures between Zend Avesta and Rig Veda. Please do google search.

Just want to add one thing. In Andhrapradesh Many islands in Godavari River are called as Lanka.
May be lanka was used to call an island.
Yes may be but lanka shold be on the 0 ,0 axises as per the discription
@@berdenmayur I am talking about the word lanka not ravanas lanka.
Ok
sir i think i have found the answer. it is mt kunjara which is that equator on which there is a big building for agastya. why a sage needs a big house?And also 10 times the height than width. It is probably an observatory. It could be todays adhu city in maldives or something submerged under the sea but on the equator for sure. The reason adhu it has old traditions which wikipedia says dates to 2000BC sun faring settlers from Gujrath
@@joogledaily4937 Just tweet it to Mr. Nilesh Oak
The etymology of the word Lanka is "island". So, when one says Ravana's Lanka, it means Ravana's island(s). Could be referring to the small islands SW of southern tip of India like Mulan, Maafushi, Malé etc
Valmiki's Ramayana also suggests that Lanka was among a 'series of island nations (The islands around Maldives) and sunken mountains (Maldives was a huge mountain before it sunk'.
there is a branch of Tambrabharani river flowing in Kanyakumari district (Marthandam) and Mahendra mountain and Portion of Sanjeevani mountain fell in Kanyakumari district
Akanaṉūṟu
Akanaṉūṟu, which is dated between 1st century BCE and 2nd century CE, has a reference to the Ramayana in poem 70. The poem places a triumphant Rama at Dhanushkodi, sitting under a Banyan tree, involved in some secret discussions, when the birds are chirping away.[11]
Dhanushkodi is the starting point of Ram Setu Bridge.
looking forward....Its about time we unearth, present, and preserve our glorious factual past rather than refering to western malicious and prejudiced Indian history who ludricrously have insisting our sacred maha puranas as myths
Great work by Nilesh Sir and team! However, please help me understand (unless I missed the explanation) - Didn't Lord Rama build a Shivalinga in Rameshwaram which is to the south east of India before building the bridge? Why would Lord Rama go to South East all the way to build a bridge if it is not to Sri Lanka? OK assuming Ravana's Lanka is to the South West of India as propagated then which place did Lord Rama perform the Linga Pooja before building the bridge?
The place you go to in order to establish a Lingam and do a consecration depends not at all on conveniences and entirely on the will of the deity. The question you're asking is essentially obsolete when we appreciate our Dharma.
This person is gem of India
Very interesting information.
I am a Sri Lankan. I would like to know what Indian history says about Lord Buddha's time.
This video is just amazing 🙏👌
I am very interested in this because i am looking for the locations where legendary Kubera lived.
13:30 If Sri Lanka and India connected together at that time Lord Rama cannot leave from Rameshearam. He should leave from Hambantota port currently in Sri Lanka.?
Please Can you divide this video into 4 parts. . I love it. . It's too long in time's now.
By far the best study on dating ancient Indian History, itihasas Ramayan and Mahabharata timelines.
Are there any Kings from Lanka participated in Mahabharata Kurukshetra War
No.
Yes Mahbharat literally has a description of the island and its inhabitants. It mentions the Simhala fought on the side of the kaurvas. Read the Mahabharat.
Sadness is not when most of the people don’t know the truth, that is a problem which can be solved. Sadness is when, who know the truth manipulate it or hide it. Deny, Convince or CONFUSE
So what, endure it and work towards truth. The very thought of Truth Prevails is enough reason for getting motivated.
This is from my best knowledge: Sri Ram went Lanka following the trail from Seetha while being kidnapped. Ravana took her from Maharashtra. Took a straight line path down which includes [sabarimala, chadayamangalam places i know] etc. **Then he took her to Srilanka. Why I believe this is because there are a lot of evidences for example Ram Seethu, Sigiria , Ravana Cave, Rock etc are there. There is no other land mass which can steal it's title. Rise and Drop of water level on ocean can be rapid too.There were ice age following it. It's not 100 % accurate.
******
1. Is there any possibilities that Maldives could be First Lanka before Ravana acquire it from his brother kubera?
2. There's evidences that sahya mountains to be folded mountain. That means kerala is joined to main land. So there are possibilities of movements of Lanka.
But my belief is there was ocean between the Srilanka and India. When the government understood its historical importance they give it the original name.
I have a humble request. Your presentation is very strong, evident rich people will believe it true. What all things pointed out can be true. But don't point it until you find the correct one.
Don't point out until u have command over a subject or at least Sanskrit language🙏🙏
Great...
Hello all the researchers, just a lame suggestion:
can a parallel study of Iliad or odyssey help us.
Reason why- I heard in one of the Sattology talks that Ravana's controlled land stretched upto Europe and the plot of both poetries (Ramayana and Odyssey) have some commonalities. So might be that Homer might have added some hints to help us.
Can you please research about Jambu dweepa, Bharth kanda is called Jambu dweepa, so i am expecting a Pre Gondwana logic, so most possibly Ravana Lanka you are searching for could well be Africa or Medagascar, Move the Indian subcontinent out of Asian land or at least partally
Dear Dr. Niles N Oak,
As a scientist who adhered to "producing" physical results, I perfectly agree with your methodology and conclusions about chronology & geographic locations of Ayodhya, Kishkindha, and agree that if we follow Maharshi Valmiki, LANKA could not be the Sinhaldweep.
I would however still wonder about Kuber Shiv, & Ravan.
Also Mayavi-ness referred to again & again in our Granths . . . . . Could Lanka be a floating city at Equator ? ( 0,0 )
And, what could have happened in 2000-3000 years back ?

Sir you guys doing Good job 👍
Jai Sri Ram
waiting!
The "Ashoka vana" is still maintained by the Srilanka as a proof for Ravana's land and many proofs are still available in Srilanka. The palace of Ravana still exists on a mountain.
Wow Always curious about this stuff🙏🏻❤️👍🏼
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for ur research
Excellent talk yet again. Small question. I drew a line from Kurukshetra to Ujjain and extended it further south. It does not create a straight vertical but it passes exactly through the islands today known as Maldives and Maldives also lie on the equator. Also fits into the description of Lanka being towards South West. Maldives, a possible option?
We must take into consideration the fact that Ujjain temple was actually destroyed and rebuilt... I remember reading it a while ago. It could be possible that the original exact point of the line is lost during destruction and relocation of temple

How was Sugriva so knowledgeable on the world geography?
Mr.Nilesh Oak, I watch your videos with great interest. About Lanka I have some narrations to be made. I had gone to SriLanka in 2019. In Trikonmalee there are evidences of Ravana's presence there. Trikoneshwar temple where Ravana worshipped and how he wanted to uproot the temple and take it to his palace for his mother to have Shiva Darshan everyday. Other places too like hot water wells he made to conduct pithur shrardham for which his mother had to bathe.
The whole of todays SriLanka might have been Sinhala , ruled by some ruler and Ravana had his kingdom in and around Nuwara Eliya, Seetha Eliya etc which are in the middle of Sri Lanka. So Rama with his Wanara sena need not have gone through Jaffna, instead through the midwest of SriLanka which was surriunded by sea even when Jaffna was attached to India by land. Therefore Rama might have chosen to go through sea directly to Ravan's kingdom without bothering the Sinhala ruler.
When I was in Trikoneshwar temple one lady around 35 yrs came , she was extraordinarily beautiful, tall, fair and royal looking. She gave the Archana plate to the Guruji and told her name and her Gotram as Ravana Gotram. I was shocked because I never heard that Gotram's name before and it was like she was assuring that she is the "Descendant" of Ravana's family which ascertained her Royal look.
I believe strongly the present SriLanka is only the Lanka of Ravana. It was called as Lanka in Ramayana and we all used to call it Lanka in Tamil Nadu before it was changed to SriLanka. The Sinhalese changed it to SriLanka because the word Sri is wealth and Kubera is the God of wealth and Kubera was ruling over Lanka before Ravana. Hence they changed it to SrILanka.
Yes, even now SriLanka has a LOT of places- Temples, Geographical locations (including temples, caves, water bodies, mountain peaks) named after King Ravana. There are MANY legends surrounding King Ravana, in Sri Lanka. One is that the Sigiriya Rock fortress was Ravana's castle.
Yes there is a Seetha Amman Temple in Nuwareliya ( central hills).
I checked mahakal temple coordinates on google... It gives 75.7682 east... Sthaneshwar temple gives 76.827 east.. . Out of curiosity I checked other jyotirlinga temples.... Kedarnath, mallikarjun and rameshwaram are the only temples situated on a straight line... Coordinates difference less than one degree...
I remember reading that mahakal temple was destroyed and rebuilt. It can be that the original temple was moved.
This has happened with many of jyothirling temples... latest was kashi Vishvanath temple
Yes Sahedev met with Shri Vibhishan of Ramayan.. No other title
There is a bo tree and it is said to be the exact one that Sita sat under, when she was in Lanka
What about the evidences found in modern day Sri Lanka and also the Ramasetu.
Sir, Ramayana happened in Tretha yuga according to our ancient scripts. Seeing the duration of each yuga, it must have happened atleast 850 thousand years ago.
Nilesh Oak is a great researcher who should be supported by funds from BJP as it will bring the truth of Indian History. Bala
Lanka was actually between modern day malaysia and Australasia tectonic plate. There are islands between australia and indonesia called Langkawi.
Hanuman and other vanaras were from the south east asia belt (Tamil nad to malaysia/indonesia). Original kishkindha was here itself.
How do i know? I was alive at that time and ive had visions. Past life regressions
you are right coz distance between india's souther tip to ravana's lanka is 100 yojans which is all most 1200km and langkawi is also that much far from india.
By your pinpointing location of Ravan's Lanka, is it a fair conjecture to presume that Patala loka was South America, considering that supposed Makardhwaja statues are found there?
South America is not Patal lok
Nileshji has gone deep into the subject but it's become more confusing. I would suggest you to take a look into SUBARNAPUR town in present Odisha. It's on the bank of mahanadi river and resembles highly to the description of Subarna Lanka !! The spires and domes of temples and palace is a complete resemblance to Lanka. Apart from this, the local folklore suggest that this place is the original Lanka. However, we want your views, as well 🙏
Sashti is a taluka or tehsil in North Goa district. It means saha sashti or 66 villages
It could be possible that they turned east while climbing down the mountains ⛰ thinking the went south direction but they actually went east (south east) side. Then built Rama's bridges by nala and neela bcs it was built with the purpose of crossing the rama's army as sugreev being a general in Rama's vanara army.
Sir, keep it up ..
Sir can we locate where neel architecture the bridge over sea that help sena march to lanka
Sir, I thoroughly believe that Indus script is Sanskrit. Please also speak on it when you have some time .
As per my knowledge Sanskrit is a language with no script. In vedic period Brahmi script used as we now use Hindi to write Sanskrit
@@jjagasetty2413 Rubbish, Since Sanskrit was the oldest language in India, people developed Indus script, Brahmi Script and devanagari script to write Sanskrit. Infact Hindi is written in Sanskrit script not the other way around. Get some good education instead of making cheap comments.
views of Mr Ravi on this subject
Dr Nilesh, have you noticed in Google earth map around Cochin Kerala there is a low lying island feature. Would this be of any interest from the perspective of Lanka of RAmAyan? Just curious. Other question was about Adithya Hridayam which is part of VAlimiki RAmAyan, sage Agasthya was present during the war between Ram and Ravan.Sage Agasthya's Ashram seem to be on the southern regions of western ghats. Are these two pieces of info of any use in the search of actual Lanka?
It is shame that on this video there are only few views
The Indian Ocean Geoid low are where there extraordinary gravitational pull seems to be the same area mentioned here on the equator and the longitude passing through Ujjain and Lanka. Any research on that direction?
Ravana's Lanka could've been a part of Kumari kandam which might've situated in the down south of the Indian ocean more than 1,200 kms away from the main land of Southern India. The arts we see of Kumari kandam today was just an assumption.
Maybe Kumari kandam was linked with Madagascar and Australia but was not attached with the southern tip of India as it is shown today.
The easiest thing to measure in terms of geography is the latitude. You just hang a weight on a piece of string and measure the distance of the shadow cast by the top of the string from the weight at the bottom. It is not possible for anyone to mistake Lanka being on the equator. Therefore if Lanka was at the equator, it cannot be in Sri Lanka, or India. The only possible location is somewhere in Indonesia, and Indonesia does have extensive ancient trade links with India and Indian colonies and culture.
There was mention of Indonesia in ramayna in discription of sugrive during serch of sita so obviously Indonesia is not the lanka also ravnan gather in law is from maya dwip that os indoneshia who wrote the surya sindhanta
@@berdenmayur
That argument carries no weight. Indonesia was never one country at that time, but many kingdoms, and the kingdoms were continually changing, and it was not called Indonesia at that time. The fact that one kingdom in Indonesia was mentioned does not mean that Lanka did not exist as another kingdom somewhere else in present day Indonesia. The equator cuts through the islands of Sumatra, Borneo, Sulawesi, and many significantly sized islands between Sulawesi and New Guinea, and these were never under unified rule until the 20th century, so there is plenty of different kingdoms that could be Lanka. The only think linking Sri Lanka to Ravena's Lanka is the fact that Adam's bridge in the Palk straight sounds like the causeway that was mentioned. However this could equally well be somewhere in Indonesia given the number of islands present there.
@@pisquared1827 yes that's the point yes Indonesia was not the country that time they said it Mayapuri of mayasur and it was part of India after ruled by pandyas kings now pls don't ask for proof because it was written in the all puranas and also you don't have proof for your claim also some south african arciologist found Hindu temples under the shore of Madagascar and diago Garcia that dose means it was a part of hindu civilization that dosent mean they spking tamil language. May be they are spiking other languages the other form of Sanskrit just like in dekhan you will find a pakrit language in the temaples build by calukyas ,rastrakutas,satvahnas and yadvas.
@@berdenmayur
The only location that fits the distance from the Indian mainland of about 1213 km and be on the equator is western Sumatraen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanka Sri Lanka is only 20 miles off the Indian mainland and not on the equator. Those two facts could not be mistaken. As I said before, all you need to check if you are on the equator is a weight and a piece of string. If you make a pendulum with those and if the shadow cast is vertically below the string, you are on the equator - impossible to get wrong. Indonesia was also part of a major sea trade route with India, and many Indian ruling dynasties married into Indonesian royalty in order to further trade ambitions - for example one of the rulers of a kingdom in Kerala was an Indonesian prince who was invited to rule in the Indian kingdom because he was the heir to the throne due to intermarriage with an Indonesian ruler. The Koreans also trace their ancestry to an Indian princess. These royal betrothals are precisely the sort of thing that can lead to conflicts like in the Ramayana or the Greek epic the Illiad, where rivals to the throne may claim that the person they claim should be betrothed to them (for political gain) has been kidnapped. Having said that, this intermarriage also took place with Sri Lanka, where the royal family and court language was Kalingan, Cholan, Cheran, or Pandyan, for most of its history.
It is not about any anchestery or religion its about true history we want to find there in surya sidhanata also wrote lanka is on eirth equator .
For the last question asked ..Ravana also using vimanas for conquering the world..as he abducted Sita ma in his vimanas
Hi. I have a few questions:
You mentioned there is a possibility of Ceylon and actual Lanka be different, and separated by several hundreds of kilometres…
Now how are we addressing these questions:
1. What about Palk Strait which is believed to be Ram Setu since long. If thats not Ram Setu, dont we have description of length of Ramsetu in Valmiki Ramayana, that can corroborate with the distance to Niruksha Lanka?
2. What about landmarks of historical references in Ceylon, like Ella and Nuwara Elliya, Ravana falls, dronagiri reference etc.
3. You mentioned Niruksha Lanka would be bigger, not a small landmass that could have been a subset of Maldives.. wont that make it more closer to Ceylon or actually attached to Ceylon itself. Only 0-0 long lattes passing through it like through Avanti in Indian landmass? Simhaldeepa, even if reference separate from Lanka, could be outskirts of the same landmass?
4. During Ramayan, astronomy suggests north america and europe under soft ice age due to their positioning on north pole vs actual artic today. Similarly, should not be the position of Niruksha Lanka could be different from what we are looking at from prime meridian perspective?
5. We have written text on Sugriva asking to go SW from stern ghats or Mahendra parvat, but Rameshwaram is on eastern side. How that can be linked? Would they have taken a detour only to establish a temple?
May I know in what is the source of statement (5). Thanks
Rightly said, names of persons and places are reused. The latest example is Amravati used as new capital of Andhra Pradesh.
I am not comfortable when it is said Rama had vanar sena or Hanuman and Sugreeva are monkeys.
There are surnames like makkad that doesn't mean he is a monkey. In a similar sense vanar could be a surname and not necessarily literal monkey.
There are several examples wherein the surnames are based on a bird or an animal. My close relatives surname is Kaki, which means crow in Telugu.
Also, I very well understand that yugas have several definitions and timelines. But if you notice in the sankalp mantra the year mentioned goes into lakhs. It can be true too because earth is not few thousand years old, it is billions of years old, so the yuga timeline of 432000 years for kalyuga could be right too.
You should follow the morden research of yugas .also vanras was humans who are living in forest also ther wearing the monkey face and monkeys tell it'sention in (Valmiki)ramayna the concept of vanras as monkeys become femous after Kalidasa ramayna also lots of mis conception are emmerge after Kalidasa Rayna .
Sir, Vibhishan is one of the Chiranjivis, So, its the same Vibhishan mentioned in Mahabharata that we have in Ramayan as well
Any connection between the myth of Kumari kandam the land mass south of the current peninsula, associated with lord Subramanyan, with the location of Lanka in Ramayana ?
what about kumarikandam?
Unlike the Northern Hemisphere, the Hemisphere currently doesn't a bright . There's not even a moderately bright , like our Polaris, to mark the celestial
In Mangalore, west coast of Karnataka, bordering Kerala. We have Sita Bhavi. That's Sita's well. So it proves rama came westwards....
Thank you for the talk. One person asked why ravana did not built a bridge.
Looking at the script by valmiki on rama building a bridge.
Why a.bridge and not a navy armada.
Secondly. Ravana is a brilliant ruler. Why he did not destroy the bridge during the contruction. Why he alliwd the rama to enter into.lanka with the army.
There must be a subtle reason for valmiki to write the story in this manner. Is there a hidden reason for this
