Sri Rama / Sri Hanumanjis Sethu:
As per Sage Valmikis Ramayana [Yuddha Kanda]
and Comment from Hugh Joseph [10-12-02]
Nara-devatvam apannah Sura-karya-cikirsay
Samudra-nigrahadini Cakre viryany atah param
"When those simian troops had passed over the
sea by the grace of Nala's causeway, the king
Ordered them to camp on the shore which
abounded in roots, fruits and water.
Valmiki Ramayana (Yuddha Kanda)
NOTE:
1. The monkeys mentioned here ascomprising Rama's army, were notordinary monkeys. They were infact greatly powerful demigodswho appeared on this earth toassist the Lord in his pastime ofsubduing this atheistic demon,
Ravana.2. There are 4 ages, or yugas,
rotating through time like the 4seasons: Satya, 1,728,000 yrs.long; Treta 1,296,000 yrs. long;Dwapar 864,000 yrs. long and Kali,432,000 years long.
Here's the account from the "Ramayana" of Sage Valmiki:
At Rama's command, those lions among the monkeys entered themighty forest with alacrity in hundreds and thousands on everyside and those leaders on the simian tribes, tearing up therocks, which in size they resembled, and the trees alsodragged them to the sea and they covered the ocean withSala, Ashvararna, (list of tree names).Those foremostmonkeys transported those trees, with or without roots,
bearing them like so many standards of Indra (the king ofheaven) and they heaped (list of tree names) here andthere. With the aid of mechanical devices, those powerfulcolossi dug up stones as big as elephants and rocks, andthe water suddenly spouted into the air only to fallinstantly. Thereafter those monkeys churned up the seaby rushing into it on all sides pulling on the chains.
Babandh Sagare Sethum NalooVaanarasathamaha.
Nala (the chief architect/Engineer of the bridge) in five
Days completed the constructionOf the bund (bridge) extendingUp to Lanka.

Sri Rama / Hanumanjis Sethu: as per Srimad-Bhagavatam
[Sri Prabhupada, 1st Canto, Ch. 3, Text 24, 1972]
and Comment from Hugh Joseph [10-12-02]
That immense causeway constructed by Nala inthe bosom of the sea was built by the arms of
those monkeys of formidable exploits and itextended over a hundred leagues.
Some brought trunks of trees and others setthem up; it was by hundreds and thousandsthat those monkeys, like unto giants, made useof reeds, logs and blossoming trees to constructthat bridge, rushing hither and thither withblocks of stone resembling mountains or the
peaks of crags, which, flung into the sea, fellwith a resounding crash.
The first day those monkeys resemblingelephants, or immense energy, full of highspirits and exceedingly merry, erected fourteenleagues of masonry. The second day, thosehighly active monkeys of formidable stature setup twenty leagues. Bestirring themselves, those
giants threw twenty-one leagues of structureover the ocean on the third day and on thefourth, working feverishly, they built up twenty-two leagues in extent. The fifth day, thosemonkeys, industrious workers, reached totwenty-three leagues distance from the furthershore.
That fortunate and valiant son of Vishvakarma(architect of the demigods), leader of the
monkeys, constructed a causeway worthy ofhis sire over the ocean and that bridgeerected by Nala over the sea, the haunt ofwhales, dazzling in its perfection andsplendour, was like the constellation of Swathiin space. So difficult of construction, that wasten leagues in width and a hundred in lengthbuilt by Nala.
Those monkeys thereafter dived, swam andshouted at the sight of that unimaginablemarvel that was almost inconceivable andcaused one to tremble! And all beings beheldthat causeway thrown over the ocean and byhundreds and thousands of kotis (millions),those monkeys, full of valor, having built that
bridge over the immense repository of waters,reached the opposite shore. "Vast, well-constructed, magnificent with its wonderfulpaved floor, solidly cemented, that greatcauseway like unto a line traced on the waves,resembled the parting of a woman's hair.

Sri Ramas Date of Birth: as per Janma-Kundali
and PlanetsConfiguration / Cosmology
For Example:
Pushkar Bhatnagar starts with tracing Rama's birth. Then he moves ahead in
the narrative. Valmiki Ramayana states Rama was 25-years-old when he wentto exile. When the planets configuration described at this point is fed into thesoftware, the date thrown up matches perfectly with Rama's age at thatjuncture of his life: 25 years.
Again in the 13th year of Rama's exile, during a war with Kara and Dustan,Valmiki describes a solar eclipse. The software proves that on that givenday there was indeed a solar eclipse (with Mars in the middle). This
solar eclipse and the particular planets configuration could be seenfrom Panchavati (longitude and latitude plainly shown in the software).
NOTE:The presence of Ramayana, Mahabharata and Vedas cannot be explained by the short period between thedecline of the Indus valley civilization and the Rig Vedic period. A civilization cannot suddenly burst intoadvanced writing
Many Researchers have Scientifically investigated more than
Just Rama's Date of Birth; The results have not just thrown upSri Rama's date of birth, but it has actually traced the entire
sequence of incidents throughout Ramayana.

Hanuman saw eight constellations while flying to Lanka
[Sundara Kanda, Ramayana, Sage Valmiki]:Describes Hanuman crossing the sea and returning from Lanka to Rameshwaram. TheSage gives details of Eight (8) Constellations [Usually, one can see not more than6 constellations at a given point of time. But since Hanuman was flying across, andit must have taken him approximately 4 hrs to get there, he could see 8 constellations- in two hours one constellation would have moved out of sight and anotherbecome visible. So, in a period of 4 hrs he saw 8 constellations!
Historicizing Sri Ram: Man or GodSri Rama walked the earth in flesh and blood [Difference between Sage Valmiki Ramayana& Sant Tulsi Ramayana - Sant Tulsidas looked up to Sri Rama, But Sage Valmiki was acontemporary, has written Ram's life-history, as a biographer does - he's a contemporaryof Ram.
There's been a very strange development in the media and the people of India: We have started
seeing ancient India as something equivalent to the word 'Hindu'. The very word Hindu came into circulationonly after the advent of Islam in India. In Ramayana and the Vedas, there is no mention of the word'Hindu'. At the most, there is only mention of terms like 'Aryavrat or 'Bharatvarsh' and residents here arecalled as 'Aryans'. For centuries, Christians, Muslims, Sikhs have been living in this country and it's theirland as much as it is to a Hindu. Anything that has happened on this land in the past is their commonheritage. But, unfortunately, politicians with vested interests have divided the people on artificial religiouslines and making it appear that anything related to ancient India was perhaps related to Hindu, which is notthe case and should not be the case.

Ancient-Bridge = Adams Bridge = Sri Rama Sethu
Sri Rama Sethu causeway must
have been a major engineering feat
for its thin trace is still so clearly
visible on the present day satellite
images.
It has resisted the relentless erosion
of the sea for millions of years and it
attests to the great engineering skills
of the ancient Indian people.
It is the earliest and largest carbon-
fibre reinforced civil engineering
structure known to man and should
be protected as a world heritage site.

"This photograph from an altitude of
410 miles encompasses all of India,an area of 12,50,000 square miles,"
GEORGE M. LOW, then the Deputy
Director, Manned Spacecraft Center,
NASA, notes. "Bombay is on the west
coast, directly left of the spacecraft's
can-shaped antenna New Delhi is justbelow the horizon near the upper left.
Adam's Bridge between India and
Ceylon, at the right, is clearly visible.
A cloudless region surrounds the
entire subcontinent."Vande Bhaarata Maataram

The bridge's unique curvature andcomposition by age revealed that thefirst signs of human inhabitants in SriLanka date back to about 17,50,000years ago and the bridge's age is alsoalmost equivalent.
The historic bridge was built by Vanaraarchitect Nala without using any tools,and is believed to be the most ancient,longest and widest bridge in the world,built in shortest time, just in 5 daysover the turbulent seas across ancient
India and Lanka.

Bridge is made of
chain of shoals,18 mile (30 km) long.
The remains of bridgeare one of the most
important archaeological
evidences available.
Efforts are required to
retrieve/salvage the bridgeor whatever are remains of it.Naturally, experts are worriedthat the Sethusamudram canalproject may destroy whateverthat may remain of the bridge.

Further, apart from the bridgeitself, there are several otherhistoric and religious artifactsin the area that may bedisturbed during the dredgingup the process for the canal.
One of the Strategic concerns:is the Safety & Security of
Koodankulam Power Station,not far from the SSCP site, is
scheduled to produce over40% of Nuclear Fuel in India
in next 5 years

Ship Canal Project (SSCP)
Links Southeastern coast of India, Palk
Bay & the Gulf of Mannar Initiated after being cleared by the
Indian Environment Ministry and Cabinet
Committee
Economically and Environmentally
sensitive & used for regional shipping.
The canal will save 20 hr. of ship journey
and considerable amount of fuel.
This 360 km long and 300 m wide
shipping canal will provide a
continuous navigable route.It will Cut through Adams Bridge [Sri Rama Sethu] May be about
400 Meters wide (with Lining; >900m if two-way traffic is needed?);
A natural chain of shoals to avoid circumnavigating Sri Lanka; The proposed
canal will pass 20 km away from the Shingle Island and 6 km from the Van TivuIsland.

Ship Canal Project (SSCP)
Busy Continuous Navigation in this region will offset andtrigger devastating
ecological imbalance. Palk Bay is already on the verge of Jivnikhtanam, a
process that will entomb/endanger marine organisms.Affects lives of millions
of fishermen and many endangered organisms(fishes, coral reefs, sea
horses, algae and other marine plant) in subtropical, shallow Gulf of Mannar.
Study of geological, biological, physical and chemical oceanographic
parameters is essential.
Second Highest Marine Biodiversity
on the Earth will be Destroyed for ever.
According to one estimate, SSCP dredging
may displace around 9.7 million m3 bulk
of rock, shoal and sediments, making the
water column highly turbid till the projectis completed. Turbidity (suspension of clay
and mud in water column) is one such
factor. This could be fatal to an ecosystem.

CONCLUSIONS
Sri Rama Date of Birth, as per Janma-Kundali,
with corresponding Planets Configuration
(Cosmological Parameters) are surprisingly leading
to same conclusions.
Sri Rama Sethu related arguments are now morethan ever re-affirmed by re-discoveries from the
USA-NASA Digital Image Analysis stretching from
Gemini XI to ISS Expeditions and as well as other
foreign Space Missions.
Sethusamudram Ship Canal Project (SSCP) may
damage part of the Sri Rama Sethu remnants for sure.
