<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Shri Rama's Date of Birth
Now we shall proceed with the astral route. Valmiki records the
birth of Rama as Chaitra Shuddha Navami (9th), on Punarvasu
Nakshatra and five plants were exalted then; Sun in Mesha upto 10
deg., Mars in Capricorn at 28 deg., Jupiter in Cancer at 5 deg.,
Venus in Pisces at 27 deg. and Saturn in Libra at 20 deg. (Bala
Kanda.18/Shloka 8,9).
Ayodhya 4/18 states that Sun, Mars and Rahu were at Dasharatha's
nakshatra. It was the month of Chaitra, so the Sun was in Revati,
Ashwini or Bharani. Naturally, either Rahu and Ketu was in any one
of these nakshatra (Rahu and Ketu are diagonally opposite).
The planetary positions on 16th October 5561 B.C., the date of
commencement of the Mahabharat War, have been calculated and known
[Dating of the Mahabharat, by Dr. P.V. Vartak]. Therefore,
calculating further backwards for the astral combination noted
above, the date concludes to be 4th December 7323 B.C. On this date,
Saturn was at 205 deg., Jupiter at 94 deg., Mars between 283 and 298
deg., Rahu at 179 deg. and Sun at 2 degrees. 4th Dec. 7323 therefore
is the date of birth of Rama, when the aforementioned 4 planets
exalted. Venus is always within 47 degrees from the Sun, and might
be in Pisces in an exalted state. Thus Rama's date is confirmed.
