RE:this project is good for modern Dhrutarashtra - karunanidhi & co by Nanchil on Jan 23, 2008 10:34 AM This project is also good for modern rakshasas: hindutva forces. They have got a chance to utilize this project to spread hatred and frenzy among hindus only to get some votes.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by Fried Yakov on Jan 23, 2008 01:28 AM Dear Madam, Your words bring joy to my heart as I have rarely seen a Muslim who respects others faith. May your tribe increase and end the senseless mayhem in this world. I wish you Godspeed.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by JGN on Jan 22, 2008 06:32 PM Dear Rehana, there is no proof that Ram existed. The story of his birth cannot be true (like that of Jesus Christ). Even if he existed, he was a Noble King. The author gave him a larger than life image and made almost a model person. However as a mark of tolerance, let the hindus believe in him (just like the followers believing in their respective gods or prophets)rather than abusing their faith. Apart from faith, the Project is technically and economically viable. The same will benefit only the dredging companies and those who can get kick-back!!!!    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by Demo-crazy on Jan 22, 2008 07:43 PM JGN, just to mention couple of points. 1. Rama was called Maryada Purushottam - the best among human beings, as known to those at that time, based on his principles of fairness, bravery, etc. 2. Krishna also existed. The excavations in Bet Dwaraka show the submerged Dwaraka City. In Hinduism, we have the pratice of defining a role model - anyone who has achieved something that is beyond the capability of a large mass of people, is deified (or demonized based on whether it is good or evil act). If we can call Shirdi Sai Baba or Puttaparti Sai Baba, as an incarnation of God and worship him, why not Rama or Krishna.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by JGN on Jan 22, 2008 08:22 PM Dear Demo-crazy, I have not told that they should not be worshipped. Let the believers worhsip him. I have no quarrel. Though I do not believe in any god, I do have respect for the sentiments of the believers. Btw I do not consider Shirdi Sai Baba or Puttaparti Sai Baba as incarnations of God. According to world renowned Rationalist, Puttaparti Sai Baba was a juggler. ( Btw I have some respect for him only out of numerous godman/godwoman in our country for the Water Supply Project and Hospitals he had constructed)    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by Demo-crazy on Jan 22, 2008 10:23 PM JGN, we have no objections to anybody being atheist. Charvaka, a sage, was an atheist. Still he is respected and his views are revered. That is the real strength of Hinduism. There are many who saints who are serious on the social upliftment. Many have initiated projects in healthcare, education, running orphanages, etc. These kind of services are also service to God. So, when a person rises above the average scale, does something extraordinary, he or she is considered God. I have no problem with that thought process. There are many things that science has not been able to explain. So, there is something beyond the visible, beyond normal mechanisms of generally known laws of science. An open mind will always try to search for the truth. That is a journey we all should undertake or at least be aware of. However, let me tell you that I liked your comments. For all those researchers on the net. A bit of advice - there is much more beyond search engines. We should make an effort to read some quality books.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Ram is our ancestor also. by rediff reader on Jan 23, 2008 03:18 AM Dear JGN, Maybe you do not believe that Jesus is divine. However there is more than enough proof that He existed. You might not accept the biblical proof. So check out other historical facts. There is more than enough evidence outside the bible(Roman historians, Jewish historians like Josephus who lived in the first cenury, Talmud) Overwhelming Evidence that 1. He existed 2. He was crucified by Romans 3. His followers believed that He rose again. They were willing to stick to this belief even when threatened with death. If God is who he claims to be, supernatural things like resurrection / virgin birth or creation should not be impossible for Him. I will be suspicious If God cannot resurrect a dead person / do supernatural things. Should He not demo His power over everything ..even death for me to trust HIm? For someone to claim to be God - He shd have full power over life and death.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:who knows it was made by Ram by Himanshu Upadhyaya on Jan 22, 2008 06:13 PM it has already been proven that it is more then a million years ago by carbon dating and also by many other dating technologies. all in all, it is not just 5000 years old at the least. hense its proven that it is not man made. i even does not support the existance of ram.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:who knows it was made by Ram by on Jan 22, 2008 06:56 PM Ram sena is not supposed to have created the rocks. They just brought the rocks and put it in a formation to make bridge like structure to cross over. Carbon dating can only say about date of the formation of the rocks. But it can not say any thing about shifting of rocks. If someone gets a 200000 year old rock and put it in his house wall, his house does not become that old.    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:who knows it was made by Ram by sitaram sakthi on Jan 22, 2008 06:21 PM By the way as vivekanada said hinduism is not based on any central authority, ram, krishna and many others are just those who uphold the vedas( which is actually the basis of hinduism..).. if you disprove the existence of jesus --christianity fades... if one disproves the existence of mohammed-islam fails... if one disproves the existence of zoraster or any other religious prophets.. that religion fails... but that is not the case with hinduism... even if u believe in ram or not hinduism is based on vedas which is considered to be Apaurusheyatva which means it is of divine origin...    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Why rightwing opposes this project? by sitaram sakthi on Jan 22, 2008 05:54 PM how can you prove what all you have said about rama is true... rama did construct the bridge with the help of monkey totem vanaras to invade srilanka and by the way who is the adam?? do you think whole humanity is sinned and need to be saved by only true god, because that guy ate an forbidden apple... idiotic stories??    Forward   |   Report abuse
RE:Why rightwing opposes this project? by JGN on Jan 22, 2008 06:34 PM Dear sitaram sakthi, when we question the story of Jesus' birth, why can't we question the story of Ram's birth also? Hope you are aware of that.    Forward   |   Report abuse

RE:Why rightwing opposes this project? by Demo-crazy on Jan 22, 2008 05:56 PM Could you please share some information on the sources you referred to. If Ram did not exist, then you can also safely negate the existence of Allah, Jesus, etc. Dum hai kya? Why no one dares to make such comments against Islam or Christianity? Because of swift response from fanatic who does not mind dying, when they attempt killing any opponent?    Forward   |   Report abuse
