Earliest hominids in India 100,000 500,000 B.C. 127,000 100,000 B.C. Homo-Sapiens migrate into Asia 133,000 10000 B.C. Dravida Nadu - Dravidian Nation Between 10,000 and 4,000 B.C. (before Aryan migration), India was primarily populated by the Dravidians (Mediterraneans). We're 133,050 9000 B.C. starting to find clues to their dominance in early history by analyzing linguistic patterns of peoples (Brahui) that use a gutteral language related to Tamil. (Aryans were of white caucasian race and Dravidians were of dark caucasian race.) 133,100 8000 B.C. Naveli Cori 133,150 7000 B.C. First Major Indian city - Mergarh 133,200 6000 B.C. Saraswati Cities Pre-Dynastic Era Although we do not have much evidence to prove the validity of the Pre-Dynastic lineage (other than what is documented in the Puranas), we also do NOT have any sure way to conclusively disprove it.

There is no difference of opinion among scholars that the original habitat of the peacock is India，or more pre­ cisely Southern India. We have the authority of the Bible* to show that the peacock was one of the Commodities5 that India exported to the Holy Land in ancient times. This splendid bird had reached Athens by 450 B.C. and had been kept in the island of Samos earlier still. The peacock bridged the cultural gap between the Aryans who were * I Kings 10:22 For the king had at sea a navy of Thar，-shish with the navy of Hiram: once in three years came the navy of Thar’-shish bringing gold, and silver，ivory, and apes，and peacocks.

A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE FACULTY in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ARCHITECTURE By Ramya Palani Norman, Oklahoma 2019 IS GANGAIKONDA CHOLAPURAM BUILT BASED ON VAASTU SASTRA? A THESIS APPROVED FOR THE CHRISTOPHER C. GIBBS COLLEGE OF ARCHITECTURE BY THE COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF Callahan, Marjorie P., Chair Warnken, Charles G. Fithian, Lee A. ©Copyright by RAMYA PALANI 2019 All Rights Reserved. iv Abstract The Cholas (848 CE – 1279 CE) established an imperial line and united a large portion of what is now South India under their rule. The Cholas, known worldwide for their bronze sculptures, world heritage temples and land reforms, were also able builders. They followed a traditional systematic approach called Vaastu Sastra in building their cities, towns, and villages. In an attempt to discover and reconstruct Gangaikonda Cholapuram, an administrative capital (metropolis) of the Chola Dynasty, evidence is collected from the fragments of living inscriptions, epigraphs, archaeological excavation, secondary sources, and other sources pertinent to Vaastu Sastra. The research combines archival research methodology, archaeological documentation and informal architectural survey. The consolidation, analysis, and manipulation of data helps to uncover the urban infrastructure of Gangaikonda Cholapuram city.

  • 9 Ever Remember the Name of Rama
    103 9 Ever Remember The Name Of Rama HOUSANDS of years have passed since the Tadvent of Treta Yuga, yet even now everyone, right from children to elderly people, remember the name of Rama. The glory of Rama’s name is such that it has not diminished even a bit with the passage of time. This truth should be recognised by all. Rama is the name given to a form, but the name of Rama is not limited to a form. Atma is Rama, and its true name is Atmarama. Therefore, wherever and whenever you remember the name of Rama, Rama is there with you, in you, around you. The Name Of Rama Is Eternal Embodiments of Love! Rama is one, whether you identify him with the 104 SATHYA SAI SPEAKS, Volume 40 atma or with the form installed in your heart. Every year comes the festival of Sri Rama Navami. But we have not so far understood its true significance. You identify Rama with a form. But Rama is not limited to any particular form. It is the name that is latent in your heart. Many changes and variations keep occurring in the world, but the name of Rama is immutable, eternal, unsullied and everlasting. Rama was not an ordinary individual. He was verily God who incarnated on earth for the welfare of mankind. People call God by many names like Rama, Krishna, Easwara and Mahadeva. They are all the names of one God. You should recognise the glory of this name. Sage Vasishta said, “Ramo vigrahavan Dharma” (Rama is the personification of Dharma).
