11,000 years

[AndhraPickles]

Some say Rama ruled for 11,000 years.

Rama went in exile when He was 25 years old. He returned to Ayodhya and was coronated when 39. After ruling for 30 years and 6 months post his coronation, when He was about 70 years old, Rama relinquished the kingdom.

 

dasha varsha sahasraani dasha varsha shataani ca |
raamo raajyam upaasitvaa brahma lokam prayaasyati ||
Ramayana – 1-1-97 1

 

It translates into: “After being in service of His kingdom for ten thousand years and another one thousand years, (i.e. 11000 years in total), Rama undertook His journey to the abode of Brahma… “

But Rama was said to have existed only 7,100 years ago in 5100 BCE. How do we reconcile the two?

This answer comes from the other epic, the Mahabharata.

“ahorātraṃ mahārāja tulyaṃ saṃvatsareṃa hi”
Mahabharata, verse 3-49-21

Meaning, for a Maharaja, a person who lives in accordance with dharma, a day is equivalent to a year. Taking the year to consist of 360 days and 12 months of 30 days each, 11,000 years in poetic form, gives us 30 years and 6 months as the number of actual years that Rama ruled over Ayodhya.

as per our Puranas how many days equals to a year.. ?

Puranalalo vunna years calculation is different from current year calculation. Kalki lo 6k years annaru that is based on current calculation  but as per puranalu it is 4lakhs plus years..don't get confused

Years in puranas with modern calendar are just 2 to 3 weeks different

but, the main thing is who told you when mahabharata happened?

Aithe 2922 years ago Mahabharat jarigindhi antav??

pity you

still its wrong calculations based on the samvathsara they are checking… in the script it is clearly mentioned geetha was told at the start of kaliyuga

so kaliyugam start ayyi 2922 yrs ayindhi antav

krishna was born in dwapara yuga so dwapara yugam some where rough ga 3000 years ago antav

modern day calculation and reading the yrs from ancient script is clearly wrong

current 2024 AD + 3102 BC = 5000 years ago...but my calculations may not be exact..may be +/- years...there used to be kaliyuga year number in telugu panchangam which I remember to be 5000 years....

 

The Kali Yuga began when Lord Krishna left the world. Maharshi Vedavyasa describes this event with the words “Yesmin Krishno divamvyataha, Tasmat eeva pratipannam Kaliyugam“. Kali Yuga began on February 17 or 18, at midnight, in 3102 BCE...

Exactly

so the time period of dwapara yuga is 720000 yrs

So what made you think Rama was born 7100 yrs ago

as the time period of dwapara yuga itself is 720000 yrs and adding these 5000 yrs to calculate Threatha yuga

In which rama was born

everything is clear no?

Each Yuga Cycle lasts for 4,320,000 years (12,000 divine years) with aggregation of

its four yugas:

Krita (Satya) Yuga for 1,728,000 (4,800 divine) years,

Treta Yuga for 1,296,000 (3,600 divine) years,

Dvapara Yuga for 8,64,000 (2,400 divine) years,

and Kali Yuga for 4,32,000 (1,200 divine) years...

inni lakshala years unna cyclical time period lo evaru ye point lo puttaaru ani clear ga cheppalem.....

but considering the below sloka..

“Kruthethu Naarasimho Bhoo Trethayaam Raghunandana

Dwapare Vasudevascha Kalau Venkatanayaka!” ||

Translation: In Kritha Yuga, Lord Narasimha, In Treta Yuga Lord Sri Rama, In Dwapara Yuga Lord Sri Krishna, and in Kaliyuga Lord Sri Venkateswara are called as Prathyaksha Dhaivams (Deities)...

 

..and manaku unna solar information (as posted in earlier links in this thread) valla we can get a rough estimate of one's lifetime...

at Sametime.. we should also be aware of that there are multiple episodes of ramayana and mahabharatha happened in different kalpa..as below..

Yes

clearly Rama ruled for 11000 yrs

The sloka in Mahabharat you pasted in the first post said about a king who was ruled one day with dharma is equivalant to a year is just a way of saying how it felt to e under a ruler who follows dharma

it might be a saying like I waited for 3 minutes which felt like 3 yrs… we dont have to take that as a literal statement and judge how long rama ruled
