Shyamasundara das is wrong about the location of Sri Lanka not being Ravanas kingdom

[Paramananda das]

dear Devotees

Please accept my humble obaisences

All glories to Srila Prabhupada

 Shyamasundara Prabhu has written an article:

http://www.salagram.net/rama9.htm#Lanka

He states that Sri Lanka was not the place of Ravana but much further north this is really crazy, then Lord Ramachandra made a mistake

building the Ramasetu ,(Bridge of Lord Rama at Ramesvaram)

Srila Prabhupada has also confirmed Lanka as this place in the CC and the authenticity of Ramesvaram in CC.

There is a most interesting website about the many holy places related with Ramayana in Sri Lanka

http://www.tourslanka.com/ramayana-sri-lanka.php

with a most inspiring yourtube video about the places of Lord Ramachandras lilas in Sri Lanka.Of course the Rama Setu very clearly goes

from Ramesvaram to Sri Lanka and is proven  by NASA pictures, the remains of that bridge is clearly there.We have personally

witnessed some stones from the Rama setu that floats on water in Ramesvaram, in 1985 while being on Padayatra there.

I hope this helps clear up any misconception about this.

Happy Ramanavami, and sorry Shyamasundara Prabhu you are wrong on this one ....

PS Another misconception some have is that Lord Ramachandra did not appear in this Treta yuga this is also a misconception

as Narasimha Purana has confirmed that Lord Narasimha appeared in Satya, and Lord Ramachandra in Treta yuga.

dear Shymasundara das

PAMHO

AGTSP

Actually you are not only wrong about the location of Sri Lanka, but also about Ahovalam.

I have already shown Hari Sauri Srila PRabhupadas quote in the CC about Sri Lanka, there is much sastric prove that Sri Lanka

is the actual place.Where do we find it will require research in Puranas such as Skanda Purana.Sri Lanka is accepted by the SriVaisnavas also and there is many holy places related to Lord Ramachandra and Sita in Sri Lanka, and also.

It is really like if someone would doubt that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, or Lord Ramachandra was appearing in Ayodhya.

If you read my article carefully and look at the links it should take out most of your ignorance in this matter.Unless you have

no faith in Lord Ramachandra and what is accepted by all acaryas for millions of years ,ask any Sri Vaisnava since you spend time 

in South India.

 As for Ahovalam, Srila PRabhupada confirmed to Yasomatinandana (former sannyasi) that Ahovalam is where Lord Narasimha

appeared it is there in conversations.But some devotee speculated this may not be so.However this is confirmed in Skanda Puranaand other places.

Narasimha Purana etc to be the actual place.Hiranykasipus palace was in Ahovalam, Prahlada was born in Kashmir as SrilaPrabhupada has also mentioned in the CC (the part which is now modern Pakistan).

Lord Ramachandra has even left a clue that the Ramasetu goes from Ramesvaram to Sri Lanka, so to me this is some atheistic doubt

that should not be in your heart.

All acayras and Srila Prabhupada included have accepted Ahovalam also  the place where Lord Narasimha apperared,ask also any  Sri Vaisnava acarya and shcolar from the Madhavacarya line in Udupi, they will laugh at your childish ignorance.

http://krishna.org/nasa-images-discover-ancient-bridge-between-indi...

http://www.gauranga.org/ramayana_bridge.htm

What is going to be next doubt that Krsna was taken His transendental birth in Mathura ?

Please give up these atheistic views and stop being an object of  laughing for true vaisnavas.

your servant

Payonidhi das

PS If Srila Prabhupada states that Brazil is Ravanas kingdom I am sorry that is mistaken, it can not be accepted , and in the CC he has stated something different, this will never be accepted by any sampradaya if Brazil is taken as the place.And can never be proven neither in Puranas.

The Sthala Puranas of Simhacalam also states

that Ahovalam is the place where Lord Narasimha appeared and Prahlada Maharaja was thrown of the cliff there and  VarahaNarasimha gave his darshan to Prahlada Maharaja at the time.Sastra is the highest authority.....and anyone that speaks out contrary to this is mistaken....Lord Caitanya Himself proved that there was only a mayaSita touched by Ravana by tearing out a page fromKurma Purana and showing it to the brahmana in doubt, so even the Supreme Lord is showing us to accept Sastra, though he is the source of these sastras .I will look up the quote about Sri Lanka and Ramesvaram again in the CC, as for the clear statements of

Ahovalam ,I refere all devotees to read Ahovalam Mahatmya and the Sthala Purana at Simhacalam.Lord Ramachandra also accepted

Ahovalam as the place of Lord Narasimhadevas appearance....Ahovalam and Ramesvaram are not fictiouse places thatShyamasundara

is trying to make us believe ,those who doubt revealed scriptures can never go back to Godhead.....

That is not what I said. Re-read the article. I said:

"In any case by what ever name you call it modern Sri Lanka-Ceylon is not the Lanka of the Ramayana because it is much too far to the North East by several hundreds of miles from the location of Lanka indicated in the Ramayana and the astronomical Siddhantasand other Jyotish literature."

That means that the real location of Lanka is much to the South East. Why? First of all the main authority on Ramayana is Valmiki, which I am now reading for 2nd time (Gita Press edition, 2 volumes 1900 pages, Sanskrit and English). In there is states that Lanka was 100 yojanas across the sea. 1 yogana= 8 miles, 100 yogans = 800 miles. What is currently called Lanka and formerly Celyon is about 20 miles from India 780 miles further North than the real Lanka.

Also in Surya Siddhanta which is dialog between the messenger of Surya to Maya Danava (the father-in-law of Ravana) it is explicitly stated that the meridian of Ujjain goes through Lanka. If you look on a map Ujjain is about 500 miles to the west of Ceylon.

This, therefore means that the real Lanka is much further South-West of the real Lanka.

This discussion first arose in 2004 and again 2006 and now 2011. I will append some texts from previous discussions for your edification.

It would not be the first time that what was supposed to be a holy spot turned out not to be the actual place.

For how many centuries did people consider Navadvip to be the actual appearance place of Lord Caitanya until Bhaktivinode Thakura found the real place? That really upset a lot of people didn't it? How many pastimes had to now be shifted from Navadvip to the Yogapitha? Isn'y it true that there are still some in Navadvip who insist that Lord Caitanya appeared there and not the Yogapitha.

I think this is a very valid point. I remember when Yasodanandan

Swami came back to see Srila Prabhupada in Vrindavana in 1976. He brought

photos of Ahovalam and many other Nrisimhadeva temples, including the place

celebrated as the actual spot where the Lord killed Hiranyakasipu.

Yasodanandan suggested that BTG base an article on his photos. However, a

doubt was raised that since Hiranyakasipu was occupying the throne of Indra

in the heavenly planets when he was liberated, how could that spot be

present on this planet? On this basis Srila Prabhupada said not to do the

article.

I have heard since then that those tirthas are commemorative but not

the actual pastime sites. So a similar thing might be the case with the

places in Sri Lanka.

Of course, Lord Rama's pastimes are said to have taken place on this

planet and current Sri Lanka and old Lanka do lie off the coast of S. India,

so there is a good likelihood that the sites on Sri Lanka have an actual

connection.

        Your humble servant,

(Text PAMHO:8031502) ---------------------------------------

------- End of Forwarded Message ------

I asked Hari Sauri Prabhu for his input on this issue and he is what he has to say:

___________________________________________

My understanding, and I am by no means an authority on this, was

that Srila Prabhupada did sometimes make a statement about a mundane

subject, and then later, if more information became available that

contradicted his earlier statement, he would be willing to reconsider. The

understanding that Ceylon (modern Sri Lanka) is the original Lanka of

Ravana, is one of them.

I already replied to Isvara on this by citing two conversations from

1977 where Srila Prabhupada said that understanding the 5th canto cosmology

did not require any spiritual qualification, it was simply a matter of

scholarship. And a month later he said that after translating it, he was not

satisfied. Thus he was willing to hear other opinions that might contradict

his own previous statements. It was in that mood that he responded to TKG's

statement that modern Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is not Ravana's Lanka.

However I will say that I don't think Srila Prabhupada was

expressing a fixed opinion when he responded to TKG. He was simply

reflecting TKG's statement back to him:

> > TamÄla Kçêäa: ...the original LaâkÄ. Ceylon, of course, is there, but it

> > is not LaâkÄ.

> > PrabhupÄda: Ceylon is different.

My reading of this is that Srila Prabhupada was being ambiguous. He

was willing to consider that Ceylon is not Lanka because TKG and Bhakti

Prema said so, and he makes his own suggestion that there are other islands

that might have been the original Lanka:

> > TamÄla Kçêäa: Yes. Who knows what else we will discover today. These

> > things... When we are actually...

> > PrabhupÄda: The Andaman, Nicobar Islands...

> > TamÄla Kçêäa: What did you say, ÆrÖla PrabhupÄda?

> > PrabhupÄda: There are other islands.

> > TamÄla Kçêäa: Yes.

> > PrabhupÄda: Andaman, Nicobar, like that.

> > TamÄla Kçêäa: Oh. But we're not... Bhakti-prema MahÄrÄja said that

> > yesterday he was going to look through the commentaries to try and

> > understand which these referred to in present-day geography. He wasn't

> > certain about. He only knew that one was...

> > PrabhupÄda: There are nearby islands. I don't know whether it is...

> > Andaman, Nicobar Islands. So those islands similarly from India were

> > sent. Now it is inhabited.

However, I don't think Srila Prabhupada was fixed on either

understanding. He was willing to consider other ideas even though he had

previously made statements confirming Ceylon as Lanka. On these things "It

is a matter of scholarship" as he said.

An example of ambiguity is in regard to Brazil being the place of

Ravana:

SB 4.22.36 Purport:

"In Brazil, in this present age, huge quantities of gold have been found,

and from historical references in the Puranas, we can guess safely that this

was Ravana's kingdom."

Here he says 'Ravana's kingdom', which we might assume to be Lanka.

But in a conversation in Australia on May 16 1975 we find:

Prabhupada: He never attempted. He simply bluffed, that's all. So demons'

proposals are like that. Therefore it is a common say in, hearsay in the, in

India, that ravane sarge sini(?): "The proposal is just like Ravana proposed

to make a staircase to the heavenly planets." He was also very much advanced

materially, very prosperous materially. Gold was very common thing. He

brought gold from Brazil through the subway. His brother was king there, in

southern America.

Amogha: Kumbhakarna?

Prabhupada: No, Mahiravana. Mahi, mahi means the earth. He used to go

through the subway, through the earth. So other side there was another

Ravana. That is Mahiravana.

Devotee (1): He built the subway?

Prabhupada: Yes. The subway is still there, Brazil. Somebody said?

Paramahamsa: Well, they found some parts of a subway there, some big tunnel.

But they don't know where it goes, though.

Prabhupada: Yes, yes. That is from Ceylon to Brazil, subway. And Ravana's

civilization, Ramacandra's fight, some millions of years ago. That is in the

Treta-yuga. The duration of Kali-yuga is about, say, four lakhs of years.

And Dvapara-yuga, eight lakhs of years. And then Treta-yuga, twelve lakhs of

years.

Paramahamsa: About two millions years ago, Treta-yuga.

Prabhupada: Yes. No, why? Twenty lakhs, ah, two million, yes. Two millions

of years ago the Ravana's civilization was there, and he was so prosperous.

He had airplane. The zeplin, zeplin?"

So he expands the meaning and links Brazil with Ceylon. "Ravana's

kingdom' becomes that of Mahiravana.

The other interesting comment is that in the puport he says "we can

guess safely." Its a guess, even if it is a safe one.

Of course here again he refers to Ceylon as being Ravana's kingdom.

Yet in 1977 he considered it might not be when TKG and Bhakti Prem said it

wasn't.

So on some mundane topics, geography, historical claims, Srila

Prabhupada was not necessarily fixed. I think the key thing though is that

in the SB 4.22.36 purport mentioned above, he says " from historical

references in the Puranas". Whenever there was some controversy or question

of authenticity, Srila Prabhupada would always refer to sastra. He would

often ask, "Is it in sastra. What do the Purana's say?"

Here's an example:

April 2, 1976 -- Vrindavana:

Yasodanandana Swami is back in South India, where they held some successful

programs from March 25th-28th in Kakinada. In a letter to Pusta Krsna Swami,

he requested confirmation of Prabhupada's attendance at a program in

Bangalore at the end of May. He also related an interesting story about

Prahlada Maharaja and a Deity of Varaha Narasimha that he saw in

Simhachalam, a place about 250 miles south of Jagannatha Puri. "The story of

this temple is related in the Vishnu Purana. Briefly it is as follows: After

Hiranya Kasipu attempted many times to kill his son, he finally devised a

very sinister plan.

"He sent his servants to throw Prahlada off a hill into the ocean and

instructed them to throw a hill on top of him so that he would die. The

servants carried Prahlada on top of Simha Giri and threw him into the ocean.

As soon as they were ready to throw the hill over the devotee Prahlada,

Narasimha came and rescued Prahlada out of the ocean.

"Prahlada, out of devotion for his Lord, requested the Lord to kindly

manifest Himself on top of the Simha Giri (the hill where Narasimha saved

Prahlada) and asked Him to please show Himself in the form of Varaha. He

also requested to show him the form in which he would later kill

Hiranyakasipu.

"So the Lord manifested Himself as Varaha Narasimha. And Prahlada worshiped

that Deity there on top of the hill. It's fabulous. It's unique."

Srila Prabhupada replied to the letter informing Yasodanandana Maharaja that

if he is required to attend the proposed Kuruksetra conference, he will stay

in India. Otherwise, he will go to the West. He also said that if the story

of Prahlada is in the Puranas then it is all right."

Yet a few days later:

April 10th, 1976 -- Vrindavan

"As we walked in the same forest again this morning, Yasodanandana Swami,

who returned from the South yesterday, asked Prabhupada to confirm Ahobalam

in South India as the actual place of Lord Nrsimhadeva's pastimes. He had

taken photos that he wanted to publish in Back To Godhead. However,

Jayadvaita and others doubted the claim.

Prabhupada said if there is some controversy, it should be avoided. "You

know the taka-taliya-nyaya? There was a tree, tal tree. So one crow was

there, and the tal fruit fell down. Two panditas, they began to argue,

'Because the crow sat down on it, therefore the tal fruit fell down.'

The other said, 'No, the tal fruit was falling down, and the crow could not

sit on it.' And they began to fight: 'No, this.' 'No this.' 'No this,' and

so on."

He said that the main point is that Lord Nrsimha is our worshipful Deity, no

matter where He is. Then he quoted from the Brahma-samhita. He is situated

everywhere, why just this place or that place?"

The point here is similar in one way to the discussion about the

location of Lanka. Ahobalam is in S. India. It is said to be the actual

place of Lord Nrsimhadeva's pastimes. When Yaso. told a story about that

place and quoted the Puranas, Srila Prabhupada said it was alright. But when

others challenged Ahobalam's claim to authenticity (because Hiranyakasipu

was actually killed on Indraloka according to the SB), then Srila Prabhupada

took a neutral stance.

Here's one other example of a speculative proposal being put to

Srila Prabhupada and his referring it back to sastra:

July 4, 1976 -- WDC

"Svarupa Damodara asked him if the soul, even though it is nonphysical, can

be measured. Since sastra states the soul to be one ten-thousandth the tip

of a hair in size, Sadaputa has estimated its size at two angstroms. He

arrived at this by calculating the size of the tip of a hair as it would be

measured by an electron microscope. An angstrom is the smallest unit of

measure known to science; it is even smaller than a hydrogen atom. Svarupa

Damodara wanted to know if this estimation was reasonable.

Prabhupada thought so. He said that it can be measured because the statement

is there in the Puranas."

In conclusion I would say that the physical locale is not important,

simply that the Lord is our worshipable Deity is the main point. I think

Srila Prabhupada would take the same approach to this debate about Lanka/

Ceylon.

        Your humble servant,

        Hari-sauri dasa

then Lord Ramachandra made a mistake

building the Ramasetu ,(Bridge of Lord Rama at Ramesvaram)

Srila Prabhupada has also confirmed Lanka as this place in the CC and the authenticity of Ramesvaram in CC.

There is a most interesting website about the many holy places related with Ramayana in Sri Lanka

http://www.tourslanka.com/ramayana-sri-lanka.php

with a most inspiring yourtube video about the places of Lord Ramachandras lilas in Sri Lanka.Of course the Rama Setu very clearly goes

from Ramesvaram to Sri Lanka and is proven  by NASA pictures, the remains of that bridge is clearly there.We have personally

witnessed some stones from the Rama setu that floats on water in Ramesvaram, in 1985 while being on Padayatra there.

I hope this helps clear up any misconception about this.

Happy Ramanavami, and sorry Shyamasundara Prabhu you are wrong on this one .... 

your servant

Payonidhi das

PS Another misconception some have is that Lord Ramachandra did not appear in this Treta yuga this is also a misconception

as Narasimha Purana has confirmed that Lord Narasimha appeared in Satya, and Lord Ramachandra in Treta yuga.

[Paramananda das]

Well that will need some investigation into sastra but it does not mean the present Sri Lanka is not the Sri Lanka of Treta Yuga as you

are suggesting, and that there is some kind of sunk Sri Lanka, like a lost Atlantis, why upset millions of hindus and devotees over such a thing? So unless you can provide the location of "your lost Sri Lanka", your claim is of no use...Lord Ramachandra can do anything, and this might have been true for Treta yuga obviously not now, shift in land ?Only God knows , there may be a doubt

but your conclusion can not be supported.....based on ancient vaisnava tradition....Sri Lanka is accepted by all as is the Rama setu.

 A study of the Skanda Purana likely holds

the answer as this Purana deals in great details with some many holy places related to Lord Ramachandras pastimes,I once found some glorification about Ramesvaram, and how sacred it is, that even sleeping one night at the beach there, garanties one may enter

Just answer the following questions:

What does it mean when in the valmiki ramayana Kishkinda Khanda chapters 44-45 it describes that the distance across the ocean that Hanuman had to jump to reach Lanka is 100 yojanas (800 miles)?

1 yojana = 8 miles.

Where as the present distance from India to Ceylon is only 2.5 yojanas=20 miles?

ya narashimha appeared in this kalpa. Krsna takes all his avatara again and again for every kalpa. Hence each kalpa Krsna takes narashimha, rama, matsya again and again. Now the present Sri Lanka was not in that place where it is now. During Yuga Sancharam, the time when Yuga changes , for example dwapara yuga changing to kali yuga, the period in between this two yugas when changing yugas is known as Yuga Sancharam. During this Yuga Sancharam there will a small Clean Up go on in the planets. Some unwanted and unnecessary things are removed. For example, When Krsna left this world, Yuga sancharam took place where Dwapara changed to Kali Yuga at this time Dwarka was submerged under the sea. Just like this during the yuga sancharam when Satya Yuga changed to Tretha Yuga, the palace of Hiranyakasipu was destroyed. According to scientist the land was joined as big island known as Pangea but it was separated over the time to the present countries india, africa, singapore divided by rivers and seas. Just like that Sri Lanka was 100 yojanas far from Rameshwaram during tretha yuga, over the time few yuga sancharams took place which resulted in the changes on our planet earth

  Sri Lanka is certainly the place where Lord Ramachandra killed Ravana but one of Srila Prabhupadas disciples does not agree so I wrote an article in the past.

http://nimaipandit.ning.com/profiles/blogs/shyamasundara-das-is-wrong

  Also Jayadvaita Swami and some other devotees from the BTG challenged Srila PRabhupada about the location of Lord Narasimhadevas apperance.  Ahovalam is the place.All these holy places are described in Skanda Purana and a good translation of this sacred Purana will share light on many holy places.

  Hari Sauri Prabhu even doubts that Lord Ramachandras lilas took place on this earth,,,this is just out to lunch....

Srila Prabhupada did not say not to write the article about Ahovalam as the place because of Jayadvaita Swamis doubts this is a misunderstanding of Hari Sauri das, many years later the BTG did eventually grow up and published an article about Indraduymna Swamis visit to Ahovalam .Then again in 2007 or so , Romapada Swami also challenged Ahovalam as the actual appearance place of Lord Narasimha. (at ISKCON Baltimore)

I am sorry these are childish doubts of some of Srila Prabhupadas disciples, I humbly ask they give up their misconceptions about these places and accept the actual facts as confirmed by sastra.And by Srila Prabhupada himself.
