NASA Images Discover Ancient Bridge between India and Sri Lanka
Space images taken by NASA reveal a mysterious ancient bridge in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. The recently discovered bridge currently named as Adam’s Bridge is made of chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long.
The bridge’s unique curvature and composition by age reveals that it is man made. The legends as well as Archeological studies reveal that the first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the a primitive age, about 1,750,000 years ago and the bridge’s age is also almost equivalent.
This information is a crucial aspect for an insight into the mysterious legend called Ramayana, which was supposed to have taken place in treta yuga (more than 1,700,000 years ago).
In this epic, there is a mentioning about a bridge, which was built between Rameshwaram (India) and Srilankan coast under the supervision of a dynamic and invincible figure called Rama who is supposed to be the incarnation of the supreme.
This information may not be of much importance to the archeologists who are interested in exploring the origins of man, but it is sure to open the spiritual gates of the people of the world to have come to know an ancient history linked to the Indian mythology.

Sri Lanka History
The first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the Stone Age, about 1.750.000 million years ago. These people are said to have come from the South of India and reached the Island through a land bridge connecting the Indian subcontinent to Sri Lanka named Adam’s Bridge. This is related so in the epic Hindu book of Ramayana.
Adam’s Bridge
Rama’s Bridge, chain of shoals, c.18 mi (30 km) long, in the Palk Strait between India and Sri Lanka. At high tide it is covered by c. 4 ft (1.2 m) of water. A steamer ferry links Rameswaram, India, with Mannar, Sri Lanka. According to Hindu legend, the bridge was built to transport Rama, hero of the Ramayana, to the island to rescue his wife Sita from the demon king Ravana.
These photos are really so great ,I don’t have exact words to describe these extrordinary photos,its really a proudness for us to have seen these marvellous views created in those days when Sri Ramchandraji has stepped on this earth.
for all we know it could be science fiction too. like the mention of the atom, or the anu in tamil by thiruvalluvar. the author of the ramayana must have heard the legends of the place which must have included mention of a bridge linking lanka and india, perhaps there was a real bridge earlier which sunk when the sea rose, but the legend stayed on. the author could have used this story to provide a setting for his story. it happens all the time, authors being far ahead of their times, where logically it is possible.
I would have been convinced had valmiki wrote that there would be a material that is semiconducting and used in electronics, but such things cannot be guessed, while a laser or an aeroplane can be guessed by even a child.
The primary theme of the day was that of spirit, and it is perhaps proper that a legend arose around the spiritual realm.
one should understand that by then india was a agrarian economy, settled into ints ways with liesure for its people, a lot of people did have the food and facility to go into spirituality research and by all accounts they did
just because the bridge is mentioned does not improve the ramayana which is itself a good epic….
and probably nothing more
This is of course, based on your own assumption that the Ramayana is a myth. However, I seriously do not consider that viewpoint. Valmiki clearly states that whatever he has recorded is history, and not an allegory.
Why should we believe that? Because, by analysing the text, one can glean many philosophical truths of an extremely high order. For instance,
- Sita in Lanka represents the Jivatma in Samsara.
- The Rakshasis who tortured Her represent the dangers of Samsara.
- Ravana represents the material body that the samsaric Jiva is associated with (the 10 heads refer to te indriyas). One should yearn for release from this body.
- Hanuman represents the acharya sent by the Lord to free us from samsara.
- The ring that Sita gave to Hanuman represents the guru parampara that a jivatma should follow. For instance, in Ramanuja parampara, we follow Sri Manavala Mahamuni, whose acharya is Pillai Lokacharya, who in turn is a sishya of Vadakku Thiruveedhi Pillai, and so on….this parampara ultimately leads to the ‘mula’ acharya Sri Ramanuja. Similarly, Hanuman is the first acharya whom the guru parampara leads us to.
- Sri Rama is the Lord who then liberates us by destroying our body, just as He destroyed Ravana to save Sita.
Many more truths exist in this text. Now, people may be inclined to take all this as allegory and not history. But by reading all this, one comes to the conclusion that Valmiki was a jnani. And he claims that this is history. By logic, one accepts that a jnani does not lie.
So, in my humble opinion, the Ramayana is a historical account of Lord Rama’s descent, where He demonstrated the philosophical truths of the Veda, using the killing of Ravana as an excuse. One cannot ‘appreciate’ the epic and call it ‘good’ without accepting the words of a jnani, that it is a historical work.

SOCH PAR KISI KA NIYANTRAN NAHI..
Its great to see the pictures released by NASA. I am thankful to them its a best example who did not beleive god. In world so many scientists are there prove them what is it really ? We are discovered many things what about this ?
I really saw this place when i am in ayaapa swamy diksha at that time i saw that RAMA STONES that GREAT to watch there weight is like ordinary stone but when it is leaving in to water it is floating. It is really mindblowing to see that types of incidents in my life.
BE PROUD TO BE INDIAN that it has been proved God stays a long peroid in this place……………………………..
yes proud to be an indian
Hi Anil!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are stones that float, they are volcanic, called ‘pumice’…I don’t know if they will float until they absorb water, or not. Yes, they are heavy like a boat is heavy, and some are light in weight, because of differences in density. We know that a boat floats because it displaces water, unless it takes on water and then it usually stops floating. Hopefully near shore if people are on…
Yes Beth I agreed with you but you did not checked. that time it was many yers ago. no one can understood what is density nor which material will float in water.so we have to accpet this truth.
This is yet another example of Hindus trying to prove scientifically that their foolish religion is legitimate. But what is really happening is that the primitive, uneducated Indian people cannot understand how science works so they assume everything is the result of their gods and magic and demons.
Please, use your head. Think. A BOAT is far heavier than many rocks, yet it FLOATS! WOW! MAGIC! WEIGHT is not what causes a rock to sink. Volcanic rocks have AIR POCKETS. Holding air makes them buoyant. That makes them float. I can do the same thing with the rocks in my garden because they are volcanic.
Have you ever put a coconut in the water? They must be magical and created by hindu gods because they float as well. So does wood. A giant tree that weighs more than a house will also float, being much heavier than most rocks.
I beg you to please get an education and learn how to think logically.
Science, religion and miracles were intertwined in ancient india. Teachers and scholars called it science while others called it miracles. Its the same all over the world. Just because something or someone was called divine did not mean there was no science behind it\them. But it did mean that they were familiar with the scientific properties (maybe not principles behind them) and were able to leverage them. Ancient Indians (and folks generally all over the world) were able to do things which currently could not explained by many folks. The non-rusting iron is a good example which was a mystery for a long time (and has existed for ever) and was explained by scientists this decade. I am not a big believer in miracles but do believe that people had different technology 100s of years back and in some cases it could have been more advanced than the crap we get out today.
Who the Hell do you think you are Jason to call Hindu religion as “Foolish Religion”. Your words and language suggest that you are highly influenced by the recently developed western civilization, which 1000 years ago use to be a backward culture. No individual in this world is great enough and big enough to address any religion with these derogative words. Just to let you know dude when people in England use to live in Jungles and hunt for food people in India were using Lavatory and canal system for irrigation. Cities, townships, roads, and brick built houses were common, to say that ancient Indian were having a very developed culture would not be wrong (Please read history to Validate). Now Lets talk about Logic and Science, in India we have 6 dept. of philosophy which are based on Logical Conclusions. We have the most ancient reading on Astrology, Chemistry and Biology. Vedantic Mathematics is as old as Veda itself, which is very advanced and highly respected worldwide. I have gone through other comments and do feel that people don’t have good knowledge about Hinduism. Firstly please do your homework before you start and make comments about any subject or religion. I am a scientific person myself and I do believe in what I see, but that should not mean I become arrogant, judgmental and partial in my view. When Christens came to India and talked about Science they said everything is wrong about Hinduism. While today it’s well know fact how scientific our discipline of medicine and Yoga was and the world is practicing it. We had colleges and Universities in India talking about science and religion even before Christ took birth. The depth and extent of intellectual advancement can be easily understood by the fact that it talks about tolerance, peace and harmony. In India Buddhism & Jainism was tolerated and practiced by people and they had option to choose (6 centuries before the Christ was born). Even recently Zoroastrianism is a religion only practiced in India and Hindus did help them or it would have been vanquished by Islam. Even Islam and Christianity came to India and were accepted. Unlike religions countries practicing Islam and Christianity were you cannot even think about other religion getting practiced just a couple of centuries back!!
What we have come across is surely a bridge no doubt on that and it’s true that it is mentioned in Ramayana about creation of this bridge. Worldwide Scientists do study these religious books to understand the ancient culture as they are considered records of event during that time. Hinduism is most ancient religion to be practiced currently in the world. Let the research go on and time shall speak for itself as what is right and what is wrong about the bridge. Everything written in scriptures may not necessarily be true and they might not necessarily be false. Religious books have said about this bridge ages back and scientist have found it today, same has been the case with the ancient city of Dwarika, whose ruins are getting excavated on the shores of Gujarat. Again the same was mentioned in another epic called Mahabharata.
well said mate the hindu culture is well and the food is very good for body and spirit.
WOW. Beautifully said.
I dont want to say much however for me believing in my religion ( Hinduism)is like believing in my existance in this world. You are so right Saurabh, i dont know you but your reply to Jason is perfect.
Jason, I think u should work on your facts before commenting on any religion because what i feel is that you are too comsumed with your own thoughts that you have started neglecting everyhting else in this world, i would request you to ask this question from people in US and other countries who are already following my religion.
All religions are important. God bless everyone. OM NAMAH SHIVAY.
Way to go Saurabh, Jason is just another one of those who dosen’t look before he leaps, not educated enough to know that what was found was not by the indian people but by NASA so if he want’s to call some one a liar there he goes, who needs the education now Jason your statement in just showing your prejudice
against a race of people(indians) who are now being copied for their medical expertises,technological and spiritual knowledge the world over especially US.. without these prejudices the world will be a much more pleasant place to live.
I am shocked with the wordings Jason has used here against the Hindu religion. You need to use your head (and brain if you have it !!!) to think what will you get out of that dirty comments !
Learn to respect all religions if you can or better keep your stupid sense for your family and friends. You don’t need to bring it over internet.
u fool… THINGS MATTER WHEN UNEXPECTED HAPPENS…ie when a stone floats on water… or when a coconut sinks in water or a tree sinks in water …. [normally a stone dnt float on water.. ] but a tree or a coconut floats on
water ..
u dnt know nothing abt that stone which floats i rameshwarm .. first take a look at those and comment on it…

Our hindu religion is an ancient culture which also believed by great scientists.And our religion is not foolish.Who are you,giving such answers on net .Who know’s you ,what your culture proves ,thinking of ideas also gives invention and in hindus mostly ideas have came true.For your information rockets,aircrafts, plastic surgery,breating of plants, invention of digit [0] zero like.Only some few examples are given which proves us literated through ancient period the ancient period means about when your where roaming nude [clothless] not knowing to speak that time our religion had improved than you much better and forward than you.for your first question I would like to answer you that is you area explaning about floating of wood, ,trees,volcanic rocks-all these things float on water I know very well.but if it was so much easy and we are illatrate than you then why we created such a huge breeze before you peoples and your stupied religion stealing our IDEAS and giving your MOSTLY SYUPIED<FOOLISH names.Your religion is started just two thousand years ago and very stupied thinks are thought in it .Some times I think how so many pepole followed The stupied Christain religion O’I forgot I am sorry it is true clever are very less And stupied all found around the world i.e you will found clever hindus in india And stupied Christains all around the world.But a good fool like you can follow the christianity because it is huge manufacturer of foolish peoples.
hi Jaman,
thanks u had given a very good answer to Jason
now hi Jason, i have red ur comment u had said our religion oh i’m sorry all religions[bcoz GOD is one] a “foolish religion” by reading it i got very much sure that u had not ever red RAMAYAN yet &if u had red u had never red it from the bottom of ur heart, the way u read BIBLE but i think i’m wrong ur such type of comment shows that u had not even red BIBLE.Now lets come to the point that, if u ever want to comment our religion please read RAMAYAN first & i’m very much sure that by reading it u will become very much against to the person who ever will show disrespect to our religion.
“JAI RAM JI”
Here is another example of backwards western thinking. Who are you to disparage another culture’s beliefs? No wonder Christians around the world are thought of as intolerant and backwards…shame on you! Perhaps you should open your mind and try to understand the beliefs of others.
mr. jason you were wrong,,,, if you know about this you have rights to speak abt this,,,, but dont speak in a partical way
“primitive, uneducated Indian people cannot understand how science works”
Your comment is highly offensive, and I, as an Indian and proud intellectual, am highly disturbed by this.
Your point about weight not affecting whether and object floats or not is spot on- congratulations, you have at least mastered middle school chemistry. In fact, your comment about “air pockets” suggests just that- a middle school level of understanding. The word is density, my friend. Rocks, especially those near a shore, are MORE dense than water, hence they sink.
However, you clearly did not do your research. You continue to go on and on about volcanic rocks- but I have scientific research (which you seem very keen on) on my side, telling me that there were no volcanoes, nor was there any possible source for volcanic rock to have arrived at the particular spot at which the bridge was built.
Also, Hindu mythology says that through the grace of god, the rocks were able to float only once the name “Shree Ram” was inscribed upon it. Please explain to me how a ‘volcanic’ rock can sink one second, then float the next.
You seem to forget that as a RELIGION, certain things must be taken on faith. I’ll go on a limb here and assume that you are Christian (if I’m wrong, then please forgive this assumption- I don’t mean to offend). Christians believe that Jesus could walk on water, or that he turned water into wine, or that he was resurrected, for crying out loud. Please try to give me a scientific explanation for each of these things. Even if you give me some story about the shoes he was wearing being extra buoyant or something, it doesn’t change the fact that the word RELIGION implies that you must take a certain amount on faith.
That being said, please try to be more tolerant of other people’s religions. Just because you are not Hindu does not mean that all Hindus are automatically uneducated or whatever derogatory terms you called us. I would not go so far as to make demands, as I’m sure it will go unfulfilled, but I think you owe us all an apology.
And for your reference, in case you try to label me as uneducated, I am a doctor of medicine, and I live in the USA. I have received 20 years schooling, and I minored in Hindu religion. I know what I’m talking about, and I have my facts straight.
Your sarcastic tone does not endear you, nor does it help to enforce your point. I suggest that in future, stick to actual facts to prove your point, rather than making opinion-based insults.
Your reply is awaited with all due eagerness.
if the stones were floating at that time, they should float even today, (that is law of physics ) why are they not floating today, why is that they are sunk inside, there is somethng more to be investigated.
Govind sir stones were floating at that time this time also . I went overthere
last year this time in ayyappa swamy diksha you to go and see sir…………. You can see it Dwaraka temple is also under the water sir .
Govind, please educate yourself before you speak. There is no law of physics that says “If a stone was floating in the past it must be floating today.” If the hindus interpreted the floating stones as floating magically, then it would be a miracle and thus outside of the laws of science altogether. But if they were floating, as volcanic rocks do because they contain pockets of air, then they may be floating today unless they have filled with water and sunk.
Why do indians keep trying to sound scientific and logical, as if to legitimize hinduism, when hinduism itself is unscientific and illogical? If you are going to use science then quote an actual scientific law, not one that you invented.
Hinduism is one of the most scientific and logical religions. Infact i feel it is more logical and scientific than most other religions. Just because you do not have the inclination to study thouroughly what hinduism is all about does not make you an expert on the matter. I try to keep myself informed of all and believe what I feel is right for me. There are things in cristianity, hinduism, islam, buddhism, jainism, shintoism which makes sense. there are somethings which dont. believe what you want to believe. beleieve what you need to believe. But rather than claiming xyz is crap, try to get a firm understanding of what makes sense and what doesnt.
This is not volcanic stone and all. This is floating in the water is just because of lord rama’s power. This is not science and all. One day u will come to know there are more power apart from science. Look up the sky atleast for 5 minutes. There are several things in this world ur science can’t answer.
Is this wat u hav been taught in your religion? be a gud christian first..then,u wont b such a barbarian critic towards time tested philosophies..god is not something to b provd..but to b experiencd..christ walkd on water..there is nothing more unscientific than tat in d whole world of religions..but,a deep study of hinduism can teach u tat, by yogic powers, wat christ did was possible! Dont think tat logic & reasoning is the ultimate measure of truth..reality is beyond all tat..may god bless u with knowledge..
A devotee of Shree Satya Saiee Baba from Guyana, who is now residing in India, told us a scientist who is also a devotee of Shree Satya Sai were inspired about the bridge, after which the discovery was made.
It is truly a magnificent site, and it will definitely renewed and rebuilt the confident of Hindus around the world. For too long, our people have been lead astray, not believing in our Spiritual text. Through the bless of our Lord Shree Satya Saiee Baba, this is made possible, of the ancient history of this great Dharma/Religion.
Tara ji, no one leads us astray unless we permit them to always believe in your dharma even though it can’t all be proven in our lifetime just like this is being proven now but our great great grandchildren will read about other findings.
Question about the shoal/bridge between India and Sri-Lanka: I wonder why a bridge needed to be built when there was probably a natural land-bridge, and at that time standing above the water. The water in that area may have been one of the shallow seas that Geologists have stated existed so long ago. Also, at 1,700,000 years ago, is there evidence of any peoples having invented rafts or boats? The stated archaeological evidence of human habitation has not been revealed in the news article.
What you are saying is absolutely true…… When there was a land, why one has to build a bridge. If the sea level is going up and in next few years some of the the islands like Maldives wont be seen on the map which are existing today, what has happened in past 1700000 years is that a land has submerged in the water and Idiots think its a bridge.If millions of years old dinosaurs skeleton are found why cant we find the skeletons of those monkeys who build it.After all NASA has not said that the bridge was build with human hands.It was an exaggeration done by Indian Media whose remote is in the hands of BJP, VHP AND BAJRANGDAL.
your name sounds like u r an Indian, im sorry to say this but dont you have shame to speak like that……. there are many evidences to prove the great epic ramayana if you dont know them please go and visit srilanka where you’ll find hundered and ten evidences which you cant even understand and please dont talk like a stupid without knowing anything……..
jai shri ram!
Completely wrong.What are you saying about?There is no Raman,Sita,Lakshman&Hanuman.
Please keep your opinions separate from your facts. Telling a man he is “wrong” to believe in his religion is intolerable.
Just my 2c here, firstly, if you go back in time, you would realize that the entire planet was submerged by water…and around 100 billion years ago earth was massed as one big continent, close to 100 million years ago it split into two which then split again. so by 1.7 million years back, all our continents seen today are very similar at that time. This image seems to be a “man made”, structure. Which stands to reason that although the awesomeness of nature creates amazing objects, the linkage of two land masses with this precision and magnitude is no coincidence. But for those that question the authenticity of this bridge and its origins should make educated guess’s rather than speaking one’s empty and unlearned minds. Who are you to say that this is just a “freak of nature” event? and things like this happen all the time, a i bet you also believe in Nessie and the big foot??? what a joke!!! Scriptures, writings and teachings passed on for thousands of years indicate that this structure has true and valid origins, who are we to question that???
Secondly who on earth named the bridge???? Adams’s Bridge???
I think that’s an insult to all Indians, Our culture gets westernized with a name subjected to another religion….I say give credit and appreciation where its deserved!!! DON’T make our religion and triumphs westernized with a name like Adam’s bridge!!!
Jai Shri Ram!!!
you are absolutely right Adam’s bridge it is Shree Ram’s bridge or Shree Hanuman’s bridge but no way it is Adam’s bridge
I agree with it never having been a man made bridge. Just a natural connection of land. hence the after the fact a Western name of “Adam” as in “Adam’s Rib” from Adam and Eve.
i agree with all what u hav said kriban…
sunil u are foolish …dinosaurs aren;t for real …americans can do anything for money and fame so just image how low they would go to create surreal ideads…besides that bridge that was created in the ramayan….it was build for Lord Rama to rescue Sita and destroy Ravana…and that same bridge was destroyed by God himself… just keep in mind the thesis of this discussion my foolish friend….nasa Discover Ancient Bridge between India and Sri Lanka..end of story…
u fool who said u that nasa discovered the bridge?? it was known to Indians all along. u foolish westerns didnt accept the fact. thats it. there are a few more things i would like to mention which shows the sinful nature of the europeans.
1)recentmost is that INDIA’S CHANDRAYAN found evidence of water on moon n now us says it dscovered water on moon. when the proof of water was submitted to european scientific society it was rejected. n when nasa did the same it was accepted.
2)nasa never sent any man to moon. (want proof?? just search the net n u will get ample of it.)
3)we are the ones who taught u what 1+1 is. and u say u taught us. the truth is when british invaded India it twisted and rewrote history the way they wanted.
4)who the hell gave u permission to name our bridge as ‘adams bridge’??
5)the INDIAN vedas taught the system of binary without which computers ‘invented by u’ would be non-existent.
6)Aryabhatta the greatest mathematician ever said earth revolves around the sun, and sun is also not at the center of universe in the 6th century 10 centuries before your galleleo said. he also mentioned about RELATIVE MOTION by givin the example of a man sitting in the boat 16 centuries before Einstein. the truth is that u dont know all this.
7)Baudhayan stated the theorem in 3rd cent ‘The sq. of the diagonal of a rectangle is equal to the sum of the sqs. of the other two sides’ which u call as’pythagoras thm’.
8)the value of pi was calculated correctly to 11 digits by 10th cent by an INDIAN when europeans knew it only till 5.
9)once roman king came to India and he was astonished to see everyone clean and neatly shaven. he wanted ur foolish ancestors to be so clean as well and to do so he had to bribe them by reducing tax.
10)recently i came across an article which said a british company was trying to get a “patent” for ‘discovering medicinal properties of an ancient herb which was known to INDIANS more than 2500 yrs ago. this shows how hopeless and shameless u europeans are. more than all who the hell gave u dogs the rights to “patent”??
11)This is just the tip of the gigantic iceberg. u fools do research only for credits but its not the same with us. we study to learn and gain more knowledge.
This proves that u europeans are inferior to us n not the other way around.
so next time when u fools comment, please think (of if u have brains!!) before u do so.
Hare Krishna Ravi,
As a, “foolish westerns” (westerner), that has wholly embraced eastern culture I have a couple of comments. First, thank you for sharing a few of the mostly unknown and unrecognized achievements of Indian culture. As a devotee of Lord Krishna and a disciple of His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada since 1973 I can attest to the extraordinary benefit that has accrued to my life from 37 years of sadhana, studying the Vedas, and practicing a life style centered on Vedic wisdom. I would be lost without it, and owe my happiness, knowledge and salvation to what I have learned from eastern thought and practice.
I also have two small requests for you. First, as you are clearly a learned person, my hope is that you will continue to share your knowledge with others who are less fortunate. Second, we find the sanskrit proverb, ” satyam bruyat, priyam bruyat”, truth should be spoken, but should be done in a palatable, non-offensive way. I think we foolish westerners would be more inclined to hear your message of eastern knowledge if it were presented without the name calling rhetoric. Thanks.
dear ravi kiran, u r very right, these Europeans are very much afraid of Indians. they think they are master of world bt they forget to thank their teacher for all the matters which they think they had discovered. infact they can use the word discovered, but its us who invented science & all calculative formulas.
regards
Rajeev
It looks too much like ‘The Creation of Adam’ by Michelangelo.
I think the picture was photoshopped
What I believe is that the word is in the 21st century, and I”m living in the scientific age. Idont know guys where you were.
hi…………..
Even though it is scientific age plz can i ask one question??? Is the tree is
first or seed is first ??? It s not argument that just i want to tell onething its all God creation………..
I agree payya Jai shree ram jai hanumaan.
THIS BRDIGE EITHER BUILT BY KING RAVAN OF LANKA OR RAMA OF INDIA. IF RAMA BUILT THIS BRIDGE THEN HOW KING RAVAN WENT TO INDIA TO GRAB RAMA’S WIFE SITA ? OR IF RAMA BUILT THIS BRIDGE KING RAVAN HAS FLEW TO INDIA BY HIS OWN AIR PLANE TO INDIA & BROUGHT SITHA TO LANKA. ACCORDING TO THE OLD STORIES AMONG THE LANKANS AS KING RAVAN WAS USING AN AIR PLANE TO GO TO INDIA. IN SINHALA LANGUAGE IT CALL “DANDU MONARAYA” THERE ARE PICTURES OF IT. IT LOOK LIKE A HUGE PEACOCK.
ANY HOW THIS BRIDGE PROVE THE WHOLE WORLD HOW EFFICIENT, TALENTED & BRAVE PEOPLE LIVED IN THIS REGION MANY MANY YEARS AGO. THERE WERE NO MACHINES TO BUILT IT & NO MAPS TO SEE WHERE THE OTHER COUNTRIES ARE.
hi….. Aruna
IF ONLY RAMA WANT TO GO HE WILL HAVE THAT MUCH POWER TO GO OR OTHERWISE HANUMAN WILL HELP HIM TO GO TO THAT PLACE THAT HE WANT TO TAKE ALL VANARAS TO THAT PLACE THAT’S WHY HE BUILT THAT BRIDGE …..
RAVANA IS ALSO MORE POWERFUL THAN RAMA BUT HIS SINS MAKE HIM LIKE THAT….
Guys,
The person who created these images is probably smirking away to glory. Tell me something. India has sattelites. Do you think if this existed BJP would not have found it yet.
Besides Adams Bridge is too much. If Nasa actually called it that then the christians are giving substance to Hinduisim. Hell no… I dont see that happening.
Have you ever heard off Adobe Photoshop. I saw a picture that leads to Heaven. Staircase to Heaven. Guess what Hanumanji is sitting on the stairs.
The almost universal estimate among scientists is that homo sapiens appeared (in Africa) about 120,000 to 170,000 years ago. ‘Out of Africa -II’ the migration of humans out of Africa commenced about 80,000 to 100,000 years ago. They reached Australia about 50,000 years ago and passed through South India on the way.
It is utterly impossible for a MAN MADE BRIDGE to have been created 1.75 million years ago because our species, man, did not exist even 1.5 million years ago. Or is someone suggesting that this was built by Homo Erectus or Homo Habilis a far distant intermediate specis between us and the apes?
The archeological record does not agree with you. There is a wealth of artefacts that shows ‘modern man’ (Homo Sapiens) has been active on the planet for many, many millions of years and new evidence comes to light often. The arguement usually runs something like - Those finely built polished walls and those exquisite mortars found in 65 million year old strata (under basalt lava flows under Table Mountain) couldn’t possibly have been made by homo sapiens because they didn’t exist then. And those modern human remains in strata older than their supposed ancestors couldn’t possibly be modern human remains because they weren’t around then. Its a case of knowledge filtration (not always intentional) and the blinders of human arrogance.
Id many thanks on your comment (jan 7). I have suspected filtration of acheological evidence many times but where can we find the original evidence that has been changed in order to prove to missinformed people the world over the truth’s as they stand? Modern social engineering scheme’s by goverments are no doubt involved, as are scientists who are not open-minded and try to make evidence fit in with their Darwinian belief’s intstead of being open to possibility and then to further research.
The bridge still shows up clearly during the low tides. However, wherther it was built by Lord Rama or they are there from the time of continental drifts is not a serious issue. In India people have a tendency to believe only what they see and rubbishes away all other. The basic theory of life of many Indians relate to the ‘Dasavatara’, the ten incarnations of God on Earth being Matsya (Fish), Kurma (Turtle), Varaha (Boar), Narasimha (the half man half beast), Vamana (the little man/boy), Parasurama (Man (Ram with Parasu) with the the Axe, Sree Ram (the man with a Bow), Sree Krishna (the man with a Flute), Balarama (the man with a Yoke) or Buddha (the enlightened man)and Kalki (you name it). Is there any other theory of evolution of life on earth other than the Dasavatara ? The life which first appears in the Sea (not necessarily in the form of fish - but in the form of any aquatic living thing) evolves in to a turtle which for prolonged periods can live both in water as well as on land. From the turtle, the life evolves in to an animal in the form of a wild boar from which it transforms in to a half man half beast. The half man half beast then becomes a little man (the first man on earth must have been short and not as tall as we are now - thanks for the modern science for our growth). The little man then evolves in to a wild man with an axe and he kills other men (as Parasuram killed the Khshatriyas). It is now the time for Parasuram to go for Bow and Arrow and becomes Sree Ram. After Sree Ram Sree Krishna with a Flute comes. It merely means by this time the man was interested in music, dances and other activities and at the same time Krishna’s brother Balaram has a Yoke and it is defenitely not for fight but to cultivate the land. Buddha is an enlightened man whose name must have been removed from the history and then the Kalki and it is where the life which first appeared in water has now reached. The Dasavatara is the best scientifically justifiable theroy of life. The question is how did the ancient Indians know of this theory ? or was it God’s spontaneous creation of man as believed by some others ? Which theory suits well for science ? I believe what is said in the Epics is true manifestations of gone by historical facts. The Nagastras, Paasupathastras and all those other astras and weapons of mass destruction are now becoming true and a reality. Pasupathastra once set in motion multiplies from one to ten and ten to hundred and home in on the target with cent percent accuracy. The modern missiles with multiple war heads are the modern pasupathastras. Be proud you carry the blood of those great indians who did not really imagines of the eventualities but actually possessed the knowledge and weaponry. That is why and how we the Indians harnessed the most advanced atom technology in 1974 within 27 years from becoming independent. We had and still has the IQ inherent within us to be a great nation.
This story is not being covered by ANY legitimate news organization. NASA does not even have this story, please show me where this can be proven a real story.
No body is ready to make to prove…. Go and see that place then you can beleeve without knowing don’t use the words ….
for you all who say this is a hoax how can it be such a big coincidence that the bridge created by shree ram is in th sam e spot as this discovered bridge coincidence………………..NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS THE TRUTH
I think that it should be called the Ram bridge!
Congratulations to NASA and our tehnology to get our vision of intelligence widley.These pictures and images realy gave me and the society a lot of information and feed of our curiosity
Thanks! NASA!
hare krishna, my name is anuj dayal and i am 18 years old, studying in delhi. while working or while studying i oftenly lose my concentration due to some bad vulgur things that comes in my mind on its own, but i think that these things are natural, i feels it difficult to get rid of this.

The secret to controlling the mind is giving the mind something better to be occupied with. If you can become attracted to Krishna who is so beautiful then gradually all the so-called beautiful things of the material world and the so-called pleasures of the material world will seem unimportant to you in comparison to the beauty of Krishna and your relationship with Krishna. So briefly you can achieve what you want to do by becoming Krishna conscious. But to become Krishna consciousness is a process that you need to learn and that is the subject of the books of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, the Founder-Acarya of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness. So please read Srila Prabhupada’s books. You can read online at:

Chant Hare Krishna and be happy!
The Image does not represents any histrorical events or ancient facts… its just a Settlement which is the fact of happening between two islands. so pls dont confuse ur self
Same bridge is devlop by GOD RAMA with the help of all vanara hanuman, nal,nil,jabubant , sugrav and aganda its clearly mention in Hindus Puran Ramayana
Some of you have commented that this is a made up story.
I went to the official website of NASA and found this article.
http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/srilanka.htm
This is faith and we have to understand that we are not capable enough to analyse what happened even 100 years back, this is a couple of million years ago.
If you are getting the results of spirituality, meditation or chanting the names of the lord then go ahead and make life better.There is no harm trying something whose power is talked about so much.

Valmiki wrote the Ramayana and mentioned a bridge between India and Sri Lanka. He did not have satellite or any high technology to foresee this bridge.
NASA now showed images of a “MYSTERIOUS” bridge “RIGHT THERE”! Why are some of us still arguing about a bridge showing up there? Common sense! I whole heartedly believed that is Lord Rama’s Bridge. The Ramayana was not just written by Valmaki only but the same exact story was retold by many other Great Philosophers; and the bridge was mentioned in all!!
Thank you NASA!
thanks Rose for explaining to some foolish persons, your comments was great, thanks again
that’s true Rose
Jai Shree Raam
first of all thank you everybody since your comments and the infos above has really helped to increase my knowledge(which is a must for me because am a hinduism student). the whole thing is very interesting but still according to me some more lights should be shed in this matter since i believe that this stuff transcends my understanding….anyone having more info about this issue, specially if you’ve visited this place, do provide me with accurate details….my email add is: shayanphurb@yahoo.com
Hello all,
I myself saw a program in discovery channel which was showing that researcher have found very thick “janjir” made of totally gold, at the sunk place where lanka used to be.
We all must have read that Lanka city was of gold.
Any one has to say anything about it.
Many thanks
Mamta
The uneducated should read the Ramayan
I very grateful having seen these photo’s from NASA. I can show as a historical proof to those who does not believe in The Supremme Personality Of God Head KRISHNA.
I read your mail just. I liked it very much. It increases my faith in Krishna. Please send me more information, photoes about ’spiritual solutions to material problems’.
Thank you !

Oh sure, now you love NASA when they use their orbiting satellites and scientific instruments to confirm the existence of an ancient bridge. Not so much when they go to the Moon and peer into deep space looking for the earliest light in the Universe. Heh.
The NASA images discover ancient Bridge between India and SriLanka. the NASA was declared the bridge was 17,50,000 years ago, but not built here in between India and Srilanka. the bridge is Rama built. evidence is correct but not proof the bridge in that place.
I have been Reaearch in the Valmiki Ramayana.

The bridge exist. Built with regular stones, which float. There is no air inside the stones or anything else that can sustain floating. The stones still float. Scientist of both West and India have cut that floating ones stones to figure it out…. They had and have no idea how to explain it.
hi really great!!! i wanted to check abt the bridge which existed & abt the ramayana… fotos r ze proof thnx a lot 7 plz send me more of them.
Hi guys,
Read from start to end….
If u believe that Jesus was seen 3 days after his death which is not scientific. . .u have to believe Rama’s bridge. . .
People who don’t believe Rama . . . Don’t believe. . .But do not say Hinduism is crap or something. . .
If u have good sound knowledge on Indian History then talk. . .Don’t talk what media shows…
hey jason or who ever u r
pls have some knowlwdge abt our rich indian culture
it is not whether its hindu or christ its India and its culture
u shud pls stop tokin like this abt the hindu community
we r not fools
we built a bridge across 2 nations wen the west had not even woken up
we invented many things tat the west claimed to have done it
hey and we indians r not foolish or primitive we r way advanced
tat is y westners r craving for a indian brain
hey pls mind ur tongue abt india and its people

To pranesh.
Grow up son. look into your own relegion or should i say some one elses. Its a borrow line stories from other text. Now put your legs up and say hhaaaleeeluigia……… idiot.
Hi,
Interesting to read about all the comments given by you gentlemen & women, only one thing i would like to say that somehow, we all are discovering GOD….
Is n’t so.
Hi, When “Europeans” were still living in caves “INDIA” was way ahead of them.When they were stuggling to find that the world was round, Vedic science was already way ahead of them and knew as a fact that the world was round. When the Barbarians from arabia and Europe invaded India they stole everything from us and tried to destroy our culture, that is why so many of our educational, religious institutions were wiped out by these narrow-minded beasts in the name on conquest, gold, slavery, debauchery, prophets of the middle east, their so called God and their so called true religion.
It is of no surprise today that the children of blood thirsty Arabia and Europe would deny their past sinful act and refuse to admit that Indians were far more advanced civilization than their barbaric ones. The stole even the name of the bridge that Lord Ram constructed into Adam bridge. Their blood, mind, action is filled with sin and corruption down to the last atom and their downfall is near. Remember karma will come and bite you in the bum!
For those bashing the Hindu faith with all your science facts and don’t believe in our miracles…. Find me the cure for what we call Junders ( where the skin and eyes gets yellow as you slowly die of the poison killing the body)! No hospital has a cure nor treatment for this…This is where OUR HINDU PREYS COME IN! Its the only cure… Its what we call Jahray! So when your Western science finds where a prey scientific and can provide prof then u can discriminate hindus… The bible was rewritten to white mans version so dont give me no bull s**t bout christ! Oh Yeah! The missing years of christ was in INDIA getting INDIANS prey and knowledge…Ask your priest what they hide from you with your white version crap of faith!
Hi everybody,
I’m not here to hurt anybody’s feelings regarding hinduism since i myself being a devoted hindu, i would like to make some valid points. Hinduism has got great spiritual messages which by all means has the power to vanish all the problems we have in life. This may even provoke us to believe that everything happens is because of god. This region ( Tamil Nadu & srilanka ), where just one land during Lemuria phase (atleast 20,000 - 25,000 years before) and has human inhabitants with it. Dravidans were living throughout the country. Even recent archeological findings in harappa reveals that it is pro-tamil scriptures which is found in it. The Invasion and settlement of Aryans from persia, mesopotamia etc pushed dravidians in harappa to far south to join with their existing dravidans in southIndia & srilanka. A great plateau collide happened in central asia and due to that land mass was shrinked and separated due to which western ghates ( especially in kerala) and separation of land mass between Tamil Nadu and srilanka happened. Still the dravidans never really were willing to be separated and constructed a bridge to renunify themselves. The group of peoples are predominantly tamils. This bridge was actually in use for several decades but due to the continious increase of waterflow and sea level led to the sinking of the bridge. May be either Rama would have used the bridge for sea was not known. But one thing was certain. No one would have the time to actually built a bridge, when his wife is being kidnapped by another person on the other side. I’m sure the strengths of hanuman is more than good enough to carry Rama and laxmana and others to srilanka. Which hanuman has actually done it several times. So no reasons infact is good enough to understand that it was done by lord rama. Instead we need to appreciate the dravidan and Tamil culture who had the civilization to construct the bridge to bridge the human relations between their people. This is a proper evidence for all the people to understand that srilanka was actual inhabitant of dravidans and it was part of tamil country for several millenniums and please don’t confuse it with the Indian tea planters who have settled over there few centuries before. Just like wage workers transported between regions, they were also transported which by no means will blow the fact that tamils were the natives of srilanka and it was part of tamil country and so of course it is part of India. Buddhism came in to picture through back door as christianity came to India. All low caste Tamil Hindus were convinced to convert to Buddhism just like christians who did the same to hinduism. all buddhists in srilanka hate hindus (tamils ) at all costs just like christians to hinduism. In srilanka, Hindus and Hindu temples were destroyed. More than 1800 great architectural temples which were old as 2000 to 6000 years were totally destroyed during the recent genocide against hindu tamils. Kindly being a devoted hindu, give your voice against genocide by racial singhala buddhists. Never believe the fact ( even in wikipedia) that buddhism was the actual religion in srilanka. It is sainavism ( Hinduism) which was a predominant religion in srilanka and this land has been referred as favourite land of lord shiva in ancient tamil texts. We have extraordinary temples of Lord shiva which was buit by the Great Cholas in srilanka. Of course most of them were destroyed but still the point is srilanka natural inhabitants were hindu tamils only and not that tamils migrated as Tea planters, which is a disastrous and meaningless thought. It is true that Tamils from India went over there as tea planters but even much more before that, several millieniums before tamils were living there and tamils were the actual and ancient inhabitants in the place. I see lot of hindus making their posts in the forum. I request everybody to voice their concern about the hindu tamils life in srilanka. Morethan 1,00,000 hindu tamils were killed in recent war and srilanka is trying every possible ways to make it as a buddhist country which obviously it is not. It has exercised his influence also in wikipedia to make it’s viewers believe that srilanka is a buddhist country. When Tamil hindus have ruled allover Tamil Nadu, they by no means would have allowed or would have got defeated to leave their land to go under buddhist people. Buddhism came in the land only through conversions through buddhish monks and montesaries. The cholas and pandiyas were hindu rulers of the place and buddhist never had any great ruler for the land. This is a proven evidence that these places were all tamil hindus. Apart from sanskrit, prakrit and pali, Tamil is also a sacred language for Hindus in this part of the country. Again don’t confuse it with Hindi which originated during mughal rules, few centuries back and also remember these regions were not under any msulim influence. Kindly voice the concern for the fellow tamil hindus who were not allowed to celebarate any hindu festivals in srilanka, either diwali or ganesh or Krishan jayanthi. These natives were oppressed by singhala racist biddhist by depriving of jobs, education etc by way of constitutional amendments. Indian way of democracy was nowhere existing here and fighting against constitution racism was the only option for the people. If we don’t raise our voices now, sooner we Indian Hindus will face the same scenario. While most of Indians will be converted to christianity, buddhism ( already 1 lakh converted at a single stage in maharastra by Ambedkar) and day will come where all we Indian hindus will be minorities and by constitutiona amendments will loose all our fundamental rights and will loose rights in Jobs and education. Already we are seeing the symptoms of this in our country. So kindly unify and try to gather further informations via internet r magazines about our Hindu tamils in srilanka . Their history to presenet living pathetic conditions in srilanka. If we don’t raise our voice, remember then no one will do it for them and also no one will raise any voice if the scenarios happened as similar in srilanka in India. Jai Hind
I have strong belief about the anciant India. The proofs are there to prove the stories of Hindu mythologies. I would request that this should be taken in to the world Heritage and should be protected.
Hi,
I am Muslim but i do belive in Hinduisum as well as my own religion, i belive since human kind started GOD Sent 124K Prophets to Earth from time to time to teach ppl on earth what is the right path, some became Christn some became Jews(Moses) n some Hindu and muslim, anyway i have read Ramayan, such a Great Book , i think if we wana make sure about this bridge we can just take part of that bridge and get Forensic tests,, to find out if Stones came from someowhere else or they were there ,, simple solution ,,, why we are fighting here for something we really dont know ,, if God did Mircle millions of yrs ago i am sure to prove his mircle he must have left soemthing for us to find out ….
Thanks for the peace-making comment, but it is pointless. If prophets from God all disagreed with one another–some preaching Islam, some Christianity, some Hinduism, etc., then they were not all telling the truth. If they came from the same God they would teach the same things about God. Claiming that all religions are true is popular these days, but it is senseless, because all religions disagree with one another. There aren’t many contradictory truths. There is truth, and there are lies. Many lies; one truth. If that was not true, science would be impossible, so the test you mentioned would not work.
Forensic tests would not prove anything concerning the stones. If they were local or from another part of the planet, it would not prove they formed a bridge or that they were part of some mythical miracle. Rocks that float can travel by water on their own through ocean currents and rivers and floods, etc. Also, even if they formed a bridge, this would prove nothing other than the fact that a bridge existed. This does not prove that some mythical hindu demon-god built it. The Egyptians could say that Horus build the great Pyramid. I could claim that King Kong built the Empire State Building. That doesn’t make it true.
The argument isn’t over whether a bridge existed or not. But the satellite photo that is shown is a natural occurrence, not a man-made bridge. This article is complete bullshit, including the claimed “1,750,000″ year old inhabitants of Sri Lanka, which no scientist would vouch for. But uneducated, brainwashed people who read this garbage do not do their own research. They believe it because they want to believe it, and no common sense can convince them otherwise. That is why they believe that floating rocks are magical and that talking pictures of Sai Baba are miraculous: their primitive, uneducated minds do not understand the concept of buoyancy or computer effects.
Willful ignorance is their own problem. If they choose to use the brain God gave them, they would figure this stuff out.
Hi Jason,
Thoroughly enjoyed your desperate attempts to prove that you are a scientific atheist. N i really believe, u feel all religions are crap.
I totally don’t believe in mythology, be it indian or christian or islamic.
Just wanted to make a point which has be stated umpteenth number of times, Hinduism is not a religion, Its WAY OF LIFE. The modern perception of Hinduism has gone astray, but the fact remains, Hinduism is more about ideas, opinion and growth on the inside rather than the world around it.
I would not comment on authenticity of Ramayan n stuff ( cos it never happened), But ramayan is not about a god who was helped by monkeys to save his wife. Its far more philosophical n teaches lot of virtues in life, Most important of which is tolerance. Something which you totally don’t have towards others opinion. I feel sorry for you, you have been forced to see ramayan and mahabharat as God Stories by your parents or whoever N someone never tried to explain it to you the real meaning of these stories.
Heres a small difference between religion and belief, I would like to tell you. I bet you will never come across any Hindu (God) mythical deity which says, I am god, follow me or he is god, follow him. Compare that to Christianity ( as it seems to be a popular religion of this post!)
John 8:58 : Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
With Hinduism, if you understand it in its true sense, you are left with a tolerant, clean, non violent and beautiful way of living your life with total control. With others, well you end up believing Jesus is god and he will save you. No one will save you, you have to do that yourself and Hinduism tells you this very thing - Your are responsible and accountable for all your deeds.
Stop Being a fake atheist dude. Atheist who poke into religions are the biggest loosers on the face of the earth. Atheism is the art of finding true virtues of life without help of religion. Its definitely NOT the annoying habit of telling people their religion/beliefs are wrong.
You (like me ) take support of science to form your beliefs, while others take support of religion. Both ways you have to find the right way to spend your life. It doesn’t matter which way is correct(scientific) and which way is wrong, cos end of the day if your beliefs helped you live a happy n useful life then, whats the point of this fight anyways?
Cheers!
Excellent point Sohail. After all science is about proving a theory objectively through observation and testing, or subjectively through rationalitation and logic. I am a firm believer in the Absolute Truth, known to many as many different Holy names. Please correspond, i am interested in your views. Many thanks, tom.
A very good point to come out with the truth. I believe in all religions. I have read Bible, Quaran and I do read my religious books.If you see teh mythologies of hindu, christen or muslim. Every one has more or less similar sort of stories of formation of earth or the saving of humans by god. I feel during the years the the situation made them separate, and no religion teaches blood shed or hatred.
dear all…
I feel sorry for those of you who do not believe in Hinduism and Lord Ram. Obviously you are not destined to receive Krishna Consciousness. And for those of you who do believe, please do not waste your time trying to convince non believers. Let them rot in ignorance. I know it in my hearts that what i believe is true. That is enough for me, irresepective of other’s opinions. There is no need to give justifications. Ram built that bridge AND THAT’S IT.No second opinions invited, especially from ignorant westerners who dont even understand their own religion in depth. If they did, well….the world’s troubles would have been far less…..God is Great. Love you all.
That’s good ….
if you can recall the story of the Ramayan, we can all clearly remember it saying that in order for the stones and rocks to float in the water lord Rama had to write his name on every single one… why don’t we then embark on some diving missions to recover random rocks from this bridge to see if lord Rama is written on it ??
Let’s look at so called modern science. the body of a monkey changes into a human just like a cottage changes into a skyscraper or perhaps your Ford Fiesta changes into a BMW over night, sorry over millions of years? Is that really believable? A big bang which created the universe? By those measures the bomb over Hiroshima should have created houses, parks,and streets, all in perfect harmony. How laughable! And where did the ingredients from that big bang or cosmic soup come from? Modern so called science has no answers!
And what about the results of this so called wonderful techno and economic development? Sadly it has devastated this planet and is still doing till the bitter end. What are the benefits? Nil!
Better place your faith in the revealed scriptures than this so called scientific and economic development which is nothing more than madness. And India is sleep walking into this global Coca Cola culture. It will be a great disaster but they unfortunately do not see it. In any case the global economic system will collapse sooner or later. And so will any so called civilization which is based on money instead on culture.
Let’s not forget the real purpose of the human form of life. It is not only eating, sleeping, sex and fighting otherwise we are not different to dogs and cats. They also do that and we do it a bit more sophisticated, that’s all. It is animal consciousness, not human intelligence.
Human intelligence means to find out where we come from, where we go after death, what is the purpose and meaning of life. Sadly, if we so caught up in our scientific and economic development that we have no time asking those questions we are no better than dogs, cats and asses indeed, ready to take our next birth in the animal kingdom again instead of climbing up the evolutionary ladder and develop our spiritual self.
To all the people on this site, I think you have failed to realize the importance of this finding. Instead, of debating useless point of views about regilion and science. Maybe, you should consider that a bridge that is almost 2 million years old is linked to human history. A human myth states it in their text, and where all other history states that we only have been in this world for a 100,000 years this would make that false. There is really no doubt that this is a man-made bridge, a natural bridge this long would be like the one connecting North and South America together. There is a plain design to the bridge that suggest, a creator other than nature. What, you really should be talking about is that if they do find the hard evidence that this is a creation of humanity. How will that effect our society? Personally, all religions are crunches to the weak, their meaning lost in the vanity that I am better than you are. No religion is immuned to this vanity, so all religion are failures. Yet, all religion basically says the same thing, be a good person and do good. In that all religions are wonderful. I just wanted to point that out to Jason and Saurabh. This should be a debate about the bridge and weather it is natural or man-made. And, if the latter, what will that mean to the human race.
Om Namo Narayanaya!
I say “Hello” to all of you. I am part of Him and I realize very well my downfalls. Nevertheless, I’ll never give up. The Truth cleanses me. Let’s not judge the religion systems in the world. Let’s not judge ourselves. I write down these sentences now, because of the cooperation with God (whatever name you wish to lable Him with) I exist here and now. We have such abundance in human knowledge. If we don’t use it we will perish. It’s time to heal everything, everywhere - us (as thinking, acting, living) and the place where we all live, this beautiful planet Earth (all of its flora and fauna). To comprehend the meaning and truth about Rama’s bridge I imply we start erecting our own. Let its foundations are God on one side and we on the other!
God bless all !!!

Dear brothers and sisters,
Hinduism existed only for the past 5000 years but Sanatana dharma has been there since the origin of earth.Hinduism as it is being called now is a very scientific religion.Unfortunately the people couldn’t understand them or the message it tries to convey.Why?Jason, pay attention.If the ages of the bridge is correct scientfclly(1,750,000 years old)that means it had existed long before people learn to write or read using hardware.Can you tell us when paper was found?So,about 2 million years ago,it was impossible to teach people about science.Even now,how many can understand the theory behind the big bang or the black hole?The rishis or the educated people educated the people in the form of stories.The problem with Hindus and others is, they remember the story but they never try to get the message.
Einsten had mentioned hindu scriptures are the gold mines or the treasures of the scientific world.Why Einsten should say so?He found many things by researching the hindu scriptures.Hindus are lacking here.They don;t care about the message.They only care about the story.Jason, if you read this pls,check the scientific journal of Einsten and many other famous scientists.It will enlighten you.
I read the story and I try to find the messge behind it.Many Indian scientist must come forward to expose the treasure we have.
What a picture…..wooow….thats power of god…at last the truth revealed..

Hi everyone,
I just realized that we are trying to comprehend something which is beyond our scope. We cannot see the full spectrum of light nor are we capable of hearing the full gamut of sound. Rather we don’t even know what the full spectrum of light or sound is. Based on the stuff we know , we are trying to extrapolate and understand the universe. And extrapolation might not work always. Scientists have been clever in their choice of words. They speak about observable universe :).
Based on many stuff (eg:the big bang perfectly explains the abundance of helium and other nuclei like deuterium (an isotope of hydrogen) in the universe.), it has been overwhelmingly proved that the big bang is the beginning. However, it just explains the formation of observable universe. How do we know that it accounts for the unknown universe too? Some years later we might discover a compound/phenomena which can’t be explained by the big bang. We would never know till we get a complete picture.
The endeavors might be an exercise in futility, but it speaks volumes about the human mind.
( I don’t know how my comment is related to the topic at hand, I just felt like voicing my thoughts)
These photos are really so great ,I don’t have exact words to describe these extrordinary photos,its really a proudness for us to have seen these marvellous views created in those days when Sri Ramchandraji has stepped on this earth.
hi Dear Everyone…..
im from sri lanka . i have red ” ramayanaya ” book & intersested to serch about this anciant story . because there are so many evidencies in my country to prove this story . ( i think historians should give there attension to this story “ramayanaya” )
recently i could meet some fishermans in mannar area . ( mannar area is the gointed place this bridge to sri lanka ). that fishermans told me they dive in this sea area to see fishing areas. thay have seen this bridge & thay have gone about 1 or 2 mils in this in this bridge . thease fishermans told this bridge is not a natural one & its a made of man. thay told if any historiyans like to observe this bridge , they like to support them.
secondly there are so many anciant places in sri lanka regarding this ramayanaya story . as singhala peoples we belive king rawana is great empreor & aurwedic specialist . (I WORTE THIS LETTER BECAUSE ANY PERSON LIKE TO OBSERVE THIS ANCIANT STORY WE LIKE TO SUPORT THEM. IF WE CAN OPEN THIS ANCIANT ERA , WE CAN SEE INVISIBLE SIDE OF OUR WORLD)

Hi Freinds
I am canadian but born in england. Its big truth beleive it or not that hinduism is the oldest culture. I am student of history and telling the facts that all the religion come from hindusim.
I know some people a jelous of this religion. I am also jot hindu. But cannot hide the fact.
There is reason why british was sitting in india for soo long and we are only wealth only because we rule india.
I think some people need third eye to understand India and hindu..
Thanks to nasa.Now we can show our children the evidence of RAMAYANA,who have faith in GOD but ask for the proof.JAI SRI RAM
No other literature describes the existence of Only One God as beautifully as Veda does. Just see here.
Na dvitityo Na triyaschthurtho naapyuchyate|
N a panchamo Na shshtah sapthmo naapyuchyate|
Nashtamo Na navamo dashamo naapyuchyate|
Yagna yetham devamekavritham veda||
Sa sarvassai vi pashyathi yachha praanathi yachhana|
Tamidam nigatam sah sa yesha yeka yekavrideka yeva|
Ya yetham devamekavritham veda||
Atharva 13.4[2]19-20
There is no second God, nor a third, nor is even a fourth spoken of
There is no fifth God or a sixth nor is even a seventh mentioned.
There is no eighth God, nor a ninth. Nothing is spoken about a tenth even.
This unique power is in itself. That Lord is only one, the only omnipresent. It is one and the only one.
A more categorical, effective, emphatic and impressive refutation of polytheism cannot be imagined. The Vedas reject the multiplicity of Gods in the clearest possible terms and speak about One God, who is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient and absolutely and absolutely formless, who is ever unmanifest and who never assumes human forms or never descends on earth in any form- human or otherwise. Rig-Veda says “Vishwarkya vimana advihaya” meaning who he is not entangled by mind, omnipresent Lord is the Creator. He is both sustainer and protector too.
The God oversees the insensate and conscious world in a unique way. The entire world rests with him. He is “Yeshah yekah” i.e. only one. He is conscious, indivisible. He is Yekah yevah” Only one.
Where can be more clear assertion of existence of Only One God than this? After reading the description of God in this manner, Sri W.D.Brown writes,
It [Vedic Religion] recognizes but one God.
Vedas call upon to offer worship due only to God and no one else; to nothing else. It is clearly stated in Rig-Veda as under.
Ma chidanyad vishamsata Sakhyo ma rishanyatha|
Indramit srotha vrishanam sacha suthe
muhurukhya cha samshata||
Atharva 20.85.1
Friends! Do not praise and worship anything else, do not be doomed, praise and worship only the benevolent God Almighty, unitedly in this world, sing his glory, again and again.
Yeka yeva namasyo vikvidah| Atharva 2.2.1
Among all the men and women, there is only one. Who is worthy of adoration, and worthy of worship too.
Na tvaam anyo divyo na parthivo na jato na janishyathe|
Yajurveda 27.36
Oh God! There is nobody like you either in this world or the world beyond. No body equal to you is born as yet nor will be born ever in future also.
There are people who are under illusion that there are many Gods after coming across words like Indra, Agni, and Varuna etc. But these words that signify both God and things other than Gods should not mislead the seeker after truth’ with this purpose in view, the Vedas declare clearly:-
Indram Mitram varunamagnimaahuratho divyah sa suparno garuthmaan|
Yekham sadvipra bahudha vadantyagnim yamam maatarishwanamaahuh||
Rigveda 1.64.46
The real God is one, the enlightened ones, speak of Him in several ways, God is divine, the supreme protector and graceful sentient, the Universal soul. They call Him Indra, the Almighty, the universal friend [mitra]. Varuna the most acceptable and obliterator of sins, they describe Him as [agnim] the supreme guide of the Universe, {Yaman} the controller of the Universe, and {matarishvanam] the life of all lives.
So in other words, Indra, Agni, Yama, Suparna, Garuthman and others are different epithets for one and the same God[ though not exclusively, as the same words signify other entities too in different contests]. All doubts about the correctness of the unequivocal statement that the Vedas uphold only monotheism and not Polytheism are set at rest when we consider
Yo na pitah janitha vidhata dhamani veda bhuvanani vishwa|
Yo devaanam namadha yeka yeva tam samprashnam bhuvanam yantyanya||
Rigveda 10.82.3
All these several worlds, find ultimate refuge, in that curiosity-provoking, thought –arousing Lord who is our father and creator, who is , the maker of sacred injunctions and Knows all the abodes and worlds and finally who is only one assuming the names of different divinities.
Vedas describe only One God at all places. The advice is He alone should be praised and worshipped. He alone is the emperor of the Universe.
Yekho Vishwasya bhuvanasya rajah Rig-Veda 6.36.4
The Lord of the entire universe is one and one only.
Don’t forget.., this also proves that the Sri Lanka was an Independent country since the beginning of Indian History.!!
Please Stop trying to Prove something which is proven already..And Start to try understanding about your self..because you have very little time compare to the huge amount of wonderful things within you..
you want to say dat -
god is an indian??
God is one there is no doubt in it.Whenever there was a problem on earth,he born on earth and saved the people.’Rama’ is also an avatara of GOD.
The first signs of human inhabitants in Sri Lanka date back to the Stone Age, about 1.750.000 million years ago. These people are said to have come from the South of India and reached the Island through a land bridge connecting the Indian subcontinent to Sri Lanka named Adam’s Bridge. This is related so in the epic Hindu book of Ramayana.
You are conflicting in your words that the first signs of human …. they were came from south of india….
it mean that there were no Ravana and their ancestors befor this period.
AND
I hope the Adam’s bridge was built by floating rocks - am i correct??
hope so (as per hindu history)
but the bridge you see in the satellite image is under the water and it is developed (attached firly) naturally from the earth.
hope you know about Danuskodi which was destroyed (submerged) by natural calamity just few decades.
after 100+ years, people like you will say danuskodi was built by xxxx god for xxx purpose before 1 million years ago and you will show the satellite image like this.
WHAT IS TRUTH
Million years ago the Sri Lanka island was united with india geographically and seperated due to geo movement by nature.
please think practically not emotional.
Oh please…how can we trust that these pictures were not faked by NASA? They tried to fool us with the “moon landing”…now they want me to believe these images aren’t computer generated? I don’t think so.
ALL I WANT TO SAY IS I AM AN INDIAN AND I AM PROUD TO BE AN INDIAN “JAI JAWAN JAI KISSAN JAI RAM”
hi everybody
by seeing all u r discussion and these pictures somebody told that rama not built that bridge they said that naturally formed, we believe that the rama bulit that bridge why means we are believing that rama that who are not believing rama
for them it wouldn’t looks likes that first tries to believe rama then u may get answer
Hey guys… just dont fight with each other… we all see them under google earth also… right?… it is not about religion. If the scientists declare that it is human made, then we all need to be proud of it, that such civilization/technology existed in those days…. I am very proud, aren’t you all??????
JAI SHRI RAM HELLO EVERYONE. I AM GLAD EVERYONE IS SO DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE GREAT LORDS WORK.
INDEED, HISTORY PROVES THAT THAT BRIDGE IS NO OTHER THAN RAM SATU BRIDGE. VALMIKI RISHI THE AUTHOR OF THE SANSKRIT RAMAYAN ENDORSED THAT BHAGAVAN RAM, HANUMANJI AND THE HOST OF VANARA HAD BUILT THAT BRIDGE. HIS WRITING IS SIGNIFICANT PROOF BECAUSE HE WAS PRESENT IN THAT AGE OF TREATER YUG. ALL RELIGIONS HAS A HISTORY ON SOME SORT. WE MUST RESPECT THAT.
THAT BRIDE WAS BUILT FOR A SPECIAL PURPOSE, TO BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN GOOD (INTELLECT) AND EVIL(MIND) INDIA REP. GOOD BECAUSE THE LORD HAS MANIFEST ON THAT PRECIOUS LAND AND TRAVEL TO LANKA USING THE BRIDGE AND DESTROYED RAVANA THE EVIL MIND. THE EVIL IS NO MORE IN LANKA.
LETS USED OUR INTELLECT TO CONTROL OUR EVIL MIND OR WE WILL BECOME LIKE JASON. WHO IS LESS OF A HUMAN TO USE VENOMOUS WORDS TO ADDRESS A RELIGION. NO ONE SHOULD SPEAK ILL OF ANOTHER RELIGION. ALL RELIGION LEADS MAN TO THE SAME DESTINATION. GOD. IF YOU DO, THEN YOU ARE DOOMED.
GOD BLESS
I’ve been there…But had to see it from a distance…Its Beautiful.
And Yes I take it as miracle,because Science,Physics cannot prove everything.
Though its not floating now,water levels have increased.So is the Global warming.This could be one of the reason for it.
And for the people who posted against the History of this Brigde,It’s not matter of Education but of culture and Religion.
We indians are known for our diversity in culture..and others should respect that because we do!
