Ramsetu Man-made / Natural ?

‘Ram Setu’ and ‘Lost River Sarasvati’ represent one civilization which is Vedic. Sarasvati’s revival is certain, but what is not certain is the preservation of Ram Setu, an issue which is mired in controversy.
_______________________________________________________

How do the Scientists look at it ? Following institutions have time and again reported that Ram Setu is a man-made structure and not a natural formation. To name a few – ISRO, NASA, NIOT, BARC, Geological survey of India, Marine Analytical References of Standards Trivendram, Marine Archaeology Department (Goa) & NRSA.

Why are their Heads so positive to save Ram Setu ? A few names referred to here are world renowned authorities in their fields. Dr. Madhavan, Dr. S. Kalyanaraman, Dr. S. Badrinarayan, Dr. P.K. Banerjee, Prof. Tad S. Murthy, Prof C.S.P. Iyer and Dr. S.R. Rao. It is very interesting to know their findings which are based on their scientific research.

The structure of the Ram Setu is the basis of all analysis. This is a very precise observation. Dr. S. Badrinarayan former Director of Geological Survey of India was deputed as an Advisor during 2004 to give a conclusive report on his own findings, to the centre. The basis of his research was – The man-made structures have different diagonals from naturally formed one, which can neatly be shot with eyes of the satellite cameras (ISRO, NASA) and also Marine cameras.

These geological observations told him that out of 4 boreholes alongside the sands that go shifting and other six in the waters of the Setu track, every six meters, he found marine sands on top and assemblage of coral waste. Still down the layer, Calcareous (calcium) sand stones were fixed and the boulder like material got mixed with. Surprisingly below that up to 4-5 meters, Dr. Badrinarayan found loose sand. Stuck below was hard stone boulder formation. It was observed that layer after layer (five) of prearranged substance made it possible to spread the structure of 50 kilometer to float on the sea between India and Sri Lanka. The layers were formed of like loose sand – coral waste – lime stone (calcareous – calcium) – loose sand – hard boulders. Dr. Badrinarayan had noticed stone quarries of ancient time near Rameswaram and Pamban.
Dr. P.K. Banerjee, a world famous coral expert found the same formation. He found that the old corals in the structure were 7300 years old. The structure resembled mythological events concerning the Ramayana. Ram had got the Setu built to carry his army to Lanka.
And the best part of resemblance is matched with geological, geographical, historical, hydrological, topographic, meteorological findings listed below.
The Setu 30 miles long (50 kilometers) and 3 meters wide has same composition throughout. The sciences applied prove that by,

1] Imagery – Land sat satellite photography.

2] Marine photography of two sides of Setu and from the bottom.

3] Geological studies of upper and lower layers of sand surface and
rock water boring hole samples of 10 places chosen

4] Tsunami studies

5] Hydrological studies

6] Eco system and marine life tells us that 3600 rare species of flora & fauna exist in Palk Bay which are uncommon now but existed since time immemorial. (10,000 yrs ago)

7] Marine Bio sphere Reserve study was initiated by UNESCO in 1974 in view of the above.

8] The Govt. of India reserved 10,500 sq. km. area and 21 islands with continuous stretch of the coral reef (underwater tropical rain forest)

9] Hyderabad based National Remote sensing agency (NRSA) of department of space – The ancient bridge between India and Sri Lanka structurally suggests that it may be man-made (pg 39 Table book). It is made of chain of shoal which is an example of Ancient History linked to the Indian mythology – Ramayana, which says Lord Rama constructed the bridge to reach Lanka. The revelation has a foreward of ISRO chairman Dr. G. Madhavan Nair.

The ancient remains of Ram Setu if not preserved; we would loose our identity as a Vedic civilisation still living, we would lose our identity with our forefathers, our history, our values, and the track of our sciences. While hidden waters of Sarasvati are coming to life we should see to it that our Setu is properly looked after and not demolished.
