When I wrote:
'Symbolisms in the Ramayana' (it is up for free perusal under 'books' on www.dalsabzi.com
Both Sri Ram Kinkarji and Sri Morari Bapu (who gave me their blessings in writing) insisted that I mention that though I have written the symbolic aspects...Sri Ram was a historical figure....
ON the 14th of November I had the good luck of attending a session where I got to do the darshan of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
I felt really blessed.
I heard Mr D.K. Hari speak. He feels:
In recent times, there has been a public debate raging on about the Rama Setu in which different sections of the population have taken different stands ranging from faith to commerce to environment. This has opened a debate on the historicity of Lord Rama since only if Rama is historical, can the bridge be man made.
Literature and Local Legends have continued to keep alive the image of Rama as a popular legendary hero, a righteous man, a noble King, a God. The conviction about the historicity of Rama, is based upon the ability to date Rama and the Rama Setu, to around 5200 BCE, ie 7200 years ago using traditional methods and validate the date scientifically too.

Far too many Hindus use the words Mythological to describe what is obviously a historical account of Rama and Krishna.
I predicted that our historical accounts will not be taken seriously and started a campaign to rid the Hindus websites of the world Mythological back in March 2007.
Out of the many websites I wrote to only ONE saw sense and changed their wordings.
Off course as predicted a few moths later we had our own Government denying Rama.
Even the Bhagvad Gita is often described as symbolic!
How can you say a war did not take place when it’s a historical account of real battle!
Commentators go at great lengths to describe it as a war of the minds instead of the real physical battle that took place on the ground. One day they will deny Krishna and call Bhagvad Gita a book of fairy tales!
