Lord Rama is the epitome of Ideal Man. He has been the icon of dharma for large set of population. But the central government dropped a petition in SC stating that Lord Rama is a myth and his story is only a fiction. It took the support of Archeological Survey of India that stated that there are no archeological evidences found in support of the existence of Lord Rama. But is a mere non-availability of archaeological evidence enough to declare that Lord Rama is a myth? Rama's story took place way back eons that today's archeology cannot touch the traces of it.
Let me share some things said by our ancient sages during the calculation of time. They have no calculators to count numbers to fractions, no telescopes to look into space and no microscope to examine the cells and atoms. But still they were successful in naming nine planets, knowing the nature of sun and moon, classifying a year into twelve months, and dividing each month into two equal halves as 'Krisna Paksha' and 'Sukla Paksha' and in turn the same month into four weeks. The same was adopted by English calendar as well although the beginning of the year varies. Sages could accomplish all this with their invincible thought power and clairvoyance.
Now coming to the point the same sages broadly classified the time into 4 yugas.
Kritha Yuga- 34,56,000 years Treta Yuga- 17,28,000 years Dwapara Yuga- 8,64,000 years Kaliyuga- span of 4,32,000 years
We are in Kaliyuga and completed 5107 years as on 2007 AD, March.

Read that and your ignorance will be removed. You are probably a Xtian who believes that the universe was created in 7 days some 5000 years ago? Thus, anything that happened more than 5000 years ago is a myth, right? Well, maybe that is the limit of your peanut sized brain.
