Do u believe that Rama Sethu was built under the guidance of Lord Rama? For those who have no idea of it... It is a strait connecting south eastern coast of tamil nadu and north western coast of Sri Lanka...It is made up of limestone shoals.

I am a Hindu and I firmly believe that ShriRam Sethu was built by the army of Lord ShriRam in order to attack Ravana. Scientists have already proved that the bridge was man made and not natural.There is no evidence of any oceanic way between the two countries,India and ShriLanka.The only description of the construction of such a bridge is found in the Ramayan.How can we overrule such an evidence? The bridge should not be broken at any cost.It is our greatest cultural heritage we have inherited from the tallest personality of our history. [ I firmly believe that ShriRam was a historic character,not a myth.

Yes else... i ALWAYS BELEIVE IN THE EXISYTENCE OF THE LORD ON OUR HOLY LAND... This is a solid proof to all those Atheists... The discovery of Rama sethu by NASA confirms the Hindhu scriptures and that Ramayana is a history and not a myth.. It should definitely be considered as a national pride and property and not destroyed...I condemn those who are planning to demolish this historic piece...

I fully agree with you,lekhya.Lord ShriRam was a historic personality,not a myth.He has left an everlasting impression on our psyche.We will never allow the demolition of the bridge built by Him.

I just believe that Lord ShriRam was a historic character and whatever is written in the Ramayan had really taken place.Ram Sethu is our greatest cultural heritage that should be protected at any cost.I fully agree with what you have written.

The construction of Rama Sethu which facilitated Rama's troops to cross the coastline border across the Arabian Sea is all mythical descriptions enunciated in the great Indian epic, Ramayana. It is believed that the bridge took enormous amount of human labor for its finishing.

Not across the Arabian sea,sukumar,across the Indian ocean.The bridge is man made.The only description of the construction of such a bridge is found in Ramayan,and this evidence cannot be ruled out.

Valmiki who has narrated the great epic ramayana clearly mentioned the existence of rama sethu in his scripture... And we all how ancient was the epic and the sethu were... This is a solid proof of the existence of Rama,clarifying that he is not a mythical man...

Ramasethu, according to Ramayana is believed to have been constructed by the army commandeered by Sugreeva, King of Kishkinda in order to help Rama find his consort Sita, who was abducted by Ravana, king of Lanka. The Story, as written by Valmiki goes back to nearly 9000 years as per the studies in recent years. Recent satellite photos show an amazing man-made construction submerged under the seawater from Dhanushkodi, India and Sri Lanka.

Yes,Ramasethu is constructed by the army of Sugreeva(brother of Vali)with the help of vanara sena,to cross the indian ocean in order to reach Lanka and protect the abducted Sita... It is an amazing masterpiece...and a real wonder

Yes,dupremo is right,not 9000 yrs,its more than 17 lakh yrs... And the sethu dates of that period,which is clearly evident of the existence of Rama
