Most people see history and mythology as two separate things. But what if they were never meant to be apart? Jijith Nadumuri Ravi, a former ISRO scientist who worked on Chandrayaan-1 and was appreciated by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, is now solving one of India’s biggest historical puzzles.
His Geo-Chronology Series—which includes Rivers of Rigveda, Geography of Ramayana, and Geography of Mahabharata (Vol 1 & 2)—connects the dots between India’s ancient past and recorded history. Through years of research, he has mapped out real locations, identified forgotten timelines, and brought scientific clarity to stories many consider myths.
Why He Wrote These Books
Indian history, as we know it today, usually starts with dynasties like the Mauryas, Nandas, and Guptas. The kings and events mentioned in the Vedas, Ramayana, and Mahabharata are often labeled as mythology. But this creates an odd situation—the grandfather of a well-documented king is called a myth!
Jijith wanted to fix this gap. His books connect ancient kings with historical rulers and show how Indian civilization grew over time instead of appearing out of nowhere.
A Research Journey Like No Other
Writing these books was no ordinary task. It took five years of deep research, and three times more effort than a regular book. Here’s what went into it:
- Studying 110,000 Sanskrit verses from ancient texts.
- Using satellite maps, historical maps, and Google Maps to find real places from the epics.
- Creating hundreds of new maps that show the movement of kings, armies, and civilizations.
This effort led to over 100 new discoveries that help us understand India’s past in a way no one has before.
What These Books Reveal
Jijith’s books are not just history—they are complete timelines of ancient India. They answer some big questions, like:
- What was the time gap between the Rigvedic kings, Sri Rama, and the Pandavas?
- Who were the common figures that lived during both the Ramayana and Mahabharata periods?
- How did the Vedic civilization grow and evolve into later Indian kingdoms?
By matching mythology with history, he shows a continuous timeline from the earliest Vedic period to well-known historical dynasties like the Mauryas, Sungas, and Guptas.
Why His Work Stands Out
Many researchers have studied Indian history, but no one has mapped it out this clearly. Jijith’s books are different because:
- They are backed by real geography—not just theories.
- They connect different time periods into a single, easy-to-follow history.
- They bring clarity to India’s ancient past like never before.
What’s Next?
Jijith is now working on his next book—a deep dive into Sanatana Dharma. While researching ancient texts, he found many important lessons about Dharma and the future of humanity. His new book will use both ancient wisdom and modern science to show how Sanatana Dharma can guide us into the age of space exploration.
A Must-Read for Every History Lover
If you’ve ever been curious about the real history behind India’s great epics, Jijith Nadumuri Ravi’s books are a must-read. His work is changing the way people see India’s past, turning myths into history and history into a story we can all understand.
