Ramsevak Kol, a tribe from the Sidhi district of Madhya Pradesh, stands head and shoulders above other Indians. Genetic studies prove that he is one of the descendants of King Guha of Ramayana. An international team of researchers consisting of
- geneticists,
- anthropologists,
- archaeologists and
- historians
The Kol tribe, found mainly in areas like Mirzapur, Varanasi, Banda and Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh, are the descendants of the Kol mentioned in Ramayana, according to Dr Chaubey and his team. Remember Guha, the chieftain of Sringiverapuram who helped Lord Rama, Sita and Laksmana cross the Ganga during their journey to the forests? “Guha, the Nishad King, is the ancestor of the present day Kol tribe we found in these regions. This ancestry was established by genetic studies. These groups of people carry the basic indigenous genetic traits of India. Ramsevak and thousands like him spread across the States of UP, MP, Odisha, Chhattisgargh are the true descendants of Lord Rama and his contemporaries,” Dr Chaubey told The Pioneer from Tartu in Estonia via video conferencing.
Dr Chaubey and Prof VR Rao, an anthropologist in Delhi University, said that the studies proved that these groups of people have maintained their genetic continuity for more than 10,000 years. “This again sets at rest the Aryan invasion theory. There is no inflow into the genetic traits of these tribes from outside elements,” said Saroj Bala, a specialist in Vedic and Ramayana studies, who shot into fame by calculating the date of birth of Lord Rama based on planetary positions.
Prof Rao said the studies confirmed that the characters mentioned by Valmiki in Ramayana are real life characters. “King Dasaratha, Rama and others were not fictional characters,” he said. Dr S Kalyanaraman, an Indologist of repute, said the Kols are the iron smelters about whom there are mentions in Indus Script excavated from the banks of Indus as well as River Saraswathi.
“This paper by Gyaneswer Chaube and team is an attempt to explain the roots of Hindu civilisation which has been distorted by creating false ethnic identities by the categorisation of people,” said Dr Kalyanaraman. He said a comprehensive study incorporating all tribes should be undertaken which would prove that the breaking up of essential unity of Bharatiya identity based on caste and ethnicity are academic fiction with no basis and a distortion of the history of ancient India.
When Supreme Lord Rama was exiled for 14 years, he left the kingdom of Ayodhya, along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. They had to cross the River Ganges at one place. They requested Kevat (the boatman) to ferry them across the river.
The boatman first refused to do so.
He said, “I have heard that there is magic in the dust of your feet. By the touch of your feet, a stone can change into a woman.”
(Lord Rama had touched a stone with His feet and it caused Ahalya to be relieved from her curse and get restored to her original form of a woman. Kevat made a reference to that incident here.)
Kevat continued, “The dust of your feet may touch my boat, and transform it into a woman. This boat of mine is my only means of livelihood and feeds my family. If you allow me to wash your feet first, then I can give you a seat in my boat.”
Lord Rama smiled at this request and allowed Kevat to wash His feet. Kevat by his simple manner, thus achieved what great sages and seers could not achieve even after years of penance. It is said that God can be secured with love alone. Further, one should only love God exclusively; a lover of worldly objects has to cry in the end.
After washing the Lord’s feet, Kevat ferried them across the river. As soon as they alighted from the boat, Ma Sita immediately withdrew a ring from her finger and handed it over to Lord Rama, signaling to him to pass it on to the boatman.
Lord Rama: Here Brother, that is all we can pay you for your kind service. Please accept it.
Kevat: (Shaking his head). No, My Lord! I can not possibly accept this from you.
Lord Rama: Why?
Kevat: Because people of the same profession do not charge each other for their services. A barber never takes payment, when he gives a haircut to another barber. Even a washer-man never charges a fellow washer-man.
Lord Rama: Brother, how can you and I be of the same profession? You are a boatman and I am….
Kevat: Lord, both of us do the same work. I ferry people from this shore of the Ganges to the other. You ferry people across the ocean of Samsaara (Bhav-sagar), through the journey of life.
How can I accept payment from you? Prabhu! I don’t want anything. But please, as I have made you cross this river today, when my time comes, take me across sansaar saagar [the ocean of life]. That would be your return to me.
The Lord was so overwhelmed at this devotional request from Kevat, that he held out his arms and embraced the boatman. Later, the expert ferryman was delivered from the cycle of birth and death just because of this little service done unto the Supreme Lord!
The Merciful Lord comes Himself or sends His devotees (saints) to show us the right direction. As soon as Arjuna accepted Lord Krishna as his guide, Lord's perfect instructions lead him to victory and fame. Little service rendered to the merciful Supreme Lord would please Him and He would hold the reins of the chariot of our life. And, when the Supreme Lord would be our guide, would there be any doubt in our victory on the path of life?
Let's act smartly like this expert ferryman. Let's do some devotional service unto Supreme Lord Hari. That way reaching the ultimate perfection in life would be assured.
