Hi all of you,

I just found this in Blavatsky's book "Isis Unveiled":


"[[Vol. 2, Page]] 436 ISIS UNVEILED.
We would remind the reader in this connection, that Ravan, the giant, who, in the Ramayana, wages such a war with Rama Chandra, is shown as King of Lanka, which was the ancient name for Ceylon; and that Ceylon, in those days, perhaps formed part of the main-land of Southern India, and was peopled by the "Eastern AEthiopians." Conquered by Rama, the son of Dasarata, the Solar King of ancient Oude, a colony of these emigrated to Northern Africa. If, as many suspect, Homer's Iliad and much of his account of the Trojan war is plagiarized from the Ramayana, then the traditions which served as a basis for the latter must date from a tremendous antiquity. Ample margin is thus left in pre-chronological history for a period, during which the "Eastern AEthiopians" might have established the hypothetical Mizraic colony, with their high Indian civilization and arts. "



Question 1:
So the city of Troj-a has to be discovered at Ceylon or Sri Lanka ?
Where exactly ?



Question 2:
One could ask : Has this "Rama Chandra" anything to do with the present day organization 
"Rama Chandra Mission" (http://www.srcm.org ) ?

Question 3:
Has and there ever been a meeting or important contacts between Theosophical Society and "Rama Chandra Mission" (http://www.srcm.org ) ?



Feel completly free to do your best.
