Veda Vidnyana Mandala, Pune is an institute founded in 1976 by Dr. PV Vartak, the Late sri M.B Pant and the Late Wrangler Sri G.L. Chandratreya to promote research in the ancient Indian Sciences.

Dr. P.V. Vartak has done great work on the historicity of the Mahabharata. He has established that Bheema is the hero of the epic Mahabharata. He established the dates of almost sixty incidents from the Mahabharata depending on Astromathematics and has shown how advanced Science was then. He published his Marathi book "Swayambhu' on this topic in 1971. It was highly appreciated by all. As the book was in Marathi its readership was limited. Many people requested him to bring it out in English. Dr.Vartak had read many papers on the Mahabharata in many conferences. Looking at the popularity and earnestness of his research, the Veda Vidnyana Mandala published his research paper The Scientific Dating of the Mahabharata War in 1989. The Mandal supplied its copies free to many institutions, Universities and scholars. The response was satisfactory. About ninety scholars appreciated that hook and requested to publish Dr. Vartak's research on the Ramayana and the Vedas, as well.

People, in general, only know that Rama was born on the ninth day of the bright half of the Lunar month Chaitra. But in which year? How many years ago? Nobody knew the year or even the century in which Rama was born. Many scholars claim that Rama is a historical person, but they have not been able to decide his historicity and produce record of his time. The Ramayana, world's first epic that narrates his life history does not give any date, opined the scholars. The western scholars taught us that our ancestors in India did not have the sense of history and our scholars accepted that view blindly.
