•On January 4th 1912, the sun and the moon lined up
with the earth in such a way that their combined gravity
led to a cycle of unusually high and low tides.
•At almost exactly the same, the moon just happened to
make its closest approach to earth in 1,400 years. This
made the Lunar gravitational pull on the earth unusually
strong.
•On Jan 3rd, the earth made its closest approach to the
sun, which happens every year at this time. That meant
that solar gravity was stronger than usual too.
•So the tides on Jan. 4 were not just high, but higher
than they'd been in many hundreds of years.
This phenomenon allegedly led to something. What?

80. 18) Lord Rama had sent Sita to the forest when she was pregnant
and lived in Saint Valmiki's Ashram.
While in the Ashram, She brought a male heir of Rama to the
world.
One day when she was going out for some chores of the
Ashram, she asked the Saint to take care of her child in the cradle.
The Saint was watching the child and meanwhile went into a deep
meditation. When Sita returned, she found that the Saint was in
meditation and didn't want to disturb him to tell him that she was
taking her child.
When the Saint was out of the meditation, he found the child
missing. So he put some holy grass (Dherbai) in the cradle and
with his mantra he made that as a child.
Later when he found that Sita was having her real child, he was so
confused and asked Sita to treat the new baby also as her own
child.

81. When Sita was returning to Rama, he was expecting
only one male heir. But to his astonishment, he found
two boys (Lavan and Kushan) approaching him. Again to
test the purity of the boys, he set a fire and asked the
boys to cross the fire to reach him. He told that
whoever was his real heir would cross the fire
unscathed. Unknowingly the boy brought up by the
Saint, stuck in the middle of the fire and burnt his body
becoming very dark.
Finally, Rama got to know what had happened in the
forest to have two boys instead of one. Then he blessed
the burnt boy to become his escort god and called him
“_______” which became X. X?
