@Shruthi: Good post.
I have a doubt. Its Vishwamitra who created the gayathri mantra but Valmiki Ramayan consists of the word for every 1000 Slokas. Valmiki wrote (infact rendered) Ramayan before it actually took place.
In that case, it means Vishwamitra already had the daughter shakunthala from menaka. So how about the connectivity of his grand son great King Bharath in the context of Ramayan. Because he was the starting point for MB.
I am confused with the time period of Shakunthala son bharath.

@jayashree thanks a lot. I knew you will be able to shed more light on Gayatri Mantra than me and I am really happy to know that you have put things in better perspective especially the point that it is better to hear chanting than reading the mantra
@savitha thank you for ascertaining my POV.

@Ramya dear your question itself is confusing to me. Valmiki wrote the Ramayan after it happened right. And Viswamitra became brahamarishi before Ramayan story.

So Bharat would have been born before Ramayana time is your question? As before becoming Brahmarishi Vishwamitra had the child Shakuntala and Bharat through her.

Now does the story of Bharat start only in Dwapar Yuga, or it begins in Tetrayuga. Asking because I am confused about stories in this front.

Another interesting thing you would be surprised to know that the Sun-Earth distance is roughly 108 Sun diameters and the diameter of the Sun itself is 108 times that of Earth.

Very nice. One more beauty of the no 9 is: add any no to it and bring it to single digit it will be that added number only.
eg 95=>9+5=14=>1+4=>5
981=>9+8+1=>18=>9 (8+1=9 retained)
9342=> 9+3+4+2=18=>9 (3+4+2=>9)
It simply means no 9 retains the originality of the added no.

Valmiki got the gyan from narad and rendered the Ramayan before even it took place. He became a part in it during sita banishment.
But bharath (viswamitra's grandson) should be born at the end of tetra yug to match MB. But as this GM is created by him just before getting brahmarishi title and the slokas in ramayan matching GM, I am in confused state now reg time period.

@GM is not created by Vishwamitra, it was revealed to him first. That's what Brahma told yesterday and that is what even wiki states.
Now coming to time period. Time periods of Tetra yug were different from ours right. People lived very long during those times. So we never know when Shakuntala married Dusyantha and had the child.

@Shruthi: I know there is a huge diff in time b/w yugs, but Shakuntala and dushyanta story seems not to fit with this GM concept. Not yet clear for me.
