ans..to first ques...
epics are very meaningful for all of us..
they just not mere stories with stronger value.....but store the pool of gr8 knowledge which can be helpful in day today life....
they help in creating d/f b/w right or wrong.....the most imp..thing that we need to judge in our life....for me it stress buster too,....
hmm... the point that the epics contain we do need to analyze them...because what i feel..... most of the time we consider it a heroic deeds by some great personality...taking in a/c all the epics...but we really don't analyze what they hold in themselves...thts my personal belief....
but i think...now...we are analyzing that too...... not only over here....but as we can see some examples..in practical life too..many big institutions trying to install them as a part of syllabus....spl..considering the example of IIM tht they take the lesson from Mahabharat to give the lesson of leadership to students...
apart from practical life we need to consider what else we can take from..... these books
spl..in such situations.....might be lesson of Ram Rajya need to be given to our Govt..of India.....
many such things we can take from our scriptures.....
. i am here to know all those things only what they mean to us...and ring changes in my life....and i think i'm learning that too....
rest i'll answer soon..
