29 May written - Sita's golden statue to be made - Page 3

hi guys in a tamil ramayan movie in the 70's they also show that sitaji doing such virat. not sure its the same mentioned by sagars.
in tamil they showed that sitaji was interupted during the finish of the virat by hanumanji.he says that luv and kush arefighting their father ramji ,so sitaji without completing the virat rushes to the place where they were fighting to stop the war.they also showed that due to incompletion of the virat sitaji's life was in danger. don't know which one is true sagars or the other versions of ramayan.😕
did'nt see the episode.
thanks for the update Avinash bhaiya.

Bharat's conquest of Gandhar and Shambuka's story should be shown. Yes Shambuka is a tricky issue but that is no excuse for the Sagars to shy away from showing it. Unlike many other things they've shown, this is something that is in the Valmiki text itself. So why avoid that issue?

As for versions, there are literally hundreds of different versions of the epic. So many different interpretations, so many different incidents. Fascinating stuff. 😊

There are 2 reasons why it's not a good idea to show the Shambhuka story:

1. Its authenticity as a part of the orginal Ramayan is questionable. Same goes for the Kalapathi of Kalanjar dog story, as well as for the part near the end about K-L singing the balance of the Ramayan after watching their mother pass away.

2. More importantly, such a story, if shown, would need to be shown in the proper context of Shambhuka having divine ambitions of getting Indra's throne & power, not merely wanting to break out of a caste-constrained limitation, real or imagined. Given the way the Sagars have distorted so many messages, I don't trust them as being capable of this.

Bharat's conquest of Gandhara should be shown, as that was what started the transition of power from Rama to his nephews and sons, post the death of the 3 rajmatas (and presumably Sita's sisters). But if these guys are showing the script from Ananda Ramayan, I doubt that they'll show it that way. This is not to say that I don't want the conquest of Gandhara shown - I do. But then again, I wanted an authnetic Valmiki to be shown for this stretch of the serial, which they didn't follow.

Authenticity does not appear to be a high priority for this show. Otherwise why include Jataka tales, Ahiravan/Mahiravan (which are later regional additions) and so on and so forth? 😆

Also, there is much even in the Valmiki text that is debatable in terms of authenticity. Volumes have been written debating various aspects of the epic back and forth. But that is an entirely separate issue and well beyond the scope of this serial. Sagars are about dragging shows for as long as possible, not good scripts.

Instead of serial makers arbitrarily taking one particular stance in these debates of authenticity, I'd like to see a complete adaptation of the Valmiki text (using as many versions of the Valmiki text as possible) from start to finish. Without bias or political correctness. That would be ideal. They can add a disclaimer that there are questions of authenticity on so and so part of the show. I mean, just for once I want to see the complete and purely Valmiki text on screen without additions or omissions.

Since there is no sign of a serial promising to do this, I guess we'll have to settle for the Sagars. I would like to see their take on it. I mean, after adding so many other things to the serial, it seems rather incomplete to leave this out.

Going back to the authenticity issue, I can think of another more radical approach: gather a group of academics (historians, anthropologists, etc) and attempt to reconstruct the original events that inspired all these legends, including the Valmiki version, stripping all supernatural/fantastical elements from the story. This would be more of a docudrama than a drama serial like the one we are watching right now. This kind of a show would be an ideal companion piece to my dream of an anthology program dealing with the different versions of the epic (I talked about that in another thread). However, I think that would be highly controversial and not very likely to be ever attempted. 😔

i loved the epi
