Doubts and Discussions from the Ramayan II - Page 12

Vibs

The only divine act that Rama performed prior to meeting Parashuram was reviving Ahalya! One has got to admit that this was a feat unachievable by normal humans: therefore, Parashurama's avatar must have ended long before, maybe when Rishi Kashyap asked him to end his genocide of Kshatriyas. Also, in 1-15-18:21, Brahma clearly asks Vishnu to take birth as humans. Vishnu in response tells them that he will reside in the human world and rule it for 11000 years 1-15-27:30.

Your other explanation about why the devas would want Rama back despite Vishnu being in Vaikuntha does sound credible. I'm however not sure that I'm totally convinced. If Vishnu could clone himself in different places and make everyone happy, who would have objected, and more importanly, would such an objection have been sustained?

Nice explanation Vibhishna.👏 I liked your reasons for the Devas calling back Ram.

I will continue to discuss the more credible parts of the episode here, and reserve the discussion of the fictional stuff for the written updates, whenever they appear. That way, this forum won't look insane🤪🤪🤪

In today's episode, there was a really sweet and touching moment😍 Rama was standing above an open fish pool and feeding the fishes (a lovely innovation in treta yuga Ayodhya 😆😆😆) Then he sees an image of Sita in the pool worrying and asking him about how she would manage the kids. In Laksman's room, Lakshman is feeding his kids😍😍😍 (wonder why no Urmila there? But I won't wonder why she isn't doing the feeding, lest I be accused of male chauvanism/sexism/patriarchy 😵) Rama comes in and Lakshman washes his hand, gets up and asks Rama what's up. He asks Rama if he is supressing his feelings, or hiding something, and Rama tells him that he never hides anything from him. Then one of Lakshman's kids asks why bada-pita hasn't eaten, while the other kid triumphantly tells Lakshman that he has finished eating. Rama then has a special request for Lakshman - he asks him to look after Angad and Chandraketu well.😍

Those Urmila-nandan kids today looked soooooo cute😍😍😍 Hope to see photos of them in one of the clubs. (This is one of the things on my wish list that the Sagars listened to, so thanks for small mercies👏👏👏)

Coming to the discussion of Avatar, I have this from the internet: God can become incarnate in many places at the same time through "partial" avatars (amshas), while the main form from which the avatars emanate remains entirely "full" and can converse with the "partial" forms.

I guess this is the case that has been shown ie VL in Vaikunth and RS in Bhulok, Vishnu conversing with Sita et all.

Reg. Mohini, I feel Mohini decieving Asuras & Shiva Mohini drama may have occurred in sequence and the Bhasmasur story would have been separate. Shiva knowing how enticing Vishnu was as Mohini may have sought His help wrt Bhasmasur.

This is all I know. But it got me thinking as to wheether Shabhari Hill was named after Shabhari as Ram and Lakshman met her near the river Pamba (or Pampa). Did she live there before all this happened? What was the time frame for all these events? The Shabhari Hill (Sabari Malai) is in present day Kerala.
