Your views on Uttar Ramayan part of the serial - Page 10

Okay, they are back to showing fiction - this time, Vishwamitra threatening Rama over Sita's vanvas. Incidentally, why is it so important for Narada to try and salvage Rama here?

Talk about being sudden. K-L have not yet learnt the Ramayan, although they now know about divine weapons, medicinal herbs, retrieving swarna-kamals and all that. The Sagars did a good job trekking into completely uncharted territory, but now, are rushing this serial to an end w/o showing essentials like K-L learning the Ramayan from Valmiki, which was their most significant role in the original Ramayan.

Looks like Sagars are now racing to finish this disaster of theirs by June 26. Well, whatever...

So they are now flipping the roles - K-L great warriors, Rama a great singer

Looks like they're now twisting Padma Puran. There, Shatrughan & Pushkal encountered a number of rulers who challenged them. Here, if K-L are going to capture the horse tomorrow and the battle w/ Daman hasn't even started, then one wonders whether they'll show even some of the challengers.

The way Luv and Kush were portrayed in the 8 May episode was shocking. It was really disgusting to show that on seeing gold Luv and Kush were tempted so much that getting gold became their priority over getting the swarn-kamal. Their guru Valmiki, who has been taking care of them since their birth, is in the danger of losing his punya karmas if Luv, Kush do not bring swarn-kamal to the ashram in time. For the first time Baba said that they should go to Kuber-lok fast. But what do Luv, Kush do? They no longer consider it so important to get the swarn-kamal. But getting gold becomes their aim. When they do not find anything else to drop in water, then they drop their bows, which were given to them by their guru. On seeing the golden bows, they become so greedy that they lie that the bows belonged to them.

On one hand, the title song uses various glorifying words for Luv and Kush, Valmiki and other ashram-vasis are shown praising them no less. And on the other hand, Luv, Kush are shown to be liars and greedy.

Imagine somebody, who does not have knowledge of Uttar Ramayan and watches this serial to gain the knowledge? Will he not get a completely distorted picture of the epic? After all, this is not how Valmiki has portrayed Luv and Kush. In Valmiki Ramayan, it is written that Luv and Kush sang Ramayan so beautifully that people showered them with riches. But Luv and Kush politely declined saying that those riches were of no use to sanyasis.
