Is this serial getting boring? - Page 2

The question above didn't say much, so let me explain!

Anybody who's read the original Valmiki knows that there is the simple case of Rama exiling Sita to Valmiki's ashram, Sita having her kids and Shatrughan being present at their naming, Shatrughan killing Lavanasura, Rama holding his Ashwamedha yagna, K-L musically reciting the Ramayan in court, Sita taking her oath and so on.

Then there are those other stories that vary in detail, but essentially have K-L capturing the Ashwamedha horse and battling Rama's army. The accounts that have this generally don't have them singing the Ramayan.

However, this Ananda Sagar Ramayan has stories none of us ever read anywhere, like Karkati's alliance with Lavanasura, Sita volunteering exile, all 4 brothers having twins, Sita treating her babies rugged in the beginning, the kids handling snakes, poking arrows into rakshasha noses, having rakshashas scratch themselves with poison ivy, and so on.

In the meantime, none of the stories we are familiar with so far have surfaced, which then has one wondering where this story is headed, and how far. Given all that, my question above:

Are you finding all this boring?

From my part, any version of the epics or legends that is provided is interesting on its own, although I don't take seriously any version of the Ramayan that has everybody knowing throughtout that Rama is Vishnu, or that has the sort of distortions we are seeing. I'm still watching this the same way I'd stop to see a car wreck. But I am curious re: whether people are finding it boring, since this story seems to be meandering with no goal in sight.

I am watching it still, but it's not my priority as Desichica described. They should def show more of Gurmeet in flashback scenes or Ayodhya scenes. Today was especially boring with Luv-Kush on their way to Kuberlok!

@ Khalrika di: If Ananda Ramayan has this, its Ok but its somewhat wierd, when the serial shows that all the (twin) kids are born on Ram-Navami. A big blooper here! particulary when the birth tithi of K-L is specifically mentioned.

When we saw Ram-Navami episode, only K-L were born on that day and when K-L were named on Chathi 'sixth' day from their birth, we see simultaneously all brothers blessed with two kids n naming ceremony taking place ,that means all six cousins of K-L were born on Ram-Navami! but on that day (in epi) all the people including U-M-S were hale n hearty busy singing Vishnu-aarti... so when did they give birth exactly?? 🤔

Defying logic, isn't it and being (over) dramatic!! boy,oh boy!! even Mahakavi Bhaasa and Kalidas will be put to shame . 😳They too dramatised Ramayana heavily in their dramas but didn't defy logic ...

Khalrika

Thanks for weighing in on all this.

Also, do the Vikat stories, as well as todays story about our budding vets K-L appear in any of your Ramayan? Adhbhuta Ramayan?

Also, you missed the joke we had the other day when we wondered whether Ananda Sagar had any hand in writing the Ananda Ramayan😆

UMS day planner on Rama Navami

• Get up
• Visit temple & sing Vishnu-aarti
• Stay w/ Rajmatas until Kaushalya leaves to give Rama the 2 flowers
• Go home
• Give birth😆

Wonder whether LBS were sent home early that day😆😆😆

Oh, and Kaushalya was wondering what extra special thing is going to happen that day, just as the 3 remaining bahus give birth. Wouldn't that have given her a hint?
