Ashish Sharma is awesome. Highlight of the day was Ram's final smile to Sita after holding the dhanush

And another was Viswhwamitra n Lakshman walking away leaving Rama alone in front of camera.

Hi Santhi,

After a long time...good to see you here.

It seemed liked that to me too. But then he should also be shocked like Sita and others that the Dhanush broke.

Agree Ashish is awesome.

It truly was one of the best swayamvar truly and you post was bang on

Very well said

@Arshics what a beautiful poetry dear. As I read each phase of Sita passed through my eyes and then finally yesterday's moment. It was divine. Simply divine. When Ram took the bow and held it high. I was lost. Lost in the sheer magic once again. Not that I have not experienced this part in the Ramayan or the literature I have read about Ramayan, but the moment was breathtaking. It is said that reading or watching this part in Ramayan with serene calm mind can bring auspicious tidings. One thing I can say that this part in Ramayan infuse you with so much positive energy. With skill, humility and respect a man making the impossible, possible gives you motivation, faith and all the auspicious feelings which can propel you to do positive action.

In the original epic, Ram did lift the dhanush without any effort, and it broke in his hands as if it was a flower, because it could not bear the strength of his arms. Ram never intended to break the dhanush. He only wanted to string it, but in the process he broke it due to his strength.

Why is it so unrealistic for Ram to lift the dhanush easily? Is he not Lord Vishnu, master of the entire universe? Is any object in the world too difficult for him to move? God created everything in this world, every mountain, every river, every animate and inanimate object. Even in the form of a human, Ram possessed the strength of Lord Vishnu. There was no task impossible for him.

I haven't seen today's episode yet, but if Ram was shown struggling to lift the dhanush, or even if he had to put in effort to lift it, it is totally wrong because many accounts describe how he easily picked it up and broke it with no effort at all. It's wrong to believe all the extra drama the CVs add just because it looks more "realistic" to us. Is it realistic for God to struggle? I don't think so.

@Arshics: Beautiful description. I find it very difficult to see god in human beings but u easily viewed the god in lifeless dhanush. Quite amazing. 👏

I just leave with it as more u analyse, many times the beauty is spoiled.😉
