@yagya the patriarchy and Brahmanism in the middle ages bend the vedas and puranas to maintain power structures. A culture which worships woman as Shakthi today we call her abla nari. Can there me more irony to it.
Sanathana Dharma which was based on everything and everyone is there for a reason, nothing is superior or inferior, today made into a mockery of practices and rituals. Our rituals, culture is getting attacked everyday and what are we doing to defend it. Talk about past glory or take the knowledge from our epics and talk back to people who degrade the culture in their language. The language of science. Instead of trying to do that and bring back the glory of our culture by our actions, not by chanting mantras and doing actions completely opposite to what Ram and Krishna wanted us to do.

WORD! Completely agreed. I am sure Ram and Krishna didn't want us to worship dongi babas, look down on women as objects as we place rules on them alone. Time we change ourselves to retain our culture and express our respect to gods. Everything shown in our epics was for a reason. Everything in Ramayana and Mahabharata was a lesson to be learnt, not something we see and enjoy. Lord Rama was born as a human but he grew out to be so unique in his time by his deeds. Amish Tripathi says all this in Shiva Trilogy and Rama Chandra Series in a very intriguing manner.

@yagya Amish Tripathi's works I have my share of criticisms, but then there are certain very logical aspects he has used in Shiva Trilogy and Ramachandra Series. The key thing I loved in Shiva Trilogy was the way Shiva reaches the evil. The journey was awesome and the suspense well maintained, and the reasons acceptable to any analytical mind. Though the way evil is tackled I would say I was not completely satisfied, it had some loose ends here and there.

Simialrly Ramachandra series what I liked is " Law is same" the stress on law. We need to understand only man made laws can be different, but nature's law is same for everyone. The crux is to understand this nature's law and use it to break the unnecessary man made laws irrelevant to the times. Rama actually had done that. He didnt break any nature's law, but broke the physical restrictions by each of his actions. He maintained the essence and his maya was his breaking of these physical barriers no one realized. Maya without which Vishnu's actions are not there, first time I am seeing in SKR and I applaud SKR CVs for that.

DD many people objected to Ashwamedha yagna portrayal telling that it is distortion. The creative team said it is not distortion but taken from Rama Raksha Sthrotham. Sorry no idea about the making video.

Yeah.. I know that... I just wanted to know when the creative said this? Am not judging anything... Juz wanted to know for information.. I always chant ramraksha stotra.. So this makes me even more curious to go for its meaning... 😛

Of course, even I have my own share of criticisms but there are somethings in his writings which has to be appreciated. I felt the third book was a bit stretched and even my friends said but yes, it is acceptable by logic and analysis as you said. I loved how you put about laws. Completely agree with what you say. Vishnu is said to be the preserver in our culture. But it is to be understood that he preserves the nature's law and peace as he destroys the one destroying it and the rituals associating it and SKR CVs are showing it. SKR's CVs truly deserve a huge round of applause.

@DD I might be analyzing a lot of things logically. But when it comes to Bhakti, the knowledge of mantras and stotras I would say many forum members have real great knowledge and being in this forum I have also learnt about many temples, it significance, mantras and stotras. Ram Raksha Stotra added to the list.

Ok...

I was hearing an old song ... " who Shyam kuch Ajeeb thi...yhe Shyam bhi aajeeb hai...who Kal bhi as pas thi...who aaj bhi Kareeb hai"

You know the so called romantic songs of this time did not give me the goosebumps which the lyrics, passion in Kushiro da's voice gave me

Point is...romance, love, are such intimate feelings, you need not just be physically intimate with anyone... But there are many other ways to show you intimacy you love for your partner...

For that matter even Laxman Urmila's love story for that matter...so many including me in this forum are loving it...that is because we see Urmila shying and like Laxmans attention, and even laxman not leaving a chance to tease Urmila...this is a for for innocent romance, beginning of love..which is in its innocent and pure form...similarly the above song does not have any physical intimacy of any kind ..but just listen to the words of the song...it's like love and passion in a pure form which is love by most of us

Rightly said Shruthi

Our Gods are not there in the sky...they are present in every thing big and small. They smile, laugh, get angry, are affectionate ,and even have their own families...when they pervade our every mood ...why should it different for Shringar rasa? Even now our wedding songs evocate and celebrate their togetherness{ like the song sita kalyanam vaibhogame etc.}The Gopis ' love for Krishna is a major component of Shringar ras. Meera in one of her bhajan describes Krishna 's form and at the end says"ang ang bali haari" .As long as it retains its divine essence and its subtlety, it should not cause any ripples in our mind. Ram and Sita were karmayogis, they taught us about how to keep our soul pure even in extremely adverse situations.

I hate it when some people misquote from scriptures to satisfy their ego and justify their own prejudices.I have heard people stating that 'Sita was kidnapped and she had to suffer all the humiliations because she crossed the Lakshman rekha and talked harshly to Lakshman' these things are often quoted to bind and subjugate a woman and make her conform to the society's rules. Sorry came out a little strong...Watched the documentary 'India's daughter' and it disturbed me to see the completely unrepentant and disrespectful attitude towards any woman...evil did have a face !Coming back to the topic I am loving the subtle exchange of glances tinged with shyness on her side and Ram's smile and lightening of his normally serene expression whenever he thinks of Sita. The tart relationship that is developing between Lakshman and Urmila is the cherry on the cake.

The same applies to me... 😆 at times I simply feel lost...

I love analysing shows, scenes,dialogues... But u do my maximum work so I juz add my opinions if different... 😆

But yes the forum has taught me many things regarding mantra shloka and temples...

I love to take their essence... That's what am doing from SKR...
