This line is completely unnecessary!
OK u like skr not a problem but why bring Ramanand sagar Ramayana n criticize it indirectly!
I guess this is what skr taught us to glorify one we hv to put down other .
Anyone who says Indian TV was not big or became huge only recently ,should check craze for shows like Ramayan!
Yes maybe u don't know the impact created by dr ramananad sagars Ramayana as it didn't hv much of visual effects so ppl from today's generation don't like to watch it. Maybe its u who never understood the depth and the meaning each dialogue n scene in Ramanand sagar Ramayana.
So something I got from website :
Ramayan in January 1986. After the Sagars' discovered Arun Govil's beatific smile and the power pf tele visual religion, Sunday mornings were never the same again. Nor was India, with Sagar's miracle - a - minute amakgam of 14 different versions of Valmiki's epic keeping pace with an aggressive and unapologetic Hundutva that swept the nation
Order of the People's National Award - Best television serial of the year 1987'
Ramayan created unprecedented records. It blazed new trails all over the world with a unique distinction of achieving something which even prophets, scholars, great thinkers, religious leaders, social reformers and politicians could not achieve in centuries. Ramayan has been registered in the Limca Book of Records. As per BBC figures, the serial has been watched by over 650 million people worldwide of which, 40 million Indian viewers regularly watched it on its first telecast.
As a soothing spiritual balm - The entire Nation stopped ... Turned ... and looked back with pride at our culture, our traditions and heritage of pure ethics and hallowed principles - RAMAYAN championed the victory of good over evil and boasted of noble virtues. The serial was portrayed in a most aesthetic manner and carried a lot of devotional value for the Indian viewer. Such was the phenomenon of Ramayan that often during the telecasts the streets always wore a deserted look.
The message of "Ramayan" cut across all the barriers of caste, creed, language and political boundaries. The euphoria that "RAMAYAN" created and documented by the media during its telecast, it itself is a legend.
Ramanand Sagar's Ramayan
Is a modern day miracle
Ramanand Sagar's mega epic TV Serial "RAMAYAN", when first telecasted in 1987, created unprecedented records. It blazed new trails all over the world with a unique distinction of achieving something which even prophets, scholars, great thinkers, religious leaders, social reformers and politicians could not achieve in centuries.
The message of "Ramayan" cut across all the barriers of caste, creed, language and political boundaries. The euphoria that "RAMAYAN" created and documented by the media during its telecast, is itself a legend.
Media documentation:
A lawyers' conference in Patna had to be delayed when its opening coincided with the telecast and nobody turned up.
A bride was late for her wedding ceremony in Satara in Maharashtra because she was watching Ramayan.
Two ministers turned up one hour late for her swearing- in ceremony at Rashtrapati Bhavan. They said they were busy watching "Ramayan".
The Bharat Milap scene brought in Bhopal two Muslim brothers on inimical terms, together after having lived separately for ten years. So moved was the elder brother by the serial, that he transported all possessions which were the reason of the split, to the younger brother's house.
In a Ranchi mental asylum, usually rowdy or violent inmates - on Sundays - when they were out in open pelted stones on monkeys sitting on trees in the compound, watched "Ramayan" peacefully. When they saw HANUMANJI performing various tasks for LORD SHRI RAM, their attitude towards monkeys changed. They started leaving food for the animals and even erected a Samadhi for a dead monkey.
In Bombay, "Ramayan" even cured a boy of amnesia. After a serious accident, the boy could not remember anything from his past life. Several efforts by his parents and treatments could not revive his memory. One day his sister asked him to see "Ramayan." A faint recollection of the theme music of the serial triggered off a positive response and the boy soon recovered with subsequent treatment.
Many churches all over India rescheduled their Sunday masses so that church goers can watch the serial.
After watching the scene in which Laxman becomes unconscious on being hit by Indrajit's arrow - NAAGPASH - a wealthy businessman in Madras fell seriously ill and went into coma at the shock of Laxman wounded. The credibility and source of sequence created a great furor, but the Sagar's stood their ground. But when they received a request from the business man's doctors' to help them revive the old man the Sagar unit worked round the clock and prepared a special clipping which they air dashed to Madras. Only after the man saw Laxman reviving back to life in the new clipping - also based on the authentic research - did he recover back to normal life from his coma.
A wedding baraat arrived in Lucknow station 9.30 a.m. on Sunday only to find that all the coolies as well as the rickshawallah's were engrossed seeing the serial.
This is what you call real craze!
No promotion gimmicks, no TRP stuff or other fanfare. Just mania among real masses and classes alike.
So that was the craze n literally it changed ppl.
Its the final result that matters.
If parroting it word by word can change ppl for good then why not.
Even after almost 30 yrs after its telecast ppl r watching n talking about it that itself a big thing.
This is the impact created by a show made with full faith n based on valmiki n tulasidas Ramayana.
Just imagine if everyone starts reading n understanding the valmiki Ramayana then what will happen❤️
