Guys apologies. But for the next few days I will posting analysis and daily posts late. Lot of things happening and I am juggling around. So have patience. Yesterday epi. So we have reached Panchavati. The place from where the next part of Ram-Siya's life will start.
Now what I liked about the episode is the contrast of relations. We saw three relations one between bhabi-devar, sita-Lakshman, between 2 friends sugreev- hanuman, and hus-wife bharath-Mandavi.
While Bharath Mandavi was a loop closure, Sugreev Hanuman was a loop opening. Sita -Lakshman another dimension into their dynamics which is long running till Sita banishment.
So let us look at each relation in perspective. First Bharat-Mandavi. Remember the portrait Mandavi gave Bharath and Bharath added Mandavi pic to it. Today we saw the loop closure in that with the perfect understanding between the couple. On one side Mandavi says she can never equal him , the way he had lived as his wife. Mandavi looks at the physical aspect of Bharath's existence. Because Bharath is living like a vanvassi, while she is in the palace having all the basic luxuries. And what does Bharath says without her support, without her consent this sacrifice of him was not possible and he couldn't give her anything as a husband. Here Bharath talks about the emotional strength of Mandavi who without complaints have accepted his choices. In Bharat-Mandavi we see a couple who are complete contrast to each other, but complimenting each other perfectly in a way Man-woman should be. He takes hit from a physical perspective and she takes hit from an emotional perspective. But together they give out something unique that is beneficial for the society. They have independent identities, independent choices yet they are together. As I said earlier also Bharat-Mandavi stands for Power or Kama. And in the scene yesterday they exactly represented that. Shiv-Shakti in true form. She is the spark in him, while he is the expression in her. They destroy the right things for the creation of new things.
Now come to Sugreev-Hanuman. What a beauty I would say. Sugreev is afraid to talk to his brother Bali. Just like in every one of our family. The strictness of our parents, elders make us fear them and we don't open up to them. The traditional values, bindings closes our relations within the family, which opens out to an outsider. Even after getting beaten by Bali Sugreev doesn't tell anything. But with his friend Hanuman he opens up, tells him about his lady love and ask his help to find her.
This is where we have to see contrast of Ayodhya and Kishkinda. In Ayodhya whatever happens, it happens within the family itself. To a great extend this is true in Lanka also. Whatever happens in family it is handled in family.
But Kishkinda a third party Hanuman is involved. And Hanuman is partial towards one member of that family. Yes Sugreev Hanuman relation is beautiful. But what we need to understand is that whenever a third party is involved in a family. Whenever that third party knows what the family members doesn't know the whole dynamics of that family is going to get disrupted. Because the family member and the third party ends up doing things without the knowledge of the family. Family will be planning something else and when things come out, well a beautiful mess is guaranteed. This happens in real life also. And MB the great example is Karna's birth secret known to Krishna who is not part of kuru family, but not the Pandavas. And Krishna uses this knowledge with collusion with Kunti to protect the 4 Pandava brothers against Karna. Same is going to happen here. Hanuman along with Ram will help Sugreev in bringing down Bali. The feud between brothers is always engineered by third party 😆😆. I am not blaming. But the elders need to understand one thing. If the free flow of emotions is restricted, one way or the other the kids will find solace in an outsider and that will end the regime of the elders. It happens in Ramayana, it happens in MB. Hanuman and Krishna are trustworthy. But not everyone. Those kids running away from home, those kids falling prey to unworthy men pretending to love them and then take them to prostitute rackets, to beggar mafia the root lies in the fear the youngsters feel in their own home. And elders need to ensure that they give youngsters an atmosphere where things can be debated not barred al together.
Now last Part. Sita Lakshman. See the way the bond has developed. Bhabi devar are quite comfortable with each other. Lakshman wants to show his bhabi where he has build the parnakudi and Sita like a doting bhabi runs behind him. They are sharing a mutual bond. At this point a harmony of Prakriti and Sanskriti. They are taking a kind of right over one another. His right as her devar and her right as his bhabi. And it is the right she asserts on him when the golden deer comes that changes the whole picture. Yes you have the right. But when you use the right at the wrong time , well it brings catastrophe.
@Geena Surpanakha part we will discuss when it comes. I have quite a lot of points there.
