Guys I am not sure of this Tharini story. Seeing it for the first time. So my analysis will be simply based on the SKR script for this track.

For today's episode I will take the subject as fear and control. When do we have fear. Think about going for an exam. When do you fear. If you have studied everything in the syllabus properly you will not be afraid. Any question you can answer. If you have not studied anything then also you will not have any fear. Because you don't care whether you pass or fail the exam. But what if you have studied something, not studied something and you want to pass. This is where fear creeps in. Because you don't know whether question will come from what you have studied, if it doesn't come what will you do, how will you pass. Half knowledge creates the fear. And once you fear something you want control. Control of things happening. So you frighten others. A man who controls others is an insecure man about something. He is a frightened man.

Today in Ravan I saw that insecure and frightened man. He is a man who was of no use to his father. But he wants his son to be useful to him. Ravan has controlled his sons because he feared like him they also will chose their independent path, leaving him. Because he has left his father. In MB Balram says your greatest sin is your greatness weakness. Ravan's sin was leaving his father, not respecting him and not being a good son to his father. He forced his sons to be good children by controlling them only to lose all of them.

Ravan today makes his youngest son a victim of manipulation. By telling him he will allow Bhakthi Marg of Vishnu if he defeats Ram a teenager Tharini is sent to his death. Tharini is a noble youngster. But he gets lured into Ravan's words. Parallel is Karna getting the kingdom from Dury. We always have to be wary of the benefits we get suddenly. The real reason for those benefits will be something else. By the time you understand it, that will be too late for you. Favours always take with a pinch of salt.

Another thing that came to discussion was why Lanka still stands. Ram tells Lanka still has the power of dharma. Whenever we deal with adharma please understand that in places where adharma is there, dharma is also there though less in quantity. Unless the dharma of the adharmi place is not taken adharma cannot be defeated. That's why taking power or shakthi from Karna was the most important thing Krishna had to do. Shakthi was the power of dharma of Karna. Against power of dharma there is no defense. So the one holding the power of dharma in the adharmi side has to let go of it. That's the toughest battle, that is the painful battle.

Now comes Kaikasi who wants to give protection for Ravan. She is going to create Ravan's shadow. Shadow means defense. She is seeing what all adharma her son does. Still she wants to protect him. This is how adharma thrives. When the near and dear ones to adharma use their dharma for the protection of adharma, the battle for establishment of dharma is prolonged.

Sanjana, if you need them, here are the lyrics.

Shantakaram bhujagashayanam, padmanabham suresham l

vishwadharam gaganasadrusham, meghavarnam shubhangam l

Lakshmikantam kamalanayanam, yogibhirdhyana gamyam l

Vande Vishnum bhavabhaya haram, sarva lokaika natham ll

Waiting for everyone's analyses!
