The Ram Ravan contrast was beautifully shown by team. And since that's my fav topic, I thought of posting an analysis 😛

Ram said we should never underestimate any warrior, a warriors' capabilities are revealed at the war zone. Ravan is a great Vidhwan, a knowledgeable person, though he committed grievous offences like kidnapping Sita and torturing many people like her, the fact of him being a great Shiv bhakt and a very knowledgeable person can't be overlooked.. he has to be given the due respect. And his wrong Karma needs to be punished accordingly... it's just like what u Dow, u reap...

Another thing which i loved was when Surpi asked Ram about Ravan, there too he said the same, he doesn't think anything about him, he will not form any preconceived notions about Ravan, he just saw the best in him, that is , a great Shiv bhakt... Even after so much happened, Ram's views didn't change for Ravan... As Ram knows it's not Ram's thinking towards him which will lead to his downfall, but his own karma, which will cause his death... And it's Ram's ability to extract the positive out of each negative situation which will lead to his victory

Ravan's addressing the army was for the existence of Asur Kul, but he makes a mistake here, Ravan didn't want to preserve the Asur Kul but wants to preserve the negativity of the Asur Kul. He did the same with Akampana nd co, he lured them for something and had some other selfish thoughts in his minds.

Ravan already knows he is Vishnu Avatari Ram, now his battle is no more for Surpi (it was never for her, was just an excuse) not even for Sita but for establishing his superiority over Vishnu and his wife, who are the beholders of the earth, hence his superiority over everything on this earth.

But little does he know, that it's not Ram who will kill him, but his own ego..

Thanks for sharing. Btw urmila was a incarnation of whom.

Want to share something sorry if it seems silly

Actually I don't know why I started wondering why ram had only sons and not daughters. A silly thought of mine when I was young and when I asked my granny she was like we are all daughters of him and after started skr what striked me was what does Sita say a daughter searches for her father in her husband. But Vishnu was perfect and if he had a daughter maybe he would have never been able to find a match for her.

Really sorry if it's irritating but when I think deeper I get such doubts and find such answers though have not got such doubts in recent times as I have become busy with schoolwork. Shruthi Di will try to come to share some of my doubts.

I thought anything related to Ram is your favorite topic! 😛

But, yes, Ram and Ravan are different only because of this. Ram sees good, and Ravan sees bad. But, Ravan is a big Gyaani, why does he see bad only. Because he is clouded by his ego, so he wants to see and keep bad only. But, if you keep poison in your body, it will kill you, not help. And that's what Ravan gets. Welcome back, di, and great analysis!

@Gowri my take is Sita as a knowledgable woman could give Maryada purushottams to the society. Mother of a son has to be very knowledgeable to ensure she sets the right direction so that he co-exists with Prakriti. He understands and respect Prakriti's freedom.

If you get a daughter generally the father will be very knowledgeable as it is through him she learns to co-exist with Sanskriti. Janak was such a father.

So if it is a son mother's buck up, if it is a daughter father's buck up. Teach them to co-exist.

Bold 😆😆 well that's true to some extent 😳😆

But Ram Ravan is my favorite topic, even when topic is not related to Ravan but only Ram, I bring in Ravan and vice versa😳 I love to compare both. I even made an individual post on my RaRa 😆

Jokes apart , I believe we have both Ram and Ravan inside us, just that we need to suppress the Ravan within us and invoke the Ram 😃

Today was holiday so made a post, not sure after this

Yes, you are absolutely right- everything, including humans have two sides.

Please try to come when you can. I would be real happy!
