Download or read book Ashok Vatika written by Sivkishen Ji and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 by Sivkishen Ji emanated from Sundara Kanda that forms the heart of Valmiki's Ramayana. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 began with the narration of Lord Shiva to Goddess Parvati who aptly heard the entire story of Rama and his life in detail. This work ended with her blessings, "Let the recital of Sundarakanda be a priceless gem to all to prosper and overcome all problems faced in daily life with the same auspicious benefit of chanting 1000 times Gayatri Mantra." The author lucidly detailed on the adventures of Hanuman and his selflessness, strength, and devotion to Rama emphasized in the text. Hanuman fondly called "Sundara" by his mother Anjani and Sage Valmiki chose this name over others as the Sundara Kanda is about Hanuman's journey to Lanka. After learning about Sita, Hanuman assumed a gargantuan form and made a colossal leap across the sea to Lanka. This showed the power of the name 'Rama.' Hanuman repeated this name and talked about the qualities of great men. It was sweet for this reason and a pleasant task indeed! This work captured the determination of Hanuman to succeed, in spite of the hurdles that kept cropping up in his path to Lanka. He had to keep his goal in mind and yet, at the same time, he had to think quickly to overcome the hurdles. Hanuman wanted to unite Rama and went in search of Sita. That is why even today Hanuman worshipped The author revealed the greatness of Hanuman, who meticulously searched Lanka for Sita. He located Sita in Ashoka grove, where she wooed and threatened by Ravana and his rakshasis to marry Ravana. Hanuman proved himself an excellent emissary of Rama when he met Sita. He narrated the events of the Bala Kanda and when he came to meet Rama, after having met Sita, Hanuman said that Rama and Sita would be crowned ruling monarchs and have a happy life together. He reassured Sita, giving Rama's signet ring as a sign of good faith. He offered to carry Sita back to Rama; she refused and said that it is not the dharma, stating that Ramayana will not have significance if Hanuman carries her to Rama - "When Rama is not there Ravana carried Sita forcibly and when Ravana was not there, Hanuman carried Sita back to Rama." She says that Rama himself must come and avenge the insult of her abduction. Ravana wanted Sita and wanted to get rid of Rama. Surpanaka wanted Rama and wanted to get rid of Sita. That was why their lives ended in misery. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman, and Ravana are all fundamental to the cultural consciousness of the South Asian nations of India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and the South-East Asian countries of Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Indonesia. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 demonstrates the importance of values such as loving and respecting our family, keeping our promises, protecting the weak and so on. This divine work is not just a story of Ramayana, but also an educational medium used by ancient sages to promote the importance of doing dharma (one's duty) in relationships. By using this as a medium, we can teach our children many life-skills, ethics, and principles of life that are very similar; like goodwill, kindness, sincerity, honesty, and integrity, etc. Ashok Vatika Amazing Stories Book-5 worth studying, reading, and sharing simply because the stories are a magnificent window to the views, philosophies, and beliefs of the past, of past cultures, traditions, and religions with57 licensed color illustrations under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License.

A thorough filmography, a selected listing of nationally televised appearances, and rare photographs of Ackerman throughout his lifetime complete this definitive catalog of one of science fiction's most interesting personalities.
