Book excerpt: Maryada Purushottam Rama, embark on an extraordinary voyage through the epic tale of Ramayana, narrated from a perspective never before revealed—the innermost thoughts and emotions of Lord Rama himself. This richly detailed narrative delves deep into the spiritual and emotional turmoil of Rama, the beloved prince of Ayodhya, from his birth to his marriage with Sita, offering readers a profound and intimate exploration of his journey. From the moment of his divine birth, Rama's life is a tapestry woven with duty, devotion, and destiny. Born to Queen Kausalya and King Dasharatha, Rama is the embodiment of virtue and righteousness, destined to uphold dharma. Yet, beneath his serene and composed exterior lies a soul grappling with immense responsibility and profound inner conflict. As he navigates the complexities of royal life, familial expectations, and his burgeoning awareness of his divine purpose, Rama's internal dialogue reveals a depth of character rarely seen. The story unfolds with the tender innocence of Rama's childhood, where his early years are filled with learning and love. Under the tutelage of sage Vasishta, he absorbs the principles of dharma, yet questions of his true identity and purpose linger in his mind. His bond with his brothers, particularly Lakshmana, offers solace, yet also underscores the weight of his future responsibilities. As Rama matures, the narrative takes us through his epic journey with sage Viswamithra. From protecting the yagna at Sidhasrama to the awe-inspiring confrontation with the formidable demons Tataka and Subahu, Rama's internal struggles are laid bare. Each battle is not just a physical conquest but a spiritual test, as he strives to reconcile his human emotions with his divine duties. Rama's heart-wrenching turmoil reaches new heights during the Swayamvara of Sita. The anticipation and anxiety of proving his worth by lifting and stringing the mighty bow of Shiva is palpable. When he finally wins Sita's hand, the joy is profound, yet Rama's introspection deepens as he contemplates the implications of his divine destiny intertwined with his profound love for Sita. Throughout this evocative narrative, the landscapes of Ayodhya, Mithila, and the sacred forests are painted with vivid descriptions, mirroring Rama's internal landscape. The grandeur of royal palaces contrasts with the tranquil austerity of hermitages, symbolizing the duality of Rama's existence—caught between the earthly realm and his divine mission. Interspersed with moments of quiet reflection and intense action, Rama's Lament explores themes of duty, love, sacrifice, and the quest for self-understanding. Readers will journey through Rama's mind as he contemplates his relationships with his family, his role as a prince, and the expectations of his subjects. His thoughts on dharma, destiny, and the nature of righteousness offer profound philosophical insights, making this retelling not just a recount of events but a deep spiritual exploration. This novel invites readers to experience the Ramayana in a new light, through the lens of Rama's inner world. Rama's Lament is not merely a retelling but an introspective journey that connects the reader with the divine prince on a deeply personal level. It is a tale of divine duty and human emotion, where the boundaries between mortal and immortal blur, revealing the profound humanity of a god. For those familiar with the Ramayana, this book offers a fresh perspective that enriches the traditional narrative. For newcomers, it provides an accessible yet deeply philosophical introduction to one of the greatest epics of all time. Immerse yourself in the timeless story of Rama's Lament: The Inner Journey of the Divine Prince and discover the epic tale as you have never seen it before.

Download or read book Building the Sri Rama Temple in Ayodhya written by Subramanian Swamy and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True and devout Hindus believe that Bhagvan Sri Rama was born in Ayodhya, the then capital of a flourishing kingdom of the Suryavansa dynasty. Rama is venerated as Maryada Purushottam, and worshipped by Hindus everywhere. Sri Rama was the first truly national king of India, above regional, varna, or jati adherence. At his birth spot in Ayodhya, there stood a temple, but it was demolished by invading Islamic marauders and a mosque was constructed on the same spot that came to be known as "Babri Masjid." In Chapter X of the Report of the Archeological Survey of India, NW and Oudh (1889), it is mentioned that Babri Mosque "was built in A.D. 1528 by Mir Khan on the very spot where the old temple of Janmasthan of Ram Chandra was standing." It is now well established by GPRS- directed excavations done under the Allahabad High Court monitoring and verification in 2002-03, that a large temple did exist below where that Babri Masjid structure once stood. Inscriptions found during excavations describe it as a temple of Vishnu Hari who had killed the demon king Dasanan [Ravana]. This book, therefore, explores how, through legal measures and by consensus building amongst the vast majority of the Indian people, the Rama Temple can be re-built on the original spot where it had stood nearly half a millennium ago.
Download or read book Rama and the Early Avatars of Vishnu written by Swami Achuthananda and published by Relianz Communications Pty Ltd. This book was released on 2019-08-03 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Full-blown trade wars, nuclear threats, attacks on nation's sovereignty...are we dangerously at the crossroads of a world war that may even threaten entire humanity? Maybe we are, but fear not. Hindus believe that whenever cosmic balance is threatened, Vishnu descends into the world as an avatar of change. "I am born age after age," says Krishna (Vishnu) in the Bhagavad Gita. Vishnu has many avatars, but his top ten avatars are special and known as the Dashavataras. In this volume, we enter the most exciting part of Hindu mythology--the Dashavataras--and discuss the early avatars of Vishnu. The avatar saga begins with a wicked demon stealing the Vedas while Brahma is sleeping. Vishnu takes the form of a giant fish and not only saves the Vedas but rescues mankind from a great deluge. As we progress through the avatars, you will come across Prahlada, whose story offers a shining example of the extent to which Vishnu would go to protect his devotees. In another incarnation of Vishnu, a generous king called Bali is dispatched to the netherworld for being too ambitious. While ambition is a virtue, not vice, this may seem unfair to the people of Kerala who hold Bali in high esteem. But Vishnu makes amends by bestowing the gift of longevity on Bali. Next, the axe-wielding Parashurama, a Brahmin by birth, embarks on a mission to exterminate the warrior caste from the face of Earth--and largely succeeds until he bumps into another avatar of Vishnu. The highlight of this volume undoubtedly is Rama, the hero of the Ramayana and a name that is synonymous with dharma (religious duty). About half the book is dedicated to Rama as we dissect Ramayana in detail, particularly the controversies. Although Rama is famous for defeating the ten-headed demon king of Lanka, it seems he waged a bigger battle with the dictates of dharma--and lost. We meet the monkey-faced Hanuman for the first time in this book. He is closely associated with Rama and highly revered among Hindus. Also in the Ramayana, we encounter one of the ultimate villains of Hindu mythology--the mighty Ravana. Even though Ravana abducted Rama's beloved wife, Sita, you will be surprised to know that not everyone regards Ravana as an antihero. In fact, at the end of the Ramayana, we are left with many bitter, thought-provoking questions that are debated even today.
Download or read book Valmiki s Ramayana written by and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 563 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of India’s greatest epics, the Ramayana pervades the country’s moral and cultural consciousness. For generations it has served as a bedtime story for Indian children, while at the same time engaging the interest of philosophers and theologians. Believed to have been composed by Valmiki sometime between the eighth and sixth centuries BCE, the Ramayana tells the tragic and magical story of Rama, the prince of Ayodhya, an incarnation of Lord Visnu, born to rid the earth of the terrible demon Ravana. An idealized heroic tale ending with the inevitable triumph of good over evil, the Ramayana is also an intensely personal story of family relationships, love and loss, duty and honor, of harem intrigue, petty jealousies, and destructive ambitions. All this played out in a universe populated by larger-than-life humans, gods and celestial beings, wondrous animals and terrifying demons. With her magnificent translation and superb introduction, Arshia Sattar has successfully bridged both time and space to bring this ancient classic to modern English readers.

Download or read book In Search Of Sita written by Namita Gokhale and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sita is one of the defining figures of Indian womanhood, yet there is no single version of her story. Different accounts coexist in myth, literature and folktale. Canonical texts deify Sita while regional variations humanize her. Folk songs and ballads connect her timeless predicament to the daily lives of rural women. Modern-day women continue to see themselves reflected in films, serials and soap operas based on Sita’s narrative. Sacrifice, self denial and unquestioning loyalty are some of the ideals associated with popular perceptions of Sita. But the Janaki who symbolized strength, who could lift Shiva’s mighty bow, who courageously chose to accompany Rama into exile and who refused to follow him back after a second trial, is often forgotten. However she is remembered, revered or written about, Sita continues to exert a powerful influence on the collective Indian psyche. In Search of Sita presents essays, conversations and commentaries that explore different aspects of her life. It revisits mythology, reopening the debate on her birth, her days in exile, her abduction, the test by fire, the birth of her sons and, finally, her return to the earth—offering fresh interpretations of this enigmatic figure and her indelible impact on our everyday lives.

Book excerpt: As we delve into the annals of history to recount the tale of Ram Janmabhoomi - a narrative entwined with faith, politics, and identity - it is paramount to approach this account with sensitivity and objectivity. The Ram Janmabhoomi conflict, far beyond a legal dispute over a parcel of land in Ayodhya, has been deeply ingrained in the collective memory of a nation, resonating with millions across religious and cultural boundaries. The narrative of Ram Janmabhoomi is not just a chronicle of events that unfolded over decades but a reflection of India's evolving socio-political landscape. It is a story that spans centuries, tracing back to pre-historic times and stretching into the modern era of legal battles and mass movements. This story is not merely about the bricks and mortar of a disputed structure but the intertwined relationship between faith and identity, law and justice, history and chronological facts. In this book, we embark on a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted layers of the Ram Janmabhoomi struggle. We traverse its historical foundations, the fervent emergence of the Ayodhya movement, the intricate legal battles, the eventual resolution by the Supreme Court of India, and the broader implications for Indian society. Each chapter serves as a testament to the issue's complexity, illuminating the religious sentiments, political aspirations, legal arguments, and the quest for communal harmony. The long-term impact on Hindu-Muslim relations and communal harmony in India remains a topic of debate. In 2019, the response to the Supreme Court's verdict on the Ram Janmabhoomi issue was primarily measured by calls for peace and communal harmony from various quarters. We acknowledge the diverse perspectives that this topic encompasses and respect the profound emotions it stirs. The aim is not to advocate a singular viewpoint but to present a balanced understanding of how the Ram Janmabhoomi issue shaped and was shaped by the myriad dimensions of Indian life. This book is an endeavor to chronicle a significant chapter in India's history that will be remembered for generations as a cornerstone in the country's journey towards grappling with its diverse heritage and charting its path forward. As readers embark on this journey through the pages of history, it is hoped that they gain insights into the events that transpired and the underlying currents of cultural, religious, and national identity that the Ram Janmabhoomi struggle represents. This is a story of a nation's struggle with its past, its present, and the implications for its future. Welcome to the journey of Ayodhya's struggle. Objective of this book In this book, our primary objective is to delve into the multifaceted aspects of the Ram Janmabhoomi issue.

Download or read book Religious Journeys in India written by Andrea Marion Pinkney and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2018-08-20 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an increasingly global world where convenient modes of travel have opened the door to international and intraregional tourism and brought together people from different religious and ethnic communities, religious journeying in India has become the site of evolving and often paradoxical forms of self-construction. Through ethnographic reflections, the contributors to this volume explore religious and nonreligious motivations for religious travel in India and show how pilgrimages, missionary travel, the exportation of cultural art forms, and leisure travel among coreligionists are transforming not only religious but also regional, national, transnational, and personal identities. The volume engages with central themes in South Asian studies such as gender, exile, and spirituality; a variety of religions, including Sikhism, Islam, Buddhism, and Christianity; and understudied regions and emerging places of pilgrimage such as Manipur and Maharashtra.
Download or read book Finger Pointing to the Moon written by Osho and published by Fivestar. This book was released on 2024-05-03 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One who is not ready to stake his very life will never be able to know the hidden mysteries of life. Those secrets are not available cheaply. Knowledge is available very cheaply; knowledge is available from books, from scriptures, in education, with the teachers. Knowledge is available almost for free; you do not have to pay anything for it. In religion you have to pay heavily. It is not right even to say ”heavily” because only when someone stakes everything do the doors to that life open. The doors to that life open only for those who put this life at stake. To put this life at stake is the only key to the door of that life. But knowledge is very cheap, so the mind chooses the easier and the cheaper way. We learn things – words, doctrines – and think that we know. Such knowledge only enhances ignorance.
Download or read book Vedamrut written by Vinoba Bhave and published by Sarva Seva Sangh Prakashan. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vinoba was a devout person. He was spirituality personified. His rigorous effort to explore and unearth the hidden values of these ancient scriptures led him to select one eight of the entire Rig-veda which contained its in-depth meaning. This was brought out in a book-form under the title 'Rig-veda-Sar (The essence of Rig-veda). Just few days before the end of his earthly sojourn, Vinoba underlined the importance of the selected eighty-three mantras (verses) from 'Rig-veda Sar' and suggested regular recitation of these mantras along with 'Gitai' (the Marathi rendition of the Bhagwad Gita). The publisher found his comments on some of them scattered in his voluminous literary works. These comments have been compiled and edited into a book titled 'Vedamrut' in Hindi and now translated in English. This is a small book, rich in spiritual wisdom handed down by one who exemplified the tradition of the Vedic seers in this modern material age. It is certain that even a small drop of this wisdom will benefit every one of us in our spiritual quest.
Download or read book Karbala written by Premchand and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-12 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when communal antagonism was at its peak (1920s), Premchand was perceptive enough to fathom the cause for religious intolerance being rooted in mutual ignorance of communities about each other’s faith. To alleviate this, he decided to write a play about Karbala, a 7th Century event in Islamic history, in which the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, Imam Hussain withstood the brute forces of the debauch ruler Yazid and sacrificed his life along with that of his companions and family members in the battlefield of Karbala, in modern day Iraq. In an unprecedented leap of faith, Premchand’s play draws the Dutt brothers, descendants of Ashwathhama, spending their exile years in Arabia, in the battlefield of Karbala. Inspired by the uprightness of the Imam and bound by their moral duty to justice, the seven brothers join forces with the Imam and sacrifice their lives for him, singing praises of their motherland Bharatwarsh. An illuminating blend of historical facts and imagination, this outstanding play reflects Premchand’s profound and enlightening grasp of the communal conflict in early nineteenth century India and his unique way of imagining the nation along the Gandhian principles of communal harmony and co-existence of religions.
