Among them were two novitiates, who said, "We are disciples of sage Valmiki. We sing the life story of Rama." Rama did not know that the youthful, fresh mouths from which he would hear his entire life story belonged to his own children, his own sons. And Kush and Lav did not know that the one before whom they would be telling his entire life story was actually their father. Not knowing their relationship, the sons are telling the father his entire life story. This first scene is described beautifully by the narrator, and the narrator is saying, व ी रामभ ऐकती swaye shree Lord Rama Himself raamaprabhu aikatee Listens व ी रामभ ऐकती swaye shree raamaprabhu aikatee Lord Rama himself listens. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. कश लव रामायण गाती कमार दोघ एक वया kumaara doghe eka wayaache Two boys of one age, sajeeva putaLe raghuraayaache Living statues of King Raghu, सजीव पतळ रघराया putra saangatee charita pityaache Sons tell the father's story. प सगती चरत पया jyoteene tejaachee aaratee The worship of brilliance by flames. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. योत जाची आरती कश लव रामायण गाती राजस म ा, ष मन raajasa mudraa, veSha muneeMche Regal countenances, appearance of gandharwacha te tapowaneeMche monks, गधरवच तपोवन valmeekeeMchyaa bhaava maneeMche Those surely heavenly singers from the 1 See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashwamedha Page 3 of 52 वामीकया भाव मन maanavee roope aakaaratee ascetic world kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Manifest Valmiki's sentiments मानवी आकारती In human form. कश लव रामायण गाती Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. तया आवनातल te pratibhechyaa aamrawanaatila They are cuckoos singing spring's glory ­ ­ vasanta­vaibhava­gaate kokila In the mango groves of virtuosity. वसत वभव गा कोकल baalaswaraaMnee karunee kilabila Twittering in child's tones, बालवरनी कनी कलबल gaayane RRituraajaa bhaaritee By song overwhelm the king of seasons. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. गाय ऋतराजा भारती कश लव रामायण गाती फलपरी ओठ उमलती phulaaMparee te oTha umalatee Those lips are like blooming flowers. sugandhase swara bhuvane jhulatee Like fragrance, notes sway into the hall. सगध वर भव झलती karNabhooShaNe kunDala Dulatee Ear­adorning ornaments swing. कणभषण क डल डलती sangatee weeNaa jhankaaritee The accompanying veena drones. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. सगती वीणा झकारती कश लव रामायण गाती सात वरया वगमधनी saata swaraaMchyaa swargaamadhunee Out of the heaven of the seven notes naoo rasaaMchyaa naoo swardhunee Nine rivers of nine moods नऊ रसया नऊ वधनी yaGYa­maMDapee aalyaa utarunee Came cascading into the sacrificial hall. य­मडपी आया उतनी sangamee shrotejana naahatee The audience bathed at their confluence. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. सगमी ोजन नाहती कश लव रामायण गाती puruSharthaachee chaaree chaukaTa Seeing his own life arrayed tyaata pahaataa nijajeewanapaTa Inside all four facets of humanity, प षाथची चारी चौकट pratyakShaahuni pratimaa utkaTa The image more profound than the actual, यात पहाता नजजीवनपट prabhuche lochana paaNaawatee The Lord's eyes well up. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. यान तमा उकट भ लोचना पाणावती कश लव रामायण गाती Page 4 of 52 सामद बाळ बोलती saama­vedase baaLa bolatee The children declare in saama­veda form. sargaamaaguna sarga chaalatee One stanza comes after the other. सगमागन सग चालती sacheeva, munijana, striyaa Dolatee Men, monks, women sway. सचीव, म नजन, िया डोलती aasave gaalee oghaLatee Tears flow down cheeks. kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. आस गाली ओघळती कश लव रामायण गाती सोड न आसन उठ राघव soDuni aasana uThale raaghava Leaving the throne, Raghav rises. uThuna kavaLitee apule shaishava Risen, embraces his own childhood. उठन कविळती अप शशव putrabheTichaa ghaDe mahotsava Neither knows this is प टचा घड महोसव pari to ubhayaan nacha maahitee A festive occasion of reunion of father and kusha lava raamaayaNa gaatee sons. पर तो उभय नच माहती Kush, Lav sing Rama's chronicle. कश लव रामायण गाती Page 5 of 52 Hoping for the blessing of the god Agni, Dasharath released a sacrificial horse.

    Mythological Characters in Amish Tripathi's Ram Chandra Series

    © 2018 IJSRST | Volume 5 | Issue 3 | Print ISSN: 2395-6011 | Online ISSN: 2395-602X Themed Section : Education Mythological Characters in Amish Tripathi’s Ram Chandra Series Hardas Galchar1*, Dr. Ankit Gandhi2* 1Research Scholar, Madhav University, Rajasthan, India 2Professor, Madhav University, Rajasthan, India ABSTRACT Every great civilization has its own treasure of mythology. Egypt, Rome, Greece, India, China and other cultures are the classic examples. Each of them, during the course of history, created folklore, community rituals and social beliefs which led to the creation of vast bodies of mythology. India has probably the richest store house of mythology and legends in the world. It is fed from countless sources and preserved in the four Vedas, the Upanishads, the two epics, the eighteen main Purans and many chants, plays, poetry, sculptures, dance, music and folklore. The roots of India’s legendary past go before the Aryans to the Dravidians and even the Pre-Dravidian tribals. Therefore its values, its social and legal systems and its aesthetic awareness, have survived intact and remained relevant to all Indians. Human actions to became the subjects of myths, which to some extent, related to historical events, the best examples are the Ramayana and Mahabharta. These sagas beautifully describe the interactions of human characters and personalities. In thislineage, the new Indian writers, like Amish Tripathi, Ashok Banker and Ashwin Sanghi have started a new tradition by blending the mythology of the past with present reality. By doing so these writers are modernizing the Indian myth. Amish Tripathi relied on the stories and fables that he heard from his family.
  • 9 Ever Remember the Name of Rama

    9 Ever Remember the Name of Rama

    103 9 Ever Remember The Name Of Rama HOUSANDS of years have passed since the Tadvent of Treta Yuga, yet even now everyone, right from children to elderly people, remember the name of Rama. The glory of Rama’s name is such that it has not diminished even a bit with the passage of time. This truth should be recognised by all. Rama is the name given to a form, but the name of Rama is not limited to a form. Atma is Rama, and its true name is Atmarama. Therefore, wherever and whenever you remember the name of Rama, Rama is there with you, in you, around you. The Name Of Rama Is Eternal Embodiments of Love! Rama is one, whether you identify him with the 104 SATHYA SAI SPEAKS, Volume 40 atma or with the form installed in your heart. Every year comes the festival of Sri Rama Navami. But we have not so far understood its true significance. You identify Rama with a form. But Rama is not limited to any particular form. It is the name that is latent in your heart. Many changes and variations keep occurring in the world, but the name of Rama is immutable, eternal, unsullied and everlasting. Rama was not an ordinary individual. He was verily God who incarnated on earth for the welfare of mankind. People call God by many names like Rama, Krishna, Easwara and Mahadeva. They are all the names of one God. You should recognise the glory of this name. Sage Vasishta said, “Ramo vigrahavan Dharma” (Rama is the personification of Dharma).

    Manthara Turns Kaikeyi Against Rama

    “Om Sri Lakshmi Narashimhan Nahama” Valmiki Ramayana – Ayodhya Kanda – Chapter 8 Manthara Turns Kaikeyi Against Rama Summary Manthara with her wicked thoughts tries to convince Kaikeyi of the possible misfortune that could occur to Kaikeyi and her family if Sri Rama becomes the King.

    Ramayan Ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu Way of Life and the Contribution of Hindu Women, Amongst Others

    Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) Mahila Shibir 2020 East and South Midlands Vibhag FOREWORD INSPIRING AND UNPRECEDENTED INITIATIVE In an era of mass consumerism - not only of material goods - but of information, where society continues to be led by dominant and parochial ideas, the struggle to make our stories heard, has been limited. But the tides are slowly turning and is being led by the collaborative strength of empowered Hindu women from within our community. The Covid-19 pandemic has at once forced us to cancel our core programs - which for decades had brought us together to pursue our mission to develop value-based leaders - but also allowed us the opportunity to collaborate in other, more innovative ways. It gives me immense pride that Hindu Sevika Samiti (UK) have set a new precedent for the trajectory of our work. As a follow up to the successful Mahila Shibirs in seven vibhags attended by over 500 participants, 342 Mahila sevikas came together to write 411 articles on seven different topics which will be presented in the form of seven e-books. I am very delighted to launch this collection which explores topics such as: The uniqueness of Bharat, Ramayan ki Kathayen, Pandemic and the Hindu way of life and The contribution of Hindu women, amongst others. From writing to editing, content checking to proofreading, the entire project was conducted by our Sevikas. This project has revealed hidden talents of many mahilas in writing essays and articles. We hope that these skills are further encouraged and nurtured to become good writers which our community badly lacks.
