Introduction The Legend of Ramayana is an action-platforming RPG based on the Indian Sanskrit epic ͚Ramayana͛. The intended platform for the game is Sony͛s handheld PSP games system and takes place over a mythical India as told of in the story. It stars the character of Rama who is on a quest to save his wife who has been kidnapped by the demon king Ravana. On this quest he will encounter various enemies and friends that will hinder and help him in his journey. 2. Description You take control of Rama, the mythical prince of Ayodhya as his kingdom is besieged by the evil demon king Ravana. While fighting to defend your homeland your brother Lakshmana tells you that Ravana has kidnapped your wife Sita. As you attempt to battle through the hordes of enemies you see Ravana and Sita flying above. Your wife looks down and throws her ruby pendant to Rama as they fly into the distance. The enemies disappear in black mist leaving you and your broken kingdom. With Lakshmana by your side, you vow to go on a quest to rescue your wife. During your quest you must locate the colossus rubies that will restore Sita͛s pendant and guide you in the right direction to Ravana͛s hidden kingdom. You must travel through locales such as the desert city of Kosala, Vindhya Mountains and the Dandaka forest. Each level has its unique breed of demons and challenging obstacles that you have to overcome in order to progress. You͛ll also get the chance to recruit companions on your journey who bring with them new powers and knowledge in your quest to find the hidden city of Lanka where Ravana waits your arrival. 3. Target Audience The intended target audience for this game will be people aged 8-25. Younger people will find the game engaging because of its easy playability and colourful cell-shaded graphics. It should also appeal to the older gamer as well because of the interesting story and fun battle system. This target audience includes both male and females because not only should the fact that it is a casual game be engaging but it also appeals to people because the story is based on Indian culture and history. 4. Genre The genre of this game that would best describe it would be a third-person, action platforming RPG. By third person we mean that the camera would be positioned at the slightly elevated 45º angle focused on the back of the player so you are able to see a short distance in front of them. The action element would come in the form of a game similar to Kingdom Hearts because there would be an active battle system that would come into play when the character is within a certain radius of an enemy and they are free to attack and use abilities. The player would also be accompanied by one team mate at a time that he can switch between if he needs specific abilities. 3 The Legend of Ramayana Peter Ingham The Role playing element would be provided by the fact that you are taking control of a specific character and through the game you are experience his story as it unfolds as you progress through the game. There would be common themes that are in keeping with the RPG genre such as having separate towns and inns, a party system with equip-able armour, abilities etc and an emphasis on characters and story. The game is a single player experience and you

Kanika's wrong advice to Duryodhana This chapter starts with instructions of Kanika an expert in the evil policies of politics to Duryodhana. This Kanika was also known as Kalinga. Probably he hailed from Kalinga region. He was a person if Bharadvaja gotra and an adviser to Shatrujna the king of Sauvira. He told Duryodhana that when the close relatives like brothers, parents, teachers, and friends are our enemies, we should talk sweet outwardly and plan for destroying them. Heretics, robbers, theives and poor persons should be employed to kill them by poison. Outwardly we should pretend to be religiously.Rituals, sacrifices etc should be performed. Taking people into confidence by these means we should hit our enemy when the time is ripe. In this way Kanika secretly advised Duryodhana to plan against Pandavas. Duryodhana approached his father Dhritarashtra and appealed to him to send out Pandavas to some other place. Initially Dhritarashtra said Pandavas are also my sons, they are well behaved, brave, they will add to the wealth and the reputation of our kingdom, and therefore, it is not proper to send them out. However, Duryodhana insisted that they should be sent out. He said he has mastered one hundred and thirty powerful hymns that will protect him from the enemies.

  • Mahabaratha Tatparya Nirnaya - Introduction by Prof.K.T.Pandurangi
    Mahabaratha Tatparya Nirnaya - Introduction by Prof.K.T.Pandurangi Chapter XXVI Drona takes charge as Commander-in-chief On the eleventh day Drona was made the Commander in chief. Karna also joined him. Duryodhana asked Drona to arrest Yudhishtira. Drona initiated a bitter fighting and tried to arrest Yudhishtira. However, Arjuna made a counter attack and failed the effort of Drona arresting Yudhishtira. Bhima also gave a tough fight. On that night Duryodhana expressed his displeasure to Drona for not arresting Yudhishtira. Drona suggested, “If Arjuna was diverted from the main field of the battle Yudhishtira could be arrested”. On the twelfth day Susharma and Samsatakas were asked to take away Arjuna to some other area of the battlefield. Satyaratha, Satyavarma, Satyavrata, Satyeshu and Satyakarma were called Samsaptakas as these had taken an oath to kill Arjuna in the presence of a ritual fire. They took Arjuna in the presence of a ritual fire. They took Arjuna aside and started fighting. In the meanwhile, Duryodhana asked Bhagadatta to confront Bhima. Bhima hit the elephant Supratika of Bhagadatta. Sri Krishna saw this confrontation between Bhima and Bhagadatta. He thought Bhagadatta might employ vaisnavastra which he alone could pacify. Therefore, he started to come to this area with Arjuna. He Samsaptakas tried to prevent Arjuna. He employed Sammohana astra and moved towards Bhagadatta. Arjuna and Bhagadatta started fighting. Bhagadatta employed vaisnavastra. Sri Krishna received it and it became Vaijayanthi mala. Arjuna hit Bhagadatta and his elephant Supratika. Both died, Arjuna killed Achala and Vrishika the two younger brothers of Shakuni. Shakuni employed certain magical weapons.

  • Shiva ≡ the Supreme
    || || ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय || नमः || ी कृ णाय Shiva ≡ The Supreme It is a foregone conclusion in Advaita Vedanta that Vishnu = Shiva. Why then point to scriptural passages that extol Shiva (also) as the Supreme? There is one purpose, though not very lofty. Most Hindus grow up in families that read the Ramayana and the Gita, celebrate festivals like Ramanavami and Gokulashtami, and make a pilgrimage to Tirupathi. This does not go unnoticed by some Vaishnavas, who time and again selectively quote the scriptures to ‘prove’ that Vishnu alone is the Supreme, and that Shiva is an ‘inferior’ deity. They (often) go on to claim that Vishnu is to be exclusively worshipped, suggesting that worshipping Shiva is less recommended in the Scriptures – or worse, that it may actually be ‘wrong’ to do so! As this issue keeps popping up repeatedly, this present write-up will (hopefully) end any doubts in that regard. Only two Scriptures will be cited here, which are accepted by all Hindus – the Mahabharata and the Yajur-Veda. The English translation of a verse will be supplied first, after which will follow (in most cases) its Sanskrit transliteration (saMskRRitam ) in the ITRANS format. The translation of the Mahabharata by Kisari Mohan Ganguli has been used almost verbatim, with negligible changes. Unless otherwise specified, “Shiva” will refer to the Being who resides in Kailasa, has a Blue Throat, uses Nandi for a vehicle, etc.; and “Vishnu” will denote the Being who resides in Vaikuntha, bears the Kaustubha gem, uses Garuda for a vehicle, etc. If one wants to skip the explicit details and directly obtain the conclusion, please visit the last Section V below.

These characters are templates of roles a human play in life as an ideal father, ideal son, ideal brother, ideal leader, ideal wife, etc. The Ramayana is just not a fictional story, but depicts the importance of values such as how to lead a family life, up keeping the promises, protecting the weak etc. The great epic Ramayana preach a lot of values that we would want our next generation to inculcate.

    Kiratarjuniyam: Diversity of Characters and Relevance of Nara-Narayana and Harihara in the Sculptural Depiction in Avittathoor Mahadeva Temple in Thrissur District, Kerala Kumbodharan S1. and Preeta Nayar1 1. Department of Archaeology, University of Kerala, Kariavattom Campus, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala – 695581, India (Email: [email protected], [email protected]) Received: 30 August 2019; Revised: 28 September 2019; Accepted: 19 October 2019 Heritage: Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies in Archaeology 7 (2019): 266-278 Abstract: Kiratarjuniyam is a story mentioned in the Vanaparva of Mahabharata. It describes Arjuna’s penance to please Shiva in order to get the divine weapon Pashupatastra. Kiratarjuniyam is one of the favourite themes used in sculptural depiction during the medieval period. This story is one of the mostly depicted sculptural expositions in Kerala temples especially in wood. The narrations are found as wooden brackets and wooden narrative panels. Temples in Thrissur district possess a good number of representations of Kiratarjuniyam in wood. One among them, Avittathoor Mahadeva temple, has three elaborate depictions of Kiratarjuniyam, one in the namaskaramandapam and other two in the shrikovil brackets. The multiple depiction of a single anecdote in different part of the same temple is a rare occurrence. The present paper describes the narration of the story in these three depictions and discusses the diversity in the presentation of characters and the relevance of the depiction of Nara-Narayana and Harihara sculptures. Keywords: Kiratarjuniyam, Arjuna, Kirata, Nara-Narayana, Harihara, Shrikovil, Namaskaramandapam Introduction Kiratarjuniyam is an event narrated in the Vanaparva of Mahabharata (3.40.54). It describes the penance of Arjuna in the Himalaya to please Shiva and get the divine weapon pashupatastra.

  • Mahabharatha Tatparya Nirnaya Agnatavasa of Pandavas the Events
    Mahabharatha Tatparya Nirnaya Agnatavasa of Pandavas The events of Virataparva that relate to the agnatavasa of Pandavas are described in 23rd chapter. After completing the twelve years period of Vanavasa Pandavas took leave of Dhaumya, other sages and Brahman’s and made up their mind to undergo agnatavasa. They went to capital city of Virata. Before they entered the city they hid their weapons on a Sami tree in the outskirts of the city. The five Pandavas assumed the form of an ascetic, a cook, a eunuch, a charioteer, and a cowherd respectively. Draupadi assumed the form of Sairandhri i.e. a female artisan. Bhima assumed the form of cook for two reasons i) He never took food prepared by others ii) He did not want to reveal his great knowledge by assuming a Brahmana form. During their Agnatavasa they did not serve Virata or any other person. The younger brothers of Yudhishtira served Lord Hari and their eldest brother Yudhishtira in whom also God was present by the name of Yudhishtira One day a wrestler who had become invincible by the boon of Siva came to Virata's city. The wrestlers maintained by Virata were not able to meet his challenge. The ascetic i.e.Yudhishtira suggested to king Virata that the cook who had the skill in wrestling well could be asked to wrestle with him. The cook i.e., Bhima, wrestled with him and killed. Kichaka is Killed Ten months after Pandava's stay at Virata's palace, Kichaka, the brother of Queen Sudesna came. He was away to conquer the neighboring kings.

  • Magic Realism and Magical Powers in Heroes of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata S
    European Journal of Molecular & Clinical Medicine ISSN 2515-8260 Volume 7, Issue 10, 2020 Magic Realism and Magical Powers in Heroes of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata S. Arun Kumar1, Dr.P. Suresh2 1Assistant Professor, Department of English, Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies (VISTAS), Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. 2Associate Professor, Department of English, Vels Institute of Science, Technology and Advanced Studies (VISTAS), Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: This paper is an attempt to explore magical realism present in the great two Indian epics called Ramayana and Mahabharata by Vyasar and the former by Valmiki. The term magical realism is to accept magical elements as a usual component in day-to- day life. It shows the alternatives to reality or hyper-reality of life. Most of Ramayana and Mahabharata's magical incidents happen through the heroes and their weapons; the common weapon in the two epics is the spear, bows, Gada, sword, axe, etc. When the weapons are pronounced in the tone of magical realism, the power of these weapons takes a mighty dimension. With such weapons, most of the magical incidents take place in those two great epics. Hanuman, the Zoomorphic character and Bhima, the superhuman, of Mahabharata play a vital part in the two great epics. Keywords: Rama, Lakshmana, Sita, Hanuman, Arjuna, Bhima, Weapon, Magic, Magical Realism, Supernatural, Asthra. 1. INTRODUCTION According to Viyasar, magical realism is painting reality with the mixture of magical elements, and magical realism is often presented with magic or supernatural elements in a real-world setting [1].
