N. Assistant Professor , Head, Department Of Economics. ABSTRACT The Ramayana was a significant impact on later Sanskrit verse and Indian life and culture. Like the Mahābhārata, the Ramayana isn't only a story: it presents the lessons of old Hindu sages (Vedas) in account purposeful anecdote, scattering philosophical and reverential components. The characters Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman and Ravana are for the most part central to the social cognizance of India, Nepal, and some South- East Asian nations, for example, Thailand and Indonesia. There are different adaptations of the Ramayana, KEYWORDS: Indian life and culture , social cognizance of India. 1.INTRODUCTION : body of the account needs Valmiki's Ramayana is an epic 1.1. The past and arrangement explanations sonnet of somewhere in the Customarily, the Ramayana is of Rama's godliness, and range of 50,000 lines. The credited to Valmiki, viewed as recognizable pieces of proof of content makes due in a few India's first artist [1-5]. The Rama with Vishnu are thousand halfway and complete Indian custom is consistent in uncommon and stifled even in compositions, the most seasoned its understanding that the the later pieces of the content [9]. of which seems to date from the sonnet is crafted by a solitary As indicated by Indian eleventh century A.D.[11]. The writer, the sage Valmiki, a convention, and as indicated by content has a few provincial contemporary of Rama and a the Ramayana itself, the renderings,[12] recensions and fringe on-screen character in Ramayana has a place with the subrecensions. Literary the show [6]. The story's class of itihāsa, similar to the researcher Robert P. Goldman unique form in Sanskrit is Mahabharata. The meaning of separates two significant known as Valmiki Ramayana, itihāsa has shifted after some provincial recensions: the dating to roughly the fifth to time, with one definition being northern (N) and the southern fourth century B.C.[7][8]. While that itihāsa is an account of past (S) [11] Scholar Romesh Chunder it is regularly seen as a occasions (purāvtta) which Dutt composes basically reverential book, the remembers lessons for the that "the Ramayana, similar to Vaishnava components give off objectives of human life [1]. As the Mahabharata, is a an impression of being later indicated by Hindu convention, development of hundreds of gradual additions potentially the Ramayana happens during a years, yet the fundamental story dating to the second century BC timeframe known as Treta Yuga is all the more particularly the or later [8]. The fundamental [10]. In its surviving structure, making of one mind"[13]. There ________________________________________________________________________________________ Journal for all Subjects : www.lbp.world 1 RAMAYAN AS A COMPLETE LIFE OF REAL HUMAN volUme - 9 | issUe - 2 | NovembeR - 2019 ________________________________________________________________________________________ has been exchange with respect to whether the first and the last sections of Valmiki's Ramayana were formed by the first creator. Some still accept they are essential pieces of the book despite some style contrasts and account logical inconsistencies between these two parts and the remainder of the book [14][15]. Celebrated retellings incorporate the Ramayanam of Kamban in Tamil (ca. eleventh twelfth century), the Saptakanda Ramayana of Madhava Kandali in Assamese (ca. fourteenth century), Shri Rama Panchali or Krittivasi Ramayan by Krittibas Ojha in Bengali (ca. fifteenth Century), and Ramacharitamanas by Tulasidas in Awadhi which is an eastern type of Hindi (c. sixteenth century) [12]. Adyatma Ramayanam Kilippattu By Thunjethu Ezhuthachan in (Malayalam language). 1.2. That is all Some social proof (the nearness of sati in the Mahabharata however not in the fundamental body of the Ramayana) proposes that the Ramayana originates before the Mahabharata. In any case, the general social foundation of the Ramayana is one of the post-urbanization time of the eastern piece of North India, while the Mahabharata mirrors the Kuru territories west of this, from the Rigvedic to the late Vedic period. By convention, the content has a place with the Treta Yuga, second of the four ages (yuga) of Hindu order. Rama is said to have been conceived in the Treta Yuga to King Daśaratha in theIkshvaku vamsa (tribe). The names of the characters (Rama, Sita, Dasharatha, Janaka, Vasishta, Vishwamitra) are altogether known in late Vedic writing, more established than the Valmiki Ramayana. Be that as it may, no place in the enduring Vedic verse is there a story like the Ramayana of Valmiki. As indicated by the cutting edge scholarly view, Vishnu, who as per Bala Kanda was manifested as Rama, first became a force to be reckoned with the sagas themselves and further during the 'Puranic' time of the later first thousand years CE. There is likewise an adaptation of Ramayana, known as Ramopakhyana, found in the epic Mahabharata. This variant is delineated as a portrayal to Yudhishtira.There is general agreement that books two to six structure the most established bit of the epic while the primary book Bala Kanda and the last the Uttara Kanda are later increments. The creator or creators of Bala Kanda and Ayodhya Kanda have all the earmarks of being comfortable with the eastern Gangetic bowl locale of northern India and the Kosala and Magadha area during the time of the sixteen janapadas as the geological and geopolitical information is with regards to what is known about the district. Be that as it may, when the story moves to the Aranya Kanda and past, it appears to transform unexpectedly into dream with its evil spirit killing saint and phenomenal animals. The geology of focal and South India is progressively dubiously depicted. The information on the area of the island of Lanka additionally needs detail. Putting together his presumption with respect to these highlights, the student of history H.D. Sankalia has proposed a date of the fourth century BC for the organization of the content. A. L. Basham, be that as it may, is of the assessment that Rama may have been a minor boss who lived in the eighth or the seventh century BC. 2. BALA KANDA Dasharatha was the ruler of Ayodhya. He had three sovereigns and they are Kausalya, Kaikeyi and Sumitra. He was childless for quite a while and, on edge to produce a beneficiary, he plays out a fire penance known as Putra-Kameshti Yagya. As an outcome, Rama is first destined to Kausalya, Bharata is destined to Kaikeyi, and Lakshmana and Shatrughna are destined to Sumitra. These children are invested, to different degrees, with the quintessence of the God Vishnu; Vishnu had picked to be naturally introduced to mortality so as to battle the devil Ravana, who was abusing the Gods, and who must be devastated by a human The young men are raised as the rulers of the domain, accepting directions from the sacred writings and in fighting. At the point when Rama is 16 years of age, the sage Vishwamitra goes to the court of Dasharatha looking for help against evil presences, who were upsetting conciliatory ceremonies. He picks Rama, who is pursued by Lakshmana, his consistent buddy all through the story. Rama and Lakshmana get guidelines and extraordinary weapons from Vishwamitra, also, continue to pulverize the devils. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Journal for all Subjects : www.lbp.world 2 RAMAYAN AS A COMPLETE LIFE OF REAL HUMAN volUme - 9 | issUe - 2 | NovembeR - 2019 ________________________________________________________________________________________ 3. AYODHYA KANDA After Rama and Sita have been hitched for a long time, an old Dasharatha communicates his craving to crown Rama, to which the Kosala get together and his subjects express their help. On the eve of the extraordinary occasion, Kaikeyi—her desire excited by Manthara, a mischievous maidservant— claims two aids that Dasharatha had some time in the past conceded her. Kaikeyi requests Rama to be ousted into wild for a long time, while the progression goes to her child Bharata. The shattered ruler, obliged by his inflexible dedication to his given word, consents to Kaikeyi's requests. Rama acknowledges his dad's hesitant order with total accommodation and quiet restraint which describes him all through the story. He is joined by Sita and Lakshmana. At the point when he inquires Sita not to tail him, she says, "the timberland where you abide is Ayodhya for me and Ayodhya without you is a veritable damnation for me." After Rama's flight, ruler Dasharatha, unfit to hold up under the despondency, dies. Then, Bharata who was on a visit to his maternal uncle finds out about the occasions in Ayodhya. Bharata won't benefit from his mom's devilish plotting and visits Rama in the woodland. He demands Rama to return and run the show. Be that as it may, Rama, resolved to do his dad's requests exactly, will not return before the time of outcast. Be that as it may, Bharata conveys Rama's shoes, and keeps them on the position of authority, while he governs as Rama's official. 4. ARANYA KANDA Rama, Sita and Lakshmana ventured southward along the banks of waterway Godavari, where they constructed bungalows and lived off the land. At the Panchavati woodland they are visited by a rakshasa lady, Surpanakha, the sister of Ravana. She endeavors to lure the siblings and, bombing in this, endeavors to execute Sita. Lakshmana stops her by removing her nose and ears. Becoming aware of this, her devil sibling, Khara, arranges an assault against the rulers. Rama destroys Khara and his evil presences. At the point when updates on these occasions comes to Ravana, he makes plans to wreck Rama by catching Sita with the guide of the rakshasa Maricha.

  • Glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev!
    Wait to Serve - Part 1 Date: 2014-01-14 Author: Kalacakra Krsna das Hare Krishna Prabhujis and Matajis, Please accept our humble obeisances! All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev! In Bhagavad Gita Krishna says, devotional service is joyfully performed - susukhaṁ kartum avyayam. When our body and mind are in good condition and when circumstances are all favourable, we find it easy to perform service joyfully. But the real test of our unmotivated bhakti, comes when our body and mind does not co-operate and circumstances are also unfavourable. When we are suffering from some chronic illness or when we have some problem which is just prolonging for years, we get dejected and demotivated. We lose faith in bhakti and lead a remorseful life. The following pastime in Ramayana very nicely teaches us how to handle such situations. When Sugriva sent his army of Vanaras to different directions in search of Sita, Angada and Hanuman were sent to South. After vigorous search for over 6 weeks, they were still not able to find Sita. Angada and few other monkeys thought that they should sit and fast to death. As they sat there roaring in dismay, they suddenly saw an enormous vulture approaching them. Looking at the vulture come near them Angada told Hanuman, "Surely this is Yamaraja come in person to punish us for failing to serve Rama's purpose. This bird reminds me of Jatayu, about whom we have heard from Sugriva. That glorious bird laid down his life for Rama in a fierce battle with Ravana. We shall also now give up our lives in Rama's service.

  • Sugriva's Role in Ramayana
    ROLES IN RAMAYANA HANUMAN’S ROLE IN RAMAYANA Hanuman's role in the battle between Rama and Ravana is huge. He is the one who flies cross the oceans (he is Wind's child), locates the exact place where Sita is imprisoned and brings this information back to Rama. While within the demon fort on his quest for Sita, he sets the entire place on fire and warns Ravana about an impending attack unless Sita is returned unharmed. During the Rama-Ravana battle, Hanuman not only kills several demon generals but also brings Rama's brother back to life. How does he do that? Well, it so happens that Rama's brother is mortally wounded by Ravana's son, and the monkey-army-physician opines that the only things that can save the life of the younger prince are four specific herbs that grow on the Himalayan slopes. The catch? The battle is raging on in Lanka, across the southernmost tip of the country while the Himalayas are far up north, and the herbs are needed within the next few hours, before the new day dawns. Hanuman leaps up into the air, flies northwards at lightning speed, and alights atop the Himalayas. This is where things start to become confusing: the monkey- physician had said that medicine herbs glow in their own light and that it should be easy, therefore, to spot them. What Hanuman sees, however, is an entire mountain aglow with herbs of all kinds, each emitting its own peculiar light. Being unable to identify the exact four herbs that the physician had described, Hanuman uproots the entire mountain and carries it back to the battlefield.

  • 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.
