Chaff and grain (Bush Inauguration Chart Article)

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha

 

Well said. This applies to all the classics and puranas and chitra

kathas.

 

When i was young and when i read Ramayana, i thought it was the story

of a Hero(Ram) who kills the Villian(Ravana) To get his spouse back.

 

Today i understand that Ramayana is an understanding of a soul's

journey.

Rama is the soul, Ravana is the Shadow purusha(d-30 chart), Sita is

the femal principle(moon), that is Gripped by Ravana(Tamas,

ignorance, and the shadripus),

 

The SOul fights back with the support of Agni(Hanuman), and frees the

Mind(moon) and vanquishes the Rahu.

The darkness is removed, and the soul gets self realisation.

May Krishna bless all of us.

regards

partha
