Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 Dear Ajith Have you read The commentary of Gita by Yogananda Paramahansa? People reflect themselves to the world. Those who have read the epics as stories , because they could not think beyond the mere arrangement of words. The power of the epics is such that even mere reading gives lot of happiness and upliftment, but there are few who would like to go beyond the words themselves. My father told me that when you read Ramayana at different times of your life, one gets an entirely different meaning. I am in the same process of learning. Why Ramayana, i look at the game of Cricket philosophically , Maslow theory of management philosophically. To each his own. best wishes partha vedic astrology, Ajith <ajithk_1999> wrote: > Dear Partha, > > I respect your deep philosophical understanding. However, Ramayana and Mahabharata have been read and understood literally by millions of hindus and non-hindus for thousands of years and they reflect the moral understanding of the times. > So if one were ot accept the stories regarding Yudhistra's virtues then symbolically one has to also accept the vices of Duriyodhana in so far as they are functional in creating our own dharma. The same logic goes for the avatar Rama. He is extolled for His Righteousness and sense of loyalty and Duty. So while accepting the positive side of Rama's qualities, one cannot plead intellectual high ground and deny that Rama's slaying of Vali was an unjust act.I doubt if cowardice was the issue. > > Of cos, for a bhakta, his Ideal woud be seen as perfect and rightfully should be so.
