Ramayana 41 of 2025

"I bow again and again to Sri Rama Who removes (all) obstacles, grants all wealth and pleases all."

This is a salutation offered at the start of reading any scripture as per tradition. This prayer is for removing all obstacles encountered. The prefix Sri to Rama indicates that Rama is always accompanied by Sri, His consort Seetha in the form of goddess Sri Maha Lakshmi.

An auspicious day marking the end of Karkidakam and celebrating Janmastami. Time to contemplate,  Reread Ramayana.  The despair and grief Rama experienced Krishna never knew. Krishna cared not, nor grieved. He lead the warrior to destroy the wicked.

Their life and stories in their books are guides, guidelines and guidance to those willing to abide. One of the many is that between Sugreev's desire and Vaali's anger. Both lured them to sin. Desire and anger. KAAMOKAARSHEET MANYURAKAARSHEET.

Siblings  turns out to be Rajasic Ravan, Tamasic Kumbakaran and Satvic Vibeshan, born in the same family,  around same time and place. Can we generalise a community or group? Aren't each different?
