Happy Monday guys!!!

When I was little girl, my grandfather used to read me Ramayana. The story used to fascinate me. Now after all these years, I want to know the story from Ravana’s perspective. I’ve been following a TV serial based on Ravana and I’m finding it really interesting.

It’s been a boring Monday morning. Wanted to open a new thread to see how my friends in Sajha were doing :)

Happy Monday sndy
I also watched few episodes of Ravana and story is scientifically explained, I liked it. will try to follow more....

Hi sndy!!

Had never heard about this TV serial before. After knowing that Raawan had 10 heads I used to think this guy can think 10 times more than a normal person.

Pretty!! ke chha??

Well, I used to read Mahabharat for my Hajur Aama.

:-)

Sndy!

Morning :)

Where do you watch the serial on? You have Zee or Sony or some other way?

Pretty, Camoflaged - Hello! :)

Thik chha CamoFlaGed, timro ni?

Oh that 10 heads part is so well explained in the serial Ravana, you got to watch it.

Ravana's father was a great scientist and he created this crystal locket, when u wear it due to the the reflection of light on it showed as if there were 10 heads. Later on Ravan got that locket.

Hi Camo, Nice to see you..
There are so many interesting things, which I didn’t know earlier. For instance, I didn’t know that both Rama and Ravana possessed Bramhastra. During the final war between Rama and Ravana, Ravana decided not to use the Bramhastra against Rama because if both of them used it, the world would come to an end. So he took it upon himself and that’s how he died.

Wow!! Interesting!!

Thanks Pretty, Thanx sndy!!

I dont have access to Indian Channels but I will try to get DVD. Thanks again both of you.

:-)

Morning Capt. saab, Good to see you..
I watch it on Zee TV..As pretty has said, they have tried to show it scientifically. How Ravana got his 10 heads..Ravana's father was also something like ultrasound to see how the baby was doing inside the mother's womb..it's pretty fascinating..

sorry, please correct and read it hai.. at work..so don't know what I'm writing.

nice to learn interesting things sndy...........
do write some more stuffs

Batas, it's really interesting..
Till now, we've heard the story from Rama's perspective. I'll keep you posted whenever I have time hai.

Total and complete BS,

people trying to find modern science in ancient fairytales. those story are meant for moral values and good learning not to engage yourself in pseudo-science.

you know how many scientist and how labor hours has been put into the discovery and prototyping of the ultrasound sdny was talking about. it has been like a fashion these days to find science in age old fairytales.

BB,
I don't see anything wrong in it. It is actually true that so many things that our old people did was totally scientific. For example, we were not allowed to wear shoes inside the kitchen. It does have hygienic implication to it...besides, we are talking about Ramayana from Ravana's perspective here, which I find pretty intriguing.

birbhadra
we know everything is related to science ...........why not relate the ancient tales to science?
they are interesting n fascinating....

sndy i will b waitin for ur interesting posts............k garne TV herna paidiana ...

Did u know that Raavan and Kuber were step brothers?

i don't see anything wrong either. i was just pointing out that it is just a feel good factor, maybe, to find modern intelligence in our heritage? hey no offence i also belong to the heritage i was just being self-critical. my only concern is why are people trying to find science in fairytales: Yes i believe ramayan is a fairytale but do i consider it to be something to be learned ofcourse. but is it fair to credit ravan's Daddy for already having contrived a device that only came into existence in the last century.

Ravan and Kuber step brother ................oh really
I know that Ravana was very intelligent and powerfull

Yes, apparently, Kuber's father, who is an Aryan married this daityakanya (raavan's mom). The whole episode where Kuber's father marries Raavan's mother is pretty funny..

When I was in school, one of our teachers told us that in Sri Lanka, Ravana was revered as a national hero who stood up to Raam, who represented Indian "samrajyawaad". Does anyone have any info to support or contradict his "theory"?

I haven't heard this one before..
