Former
secessionist, present day nationalist and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister
Karunanidhi has described all those who oppose the Sethu Samudram
Shipping Canal Project as "traitors." It means destroying Ram Sethu
is patriotism. This is the result of bhakti of videshi to forget
deshbhakti bhakti. These are the words of renowned journalist of TN.
The
Ramayana
has fascinated and inspired poets, writers, sculptors,
painters, musicians, dancers, puppeteers and singers all over
Asia. It is believed that the Ramayana traveled from India to
Southeast Asia along with Sanskrit. The first knowledge of Valmiki,
the author of the first
Original
Ramayana,
is an inscription in a temple in Vietnam by a descendant of a
Tamil king in the 3rd century AD. |

What is our
identity without Ramayan
Opposie to the above
there is a DMK king of TN and his minister Balu who want to
destroy Ram Sethu without that there is no existence of Ramayana and
without Ramayan we can’t be known as Indian. We may be called Romeos or
Anglo-Indians as the residents of Indiana province of America. After
signing Indo US treaty we may be called US-Indosho as Rajneesh called
himself in the end of his life as OSHO. Now another bhagwan made his
presence to call himself Gurumeet Ram Rahim Singh a misxture of various
religions in his name.
Ramayan has
traveled to different countries
The Ramayana
has remained structurally intact but has undergone change throughout
Asia due to local influences and customs. The title and names of some of
the characters have also changed as it has traveled to different
countries. It is called the Ramakerti in Cambodia, Ramakien
in Thailand, Ramayana Kakavin by Yogiswara in Indonesia,
Hobutsushu (Collection of Jewels) in Japan (by Tairano Yasuyori
in the 12th c.) and the six-volume Tunhuang in North-west China
(originating in 787-848 AD). Malaysia has two versions: Hikayat Seri Ram
(originating in 13th -17th c.) and Hikayat Maharaja Ravana. Laos
also has two versions: Phra Lak Phra Lam (Beloved Laxman and
Beloved Ram, originating in early 19th c.) and Khvay Thuaraphi
Why have Ramdrohis
allergies with Ram Sethu? Why they can’t digest the truth and facts?
Even though, foreigners (Not Gandhis) have accepted existence of Ramayan
in their books, articles and movies. Here in India in the name of
secularism UPA+Left want to destroy every sign of Indian-ness. Who wants
foreign brand mixture with salt and chilies?
Foreign
born Sonia vs foreign born Goldman
As the Sanskrit
programme at the University of California, Berkeley enters its 101st
year, Sanskrit and Indian studies Professor Robert Goldman and his wife
Sally Sutherland Goldman, a lecturer in Sanskrit at the school, will
have a lot to celebrate. And while many
fabled universities in
Europe have curtailed their Sanskrit programme, the language is
celebrated at Berkeley year after year with enthusiasm.
Goldman (Not sona or Sonia) says:
“You
cannot really understand the ancient world, at least much of it, without
understanding Sanskrit literature."
"The
Ramayana means an extraordinarily great deal to many millions of
people," he says. "In an age of ever-increasing globalisation, and at a
time when large numbers of people from South and Southeast Asia have
become an integral part of America, most of us know so little about a
work that has so dramatically shaped the culture and society of a region
ranging from Afghanistan to Bali in Indonesia."
Professor Goldman says the Ramayana project is the first to translate
the critically edited text that scholars at the Oriental Institute at
the University of Baroda, prepared from 1960 to 1975.
"But
it is much more than a line-for-line translation," he adds.
"There is also a thorough critical analysis of the epic. Several of the
centuries-old commentaries that we have studied have never before been
published, and we offer this discussion to readers with annotations."
"We
have also signed a deal with a publisher in New Delhi to produce a
rather inexpensive version in India in a few months," he adds.
For
learning Sonskrit we depend on American Prof Goldman and more than 100
years old Congress want to give the rule of foreign born Sonia (Antonia
Maino). Indian ‘maina’ has sweet toungue. Foreing born Maino have ugly
language for Hindu organizations.
Ramayanee temples
abroad vs Ramlala temple of Ayodhya
Following are some of
the temples located in Southeast Asia which are dedicated to the
Ramayana or have sculptures or other works of art related to the
tale. In Indonesia, there is the 9th - 10th century Lara Jongrang in the
Prambanan Temple complex with relief sculptures depicting the arrival of
the monkeys in Lanka. Were those monkeys entered Sri lanka from India
without making a bridge Adam’s bridge Ram Sethu?
Don’t talk for the
glorious construction of Ram Lala temple of Aydhya, if you want to be in
the sheep race of fake secularism. You can talk for Mecca, Jerusalem and
Vatican City. If you want to talk for Hinduism then go abroad, leave
India. It is a country of self defined secularists, a mixture of Deshi
tharra with English Rench Russian and other brand wine. If you are not
drinker then you may call it (Liquid Iodine) Iodine kaa ghoal.
What is a specific mixture in Coca cola which make it different from
other cold drinks? Only owners of Cola know the mixture and that is
their business secret for capturing the whole market. Like that
Non-Hindu so called secular parties have a self defined formula of
secularism. That formulas is only up to them for changing timely. That
is the secrecy of them.
The Panataran Temple
in East Java has a bas-relief of the Ram Ravan fight. There are the well
known Borobudur and Mandup Temples as well. Thailand has Lobpuri which
depicts the Nagapasha of Ram and Lakshaman and the temple of Emarald
Buddha has artwork related to the Ramayana as does Cambodia’s
Angkor Vat (Vaphuwan), built in 1112- 1152 AD by Suryavarnam. The 11th
c. Pagan Temple in Myanmar has images of Ram and Parsuram. Two temples
in Laos display Ramayana scenes. There are paintings (probably from the
last 150 years) on the walls of Vat Pa Ke and the Vat Oub Mnong Temple
has 29 murals related to the Ramayana. Vietnam has the Valmiki
Temple. Performances vary regionally, again affected by local
influences.
Hinduism of 2%
Indonesian Hindus is safe but in India……………
Because it is
considered to be one of the most important pieces of literature in
Thailand, the Ramayana is considered to be part of the
curriculum. Hindus only make up 2% of Indonesian society, but most
Indonesians are taught the Ramayana and its values of goodness
and kindness at an early age.
Congress of Sonia is
sympathizer of Hindus. They are trying to make Hindus in the minority of
India. After that Hindus will be able to keep Hinduism safe. This is
secularism in India.
In India Hindus are
80%, so here Ramayan, Mahabharat, Ved can’t be a part of curriculum.
Gujarat riots and lesson of MF Hussain in NCERT IGNOU books, Lalu (Chalisa)
lesson in Bihar school books may be. In HRD sponsored books Lokmanya
Tilak, Veer Savarkar and Bhagat Singh may be called terrorists. This is
the biggest qualification of sick-ular Arjun Singh to stand up for the
presidentship. Though, he can’t stand properly on his foot due to his
‘satkarm’ noble deeds.
She
is devoted for Christianity. Her blessing is for converters Benney hinn,
Glady Staines and other Christian Missionaries. Her patriotism is for
Italy where she still owned a house. If we oppose present route of
Sethusamudram project then Karunanihis calls us traitors. What should we
call to the Karunanidhe and Sonia Gandhi who want to destroy Ram Sethu?
Ramayana Ballet vs
Sinners’ papi-pop of Rekha Shilpa Mallika
There are several
cultural and artistic traditions related to the Ramayana. The Kecak
Dance reenacts episodes from the epic. The dance drama is a
creation, in the 1920s, of the famous German artist Walter Spies in
close cooperation with Bali priests. The Ramayana Ballet is performed
everyday during the dry months, May to October, at the Prambanan and
other temples throughout the country. One of the most important forms of
Indonesian indigenous theater is puppetry and much of it features
stories from the Ramayana. The most celebrated is the “wayang
kulit” or shadow play of Java. There dances are for attracting the
tourist also.
Here in India bar
dancers have become unemployed, So Rahul Gandhi have made women
empowerment poject. It will come or not come out of stomach, Gandhi
knows. Indian cultural dances and mucsic have taken the shape of pop.
For attracting tourists and for introducing India abroad, there are
bollywood Rekha, Shilpa, Mallika and in Gents Bib B and Shahrukhare the
main.
CH I C A G O SO U T H AS I A NE W S L E T T E R
Ramayanee: JACOB HAAFNER, Ralph Waldo Emerson and japnee Sako
JACOB HAAFNER (1754-1809)
His rendering of part
of the Ramayana, Proeve van Indiase Dichtkunde volgens den Ramaijon
(1823) [Sample of Indian Poetry on the Basis of the Ramayana] is proof
of his devotion to Ramayan. Despite the relative sterility, Haafner's
knowledge of India and Indian literature received a degree of
recognition in 1797 when a specimen of his rendering of the Ramayana was
recited during a meeting of the leading Literary Society of Amsterdam.
After his sudden death in 1823 his son published his father's rendering
of part of the Ramayana.
Ralph Waldo
Emerson
Today Emerson is
honored as one of America's most influential and original thinkers. Yet
few realize how extensively his work was suffused with Oriental
philosophy--especially Hinduism. Long before Swami Vivekananda's famed
sojourn to North America, Emerson was subtly weaving Hindu thought into
the fabric of his scholarly writing as if it were his own. In the minds
of the Western intelligentsia, he ploughed fertile fields of inspiration
fifty years before Indian swamis traveled west to seed them.
Japanee Sako’s Animated Ramayana
Although Sako is not
a Hindu, he is attracted to many of Hinduism's beliefs. He explains, "I
trained to be a priest and am a Zen Buddhist formally. But after all
these years, Hinduism is very familiar to me. However, to be Hindu, you
have to be born in a Hindu family, so I don't know whether Hindus would
accept me as Hindu or not. So I am Buddhist, but in my mind I feel I am
Hindu."
Sako said: "In
general, Indian mythology is like a treasure box for movie makers.”
Although the film has
been well received at film festivals and has been briefly exhibited in
several countries, the insistence of the filmmakers to maintain the
storyline has prevented it from gaining wide release.
Although Sako is not
a Hindu, he is attracted to many of Hinduism's beliefs. He explains, "I
trained to be a priest and am a Zen Buddhist formally. But after all
these years, Hinduism is very familiar to me. However, to be Hindu, you
have to be born in a Hindu family, so I don't know whether Hindus would
accept me as Hindu or not. So I am Buddhist, but in my mind I feel I am
Hindu."
Next on the agenda
for Sako is the story of Lord Krishna, the Celestial Cowherd.
Opposite to this see
Pt Nehru who said that he was born as Hindu accidentally. Instead of any
religious head, only photo of Christ was affixed in the wall of the
office of the Rajiv Gandhi. I have written about present Gandhis in my
previous articles. Tragedy is that not only foreign borns and Non-Hindus
but also so called Hindus hided in the shields of secularism are
Bhasmasurs to destroy the Hinduism. Could Bhasmasur become immortal?
