Rama 's Quest For Sita, Justice And For Dharma

Do you see things differently not like colors but other people around you the world well maybe it's because of your race,color,and/or the people you hang around and maybe their culture rubs off to you. That one's color can have a big dramatic effect on people's reactions to different conflicts which as well then leads to one's culture. One's culture is an amazing thing that makes us diverse and different this can have a dramatic effect on people. People have many different religions and some may be complicated to you and easy compared to others which can make it come to a different output or different reaction and how people visually see things due to their culture side effecting on they may have had. Which culture can cause many problems

The original The Ramayana is a great epic that has stood the test of time, and has been influential yet controversial throughout history. R.K Narayan’s version has been the same; his composition of stories adds another layer to the already plentiful themes, leaving the reader satisfied with his brilliant description and insight. Through Narayan’s constant comparison that parallels Rama to a perfect specimen, he is demonstrating a “Straw Man” argument. Its effect illuminates Rama’s flaws rather than his seemingly perfect composure. Narayan consciously chooses moments at Rama’s darkest hours to transform him into the relatable human figure he was meant to become.

The Vindication of Sita is considered the culmination of the epic Ramayana, and had attracted numerous artists to choose it as the subject of their artistic creations. It is always illuminating to examine the differences of the paintings with the same subject matter. The Vindication of Sita from Singh’s Ramayana and the one that illustrates the Persian translation of the Ramayana show varied themes, iconography, composition, and narrative techniques that correspond to the nature of their patronages. The Mewar version is colorful and complex in layout with a full demonstration of the court’s political standing, financial power, and an attachment to what was truly Indian. The Sub-imperial Mughal version is much more modest and simple with an allusion to the Persians’ fascination of Indian classics yet a persistence of presenting it in an Islamic way.

Heroes are the people who demonstrate qualities of courage or outstanding achievements and are recognized for their influence in the society. Heroic characters are defined similarly in literatures as well. In the two literatures, Sundiata An Epic of Old Mali and The Odyssey, the main characters shape the plot the stories by their heroic abilities. The literatures also tend to illustrate how heroic qualities were perceived and portrayed in societies. Both characters come from different part of the world yet their plots are similar to each other. The protagonist from two literatures is on a quest to go home and to claim their ancestors’ throne, which is righteously theirs.

Both characters share qualities that qualifies them as the epic hero’s they are known to be. Gilgamesh is considered an epic hero because he’s two thirds god and Rama is thought of as the reincarnate of Vishnu, the god of preservation. Another similarity they share is their journeys that they each take, where they fight and defeat beasts, demons, and in Gilgamesh's case have journey within one’s self. In the Epic of Gilgamesh, Gilgamesh goes on a journey/adventure to the forest with his best friend Enkidu to try and defeat Humbaba, the monster that guards the forest. Rama is banished to the forest when his father bypassed his right to be king, but he’s adventure comes when his wife Sita is kidnapped and he must rescue her from the demon king Ravana (“The Ramayana of Valmiki”). And the last reason why Rama and Gilgamesh are epic heroes is that the two represent the qualities of the time era. Gilgamesh is a strong man who treats women horribly, kills the innocent beast for glory, and is divine. Not only do these qualities of Gilgamesh represent the culture of his time period but also of a hero from this time. Rama also represents his time era as the ideal follower of dharma an important part of the Hindu religion. Even today he is worshiped by many in the Hindu religion as the reincarnate of Vishnu because of his devoted following in the way of the dharma (Hindery,

In the story Ramayana, the two protagonists Rama and Sita seem to have a great relationship. Since Rama is the knight, Sita is the princess that stands with him even when he goes out to perform dangerous tasks. However, it wasn’t by their choice that they had to go out and defeat demons. Rama was exiled from his home because an outsider told his brother to cast him out of the city. Therefore, Rama went to live a life in the jungle with his wife. One thing that is noticed is how Sita never complained about the living conditions that she had to face once Rama was exiled. According to Pattanaik, Sita tells a local townsman that she believes that Rama will be okay while searching through the forest for the demon, and she will still remain

As Rama obeys his father, Sita, Rama’s wife, convinces Rama that she shall go with him, thus fulfilling her dharma s being a

The Epic of Gilgamesh and The Ramayana share many similarities but also many differences. Both characters share qualities that qualifies them as the epic hero’s they are known to be. Gilgamesh is considered an epic hero because he’s two thirds god and Rama is thought of as the reincarnate of Vishnu, the god of preservation. Another similarity they share is their journeys that they each take, where they fight and defeat beasts, demons, and in Gilgamesh's case have journey within one’s self.

You all must be aware of the epic tale of Ramayana that begins as Lord Rama was exiled to a forest for 14 years with his dear wife, Sita and brother Laxman. To get to the main point straight away, Sita, the epitome of grace and beauty was abducted by the main antagonist of the Ramayana written by Valmiki- Raavan. My mention on Valmiki as the writer is on purpose because it was according to him that Raavan was termed as the villain but in reality,

The author Valmiki in Ramayana discussed in detail human relationships, such as those between husband and wife, parents and children, siblings, rulers, and the ruled as shown in the story. It is often referred to as a holy text as well as a guide to social practices and attitudes. Nina, the animator of the film, Sita Sings the Blues, was seen reading the Ramayana constantly because it provided some sort of comfort to her. In the Ramayana, paragraph one, it says “It is a heroic epic about

Heroism and the concept of a hero have been subject to many changes, especially with respect to changes over time and in terms of how heroism is viewed by different cultures. The thing being explored in this chapter, primarily through the analysis of major heroic archetypes and characters, is how the ancient Indian heroic society takes the ideas of heroism, with specific focus on the epic poem ‘The Ramayana’. Along with the examining of the major characterstics of heroic archetypes, specifically the hero who works with a partner or companion, the hero who works alone and the figure of the hero who plays a background role in the context of the epic, there will also be a brief focus on the importance of the ability of

We will start with the main character of the book Rama. Rama has many karma events that happens throughout the book, one being that he followed the golden deer into the woods even thought his brother Lakshmana told him not to and the result was that his wife was kidnapped. He was not there to help her because he was following the golden deer ( pg ). Another example of karma in Rama’s life is when he killed, Vila, the brother of and at the time the monkey ruler because of this Rama was able to have an army of monkey help him search for his wife ( pg ). A final example in Rama’s life is when

“Dharma is knowledge prominently directed to the achievement of desired happiness here (i.e. in this life) and hereafter by means of appropriate actions”. (Khan, Benjamin. The Concept of Dharma in Valmiki) Rama and Krishna have been set as perfect exemplars of Dharma in the texts of Ramayana and Mahabharata respectively. They are considered to be the reincarnations of God Visnu, a Supreme Being, and supposedly lived their lives according to the Dharmic (or right) way of life. However, the stories of Rama and Krishna in the texts include some of their actions, which are questionable to the act of Dharma. This may lead one to question Ram and Krishna as true exemplars of Dharma.

Dharma is the duty that people must fulfill in order to achieve their life’s purpose. In the Hindu religion, it is what guides the followers’ life choices and actions. Only the utmost just decisions and choices will lead down the path of obtaining dharma. At first glance, the Indian epic, The Ramayana, is a love story about a prince who is banished to the forest and an evil creature subsequently kidnaps his wife. However, it serves a much greater purpose in the Hindu culture. The Ramayana serves as a guide to living a life of moral righteousness. Rama and Sita are role models of how men and women should interact with each other and with society. There is multiple times throughout the epic that Rama faces morally difficult decisions that he flawlessly surpasses, a feat that his human peers surely would not have had the mental strength to accomplish. Rama is the supreme example of how to live a moral life. Rama’s dharma is to destroy evil, and throughout the book the difficult choices he makes and the heroic actions her performs are what guide him in his quest to fulfill his duty. Other characters in the epic, such as Ravana, are faced with the same moral dilemmas and chose incorrectly, which ultimately lead to their demise. Rama’s profound greatness is a result of his ability to place dharma above all other humanly desires and personal interests.

Ravana is the king Lanka; he has ten heads and twenty arms. Soorpanaka describes Sita in such graphic detail that Ravana immediately falls in love with her. Ravana tricks Sita while Rama is away and captures her and takes her away in a chariot.
