Harvard University Students To Study Course On Ramayana, Mahabharata This Fall

[doe33]

The lynching the raping and the oppression is coming soon to haunt you guys.

Why are you getting so sensitive about it? Its not like you were not given a memo.

How relevant is to connect such social issues to religion?
HaHaHa
Do you think in the era of open internet, social media people will buy whatever is fed to them? Read the recent articles in SUN magazine & how Pakistanis are seen in West, specially now days in UK. Read about operation sanctuary..
Oppression or such BS while millions of minority population & freedom of practice flourish. Educated mass always know right or wrong.
How naive!!

Mahabharat is INFINITELY better than any western epic or work of fiction

Ramayana is OK ; but Nothing matches the Mahabharat

These are not work of "fiction".

These are slices of hindu history and not fiction.

Ramayana is the story of the perfect man and how he behaved during the best and worst of times.

Mahabharata is the story of the kings of a much later age and forms a background for the Bhagvat Gita.

Both serve different purposes.


Narada Muni told Valmiki that if A man reading this Ramayana happens to be a Brahman (not caste but Varna), he obtains excellency in his speech, and should he be Kshatriya person from ruling-class, he obtains land-lordship, and should he be Vyshya person from trading-class, he accrues monetary-gains, and should he be a Shudra person from working class, he acquires his personal excellence.


The Mahabharat itself was recited by Rishi Vaisampayana during the Yagna for king Parikshit as the story of his lineage.

I think they do that when the world needs a new boogeyman.

You are 1b.

Makes good business sense.

China take precedence over India.

Its not Indians who are the boogyman, its Hinduism that is the real threat to Christianity and islam.

They are not going to attack India or Indians, they are going to attack my culture and values. Though this is not a new thing for us. We have faced this attacks for more than a 1000 years, we know how to deal with it.

Its literature for illiterates. You have no Ovid, no Cicero and no Homer. Evrybody knows the Ilias and Odyssee..

Why we have your stuff in italian and german museums? Well we like exotic stuff. We also hae Maya Texts and all that. Its interesting to hear the fables of the savages.

Yes , level of philosophy of Bhagavad Gita was incomparable to any other religious philosophy and Buddhism comes close but it's heavy influenced by Vedic Hinduism . It's degree of philosophical sophistry accepted by everyone who read it .

Italy is a fine civilization. But if you were really Italian you would know how to spell Odyssey and the Iliad - not use some name like Ilias - lol - so, why are you ashamed of who you really are?

I for one am pretty sure the Hindu religion will survive but not the Indian monopoly on Hinduism.

That is the Beauty of Hinduism; there is no such thing as
a Monopoly

There is No one Book ; or One God or One Philosophy

You can write your Theories and philosophies even today

Nothing is forced ; nothing is compulsory

Hindus dont follow their religion and their own personal dieties
out of Fear ; but out of love and respect

I did spell it right. Odyssee is Odyssea in Italian. I basicly mixed the italian with english, because i wasnt sure how its written correctly in english.

And Ilias is how its exactly written in latin

https://la.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilias

You made yourself an idiot.

Ohhhh its so tiresome to lecture orientals.

Actually, considering Iliad is in Greek and this forum is in English why would you write in Latin? And no, there is nothing like Odyssee. So, why are you so ashamed of your real identity? Maybe I shouldn't blame you.

Beyond your illiterate spelling mistakes, here are some more Sanskrit Epics.

Just one Author called Kalidasa wrote 72 epics.

Sakuntala, Meghaduta, Kumarasambhava, Raghu Vamsha, Vikramorvasiyam, Abhijnanasakuntalam, Malavikagnimitram , Vikramorvasiyam, Ṛtusaṃhara, Shyamala-Dandakam, Srngaratilaka ... etc.
etc.

Matrcheta wrote Varnanarhavarnana and Shatapanchashatikastotra.

If I make a list of all sanskrit literature, this thread will not be enough. Not to mention literature in other Indian laguages.

Stop making a fool of yourself with your ignorance.

Considering Hinduism existed from Arabia to russia to southeast asia to Japan, its only Indians who not only wrote the books on hinduism, but continued to defend it , practice it and propagate it.

Our leadership is assured. History will testify to that.

And yes, in italian it is Odyssea. I thought in english its Odyssee.

But enough lessons for you . Now back into your hut.

LOL - touched a raw nerve, eh? So there is nothing like Osyssee. Shows you are at best semi-literate. English is my 5th language. Now tell me, why are you so ashamed of who you really are?
