using your twisted logic then Modiji is also a Maryada Purshotaam - never remarried, left his wife (people's choice not his), and giving the e.g man suffering for disrespecting his wife etc
If anything its the Tamils who suffered the most for this maniac's crime of humanity - genocide of native Tamils and using deception to kill the monkey Vali - who is not subjected to Aryan moral codes
After giving whole load of knowledge/ enlightenment to Arjuna, Lord Krishna told Arjuna, that don't take it without using your brain and logic. He told Arjuna to weigh them with his own logic, and believe what he think is correct.
Even there are some, who worship Ravana in Delhi, does not means they are evil or bad, its the way of perception and thinking to extract the juice and take example from the character. Similarly if you stand in the most Southern part of the India, and look toward the South, and think that this is the end of the country, or look at the north, then you realize that its just the start of the India.
Ramayana is an old Grantha, in the form of the story of Ram, and our old sage like Valmiki and many were intelligent enough to give the knowledge in the form of Story. The knowledge of how a king should be, a brother, a father, a mother, a wife so that if you give the knowledge in form of the story, the interest of the general masses would remain prolong, other wise it will go off the head of most of the general masses because only the intelligent person could only understand the real motive, and the meaning of this knowledge, which are narrated in the form of the story.
A good example from the Ramayana is the Ravana with 10 Head,. Now which organism have such structure, for the general masses they can imagine Ravana with 10 head in a row, but for the intelligent person the 10 heads indicates the knowledge of 4 Vedas and 6 Grantha.
Similarly the Earth balancing on 3 pillors or points :-
Turtle of Lord Vishnu Avtaar, Horn of Kamdhenu Cow, Head of Sheshnaag
OR
1. Back of Turtle -- means the toughness, hard work
2. Horn of Cow -- means love, affection
3. Head of Snake -- means terror whether of mother, father, teacher, law
And by the way, the top 5 females according to Hindus are :
Sita -- Wife of Lord Ram
Mandodari -- Wife of Ravana
Anasuya -- Wife of Sage, who make Shiva, vishnu, Brahma child
Draupadi -- Wife of Pandavas
Putana -- Female Deamon, who tried to kill Lord Krishna with her poisoned Milk.
Interesting. Please educate me more on what actually happened as per Tamil literature.
He is referring to Kamba Ramayanam
One main difference is that the Kamba Ramayanam, ends with the Yudhakandaam, ie, Ram defeating and killing Ravan, and returning back to Ayodhya. The Uttarakandam which is there in Valmiki's Ramayana is not present in Kamba Ramayanam, it has no mention of the Lava Kusa story.
Another difference is in the way, the epics are structured. Kamba Ramayanam, has a very defined grammatical structure, where each Kaanda is divided into 123 sections called as Padalams, and together they contain around 12,000 verses. The Valmiki Ramayana on the other hand, has double the number of Slokas compared to the Kamba Ramayana.
Also due to difference in time period, some parts of the epic have been modified to suit the then social sensibilities. In Valmiki's Ramayan, Tara, the wife of Vali, marries Sugriva after her husband's death, while in Kamba Ramayan, she remains a widow forever.
Ravan's character is portrayed more positively in Kamba Ramayan, more as a great ruler, who was felled by his own lust. It shows, in the episode of Sita's abduction, where in Valmiki's Ramayan, Ravan, physically lifts her up and drags her away, in Kamba Ramayana, he lifts up the hut in which Sita was there, along with the earth underneath it.
But overall, there is not much difference in the main story,except for some nuances, in the characterization.
