      Thank u from India ❤ it’s not easy to explain our faith as it’s confusing when it comes to god & godess and their relationship among themselves without prior knowledge with almost all contains sub stories.

    It's not easy to explain old books. In India, we study tales of Ramayan from grade 5 or even earlier. But when it comes to Greek mythological stories, I find it difficult to study because of being unfamiliar to the stories, names, gods, etc. I watched your other videos and was able to understand to a great extent. It was really helpful. Keep going! ^_^ 👍

      It’s interesting, as an American growing up I was fascinated by Greek myths growing up so reading them now comes so easy, same with the Bible, but getting into the Ramayana has been more difficult. It’s the opposite of your experience haha, but that’s just cause I wasn’t raised on it like you were!

    Jai Shri Ram
    I had a practice of chanting Shri Ram Raksha Strotra daily.
    However once a thought came to me “I can only do some general chanting like take Raam Naam etc.I need not chant Shri Ram Raksha Strotra specifically”
    Hence I discontinued it.
    After a month I got a dream in which I was chanting Shri Ram Raksha Strotra with a relative sitting besides me.
    In the dream I was chanting Shri Ram Raksha Stotra and during the chanting (In the dream) , forgot the last few lines of the strotra and my relative mentioned that I have become forgetful.
    I then remembered the lines and in the phase between dream and waking state , as I was rising from the bed, I completed the last few lines of the strotra.
    The experience was so intense that I resumed the unbroken daily chanting of Shri Ram Raksha Strotra
    Thanks

    • @GreatBooksin10minutes
      @GreatBooksin10minutes  2 роки тому +11

      Thank you for your comment. In regards to the flying monkeys, Although the word Vanara has come to mean "monkey" over the years and the Vanaras are depicted as monkeys in the popular art, their exact identity is not clear. Unlike other exotic creatures such as the Rakshasas (shape shifting demons), the Vanaras do not have a precursor in the Vedic literature. The Ramayana presents them as humans with reference to their speech, clothing, habitations, funerals, weddings, consecrations etc. It also describes their monkey-like characteristics such as their leaping, hair, fur and a tail. Some suggest that though the poet of the Ramayana may have known that vanaras were actually forest-dwelling people, he may portrayed them as real monkeys with supernatural powers and many of them as amsas (portions) of the gods to make the epic more "fantastic". In regards to the warrior who killed the son of a Brahman by mistake, you are refering to King Dasaratha father of Rama who was cursed by the father of that boy to die in grief and far away from his son which happened when Rama was in exile.
