Gyro,
no.it is not that I forgot or missed that line where you questioned me on the Holland dredger. The reason for not answering is two. 1) I have to get hold of some text on the internet to read through an incident. 2) want of time.
I will put my rebuttal on the Holland thingy once I get enough material. If you have a link send it to me.
I tend to place my arguments by stating what is observed by many and then saying why I do not think that is so. Ravana being a terror is what people observe and identify the character with. And I do not.
If one reads about Ravana's rule, it is said, that people were living happily. This is even before the so called Rama Rajyam. Therefore he was a great ruler. It is said, that his father gave him all the knowledge to be invincible.
Throughout the epic, Shivaites have been downplayed, the very example is, a king who is not a shivaite breaking the bow given by Shiva. Then the war between Ravana and other kings of the north. But there should be some appease done and therefore the Rameswaram episode. Had Rama wanted to kill Ravana and had he known about the degree of piousness of Ravana in the Shivaite cult, shouldn't the Rameswaram episode had a precursor of Rama and Lakshmana asking for Shiva's permission to fight Rama. There is/was not. Here is a guy who asked his wife to get into the pyre to purify coming back to Rameswaram to do puja for what? What Dhosa? He killed a terror and won the war and completed what he went for. Had he felt that bad, he should have prayed when he (Rama) killed Sugriva. Sugriva did nothing to Rama.
Again, this does not mean I believe in Shiva and Vishnu. It is to state that the society which did not ask questions about a single entity (of all in one) started asking about the duality and that type of thinking (duality)started gaining momentum. Private Reply to Ganesh Ram (new win) |
