Our epics are NOT stories |

Ramayana & Mahabaratha are not stories. No story will talk of good character of main villain and negative part of hero. Ramayana talks so much good about Ravana like he is an expert in musical instrument Veena, A great singer, A great devotee of Lord Shiva, unanimously powerful etc., which is why later Ravana was symbolically represented with ten heads because he was like an emperor for all the 8 directions & 2 logams ( North, East, South, West, North East, North West, South East, South West & bathala logam and deva logam). It also talks the negative side of Rama like he has killed vali by hiding, He was too much depressed when Sita was kidnapped, He asked Sita to set fire herself to prove her Pavithra etc. Further, No story will be analysed by three great peoples like Kambar, Valmiki and Tulsidas. They never mentioned anywhere in the epic that it is a story. Saints will talk only truth.
For a common man it is very difficult to understand the essence of Mahabaratha. So, when people started giving lecture for the benefit of society stories were added in line with the message that is originally in Mahabaratha for better understanding. Initially it had only 10,000 slogans. Now it has 1,20,000 slogans. If you consider Mahabaratha is a story, then Bagvat Gita is a part of story. No story will be taken for research or considered as curriculum. Gita is analysed so much all over the world by all spiritual leaders, irrespective of their religion. Though Lord Krishna is the main hero, it talks about Saguni, Duriyodana, Karna and all pandavas in great details. It also talks about the injustice of Lord Krishna in too many places. A hero (Lord Krishna here), who is considered as equivalent to God, will never be described as cunning fellow in stories.
There are still so many evidences that these are not stories.
