Ramayana – the serial

Nowadays, there is a lock down in India. There is a replay of Ramsay on TV. The one from Ramanada Sagar.

People loved it then. And maybe love it now

However, one must have subtle discernment. Most of the dialogue in the TV serial is made up. With almost a political agenda.

Valmiki and Tulsidas did not have any of the dialogue.
Watching the serial can give you wrong impression of you have not read the original books.

1). Sita is the primary Goddess. She never cried. Or ever got upset. Or scared. She was so powerful that Ravana could not even touch her shadow.
2) There is a dialogue of Vasistha muni teaching meditation and Chakra. It is quite inaccurate

On the subject of Chakra there is no one who has the slightest experience. NO ONE. NO ONE
Let’s take Muladhar Chakra. The lowest Chakra. A person with mastery over this knows all past and future in a trice.

When I was younger I saw some of the higher siddhi. Much higher than this from a person. So I believe them to be true.

So one should stop this Chakra nonsense. People are like infants imagining a toy plane and thinking they are pilots

What is the problem with these TV series? Right now those who have watched it if I ask them to imagine Rama. They will have the image of the actor. You will not be able to see Rama like Valmiki did

On the other hand the interpretation of Ramayana by Chinmayananda was good and a delight to watch. But exactly what a yogi sees but still impressive

So watch it. But keep mind open. Learn from a yogi !
