Valmiki

When Sita finds herself separated from her husband in the woods, she encounters a demigod, Ravana, the demon with ten heads. Ravana tries to pursue Sita, who tells the ten headed demigod, Ravana that he has no clue who he is talking to, and he didn’t have a chance. Sita made it clear that he shouldn’t dare speak to the wife of Rama in that manor, and that she held her husband, herself and their relationship to high standards stating this about Rama, “His name is renowned throughout the world, his eyes are large, his arms strong. He is virtuous, honest, truthful, and devoted to the welfare of all people” (Ramayana of Valmiki, Book 3. Sarga 45, 903). This line proves how highly Sita thinks of Rama, what high standards she has in a man. Standards that Ravana could never reach, she made that clear on page 904 of our text where she says to Ravana, “As for you, you are a jackal in the presence of a lioness, to come here seeking me, whom you can never have. You could no more touch me than touch the radiance of the Sun (The Ramayana of Valmik, Book 3. Sarga 45, 904). If you are even slighty familiar with Eastern culture you would know that there are very specific gender roles, today women of the West feel that Women of the East are extremely suppressed and lack rights. So you can imagine how out of the ordinary it would’ve been, especially in this time period…

set out to show her take of the Ramayana after she herself got dumped by her husband. The Multi-stylistic approach to the film was very carefully put together in a colorful and vibrant fashion that brought the story to life and showed a drift kind of viewpoint to the myth witch differed from the myth I had read. There are many people with different viewpoints on the film some see it with excellent artistic values which contains lovely illustrations, as well as humor and the presentation…

During the time of The Ramayana India 's society was largely patriarchal and women were expected to be perfect wives that were submissive to their husbands (Trautmann, 88). This idea was especially present among castes that were of a higher class, much like the lives that Rama and Sita were born into. Upon first glance it appear as though Sita is nothing more than a product of her time; a young and naive princess that is all too willing to sacrifice everything for her husband and follow the…

CHAPTER 1 1.1 INTRODUCTION Once upon a time, Maharishi Valmiki wanted to enlighten himself on the concept of an ideal individual or rather, an ideal man. Sage Narada, who is known particularly for his devotion and love for Lord Vishnu, and his chants of ‘Narayana Narayana’, came to the rescue. He recited a tale of an individual, the perfectionist or Mr. Ideal, in modern terms, and enlightened Valmiki. After a few days, a hunter was roaming in the forest and was in pursuit of a kraunchya bird.…

The epic Ramayana was written by Valmiki around 1000 B.C.E. The epic was written in India where Valmiki is struck with inspiration; he later pairs Ramayana and sloka (grief) to make a greater story. In an epic battle where forces of evil kidnap the noble prince Rama’s wife Sita. Subsequently, a bloody battle between two interesting characters with allies in both parties initiates where at the end only one will keep standing. Rama and Vibishina provide codes to live by in one’s society; Ravana…

The relationship between men and women in the texts are similar to what we have read in the ancient Greek and Indian texts The Iliad, The Odyssey and The Ramayana of Valmiki. There is a blatant divide between the status of the sexes, men are again the dominant gender, who rule and do as they please, while the women are once again just a part of man 's world. Like the Ramayana of Valmiki, men were allowed to have multiple wives, concubines and other relations, but such acts would be deemed…

The time has changed a lot since Valmiki wrote the great epic Ramayana. The roles, responsibilities and values for people’s and personal lives have faced a massive change. The mentality of people completely changed. This change of mentality has also affected a married life, the big and one of the most important aspects in India. It was important in the period of Ramayana. It is important now. So what is the factor that brought the topic of marriage here? Because, if there is something in…

Marriage is when a man and a woman are bonded by the sacred act of matrimony to begin a family. The bible has conditioned many to believe that woman were made for man and men were made for women. At the top of one 's head, an ideal couple 's relationship should be built on trust, respect, and commitment. The epic Ramayana of Valmiki describes Rama to be the ideal man since he has a strong faith in dharma and is an incarnation of Vishnu, thus making Sita the ideal women. Rama is loved by his…

we both share is individualism. I also share the same character trait as Rama from “The Ramayana” by Valmiki. The trait that I share with Rama is strategic. My personal code focuses on individualistic and strategic. I feel that I am similar to the character Winston Smith from 1984, and Rama from “The Ramayana”. One…
