RAMAYANA AND MAHABHARATA – GUIDELINES FOR ART OF LIVING WITH PEACE – By N.S.Venkataraman<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\"RAMAYANA<\/p>\n

\"N.S.Venkataraman\"Counter productive and wasteful views have been expressed\u00a0 by some critics ,expressing doubts as to whether the events mentioned in the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata\u00a0 could have really taken place or \u00a0they were only\u00a0\u00a0 stories written by\u00a0 talented writers and poets\u00a0 with imaginative capability. Such views have been expressed from time to time over the years by a small section of people. However, billions of people around the world have rejected such views . It is totally \u00a0unnecessary to question\u00a0 whether the events \u00a0described in Ramayana and Mahabharata were\u00a0\u00a0 factual or mere stories.<\/span><\/p>\n

Essence of Rmayana and Mahabharata :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0The essence of Ramayana and Mahabharata are the guidelines that they lay down , \u00a0\u00a0as to how people should lead\u00a0\u00a0 quality life\u00a0\u00a0 with high value systems and without \u00a0yielding\u00a0 to negative thoughts such as falsehoods , vengeance\u00a0 and deceit. With several case studies , the epics emphasise firmly that\u00a0 good will prevail over evil and\u00a0 truth would always triumph.<\/span><\/p>\n

These concepts pronounced in Ramayana and Mahabharata are \u00a0also stated in the Hindu religious scriptures\u00a0 namely \u00a0Vedas and Upanishads.\u00a0The phrase “Satyameva Jayate,”\u00a0meaning “Truth alone triumphs,” \u00a0is mentioned in \u00a0the\u00a0Mundaka Upanishad.\u00a0This Upanishad is an ancient Sanskrit Vedic text embedded within the Atharva Veda.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramayana and Mahbharata \u00a0elegantly explains this phrase by describing the sayings \u00a0and actions of\u00a0 Lord Rama and\u00a0\u00a0 Lord Krishna , who are depicted as incarnation of God .<\/span><\/p>\n

Concept of God :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hindu scriptures including the\u00a0Yajurveda and Upanishads, describe God as formless.\u00a0Specifically, the Yajurveda states “He has no image” and the Svetasvatara Upanishad says “There is no likeness of Him”.\u00a0The concept of Brahman, ( God ) , is also understood as formless, with the Rig Veda describing \u00a0\u00a0God as the source of all existence, including all forms of creation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For individuals , there is need to have \u00a0focus while offering \u00a0prayers to God\u00a0 and the devotes emotionally \u00a0and spiritually \u00a0realise Lord Rama and Lord Krishna as the incarnation of God and offer prayers to them in temples and within\u00a0 oneself , as\u00a0many Hindu philosophical schools stress \u00a0that God (Brahman) is within all beings.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The idol worship which is central aspect in the Hindu prayer mode pave way for focusing the mind of devotees \u00a0during prayer to God, to \u00a0make progress towards realisation of God within.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recently,\u00a0 renovated\u00a0 Balarama temple\u00a0 in Ayodhya is visited by\u00a0 millions of devotees , as they\u00a0 realise God\u00a0 in the idol\u00a0 of Lord Balarama.<\/span><\/p>\n

Death<\/u>\u00a0event<\/u>\u00a0:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Death\u00a0 is natural and inevitable event\u00a0 and every one have to be conscious of death possibility all through the life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generally, people are reluctant to accept\u00a0 that death\u00a0 may happen to them soon. When dear and near ones pass away, there is a moment of introspection on the event of death\u00a0 but soon ,the onlookers reconcile themselves \u00a0to the thought that for them , the death event would not happen anytime soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

This thought process of humans have been mentioned in Mahabharata . In the Mahabharata, during the period of hardship in the forest, Yiudhishtra was asked by Yaksha ( a celestial being ) about the greatest wonder in the world. Yudhishtira replied that most surprising thing is how people believe \u00a0as if they are eternal, despite the constant presence of death.<\/span><\/p>\n

After death what ? :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Then, the question arises after death what?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Bhagwan \u00a0Sri Ramana Maharshi, one of the deep thinkers and great exponents of Hindu philosophy\u00a0 said \u00a0that there is\u00a0 a way\u00a0 to find answer to the question on what after death . Either one has to\u00a0 resort to self introspection ( atma vichara\u00a0 in Sanskrit )\u00a0 or total surrender to God without questioning. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In this context, Bhagawat Gita says that few out of millions of people can only realise the self and presence of God within\u00a0 by introspection.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Mundako\u00a0 Upanishad , there is a famous passage which highlights the fact that\u00a0 atman\u00a0 ( soul –\u00a0 individual\u2019s real self ) cannot be known merely by lengthy explanation of the scriptures nor is it known by the intellect, not even by profound scholarship.<\/span><\/p>\n

During introspection, when the mind comes to end \u00a0of its \u00a0resources and stands confused before the unanswerable question on what after death, then , \u00a0it will be realised that total surrender to God is the only way to realise the God within and get the feeling of eternal bliss, ,which is the ultimate state.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramayana and Mahabharata narrates several events to \u00a0explain that the only path is to totally surrender \u00a0oneself to God and in the process ,discover the God within.<\/span><\/p>\n

Path to art of living :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting the essence of Hindu religious scriptures ,Ramayana and Mahabharata provides ways and means for the art of living with mental peace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ramayana and Mahabharata clearly lay stress about \u00a0the need to pull away the mental thoughts in individuals to higher values,\u00a0 by understanding the futility of material world and material desires, which are often accompanied by feelings of jealousy, greed and violence.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These great epics \u00a0\u00a0enunciate that\u00a0 adherence to truth\u00a0 and total surrender to God is the only way to lead life of mental peace and harmony , which obviously indicates that detachment , enmity towards none\u00a0 and compassion for all is needed , as one leads active life .<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the principle of Sanatana dharma, the much respected and venerated concept in Hindu scriptures.<\/span><\/p>\n

Eternal epics :<\/u><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Ramayana and Mahabharata will always remain as the epics \u00a0for all time to come , providing the ultimate guidelines for the art of living with peace in the world .<\/span><\/p>\n

Any query whether Ramayana and Mahabharata are real events\u00a0 is absolutely\u00a0 unnecessary \u00a0and wasteful thought process.<\/span><\/p>\n
