Ramayana full length PDF Ebook

Ramayana The Ramayana is an ancient Hindu text about Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu. It tells the story of the righteous prince Rama and his rescue of his wife Sita after her abduction by the demon king Ravana. I am sorry, we do not have this in Hindi or Kannada. They might be available at archive.org. This version of Ramayana is retold in English by C. Rajagopalachari and edited by Jay Mazo, American Gita Society. From the book: "You cannot count on the physical proximity of someone you love all the time. A seed that sprouts at the foot of its parent tree remains stunted until it is transplanted. Rama will be in my care, and he will be quite well. But ultimately, he will leave me, too. When the time comes, every human has to depart to seek his fulfilment in his way."

Summary of The Ramayana

The Ramayana is one of the two major Sanskrit epics of ancient India, the other being the Mahabharata. Here's a summary with its main highlights: - Authorship and Origin: Attributed to the sage Valmiki, the Ramayana is believed to have been written between the 4th and 2nd centuries BCE. - Main Characters: - Rama: The prince of Ayodhya and the seventh avatar of Vishnu. - Sita: Rama's wife and the incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi. - Lakshmana: Rama's loyal brother. - Hanuman: The devoted monkey god and a staunch ally of Rama. - Ravana: The ten-headed demon king of Lanka who abducts Sita. - Plot: - Exile: Rama is exiled from Ayodhya for 14 years due to palace intrigue. Sita and Lakshmana choose to join him in the forest. - Abduction of Sita: Ravana deceives and kidnaps Sita, taking her to his kingdom in Lanka. - Search for Sita: Rama and Lakshmana search for Sita, forming alliances along the way, most notably with the monkey king Sugriva and Hanuman. - Bridge to Lanka: With the help of the monkey army, a bridge (Rama Setu) is built across the sea to Lanka. - Battle of Lanka: A great battle ensues between Rama's forces and Ravana's army. Rama eventually kills Ravana and rescues Sita. - Return to Ayodhya: After the battle, Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana return to Ayodhya, where Rama is crowned king. - Sita's Trial: Due to rumours about her purity, Sita undergoes a trial by fire to prove her innocence. She emerges unscathed, proving her innocence. - Sita's Exile: Despite the trial, rumours persist, and Rama reluctantly sends Sita into exile. She gives birth to Rama's twin sons, Lava and Kusha, during her removal. - Reunion and Ascension: Eventually, Rama reunites with his sons. After proving her purity once again, Sita asks Mother Earth to take her back, and the earth swallows her. Rama later returns to his divine form, concluding his earthly mission. - Themes: - Dharma: The concept of duty and righteousness is a central theme. - Loyalty and Devotion: Exemplified by characters like Hanuman, Lakshmana, and Sita. - Good vs. Evil: The battle between Rama and Ravana symbolises the eternal battle between good and evil. - Chastity and Honor: Sita's trials emphasise the importance of honour and purity in the epic. - Influence: The Ramayana has profoundly influenced Indian culture, art, and literature. It has been retold in various languages and adapted into numerous plays, films, and television series. This is a concise summary, and the Ramayana, in its entirety, is a rich tapestry of tales, lessons, and characters that delve deep into human emotions, values, and the concept of Dharma.

Can I expect any new fic on DrauKarn from you ? PS I absolutely adore your works ❤

First of all! Hello, Anon! Thank you so much for dropping by! This makes me feel SO GOOD! Phew! Nostalgia all over! SO, Thank you for sending this message!

And as for DrauKarna, Ah! Yes! I remember how I'd read 'Palace of Illusions' and loved it to bits, (and the StarB cast was SO GOOD-LOOKING and GIF-worthy that I'd absolutely loved that pairing to bits, and have written quite a few works on it myself, none as good as the ones that already existed :P), and now, if I write about them, (not sure if I shall in the same vein as before, since C. Rajagopalachari's version has really served to un-ship in my mind), it might be in some other form. Maybe an alternate universe in this day and age? Maybe some other version in the same timeline and universe if canon-compliant (certainly not in a romantic sense)? But if inspiration does happen to strike and blow my writers' block to smithereens, and I'm back to my full-fledged amateur writing, then, surely, but in a different form, and possibly with a LOT of warnings?

This is me thinking :D

And this is me with my heart melting in love for stopping by with this ask!

[demonkidpliz]

Have you read the Mahabharata? If you have, do you have any translated recommendations? I want to read it but the only language I can read is English and the shows are not always accurate

Hi, anon. I have read many variations of both the Ramayan and the Mahabharat in English and Bengali but my favourite has to be the one by C. Rajagopalachari. It's simple and to the point and sticks to the authentic scriptures as much as possible. It's also not very long. Please give it a try. Please do not watch any shows or read any mythological fanfiction to learn about the actual story. He has a Ramayan as well but his Mahabharat is unparalleled.

[stxrrynxghts]

hi, i js recently got hardcore invested into the little things abt my religion which i never rlly bothered to check b4 ( sorry for how bad that sounds )

ur tumblr is a breath of fresh air in all honesty bc i would love to have some1 who i can talk to more abt my religion to..

anyways the main point is, i read a book called palace of illusions and it's based on mahabharata, and it said that draupudi had a crush on karna and i was heavily confused because i never heard that, i checked on google and there were slightly mixed opinions which added to my confusion

so what r ur thoughts? sorry how silly this sounded, i js started reading more abt mahabharata, thank you!!!

Hi! First of all, it is so good that you have decided to learn more about our religion, good start! And I am realy grateful that you find my blog useful!

The palace of illusions is mostly regarded as a heavily inaccurate retelling of the Mahabharata, tho I haven't read it myself. I think my friend @chaanv might shed more light to this matter than me XD.

If you wish to read a decent source on MB, I would suggest you to read Mahabharata unraveled by Ami Ganatra, or C. Rajagopalachari's Mahabharata, since they are pretty short and simple, so that you can understand the basic view of the story overall.

I personally prefer BORI CE Mahabharata, since it is very detailed and considered the most authentic translation of the Mahabharata, KMG Mahabharata comes a 2nd close to it. If you prefer reading in Hindi, check out Gita Press's works.

About my thoughts, as far as I have read, Draupadi never liked Karna in that way, and he certainly despised her a lot, but books like the one you mentioned....like to state otherwise.

The Other 'Kalki' - T. Sadasivam and the origins of the 'Kalki' magazine

Thiagaraja Sadasivam, better known as 'Kalki' Sadasivam, was an Indian freedom fighter, singer, journalist and film producer. In his later years, he'd come to be more well known as the husband of the renowned musician M.S. Subbulakshmi.

R. Krishnamurthy, better known as Kalki, was a Tamil writer, journalist, poet, critic and Indian independence activist who wrote under several pen-names like Tumbi, Tamil Teni, Karnatakam, Langulan, Agastyar, Ra Ki, Yaman, Vivasayi, Petron, Guhan, Tamil Magan, etc. but what captured his readers' fancy is the pseudonym 'Kalki'.

T. Sadasivam and R. Krishnamurthy worked at Gemini Vasan's (who owned the legendary Gemini Studios as well) 'Ananda Vikatan' in 1930s but both left the magazine in the late 1930s, due to personal (Sadasivam's marriage with MS was scandalous for the times) and political (Vasan often got into trouble with the British government due to Krishnamurthy's works) reasons.

From T. J. S. George's M.S Subbulakshmi: The Definitive Biography :

Sadasivam must have admired his own luck at that point. For he had not only the most marketable literary property at his disposal but also the most valuable musical property as well . . . With Rajagopalachari giving his approval to the idea, all three were inspired to take the plunge.

Krishnamurthi, Rajaji, Sadasivam

Rajaji, M S Subbulakshmi, Sadasivam

The name of the magazine suggested itself. Krishnamurthi’s writings had spread his pen name ‘Kalki’ so far and wide that Kalki as a magazine title would have the priceless advantage of instant recognition. That indeed turned out to be the case. Not only the originator of the pen name but also the manager-proprietor too would henceforth be identified by the magazine’s name; they would always be known as Kalki Krishnamurthi and Kalki Sadasivam.

Thanks to MS’s film successes, he found many a wealthy financier knocking at his doors ready to invest in her. But Sadasivam was not open to their ideas; they had to be open to his. Such a stipulation kept potential investors at bay until a film director named Y. V. Rao came along. His idea sounded preposterous . . . He would make up the shortfall in the Kalki capital, he said, if Subbulakshmi would act as Narada in a film he was planning to make, titled Savithri. Sadasivam felt scandalized. MS as a male character!

For Rao that was precisely the point. MS in male attire would act as an irresistible magnet for the masses . . . After holding discussions with Rajaji and Krishnamurthi and after making a few teasing references to the idea in conversation with MS herself, Sadasivam said yes to Rao . . .

The first issue of Kalki

It took no time for Kalki to make a mark. That period was characterized by tremendous turbulence as a result of the war in Europe and Asia and the independence movement in India entering decisive phases. . . . Every day was a news day. The public appetite was keen for both incisive political commentaries and elevating literary works. Kalki Krishnamurthi’s pen satisfied the popular taste. Sadasivam’s managerial prowess found new inspiration in proprietorship. Combining creative credibility with entrepreneurial vitality, Kalki quickly grew into a part of Tamil history. Krishnamurthi, Sadasivam and Subbulakshmi, with Rajagopalachari hovering as a ‘presiding deity’, symbolized the vanguard of a virtual cultural renaissance in the Brahminic world of Madras. It would reach a peak with new historical novels appearing in a serialized form in the pages of the magazine—Ponniyin Selvan and Sivakamiyin Sapatham.

Krishnamurthy's daughter Anandi was married to Sadasivam's nephew Ramachandran and Sadasivam's daughter Vijaya was married to Krishnamurthy's son Rajendran.

[yeyinde]

do you have any recs for folklore/mythology books to learn from or docs/videos?

I have tonnes!!! I prefer non-fiction books when it comes to mythology, with the exception of American Gods and Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman, and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. This one is more history focused but it blends the mythology and culture of Nigeria/Igbo folklore. I would recommend it to anyone just looking for a really good book to read about culture, history, the perception of masculinity within that culture, and of course, the negative effects of colonisation, and the history of pre-colonisation in Nigeria. It's one of my favourite history books by a really amazing author and poet! Def recommend.

I tried to focus on mythology that is not as widely popularised as others since they are often harder to find. But here are some of the ones that I enjoyed! Most of them were available at my public library as well so if you can't find them in stores or online, that's always another good place to look for mythology books/refs!

Books:

Myths from Mesopotamia by Stephanie Dalley

Voices from the Other World: Ancient Egyptian Tales by Naguib Mahfouz

Conceptions of God in Ancient Egypt: The One and the Many by Erik Hornung

Indaba, my Children: African Folktales by Vusamazulu Credo Mutwa (this is a massive encyclopedia at 700 pages but sooooo worth it!)

Folktales from India by A.K. Ramanujan

Myth = Mithya: Decoding Hindu Mythology by Devdutt Pattanaik (also: The Goddess in India: The 5 faces of Eternal Feminism, 99 thoughts on Ganesha: stories, symbols and Rituals of India's beloved Elephant Headed Deity, and the Pregnant King are really good)

Myth and Reality: Studies in the Formation of Indian Culture by Damodar Dharmananda Kosambi

The Ramayana & Mahabharata by Chakravarti Rajagopalachari (these are epics but OH GOD they are fantastic!)

Irish Mythology - this is a massive tumblr reference with books and guides on where to find Irish Folklore

I've really been enjoying the Chronical Books series on mythology - if only for the illustrations. My favourite so far is Tales of East Africa by Jamilla Okubo, Tales of India: Folktales from Bengal, Punjab, and Tamil Nadu by Svabhu Kohli and Viplov Singh. I wouldn't really say these are super important for mythology - the stories are very basic (not in a bad way at all, just less in-depth since I believe the books are geared toward a younger audience) but the art alone makes them worth it!

Mythology by Edith Hamilton is usually a good introduction to Greek, Roman, and Norse myths

The Prose Edda: Tales from Norse Mythology by Snorri Sturluson

Videos:

Trese on Netflix - it's about Philippine mythology told in modern times, and just an amazing show on its own!

The Entire Story of Greek Mythology Explained - it's 3.5 hours but WORTH IT!

I don't really watch too many videos on mythology, but I do on history and culture. It's just kinda hard to find mythology/folklore specific videos but since it's often interwoven within the cultures respective history, I watch Smithsonian docs on their history instead.

I really hope this helps!!!

[khaleesiofalicante]

To the anon asking about Hindu Mythology:

1. Online research will definitely help but it's vast and you may find conflicting versions of stories sometimes. Speakingtree is a website which has these concise slideshow type things as a jumping off point but only if you know what you're looking for.

2. An Indian comic creator called Uncle Pai started a sort of comic book series called 'Amar Chitra Katha' as a way to get kids interested in Hindu mythology. These are quick reads and you can find most stories of Hindu myth in this series if you look. Added bonus being these are pretty well researched so no worries on that front.

3. If you're interested in the epics (Ramayana and Mahabharata), I liked C. Rajagopalachari's translations

Thank you for this! So helpful. Annie, here you go.

[sivavakkiyar]

I can’t even bring myself to post or bring up the Ramanujan essay and the banning again etc etc. By all rights as Indians that essay should be outdated to two years since it was published, the only reason it even still seems relevant theoretically is context of idiots who hate whatever they didn’t suck out of a Rajagopalachari book or whatever. Actually they read pulp scifi takes now right?

[soujjwalsays]

The year was 1950, the young nation of India celebrated it's first Republic Day.

India’s first Republic Day began with C Rajagopalachari proclaiming India a Sovereign Democratic Republic at the Rashtrapati Bhavan.

Today, for the first time in our long and chequered history,”he said “We find the whole of this vast land brought together under the jurisdiction of one consititution of one union which takes over responsibility for the welfare of more than 320 million men and women who inhabit it.”

- Dr Rajendra Prasad taking the oath as India’s first President

The chief guest on occasion was Indonesian President Dr Sukarno. On Nehru’s request, Delhi University had organised a special convocation to confer an honorary PhD on Sukarno. One moment to be remembered from this ceremony was the riveting role reversal between two of Asia’s charismatic leaders. It was common practice for Nehru to conclude his speeches by shouting Jai Hind. Then, he would say “Louder!” and the crowd would satisfy his demand.

A cartoon from HT published on 24 January showing Chairman of the Drafting Committee (and later Law Minister) B R Ambedkar holding an infant Republic of India while Mother India lays in bed exhausted from labour. Around him stand Dr Rajendra Prasad and Nehru, looking anxiously.

A 31-gun salute welcomed Dr Prasad to the first ever Republic Day celebrations. Dr Prasad proceeded to take a round of the amphitheatre, this time in a jeep, while saluting the 3,000 armed forces that had gathered there, after which he hoisted the tricolour, our national flag for the very first time. Another memorable speech by him was in the offing.

Nearby, in Connaught Place, people of all age groups thronged the streets and crowded restaurants; shops remained illuminated through the day while the Rashtrapati Bhavan lit up at night, marking yet another first of a custom followed till this day. The atmosphere was electric and the spirit of freedom, infectious. India was the first Commonwealth country to have entirely come into its own; it was the biggest national ceremony of the 20th century.

P. S. Guys I really don't know if this goes with algorithm of Tumblr but as an Indian I believe, completing 74 years of republic & democratic dominion is a great milestone and as a proud indian and true patriot, I loved making this post.

So,

HAPPY 74th REPUBLIC DAY 🇮🇳

७४ गणतंत्र दिवस की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं 🇮🇳

The Defeated

So-

I've been away for the longest time, and well, so far, it seems as if it has been ages since I'd written something here, and @demonkidpliz 's writing kind of prompted me to throw it out here. Not that anyone asked for it.

Goodness, it has been so SO LONG! Just tagging people here for a slight knock. I just, love you all so so much, that I'll probably find my way in here eventually! :D

@demonkidpliz @vidhurvrika @bleedinknight @chaanv @alwaysthesideofwonder @raat-jaaga-paakhi @carminavulcana @pratigyakrishnaki @phandomoftheowl @kalpansh

Chapter 1:

The Shadows:

“My Lord,” an earnest call beckoned to him in the midst of a dimly-lit Kridangan. The voice doesn’t serve as an intrusion or an offence, since, his pursuit of the arena is more habitual than practical these days. Yet, a phantom lightness in his being bids him to ignore it.

“He might not have heard us, Mother,” another voice caresses his ear, this time from a boy, probably no older than Abhiman-

Vrikodara closes his eyes, in a desparate attempt to stop himself from recalling the name. 

The resignation in the older woman’s conduct seems to register with him.

“Pardon me, Mother,” he says, hoping they had heard him before they left.

Hoping it would stop them.

—----

“I have no use for sparrers, Mother,” he says, much to the chagrin of the widow who had brought her son along for employment in the Palace of the Kurus. The boy’s Father, he was told, was a soldier in the cavalry of Hastinapura. 

“If My Prince may spare us some consideration,” the lady kept her eyes lowered, much to Bhimasena’s relief, “my late husband, once served as a sparrer for the princes and kings in the castle, as did his father before that,”

“The Younger Queen Mother, was kind enough to refer us to you, My Lord,” she continued, breaking the Second Pandava with every word she spoke.

“Mother,” Bheema managed to speak, “I shall be obliged, if you would be kind enough to speak to The Queen,” he turned his eyes towards the boy, “I’m certain, he shall find employment elsewhere herein,”

He left, with folded hands, and his gaze lowered, before the knot in his chest tightened further.

—----

He had bid the lights to remain extinguished in their chamber. His senses do not let him recall the times when he wanted his chamber to be lit brilliantly as day after the evening prayers. 

Another breath mingles with his, just as familiar to him as his own, just as forlorn to him as his own. He affords himself a momentary reprieve of letting his exhalations synchronise with hers. Her shapely silhouette offers him with some semblance of solace. It behooved him to receive her sobriety. After all, he had always known her to receive his thoughts even before they could make their way to his lips.

—----

“There has been no correspondence from Ekachakra, yet again,” she almost whispers.

Bheema’s hands clasp the edge of the bed, brushing close to that of his wife for that year.

Panchaali lets her right hand rest on his left, hoping to partake her husband’s discomfort. Yet, she doubted if an iota of his grief had been assuaged by any measure.

“Hidimba,” Bheema breathes the name, akin to a prayer, as if expecting his firstborn to walk in through the doors, smiling warmly from ear to ear, unscathed, unblemished, probably an older likeness of the boy he had seen earlier today.

“She’s meteing a punishment that befits the sin I have accrued, it seems,” Panchaali’s breath cuts through the air with its characteristic lotus fragrance. She doesn’t strain a tear either.

Crying would make it easier, she chides herself. 

Crying would lessen my penance, her resolve affirms.

“Hidimba has never been unfair, Panchaali,” he tells her impassively, as she feels the tremor in his voice. 

Another confabulation of silences followed.

[stxrrynxghts]

hi I love your writing! I want to get into reading the Mahabharata but im kinda new (i.e grew up in a hindu family but never really read any of the Vedic texts or anything and now confused lol) could I have any resources or tips? thank you so much!

Hiii!!!

You can try reading C. Rajagopalachari's Ramayan and Mahabharat, for the beginning, to get familiar with the story, and then move on to the unabridged versions of the epics. Like in general for the Vedic lore and all, you can also try out by reading the Amar Chitra Katha comics? As a kid, that's how I began learning about Hindu lore, in general. Thank you!!! <3333

PS, to my followers: if you have any tips do drop them in the comments guyssss
