Epics of India

I'm not sure when you'll read this, but here's how it began: I was out for a walk in the woods when a sudden feeling of extreme dizziness overtook me - everything became a blur, with distant flashes of memories, and I had a sudden sensation of... something  in me being... pierced. It wasn't something physical and I wasn't bleeding. It was just as if I was...less. After that, I always had a weight on my soul that left me always vaguely tired, even after resting all day. The solution of course: coffee. The three-times-a-day caffeine rush combated the lethargy and helped me feel normal again. That week, my life began - that's when I met Ale. We hit it off right away, but I think I fell in love with her over the phone way before we actually met. I think meeting her caused some kind of reaction, though. The first few incidents were minor. Berenstein Bears, the children's stories about a lovable family of bears, changed to Berenstain Bears. A couple of days la...

Notes taken based on " The Divine Archer " by F. J. Gould in 1911. Part B begins after Sita is taken away by Ravana, due to some...questionable decisions by both Rama and Lakshmana.

I don't want no war with Rama," was not on good terms with Ravana. Vibhishana tells Hanuman where Sita is so Hanuman goes there and gives Sita Rama's ring. He then tears up...

Notes taken based on " The Divine Archer " by F. J. Gould in 1911. I appreciate prose versions of texts. It always seems like I never get a fully adequate understanding on my first read through of the original version. It's on the second read through of a different version that helps fill in the gaps. Rama and Lakshmana taken from Wikipedia Section 1  The Divine Archer The birth of Rama...it feels like so long ago that we began this journey through the Ramayana. And here we are again. The gods are overjoyed and everyone is happy due to Rama's birth. And of course, the scene with Kaushalya, seeing her baby transform into a cosmic being for an instant. But of course, this is just normal for a mother, right? A mother always sees greatness in her son. Rama and Lakshmana - name a more iconic duo. I always enjoy reading about the two brother's adventures because they're so loyal to each other. Section 2 Rama and Sita meet, and it's love at first...
