DHARM WE GET WHEN RAM DISMANTLED SHIV DHANUSH

If you feel Ramayan is history, you have to remove the coating of myth from this history. Dharm Gurus will NOT do this. why? Because the more the emotional content of religion, the MORE the EARNINGS. 

Hindu religion classifies Ramayan as ITIHAAS, meaning History. That certainly means that no Supernatural or Miraculous powers were available to any of the characters of Ramayan. That also means that for humans, GOD SITTING IN HEAVENS WILL NOT LAY DOWN Dharmic rules, but a NORMAL human, as incarnation, would lay down rules.

That also means every event in which Shri Ram or Mata Sita were involved would provide a Dharm, yet no religious leader has made efforts to tell Hindus about this.

Here we shall be discussing Dharm that we get if we follow the History that is Ramayan. More specifically the Dharm we get when Ram dismantled Shiv Dhanush.

When we start finding out Dharm(s) from Ramayan, we also get an answer whether the void that are in Ramayan and which require construction has been correctly constructed.

After the VADH of Tadaka, Marechi was sent to Lanka to persuade and bring Ravan for negotiations in a fast Vimaan which looked like an arrow. King Janak also participated in the deliberations and one of the things that were agreed was that Weapon of Mass Destruction, Shiv Dhanush would be dismantled immediately. Janak decided that he would arrange a swambar, where the king/prince, whose team could dismantle Shiv Dhanush, would be married to Sita. Read : RAMAYAN AND HISTORY

We know that Ram fell in love after he saw Sita in a garden immediately before the swamber. The love’s visibility was so obvious that even Lakshman could gauge it and felt that Sita would be his Bhabi/Mata.

Now the Dharm today and in Treta Yug was and IS the SAME. Such love need to be pursued to the logical conclusion. Ram had also assessed that Sita was also in love with him. We know that Ram/Lakshman were accompanying Sage Vishvamitra and they had been invited to SEE (not participate in) the swambar. Ram could have directly or indirectly indicated to Sage Vishvamitra his intention to participate in the swambar, but he chooses not to do so.

Why? Was it wrong or right?

As earlier said Ram/Lakshman was on a mission which was being pursued by Sage Vishvamitra, and the mission was not complete. The mission would be complete after satisfactory dismantling of Shiv Dhanush, and maximum number of kingdoms endorsing/consenting to dismantling of Shiv Dhanush. Remember every Yug had its own way of recording a consent or decent. Kings and prince’s participation in the contest would automatically get registered as consent. As such, since Ram was on a serious humanitarian mission, his Dharm forbid him to think of other things except the mission.

The Dharm we get from the fact that Shri Ram did NOT declare his desire to contest is as follows:

When a person is on a mission for Humanity, Nation building, he/she is supposed to remain focused on the mission and under NO circumstances deviate/expect/accept any personal benefit out of it. Shri Ram did just that.

We also know when the entire kings failed to dismantle Shiv Dhanush Shrhei Ram(wn Sage Vishvamitra asked him to do so) dismantled it and claimed Sita’s hand in marriage.

INTERPRETATION and INTERPOLATION in Ramayan 

Vaanars were not monkeys but evolved humans in Ramayan

God INCARNATES in Human form as RAM and SITA to reduce Adharm

Hindu text and Dharm has classified Ramayan and Mahabharat as ITIHAAS; the meaning of which is History. Since Hindus firmly believe that Lord Vishnu incarnates in Human form as and when the proportion of Adharm reaches unmanageable level, Ramayan as Itihaas assumes greater responsibility for proper information about Dharm. History can be narrative and in story form, so that it can be understood by a commoner. No serious interpretation is required. All we have to accept and understand is that important events in Shri Ram’s life will provide Dharm.

However this fact that “all important events in Shri Ram’s life will provide Dharm” does not go well with Hindu preachers. The reason being that after the advent of TV serials on Ramayan and Mahabharat, it is no longer possible to manipulate Dharm, if they accept ‘all important events in Shri Ram’s life will provide Dharm’. We can straight away understand that Sanskrit and SHLOKS (which only preacher can pronounce and not an ordinary person) are not required to understand Dharm. As such the preachers and the Gurus do not want to simplify things. This is retarding the growth of society.

The other big phobia that is being passed on from generations and which is retarding the growth of the society, and taking us backward too, is the following:- 

1. To understand Hindu Dharm, one has to be properly initiated in the process of Hindu Sanatan Dharm. No one can deny that one needs basic information and education about Dharm…BUT WHERE IS THE CENTRALIZED AUTHORITY? How would the masses know that they are NOT being cheated and manipulated by saffron clad Sanskrit verses reciting THUGS? 
2. Dharm needs Brahmins, Pundits for performing Rituals associated with it. This is totally WRONG and erroneous. Only the physical performing part of the Religion is classified by ancient Maharishis as Dharm. This does NOT require any Pooja or Rituals. For details one can read my earlier post DHARM and RELIGION3. The response of readers that it is only here that Ramayan as a part of ancient history, can actually be accepted and understood as HISTORY, exposes the reason why, statistically, Hindu society is moving downhill. Manipulation of Hindu society by religious preachers and Gurus is the root cause and it is increasing. 

No one after reading the post : HINDU HISTORY... START OF A NEW KALP, has had any problem in accepting the VAANARS to be Humans growing and developing in forests. If one just give this a thought one will find that incarnation, completely eliminates the need of Guru or preachers, as Dharm being simple could be understood by everyone. Religious PROPAGATORS, OR GURUS, because of their NON-SOCIETY-CENTRIC ATTITUDE are unable to accept even the real meaning of Incarnation. Incarnation means accepting characters in Ramayan and Mahabharat as humans having NO SUPERNATURAL or MIRACULOUS powers. 

DHARM or RELIGION has to be made simple; And it is SIMPLE. Please DO NOT DECIEVE the Masses. Dharm or Hindu Religion (the physical performing part), can be taught by any preacher in any language, and it is NOT necessary that the preacher should know Sanskrit. However one has to understand that edition Valmiki’s Ramayan, which is the basis of all subsequent Ramayan(s), in various languages, was produced by sages for Kalyug about 4500 yeas earlier. After that no further edition has been received. We know that after Mahabharat, civilized society was completely destroyed by Barbarianism and natural calamities. 

As such, at around 2500 BC, Stone Age started, with no known history because of the massive destruction. Surely these Stone Age Humans, in order to reach here, must have passed through various stage of growth, agony, attitude to accept or reject certain things, pertaining to religion and other issues. Considering the above circumstances it is indeed credible that Ramayan did not go through massive misinterpretation. 

However certain interpretations which were used till now must give way to more realistic and actual interpretations. At places Valmiki Ramayan contains explanations (which has nothing to do with actual event, and as such can be ignored), which were used earlier when less information was available, but why are they being used now is serious manipulation. Ex: During Agni Pariksha of Sita, Agni Dev testified about purity of Sita. Please note this is an explanation and has no use in information age. 

I repeat, DharmGurus, are manipulating real meaning of Incarnation. Incarnation means accepting characters in Ramayan and Mahabharat as humans having NO SUPERNATURAL or MIRACULOUS powers. We must connect Dharm with the welfare of Hindu Society…But so far this is missing.

All readers and Hindu Society must do something.
