Mother's Blessings Comments

Kaushalya, the mother of Rama, sending off her daughter-in-law Sita with her blessings as well as those of forefathers and the ancestors. So wonderful to read. Thanks. This is Law for race of Raghu known on earth for holy might, Bounteous in their sacred duty, brave and warlike in the fight!

A master piece in Hindu mythology- Epic Ramayana 's extract superbly translated. Thanks for sharing.

The family values of Hindus are written in this poem and these values are strictly followed by the staunch Hindus..in Hindu society men are considered as the Heads and one rung above the women, even if they are the young male children. we have never let them to do the following works: cooking, cleaning, babysitting, changing the nappies and other menial works reserved for the women. One more important factor you all must know is, that we call our spouse in plural. For example instead of telling he has come back home, we are telling They have (only one person) come back home.. Modern and westernized Indian Hindu girls and women are losing their identity, calling their spouses singularly without any respect and force them to do all kinds of work in the name of LOVE and equality..

Valmiki is known as the harbinger-poet in Sanskrit literature. The epic Ramayana is believed to be written by him. He is honored as the First Poet, because he is said to have invented shloka (i.e. first verse or epic metre) , which set the base and defined the form to Sanskrit poetry. (Wikipedia] I know that has little to do with commenting on this poem but I knew nothing about him and hoped to gain insight into his poetry through his life. Will search elsewhere. As far as this poem, there is a firm moral basis for marriage and other human relationships that is very refreshing.

why we send our sons to battle instead our daughters to arrange peace that would be something? ? ?

A great epic story that too on values of life and it is beautifully told in this poem.
