Why Did Surpanakha Approach Rama For Marriage? : Indian Mythology In Modernity Ep 14
With the controversies going around #adipurush it is important to go back to the roots of the epic #ramayana and search for the most startling stories of important characters, their lives, dreams, desires and vengeance. Our story for today is on #surpanakha , sister of Ravana, Vibhisana and Kumbhakarna. What was her revenge story? What happened to her after the war of Lanka?

    Mythology have been so confusing , full of interpretation/ misinterpretation . Now I can understand little bit of from where the ancient temple carvings of nude statutes of humans & half human half animals have been immerged . It is pleasure to see you talking about these facts and interpreting your views . But also sometimes when a feminist interpret certain readings she may read it from her perspective while a person who isn't so may interpret it from a different perspective . But sincerely I appreciate & admire your work in this field 🙏 Jay Shree Krishna . Can you suggest ur finding or any secret book on Radha ? Was she a lover ? Wife ? Heart of Krishna ? Or is she a yogini ? Seek some book which provides solutions instead confuse more .

    Thank you Oindrila for your research in so depth of Indian Spirituality. This is like an ocean with many streams. Still I think, this is worth time to bring such type of topic, which are apparently controversial or confusing. Indians has no interest in our own subjects. This will grow interest. Your description is for heighest level of Yogies or for secret tantriks in our society and will be confusing to common people for your description on mother, son,wife relationship. This is why the Veda and Tantra were kept in secret. Still with the sense of Plurality of a single God or Paramatma, everything can be explained. This type of Suktas I have seen many times in the Veda. In Matangi Vidya this same ritual is accepted. But Knowledge rather Wisdom and Society are different entities. For the Society, those are only accepted which are called "Reet". Means system or discipline or order. Those are beneficial to nature, mankind and society are accepted discipline or order. " Reeteno Satyam Indriya Bipana Sukram Andhasa, Indrasya Indriyam Idaam, Payah Amreetam Madhu." If you have any regular classes anywhere or teaches on Indology or Oriental Spiritual subjects, please state that. I will try to attain. The quest on Our subjects is now almost zero among Bengali. It is nice to see you are working and trying to konw about your own heritage. May the Holy Mother bless you.

      Mata Parvati is adi shakti she has a lot of forms. Lord Ganesh is always the son of Maa Parvati but his wife is Shakti one of the forms of the Supreme Shakti. That is what I understand. Mata Lakshmi and Mata Saraswati are also forms of Shakti, they are different entity yet one and the same.
