i wanted to write this since a long while ago...
since the moment I joined IF.. i have seen ppl lamenting about the "real" or the "correct" story...
Jalandhar was the high point whr ppl became wary of the "real Jalandhar" not being shown and now Ramayan...
very recently many ppl wondered tht whether Mahadev visited Dashrath as a Kiraat..?? In which Puraan it is written..??? etc etc..
its true tht DKDM did twist stories beyond recognition... the "original stories"
I wonder tht the aim of those "original" stories have been to make people realise the values and the things tht are good and evil.. by way of "events" or allegorical stories..!!
those "real" stories also serve as a medium to make us understand certain subtle realities tht we all FEEL but neither understand nor realise...
and these subtle realities are beyond any correct story... they are the realisations of the human themselves..
say for example in the Kiraat epi... all were looking for the "source of the story".. but did anybody even listen wat Mahadev said b4...??
tht giving an alternative to Dashrath was His duty and accepting or not accepting is his right.
I wonder that everybody of us must have faced a predicament as "to be or not to be" or "to do or not to do"
in such situations we look for answers... we feel tht "somebody" from our conscience trying to help us to find the way... Is not the voice is the voice of God..??
Mahadev cuming as Kiraat was the very dirrect representation of this very voice tht we all hear...!!
Through our conscience, He gives us the alternative... what we choose is our Right..!!!
have we ever as audience tried to even understand this sublime fact wen the other myhtos showed the "real" stories...???
For me... its a NO...!!!
for me... only wen DKDM came in... I tried to connect myself with the distorted stories... and believe me..., these distortions had a deep impact upon me, tht many "real" stories never ever had..
in a way I am glad... tht these distrotions open avenues to discover our own self... which is beyond any "correct story"...!!
