Ameican Girl Golden Deer of Ramayan

First off, the annual Ramlila by the Shriram Bharatiya Kala Kendra (SBKK) is a full fifty years old this year. What does Ramayana means to a 22-year-old American, Goura Prema?
"I have been raised with the story of Rama and know it by heart. I am a Hare Rama devotee. In fact, I first played the golden deer in a Ramlila adaptation in America when I was all of five years old." I came here after seeing a Ramlila production of the SBKK at ISKON temple, where I was staying" she says.

Mareecha uncle of Rama did not like to be killed by the wicked King Ravana. That is why Mareecha took the form of the golden deer.

“We’re staging a global Ramayana this year,” says Shobha Deepak Singh. For the first time ever dancers from Indonesia, America, Malaysia and Bangladesh have been roped in for the show.

Singh was 14 years old when the production was first staged in New Delhi’s Railway Stadium (“I think the place no longer exists”) and she remembers a stream of visitors coming to witness the production, including Pt Jawaharlal Nehru who had even given a grant of Rs 26,000 to cover the show’s expenses.

Present Nehru Gandhi dynasty and its Govt are doing all to ruin the ancient glorious civilization and cultural history of India. India’s beginning for them from them or from The Rome.

Beer and Monkeys did ‘Ram kaj’: Are we for ‘Ravan kaj’?
Jambuvant the mighty bear, Balee and Hanuma mighty monkeys served as warriors in the war of Ramayan. But in Kaliyug even Hindus and ‘Gandhigirs’ don’t want to serve ‘Ram-kaj’ as desired by Mahatma Gandhi. Rajiv Gandhi gave order to open the lock of ‘Ram lala’ temple and gave empty election slogan of ‘Ram raj’. Congress uses Gandhi name as “Munh men Ram bagal me chhuri’.

Sheela Dixit likes ‘lage raho munnabhai ki dadagiri or gandhigiri’. Indira Gandhi’ ‘Monkey sena’ was for getting freedom of India but now congress wants to convert it in ‘Ravana sena’. Even wine was used by NSUI in the students’ union election of Delhi Univerity. They made it a political election. If not then Why Sheila said that NSUI’c victory means Congress victory?

Is wine shop near to temple Gandhigiri or Gandhi bhakti?
Electronic channels and print media doning not good to call gandigiri the presentation of flowers to close the wine shop near temples and schools. There is a news report from Lucknow: Gandhigiri? Activists are facing the heat now. ADM Janardan Baranwal allegedly commented before the protesters,” Gandhiji chale gaye aur apni auladein chhod gaye.” (Gandhiji has gone and left behind his children).
Do we not belong to the personalities of Ramayan? Vansh besides family tree also means the thick middle portion of the blade of a sword, a portion of the nose and is also another name for Lord Vishnu. Why we want to cut our noses?

Ram and Ravan are separate because of their ‘karm’ works. So if some wants to be called themselves of Ravan’s vansaj. No mistake is here. Ravan’s family tree members may be Ram Bhakt to do the ‘Raj kaj’. Even in North India there are Ravans among CM and ministers. Ram and Ravana both were of Bharat Bhumi. Under the ministry of Arjun Ramayana and the Mahabharata become as 'fiction'. This is the conspiracy to divide Hindus and to ruin Hindu culture.

To put in words of Mr. Alipeter John of Screen magazine " …. Ramanad Sagar …. Who was given up to die as a T.B. Patient once, was born to fulfill a God given mission? He was not born to make all those Enumerate films which have made him Ramanand Sagar, the well-known writer and film maker. He was born to make Ramayan in Kalyug, at a time when it was needed the most. …."

The 78-episode Television software shows rose in popularity of giddy heights. As a soothing spiritual balm – The entire Nation stopped ….. turned … and looked back with pride at our culture, our traditions and heritage of pure ethics and hallowed principles – RAMAYAN championed the victory of good over evil and boasted of noble virtues.

"…. Ramayan is a modern day miracle …." ---- Screen, Bombay.
"….. An authentic masterpiece.. an all-time hit …" ----- Mid-day, Bombay.
"… Block-buster in the history of Indian Television …"
"…. Ramayan, receives international acclaim…" ----- The Times of India, Bombay.
"….. In the last 50 years, there has been no other example of national integration where the whole nation came to a stand still kneeling before the television sets …." ------ The Sunday Times, London.
"… It was the year of the Ramayan…" --- Sunday Mail, Delhi
This and lots more was said by the press.

The parliamentarian who are feeling shame to be named themselves as Hindu are opposing “Ram temple” movement were buisy to see Ramayan serial on TV screen and for that they left the proceedings of Parliament.
Should Ram Temple be on the birth place of Ram?


Ashok Chakra and Separtist in Bauddhis
Chandragupta Maury (330-298 B.C.) First documented Indian Emperor; said to belong to same family as Lord Rama of Ramayana; established the Mauryan Empire. Emperor Ashok was probably the first victorious ruler to renounce war on the battlefield. Ashoka converted to Buddhism, but did not impose his faith on his subjects. Government of India has rightly honoured his memory by adopting 'Ashoka Chakra' as national symbol.

I don’t know from where ‘Udit raj’ so called Bauddh rises. I found him before some time with Sonia Gandhi and Maulvis on Delhi’s on Ram Lila Ground where they demanded religios representation for Muslims in the state assemblies. By the way I found him along with non-dalit Americans to criticize Hindu organizations. Are these Massiahas’ of Dalits?

Why Separatism and Minorityism?
I don’t know why some Jains comes to make them separate. Divsion in the family is natural. Is it separation of our ancient history, elders and ancestors? They make their identy separate without feeling shame in naming their ancestors. How can they make them separate from ‘Ram’ or ‘Sita’ of Ramayan? I am ‘Agrawal’ and my sister married in the family of Terapanthi Jain followers of Acharya Tulsi. So many my relatives are Jains. One time in the past one Respected Achary unnecessarily became controversial to say about the attraction created by Sitaji twowads golden deer. That Acharyaji’s greatness was beyond my imgagination. Still some are trying to separate Jains from Hindus.

Every one wants to be Big B. Ask Amitabh where his mother is, where his brother is and where is his wife. How he feels to go there and to come here. Maharashtra home minister wanted to make short the length of Bachchan. Is doing this Patil raised his length?

Al-Quaeda and Iranian President sent Bush invitation to convert in Islam. Minority commission sent invitation to Baudh and Sikhs to be a minority in 1968. They are still jumping with joyous to do this. No harm. Some self styled Jains are feeling that why not Jains should wash their hands in the flowing water of Ganga. UPA wants to bring Hindus in Minority under a well planned scheme. So he appointed Antuley as a cabinet minister to search which community should be brought in Minority umbrella and which portion of a province should be declared as Muslim province as it did to declare in his manifesto Nagaland as a Christian state.

GOLDEN DEER
Ramayan Part 28 - Mareecha turned golden deer
"Oh Ravan, please listen,Don't bring your people ruin,Your action to covet Ram's wifeWill spell an end to your life.""It appears, they're bornMainly for your ruin,The way you now plan,For the fall of your clan."."Your act of adharma,Against Ram's dharma,Will destroy your kingdom,So, now use your wisdom.""Will Sita yield to you?Her chastity will burn you.Your own death, don't seek.I'm sorry this way to speak."Once I was far away flung,At that time, Ram was young,I tried to pour blood and flesh,Viswamitra's sacrifice to crush."When bad time is in stay,The mind goes astray.Ravan turned deaf earTo Mareecha's words of fear.The spotted golden deer,Roamed here and there,That caught Sita's attention,As if destiny's function.Sita fell for the deerWished for it to rearPrayed Ram, her dearTo catch it for her.Lakshman suspected foul play,He cautioned not to fall a prey,To the demon's wishful trap,To do something in the gap.Sita became more eager,Attracted by its fine color,Ram, out of love for her, Went behind it, to please her.The deer ran far away,Ram followed its way, This gave enough timeTo Ravan play his game.Ram has gone too far,He had his own fear,He might lose the deer,Out of his sight near.At last, an arrow he shot,That killed it on the spot,As last words, it screamed"Oh Sita, Oh Lakshman," and died.Some trouble Ram smelt,Lakshman was right he felt,He thought about Sita's fear,No fear, Lakshman was there.Wrong was his guess of no risk,As Sita took Lakshman to task,For not running for Ram's help,She gave vent to her feelings up.The way of Destiny is so cruel,Which doesn't see any level,And plays its own given role,Showing its action impartial.
