Unlimited Opinions - Philosophy, Theology, Linguistics, & More

In this episode, we look at tales from the Ramayana, one of the epic Hindu poems. It tells the story of Rama and his brothers Bharata, Lakshman, Sutrughna, all embodiments of the great god Vishnu. We look at Rama's youth and exile, and how he rescued his wife Sita from the terrible evil of the rakshasa Ravana. We break down the morality tales and lessons that each episode of Rama's story gives to us, and how this first section of Indian mythology relates to other world mythologies.
