RAM!! With all these dushera celebrations around I wondered why do we call Ram a GOD. Was he really a Superpower? On contrast, I believe all his actions were just HUMAN !!
He was helpless when his own father asked him for VANWAS. Are we so proud of him killing Rawan that we treat him as GOD. Well that too he did for his beautiful wife. But later on he surprised everybody by leaving his pregrant wife to her own fate. Wow !!
What was so great about him? I wonder sometimes whether the whole Ramayana was kinda a propaganda of a KING to make himself popular. And he influenced the religious leaders so much that all his tales got linked with the Hindu religion. Hmm?? Looking at the history of india, there are so many heroic stories of so many heroes [Kings] but why none of them are associated with religion. I am sure the hero [Ram] in this heroic tale was smart and powerful enough to influence religion. He knew what he wants to acheive and by what means. He is definetly successful in making himself popular and making himself a GOD!!
Looking at ramayana, though Ram is treated as GOD, he was actually a mean character. He invaded whole lanka just for his wife. Was he a true lover? I dont think so, coz he left her as soon as he realized that he would have to compromise his kingdom if he doesnt do so. So why did he invade lanka...I think he always wanted to be a Great & Powerful RULER. When Rawan took his wife, it hurt his ego to a great extent. But more than this he wanted to beat Rawan to prove his power and superiority. He was always crazy about power, kingdom and money and thats why he went back and accepted the kingdom of ayodhya. He never bothered about his wife and kids later. Isnt this MEAN?
I think this human race was always in search of superheroes to be associated with the Superpower. Superpower which everybody knows exists but not the form of it. And thats why we accepted these superheroes as our gods. Well its not the case with Hinduism only. All the religions have superheroes [GODs ofcourse].
But who cares. I believe in celebration. I like to sing and dance. I like to eat good food and have sweets. I like to share all the happy moments with my friends and family. So stop thinking and just chill out.
Wish you guys a VERY VERY HAPPY DUSEHRA!!
