300 Ramayanas, one Rama - Indian Express

It is not a fault of Rama who walked on this earth in flesh and blood, if some people took him as a character of fiction or myth.

It is not a fault of Rama who walked on this earth if some people take him as a God.

There may be and there could be 300 or even more texts on life of Rama. So what do you mean by that?

How many books have been written on MK Gandhi? It may run in tens of thousands with different angles. They may contradict also. Does this make him non-entity? Why there should be any structure for him? Why Narendra Modi has constructed “Mahatma Mandir”?

How much it matters to a common mass? Why such questions are not raised?

This is simply because you have imported the historical beliefs from the people who were not born and brought up in India and wanted to divide India on fake theories of invasion. Even if you leave this aside, there is no tradition anywhere in the world to worship a fictitious character. But there is a practice to worship an entity which may be a human or natural (Entity) howsoever it may exists or existed.

Now suppose some people if carry a belief that MK Gandhi was God. Does this make MK Gandhi a non-entity? God is every where. So what? This applies to every religion. Why should this be applied exclusively to Rama only?

Style of presentation in literature differs time to time. India had its own style to narrate life of kings and great people. Ancient India had its own style to write history to make it interesting. It had added some miracles. Leave aside miracles.

Even to day media makes tigers of a dynasty progeny. It is up to the generations to identify the size of a dynastical progeny.

The great size of Rama has been identified and recognised.  Learned people must have the sense of honouring the values recognised under a long traditional belief by a culture which has re-produced or derived “Adwait”.
