The rich and colorful tapestry of Bharatiya culture is interwoven with episodes from Ramayana and Mahabharata, our Itihaasas which our dance, music and art also reflect. Every time we watch, perform or recount the episodes, we find one more thing to marvel in.
Our utsavas and hearts resonate with Bhagavan Rama’s love for his father, Sita Devi’s agony on being separated from Sri Rama, Sri.Lakshmana’s and Sri Bharata’s commitment to their brother Sri. Rama, devotion of Hanuman ji to Sri Rama.
We relate to all of them and want to embody their highest and noblest qualities.
We mull over and weep over the stuck situations that Bhishma pitamaha finds himself in, empathise with Draupadi’s humiliation, root for Bhima ‘s victory, and relate to Arjuna ‘s stuck situation on the eve of the Mahabharata war.
The rich shades of dharma shine through.
Each of the 18 Puranas speak of the origin of the creation, its cyclic nature, geneaologies of sages, kings, gods and Asuras and how Dharma is upheld. Often, one Purana will extol the glories of a particular Deva. Shiva Purana shows Bhagavan Shiva as the Supreme Reality while Bhagavatam show Vishnu as the Supreme Reality. So much to learn from them being it Gajendra getting moksha or Markandeya being saved by Bhagavan Shiva. Our hearts can swell with pride and be humbled by our gotras which connect us to the Rishis of this land. If you are from another culture or don’t know your gotra, you belong to Bharadvaja gotra as that is the Rishi’s blessing.
