Ram Chandra- The Vishnu Trilogy

                             Author- Amish Tripathi 


All along, I have been promising my fascinated readers about the book review of the Ram Chandra Series, which majorly inspired me to not only interestingly start this blog but to also get an outright perspective of life, throughout. I assure you that with the help of this book review, you will be unequivocally urged to open the novels and spend day and night thinking about them.

When I usually talk about Hindu Mythology, it is uncertain whether the incidents actually did happen. However, the unforgettable time-periods of India's history, Ramayana and Mahabharata, are frequently reiterated in traditional Indian households as they happen to unravel those concealed facts, knowledge and ethics that can even support the helpless in today's world. Bhagvad Gita, (Bhagvad- God, Gita-Song) is a beautiful narration of the Mahabharta where everything is expressed through God's Song (A video of it has been posted in the blog). For instance, at one point of time, Lord Krishna says that some things are to be left on karmas (Karmic Cycle). Just do in life, rest will be seen. India's rich repository of culture, traditions and history has truly left me speechless yet amazed as it has inspired  me to stay rooted to my cult and kin.

Throughout India's awe-inspiring history, we have observed that in all the time-periods every incarnation of the Hindu Gods has had a journey fraught with suffer and inconvenience, painstakingly protecting the denizens of this world. Upon this, the three novels by the literary popstar, Amish Tripathi:
i) RAM- Scion of Ikshvaku
ii) Sita- Warrior of Mithila
iii) Raavan- Enemy of Aryavarta
reflect the very same thing in each of their personalities. Therefore, today we will discussing the protagonist of Ramayana and Amish Tripathi's Vishnu Trilogy- " RAM- Scion of Ikshvaku".

I. RAM- The Scion of Ikshvaku

The literary popstar of India has undoubtedly put in some effort in spotlighting the Lord's law-abiding personality , patriotism for Ayodhya and the love as well as concern for his countrymen. A law-abiding man who can compromise anything for his beloved brothers and his fierce wife- Sita (Warrior of Mithila). One of the favourite students of Guru Vashishtha (The Leader of the Vayuputras, a tribe left by Lord Rudra(previous incarnation of Lord Shiva)), he is chosen as the Vishnu (Propagator of Good and Nurturing) of the nation, however this may seem like a Herculean task due to the defamation he earned at the time of his birth, the moment his father (The King of The Unconquerable City) was recklessly defeated by the mighty Raavan at the Battle of Karachapa (the trading hub of ancient India). As his position of the Prime Minister of Ayodhya, he definitely made laws that not only brought him popularity but also mended the lifestyles of the citizens. He was a warrior who believed in non-violence and negotiation, opining that laws are what could change everything in this world.Lord Ram’s then stiff relationship with his father transforming into a healthy one, is beautifully described in the novel. His brother, Lakshman who thinks he is a bit too naïve, has always been his protector. Ram’s beloved wife, Sita (The Warrior of Mithila) is the eyes and woman of his success. At the Battle of Mithila, they are able to defeat Raavan by a divine weapon of Lord Rudra however it’s use was forbidden which leads to exile of Lord Ram, Sita and Lakshman. On the other hand, the battle really hurt Raavan’s egoistic demeanour and so he intends to avenge his murdered ego creating one of the greatest epochs of Indian history- Ramayana. Most of its incidents can be even implemented even today which makes it best as a guide, being emblematic of living a life rife with obstacles and challenges that could be turned into opportunities.

I will leave the thrill of the Ramayana to all of you guys so you can enjoy the novel. Personally, I opine that it’s an amalgamation of thrill, drama, romance, philosophy, science, Indian history, family and at last spirituality. There is no genre that Amish Tripathi misses out on. While reading the book, do catch a glimpse of its trailer as well!!: https://youtu.be/k4xhu9MeIzw

  The Vastu Colour Wheel... All this long, we have been talking about our universe and Hinduism. In terms of Hinduism, Vedic Astrology and Vastu play a very major role according to every human. But what are they? Vedic refers to the Hindu science and astrology is the study of one's life with the universe, mathematics and science (religious science). In the universe, we have a unique solar system with various planets and the celestial objects such as the Sun and Moon. Each of these planets and celestial objects have a different impact on ever person's life. This involves science in how each planet retrogrades, transits and disappears. Mathematics helps in calculating the position of each planet by degree of each person. Without going any further deep into this, Vedic Astrology might seem to be boring and mundane. However, its quite fascinating as if an insight to one's soul, checking his karmas of this life. People who indulge in astrology are called astrologists. In India,

Law of Attraction I want it. I am feel it. I'm gonna get it. When you want something badly, you wish for it like anything. You must have heard about the cosmos of this Universe and everything you see is energy as we have discussed before. Basically, whatever you wish for and think about eventually comes true. First, its important understanding the two types of energy residing in the corners of this Universe- black and white. Nowadays, I am reading one of the best novels of Amish- Shiva Trilogy: Immortals of Meluha. Out of it I would like to extract an anecdote which is highly meaningful. The conversation is between and Pandit (Priest) and Shiva (The God): " The Pandit asked Shiva what is the color of the leaf. He replied its green. Then the pandit placed a very cogent argument in front of him whether its colour was actually green but every colour but green. This stunned Shiva. The Pandit said, "There are many realities. There are many versions of what may appear obvious.

30/03/2020 It's the first time I'm writing a blog. My exams just finished and I was wandering here and there, feeling really bored. But, I suddenly remembered of starting my own blog, reminiscing a movie I saw with my mother- Julie & Julia, where the protagonist writes a blog everyday to keep herself busy. It's a lovely movie, by the way. I mean, Meryl Streep always has a commendable performance in every movie. Now, let's get back to the topic. This blog covers all the sacred truths of the universe- especially the studies of Hinduism. Do you know that Hinduism happens to be the oldest religion in the entire world and has the most traditional civilization in the world?   Since this is my first post, I am just going to describe how I embarked on the journey of spirituality.  I am 14 year old who started taking interest in spirituality when I was once again sitting bored and then I saw my mom reading a novel-"Sita: The Warrior Of Mithila". At first I
