Скачать или смотреть The Forgotten Ramayanas They Don’t Tell You About

Religious epics are not divine revelations but human-made stories that evolved through centuries of edits, rewrites, and cultural influences. The Ramayana, often considered a sacred text, actually exists in over 300 versions—from Valmiki’s Sanskrit telling to Buddhist, Jain, Bhakti, and even Muslim folk retellings like the Mappila Ramayanam. This video traces the history of Rama’s Ayana, showing how it transformed from folklore into a symbol of nationalism, with each version reshaped to fit the imagination, values, and politics of its time.

We explore the Buddhist Dasaratha Jataka, the Jain Paumacharitram, Bhakti-era retellings like Tulsidas’ Ramcharitmanas, Kerala’s Adhyatma Ramayana, Islamic-infused versions from Malabar, and tribal tellings like the Gondi Ramayana. Alongside these, we draw parallels with Greek mythology’s Helen of Troy, showing how stories of abductions, wars, and gods recur across cultures.

If you’ve searched for Ramayana versions, Rama’s journey, Buddhist Ramayana, Jain Ramayana, Tulsidas Ramcharitmanas, Adhyatma Ramayana, Mappila Ramayanam, Gondi Ramayana, Greek mythology parallels, or Rama vs history, this video gives you the rational perspective.
