Week 1: Indian Epics



In the video Sita sings the blues, there are a lot of resemblance of the Ramayana. The Ramayana is one of the great epics of the Indian culture. Although, I have heard a lot about what happens in the Ramayana. Unfortunately, I have never got the chance to read the actual or read a translation of this book. This video is a depiction of the stories, which I have heard of and more. One thing about the video that caught my eye was when they show the different gods. When most people think about the hindu religion, they think of how we have hundreds of gods and they don't understand why. The Ramayana and Mahabharata will be a great explanation to these questions and it will allow me to give a better response when this question is asked to me. Not only that, I also have a lot of questions about the Ramayana and the Mahabharata and am excited to get these questions answered.
