Reading Notes: Tiny Tales Ramayana Part D

Notes for Tiny Tales from the Ramayana pages 151-200

Ravana rides into battle with Tamasa "bringer of darkness" which incinerates many of Rama's soldiers. Lakshmana fires an arrow which destroys Ravana's bow. Vibhishana kills Ravana's charioteer and horses. Ravana retreats back into the city.

Rama and Ravana battle. Rama keeps cutting off Ravana's heads but each time a new head grows. Matali tells Rama to "use the Brahmastra" and to "fire at his navel". Rama does that which destroys the pot of immortality that Ravana had in his navel. Ravana dies.

Ravana's brother and his wives mourn for him. Rama sends Vibhishna to fetch Sita. Rama is all weird about Sita because of the scandal involved with her living in another man's house and at first, he basically tells her to do her own thing.

Sita prays to Agni the fire god after telling Lakshmana to build a fire. She then enters the fire to prove her faithfulness to Rama and the fire doesn't burn her.

Despite growing up near both the University of Texas and Texas A&M, I am actually a lifelong OU fan. My parents and grandparents were all fans of either of the other two schools, but I held my ground. My grandma would always tell me "you'll probably change your mind several times as you got older", but I knew that I wanted to be a Sooner. Originally, I had planned on majoring in Biology and eventually (hopefully) going to medical school. But my interests rapidly changed over my freshman year at OU. Growing up, I had always been very close to my Dad and I looked up to him in many ways. He was a very hard worker and an entrepreneur. His most successful business was, and is, a custom home company named J Taylor Custom Homes, named after me (also check us out at JTaylorCustomHomes.com ). As I ...

Week 5 Story: Hanuman's Leap

Hanuman was having a largely peaceful afternoon surrounded by his fellow monkeys. Having just stopped his chaotic brother Vali from antagonizing Sugriva, he deserved it. Shortly after, Sugriva fetched Hanuman and told him that two strangers were approaching and that he should go check them out to make sure that they aren't coming to cause trouble. He then met Rama and Lakshma who said that they wanted to speak to Sugriva. Thrilled that they weren't dangerous or evil, he carried them on his shoulders to meet Sugriva. Rama and Sugriva agree to help each other and they go off to kill Vati. Later, Sugriva is crowned king of Kishkindha. It was now his turn to hold up his end of the deal. Sugriva gathered Hanuman and the monkeys and sectioned them off into groups. He sent the groups into the four directions to look for Sita and report back. Hanuman went to the south along with Angada, and Jambavan. Hanuman and the southern search party soon reached the beach. They were all very up...
