The Ramayana

The Ramayana , one of the religious books of Hinduism , appeared around 250 BCE . The personality of the man who wrote this book is likely it belong to a Brahmin . This version can be supported by some arguments First , the main character of Ramayana , the prince and the King Rama is Lord , an Avatar of God Vishu . Consequently , only a representative of Brahmin caste could be allowed to narrate about God . Second , Brahmin 's purpose of life was to realize God and to cultivate his spirituality Thus , writing about God in

When he got tired of the Zenana , he went the company of court jesters , and vice versa . In the Zenana , Rama established a park , where he used to have his meals . The usual meals of Rama consisted of flesh , fruits and liquor . Also , there were Apsaras , Uraga and Kinnari women who were signing and dancing for him . It was a regular course of Rama 's life , which suggests nothing from the image of a busy and preoccupied with public service governor Moreover , Rama did not follow the ancient rule of all Indian kings and did not attempt to hear and to redress the wrongs of his subjects . The only case , which was personally heard by Rama , had a tragic outcome This incident was called the murder of Sambuka the Shudra . In to bring back to life a Brahmin boy , Rama cut off the head of Sambuka , who was not guilty for the boy 's...
