For eg. Adhyatma Ramayana is written in Malayalam based on Valmiki's original Ramyanam written in sanskrit. Most Indian languages do have translations of original Ramayana. > There were passages, claiming that this, what the author is going to disclose, is the most secretive of secrets !! And what is that secret : That a human being is not the body or mind complex but a spiritual being. Eternal and immortal. At that time I had wondered why a fuss should be made about this being the secret of the secret. No pun intended, I know in the western countries a big business is built upon the " Secret " , Books, Videos, Speeches, the works. That was some 55 years ago. Today I know many people will ridicule me if I tell this openly, pete or petard. Pun intended !!With regardsVGPS. Petard = A fire cracker Namaste VG, The Ramayana was based on much older traditions and literature. All religions teach that humans are not the body but the 'soul' which comes into the body and leaves the body. There is a difference in how this is explained...ie the soul has a body or the body has a soul.Jesus said 'it is amazing the body has a spirit but even more amazing the spirit has a body'. However the time the Ramayana is writing about is a time much earlier on this planet and a time when there were all kinds of mixture animal/human beings---like Hanuman, and there were various types of hominids or humans. The Bible in Genesis mentions the descent of beings who were intermarrying with human women. The Bhagavata Purana writes of the descent of the Kumaras, red and blue types.. So in ancient texts there is a tradition that 'Astral' beings descended into human type hominids.Some to enjoy and some to help correct a situation. Supposedly came from around the pleiades and sirius orion...hence osiris... Notwithstanding all that it is not that we are not the body/mind but that we are not just the body/mind alone...All is One. A petard was a small bomb used to blow gates and doors..it comes from the french word to fart..............Cheers Tony. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
