This set of notes looks a lot like I am taking them to prepare myself for a test, but it is the way that I think. I have to logically assign out certain "facts" before I can get creative.
Basics to help me understand:
Hindustan = 2 kingdoms.
Kingdom 1 = Koshala whose King was Dasharatha(dad of Rama), Kingdom 2=Mithula - Ruled by Janaka(dad of Sita)
Capital city=Ayodyha full of rich and happy people…What if I flip this city, make it poor or ugly and everyone sad?
Kaushalya mom of Rama, Kaikeyi of mom of Bharata, and Sumitra mom of the twins Lakshmana and Shatrughna.
Chief baby mama=Kaushalya killed the horse upon the altar
Ashwapati- lord of horses, dad of Kaikeyi who is owner of Manthera
Brahmin – Vashishtha told Dasharatha that his son, Rama had marks of Vishnu
Lanka=island where Ravana(boss of all rakshasas) lives
Yama=God of Death (slave of Ravana)
Agni(Sun) Vayu(Moon) also subjects to Ravana
Story understandings:
Maharajah Dasharatha was sad because he couldn’t knock up any of his three wives(Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra.) with a boy, so they performed a horse sacrifice which is common in literature.
Those in attendance: Gandharvas, the celestial saints, the Siddhas, and seven Deva-rishis.
Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, Indra (and his Maruts)
Total plot twist! Vishnu is going to be reborn as one of Dasharatha’s sons
Vishnu clued the other gods into who could hurt the Demon King(apes and men) and said that he would be reborn as Dasharatha’s sons
Maricha and Subahu were always causing probs at ceremonies - Vishvamitra, originally a kshatriya, asked Dash for help by sending Rama to intervene
Rama and Lakshmana went to the jungle to kill Thataka, but since she was a female there were hesitant. After maiming her by cutting off her arms, nose, and ears, Rama killed her while she was invisible.
Rama was given fancy talking weapons the next morning by the Vishvamitra. – A good place to be a butthurt and jealous brother.
While chilling with the brahmins at Vish’s house Subahu and Marichi showed up to ruin another offering. Rama thought of his fancy weapons and boom, they appeared casting Maricha to sea and consuming Subahu with fire. Then he killed all the other demons.
Rama and Sita meet in the King’s garden and is love at first sight…but for Rama, it is love at first sound due to her bracelet around her ankle.
A side(God-like) test is to string Vishnu’s bow when it works, Parashurama knows that it is Rama avatar of Vishnu
All 4 brothers were wed into the Janaka family
Manthera talked Queen Kai into jealousy and to use her previous favors owed from Dash
Queen Kai is compared to an Apsara or a female spirit of the cloud and waters – beautiful
Dandaka – a jungle of importance. I will use in a story setting.
Wow!! Rama’s wife Sita, and even his brother who was always a sidekick went into exile so they could stay close to Rama.
Dash accidentally killed a hermit’s son due to carelessness when hunting. He was told that he would once lose his beloved son and Dash on his deathbed now believes that Rama’s exile is his payback/penance for his mistake as a young man.
The parents of the dead son threw themselves in the fire no longer willing to live. Dash dies of heartbreak just like Carrie Fisher’s mother.
