IMPORTANCE OF RAMAYANA
Objective:
To form a peaceful society where spirituality and wisdom replace the narrow-minded religious divide among humans.
Why Ramayana?
We strongly believe that Ramayana teaches life skills, with which one can keep aside their weaknesses and move forward with focusing only on their strengths. It will not only make people stick to dharma, but also stand by it and fight for it. Like Lord Rama, they will befriend only good people even if they are found to be less powerful, and will avoid bad friends even if they are found to be more powerful. Slowly, with the help of all good people, firmly ever stuck to dharma, having faith in themselves and faith in the highest cosmic power, they will march towards success. They can even attain liberation if they do not have any accrued karma phal (karmic debt) to experience.
Shame that Narottam is not known to the whole world!
Ram was supposedly the best among the best of men, the world has ever witnessed since its creation. But, why do 6 of 7 billion people, not know anything about ram? Did our people behave selfishly in giving the world, the knowledge of supreme Brahman to other continents?, or Was there a point of time, where Vedic civilization existed all over the world but was subjugated by demonic kings after Lord Krishna left his body. The answer and reasons could be anything. The result? The world is paying now. Everyone is suffering from an extreme school of thought. But the biggest irony is that no one knows why they are suffering. Even if a learned person says that it is the absence of dharma in the hearts of people and the politicians the reason behind all our problems, people will laugh at him. They may even mock him or troll him. Sometimes even this learned man will be made to doubt his own dharma, as the majority does not have any clue on what dharma is.
Religion is the most insane invention ever in the History of mankind.
“The theory of God” which is supposed to make us understand our source and make us understand the reason for being born, and make us understand the two vital life elements karma and dharma, is working the other way round and becoming detrimental to human betterment.
Some say believe or die, some say believe and get cured of all the diseases. Some say believe and enjoy many times more in heaven than what you enjoy here on this earth. They say that God doesn’t judge based on our deeds but will bless based on the specific God’s name we believe in. They are so sick as they get so enraged with the form of God but ironically besotted with the name of God, to the extent they even resort to killing those who do not accept it. This is when the society needs a complete revamp and correction.
The question we have to ask ourselves here is that “did I ever exist before I came to earth”? If the answer is yes, why should I go to heaven leaving my original source where I existed from infinite time in the past? If the answer is no, then my soul has a date of birth, which means it will obviously have a date of death.
In the place where darkness prevails, evil rules. Then, these logical questions will never be permitted. They may cost one’s head. In such dreadful scenarios, the people’s wisdom will slowly die with generations. The logical mind will get permanent numbness. It will lose its rationality and stop thinking. When there is no thinking, there cannot be questioning. When the rational part of the humans die, they comfortably ignore the good deeds of the divine men, and the bad deeds of the evil men.
Noxious and deleterious consequences of not knowing Ramayana?
We all know that ignorance is blindness. If ignorance increases, it poses a huge threat to wisdom. Blindness increased year by year since 3000bce. We ignored the disease for centuries. We have travelled very long without eyes. Now, when over 90% of people became blind, the people with eyesight are being treated as sick people. They will be mocked for what they are able to see.
When people are not introduced to Iconic people like Rama with divine nature, they will automatically get introduced to people of demonic nature. Bad dominates the world only when good fails to do its job.
Ramayana is an extremely powerful vaccine and an antidote to adharma and violence. What happens if that vaccine is not made available to people all over the world?
Undoubtedly, Ignorance will spread there. Evil propels there. Adharma and Ashanti prevail there, and finally, adharma will be looked at as dharma and dharma will be looked at as adharma. Perverted knowledge will prevail all over. When the world forgets Ram as a hero, then, many times worse than Raavanas will be regarded as role models. Then, Many times worse will happen to mankind.
When evil ruins the lives of people far away from us, we feel oblivious to such incidents. Then, We have no right to scream when it comes so close to us. Today, evil is in eye-to-eye contact with us. Either, we have to educate it tactfully or get eaten away by it.
Let us drive away the ignorance with wisdom.
We all know that darkness is not an entity by itself. It is just the absence of light. So let us not blame someone else, for the darkness that is prevailing everywhere. Let us bring light to our lives, with Bhagawat Gita and Ramayana. Ramayana and Gita or any Vedic scripture, does not focus on the name and form of god.
They will focus on What is Dharma and what is Adharma, the advantages of being Dharmic and the consequences of not being so. Bhagawat Gita is the best way for us to understand who we are and why we are here, while the history of Lord Rama, is the best way for us to understand how one should stick to dharma despite life throwing many challenges.
So far, we from Bhagawat Gita Foundation for Vedic studies, made Bhagawat Gita in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and a few other languages, in three different formats. We made an intriguing Bhagawad Gita, one with mind-boggling Fusion Music, and another, with Hindustani ragas, meant for self-learning purposes, for the first time in the world.
We are currently doing our fourth version with 110bpm tempo and named it as the Shuffle Dance Gita. We are doing this in two different formats to enable the foreigners and today’s youth, even to dance along with singing the slokas. We are also producing another version of the Self-learning Gita, especially for the donors of Gita University Construction.
Insane citizenship - a boon for politicians.
The more the people become ignorant, non-issues will become issues, and real issues will become non-issues. The ignorant and foolish citizenship will become a boon for politicians with which they can easily manipulate them and multiply their assets. This is when society needs a complete correction and hence our Mission 5 Billion Project.
Digitising Valmiki Ramayana for the first time in the world.
We have taken up digitizing Complete Ramayana with Meanings for the first time in the world in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada and is going at a slow pace and will catch up no sooner we get 3240 sponsors who can sponsor each sarga for Rs.12000/-. For sponsoring any sarga of Valmiki Ramayana, please visit our website www.valmikiramayana.in
Gita University & Film Making!
Our Foundation with the help of Gita university intends to create and plant 1000 Gita gurus (Karma Yoga gurus) all over the world, one for every 65 lakh population outside India, by the year 2026. These gurus are like plants that give shade, shelter and calmness to millions of birds and so they should grow quickly as massive trees. For that to happen, they need proper soil and environment to survive and grow rapidly.
All these countries were intoxicated for 3500 years by insane theories like “believe or die”, “Believe and book a seat in heaven”, “I came to help sinners”, “everyone is a sinner”, “No rebirth”, “No souls for other species” “disrespect on motherly nature” “disbelief on devatas”, “disbelief in infinite brahmandas” etc. Sadly, these toxic philosophies damaged the rational chipset of humans and need repair right from their DNA level.
So, we wish to detox the world and establish the true meaning of Dharma with Rama’s Character and the purpose of Life with Krishna’s character and hence this proposal of making these films. These films will cast actors covering the major 7 ethnicities of the world. If we can raise the funds of 800-1000 crores for these 2 films, and release them in 2025 and 2026, there develops a positive environment for our Karama Yoga gurus to perform to their capacities and goals.
The complete finances will be handled by the most ethical people from the world’s oldest Hindu organization and the filmmaking will be handled by a team consisting of the most reputed film fraternities in India. The details will be unveiled no sooner we get the support from the required number of people.
We have budgeted 200 crores for the English version of each film. The dubbing cost of the same in the 20 most popular languages of the world is budgeted as 200 crores including the promotion costs. So, this project needs about one hundred thousand NRI’s who can donate $600 each and 10 lakh families from India come forward and donate Rs.500/- per month for 10 months or Rs.5000/- onetime. If 1 lakh NRI’s and 1 million Indians can together come forward, we can make both the films; one on Lord Rama and another on Lord Krishna. The profits from these films will be used to set up 1000 Gita Bhavans (Karma Yoga Centres) outside India, one for every 65 lakh people, to promote Gita saar to the world.
Why crowdfunding?
All these years, we have seen a few dharmic people and rich people coming out and funding for dharmic projects like firefighters. We have seen a few videos on social media that even a crow and a dog could successfully extinguish the small fire which they noticed in their surroundings. We should learn from these animals and birds and everyone should come forward in support of Dharma. Otherwise, another poet like Martin Niemöller will come out after 2050, when the complete Sanatana dharma gets vanished and will write a poem on the cowardice of Hindus worldwide who have always chosen to eat and sleep and do nothing to either fight Adarma or to protect Dharma. Moreover, like earlier, it is extremely becoming difficult to approach the corporates for funding because of their busy schedules and the layers one has to cross to meet them. So, apart from rich and corporates funding Dharmic projects, it would be wonderful to see at least 1% of 100 crores Hindus come forward and participate in Dharma Yajna on monthly basis to any project they feel connected to.
