What characterize the Dharma in Ramayana are its innocence, purity and nobility.
Even to this day, the tradition of devote groups of listeners gathering around a Sutha to listen to the ancient story of chaste love between Rama and his beloved, and their unwavering adherence to Dharma amidst their trials and tribulations is still very alive. Thereafter, in age after age, the Suthas narrated and sang the glory of Rama and Sita, in divine fervour and spread the epic to all corners of the land and beyond. It is suggested that poet Valmiki rendered the folk lore into a very beautiful, sensitive and lyrical epic poem by about 7 th century BCE. It is believed the Ramayana had its origins in folk lore and was preserved and spread as an oral epic ( Akhyana), for a very long-time. It is a divine ballad ( Akhyanam Divyam) narrating history of ancient times ( Itihasam puratanam). Of all the Akhyana-s, the Ramayana of the Adi Kavi Valmiki is the most celebrated one. That set me to think about Ramayana and music.Īfter the Music of Sama comes the singing of Akhyana or ballads, narrating a story in musical forms. Naturally, the blog was well received and was hugely popular. It was enterprising and highly entertaining too.
