Significance of Lord Ram breaking Lord Shiva's bow

Image
Pinaka or Shiv Dhanush was the bow of the Hindu god Shiva.
Vishvakarma crafted two divine bows. He gave Sharanga to lord Vishnu and Pinaka to lord Shiva, who killed the demon Tripurasura with it. The bow was broken by Ayodhya's prince Ramwhen he attempted to string the bow, during the swayamvara of Sita, thereby winning the princess's hand in marriage.  Image source - https://mandalas.life/2018/dhanusa-bow/ He didn't break Shiv Dhanush for insulting Shiva, breaking of Dhanush has the following significance. 1)Lakshmi can only be stationary near Vishnu. So Sita can only be of Ram. 2)Shiv Dhanush was broken to break the egos of arrogant Kshatriyas who were also tormenting the people like Rakshasas. 3)Breaking of Dhanush had depicted that ParshuRam's tenure is over and now the earth is in the hand of Shri Ram. 4)Both superpowers Shiva and Vishnu are the same and there is no difference in them. 5)Ravan was informed that more powerful person than him has come on this earth because h…

Quotes from Raavan Enemy of Aryavarta by Amish : Ram Chandra Series #3

Best Quotes from Raavan - Enemy of Aryavarta

Since Raavan - Enemy of Aryavarta is out now and loved by fans of Amish, I found some of the best quotes in the book. Some of them are from Raavan's point of view and then some by other characters in the book. Nevertheless, as usual, Amish provides the best philosophical insight in his latest book.

1. When you fill a clogged drain with more water than it can hold, it's bound to overflow and contaminate everything around it. When grief overwhelms someone, when they are enraged at what fate has done to them, their fury often overflows and is inflicted upon the world.2. What you term monster is the fire every successful man has within him. A fire that will not let him rest. A fire that drives him to work hard. To be smart. To be relentless. Focused. Disciplined. For those are the ingredients of success. That fire is like a monster that will not allow you to lean an ordinary life. What differentiates a successful man and a great man is gr…

The Wrath of the Hellfires release date | (Vikramaditya Veergatha #4) | Updates

Vikramaditya Veergatha is a mytho-fiction series by Shatrujeet Nath. Earlier, it was planned to be a trilogy known as Vikramaditya Trilogy. Later, it was called Vikramaditya Veergatha when it was decided that there will be four books in total instead of three. All the books of the series were released at an interval of one and a half to two years. The fourth book of the series, The Wrath of the Hellfires was going to be released in March 2020, but due to Covid-19 pandemic, the publisher could not manage to do it. Everyone including me were eagerly waiting for the fourth book and were very disappointed when it wasn't out. Hopefully, it might be out by the end of this year as and when the publication work may resume.The good news is that, Shatrujeet Nath, the author of the series, keeps uploading chapters of his upcoming novel on Facebook so that eager fans of this series have something to read until the book comes out.So far, he has uploaded ten notes each containing the chapters …

Roshni - Scion of Ikshvaku

Image
Roshni is a daughter of Manthara, a wealthy merchant of Ayodhya in Scion of Ikshvaku  (Ram Chandra Series #1) by Amish Tripathi.

All the four princes of Ayodhya considered her as a sister. Her character was very nicely written in the book. 

However, we rarely ever heard of her.

Valmiki Ramayana does not mention sister of Ram. However, in many other scriptures, there is a story of his elder sister Shanta. She was a child from Kaushalya. Shanta is given in marriage to Rishyashringa, a sage whose celibacy causes drought in Lompada’s kingdom.

STORY OF RISHYASHRINGA
Rishyasringa was born miraculously of an antelope with the horns of a deer on his forehead. He is the son of Rishi Vibhandak, descendent of Kashyapa. Another legend has it that Rishyasringa is the son of celestial nymph Menaka. Rishi Vibhandak, Rishyasringa`s father was enticed by the celestial dancer Menaka by order of Lord Indra, the king of gods. Lord Indra was frightened and afraid of the meditative powers gained out of penance by…
