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

Image
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 great…

Samichi - Sita Warrior of Mithila ( Ram Chandra Series #2) Amish Tripathi

Image
What is the relationship of Khara and Samichi is one of the questions that pops up in your mind if you completed reading Sita - Warrior of Mithila.




 I have tried to answer this question to best of my knowledge from Amish's books as well as our Hindu mythology textures. Please read it carefully and if you have any questions, feel free to write it in the comment box.

KHARA

InSita - Warrior of Mithila, there is not much of the description of Khara. The book is about the life of  Devi Sita and it unfolds the events starting from her birth to how she got kidnapped by Raavan’s soldiers. Mostly, we know about Khara from the initial chapters of the second book - Sita. He tortured Jatayu so that Sita would reveal herself as she was hiding behind the trees and observing all this. It was because of him, that Sita had to come out to protect his brother -Jatayuji. She did come. But Khara was very cruel. He killed Jatayu. This infuriated Sita and she shot an arrow from behind the trees. The arrow pi…

Network Effect by Martha Wells Book Review

Image
Hey everyone,                        A month ago I talked about a fantasy book Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik. Here's a review of it. I also completed reading a mammoth book, Oathbringer ( Stormlight Archives #3) in April. It was gifted by my friend on my birthday. Honestly, I didn't want to read this one at this time. I like reading Cosmere either in Winter or Monsoon. Anyway, here's where I talked about Stormlight Archive - Fantasy, Stormlight Archive and me. So far all the books I read this year belonged to the fantasy genre. Kings of the Wyld, Spinning Silver, The lightning tree, and Oathbringer. But then I drank one from my To Read list on Goodreads which is science fiction. 

This is a review of the latest book of the recently popular Sci-Fi series Murderbot Diaries written by Martha Wells. The Murderbot Diaries is an action-packed science fiction series about a murderous, self hacking robot searching for the meaning of life. 



The series consists of five books, including …
