Welcome to Kasarabada.org !!
This week Ramayan continues with 18th Chapter of Sundarakanda
We have been a bit behind on our schedule. we are catching up with this week It also happens that suddenly death has been on our minds. There is no other upanishad which investigates "what after death?" better than Kathopanishad . In Kathopanishad Nachiketa asks Yama the question directly. "What happens after death?". The answer requires one to delve into purpose of life etc. In fact Yama dissuades Nachiketa from pursuing that question without success. That our ancestors thought about a difficult topic centuries ago is in itself amazing. Under Athato column we are presenting the Kathopanishad part 2 this week.
As stated this week Ramayan Sundarakanda moves to the 18th Chapter of Sundarakanda! which is the continuation of the Hanuman's discovery of Sita thus ending his search ! In 18th Ravan enters the Ashokvan with the intention of seducing Sita.
The one more thing continues with Jaya mantramfrom Sundarakanda.
