The first story I thought was interesting was of Ram and
Sita’s. According to the website the lady who was visiting India found a little
cave when she went temple watching. And in the little cave she found two
diaries each belonging to Ram and Sita. Both diaries talked about their
marriage together, and how they were kicked out of their village. Another thing
that was mentioned was Sita being kidnapped by Ravan. This part of Sita’s diary
is not clear because it was washed out with what seemed to be tears. The diary
talks about how Ram had to fight to get her back.
The second story I thought that was interesting was of Shiv.
Shiv is one of the three most important gods and out of these three gods he is
the most powerful. Shiv is known as the destroyer and he wields a trishul which
is a trident. Shiv also has a crescent moon on his head, symbolizing rebirth. The
combination of the power to destroy and renew makes him the most powerful god
in Hinduism. It is also said that his third eye is powerful and when opened, it
has the power to destroy the whole world.
Kalki is the last reincarnation of Vishnu or Ram. Kalki is
meant to take birth on earth again to save the world from kalyug. Kalyug is one
of the four yugs. A yug is a period of time, not sure of how long each are but
as each period progresses the worst it gets. Kalyug being the last yug, is one
the worst time period and so Kalki is meant to end kalyug and start the cycle
over again with satyug. Satyug is the period of truth and purity. Kalki will
need weapons in order to bring balance back to the world so he heads for his
journey.
