Reading Notes Ramayana PDE D

Rama now sets to lead an attack on lanka so that he can rescue Sita from Ravana. Ravana sent spies in monkey form to gain information on how Rama's army was. Shot with arrows Rama and his army were injured allowing Ravana to leave with Sita at his side Garuda came along and healed the army of Rama since he was an enemy of Ravana's son. The rackshasas awoke a great demon who can only be awake once every six months so that he may devour Rama and his army. Rama fires his flaming arrows that take of the demons head killing him in the act. Ravana's son is using magic and tries to make it seem as though Sita has died, but Rama is shown he is trying to be tricked. Which then leads to his son being slain and ravana swearing to avenge his death. As the battle goes on the gods are watching and want Rama to win. To help fulfill this Indra sends his chariot to help support Rama in his battle. Using  the weapon that Brahma made for him he is able to shoot and kill Ravana fulfilling the god's wishes. After the funeral Sita and Rama are reunited with one another. Sita then becomes frustrated with the cruel language that rama now uses. Rama now is able to return to his home just when his fourteen year ban is coming to an end. Now that his ban has ended he is able to finally able to be crowned as king. Ram and Sita then depart from the world and go back into their god form.

Pebble Beach, My Favorite Place

Image
Out of all the places I have been ver fortunate to go, most of my favorites include golf courses since the reason I get to travel is to play tournaments for the University and on my own during the summer. The  place that stand out above the rest for me is Pebble Beach which is located on the stunning Monterey Peninsula in California. Every year we start our season off at Pebble Beach during the second week of classes and this course is beautiful being nestled along the coast of the Pacific ocean and this tournament symbolizes the beginning of a new year with goals and expectations higher than our previous season. The amount of history has taken place on this course throughout the years is astonishing. Being a course that is in the lineup for US Opens, Champions such as, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson, Tom Kite and Tiger Woods have won on this course competing at golf's highest stage. All of this helps make Pebble Beach my favorite place to be and I cherish it every time.   "T...

Week 8 Comments and Feedback

Image
I feel like I have been receiving great comments from my classmates about my work. Granted I do not check them very much, when ever I do they seem to be useful and constructive. I think that my comments on the other students' posts have been good, mainly it has been pointing out what they have done well with a little bit of what I think could have made it better. With the blog comments, I am getting to know the other students a little bit, we only get to know them through what they choose to share. I think that my introduction post gives people a good insight to me, but it isn't much. For me to make my comments better, I would need to offer more insight into what could make help make their writing better so the feedback would be more informative. Constructive feedback,  Source I like this picture, because it provides quick information on how to give feedback which something that we all could be a little bit better at.

Reading Notes, Mahabharata: Karmic Revolution Part B

  Picking back up with the topic of Karma that has been going on in the videos. Kunti is introduced and in this she is talking with the powerful sage who everyone in the village is shown to fear. For keeping him company and speaking her mind, she is given a mantra by the sage who tells her that it ca be used to summon a god at any time. Later that day, she speaks the mantra to see if it is true and the sun god shows up in full form. After being embraced by the god and whenever he left, Kunti was left with a child in her arms that had gold earrings and was in full armor. It was easy for her to tell that this child was destined for greatness. Since Kunti was unmarried she could not afford to keep the child to took it to the bank of the river and prayed for the sun god to watch over him and placed her child into a basket. Seems very similar to the story of Moses. Pandu was in the forest hunting one day and shot a hermit while he was in the act of making love, before...
