Reading Week 15: The Ramayana, Part F

Wow, the last reading is already here. Can't believe how fast these 15 weeks have flown by. I decided to spend my last reading by continuing the Ramayana. I have really enjoyed this reading and it has been fascinating getting exposure to things I wouldn't have if I didn't take this course. I liked the part where Rama curses the ocean. Cursing the ocean - an example of something I wouldn't have read if I wasn't in this class.

Week 15 Reading: The Ramayana Part E

This week I continued reading The Ramayana, and it is starting to get very weird (which is always more fun to read). Some of the things talked about I will reading and think to myself 'what just happened.' I love the obscure characters and series of events, I never know what to expect. I liked the part when the mountain Mainaka hides under the ocean in fear of Indra, but then comes out to give Hanuman a chance to rest. This was a very interesting part of the reading, and I enjoyed getting exposed to this version of the Ramayana.
