Rama and the Ramayana: Crash Course World Mythology #27

Nice channel in giving the short and simple.

🤣 Did you pronounce "padeshah"meaning king as "shadepa"? 🤣 That's so funny! Reminds me of little toddlers trying to talk

Its not Mythology. Its our history!!!

Am i the only one that said “thoughth” until he said it was “tote”

Been taking notes since episode 1, creating a mythology rhyming dictionary for a hip hop project

I Can help for sanskrit in future 😇

"Just kidding baby, I knew you were legit!"😂 - this whole video is excellent 👌

It is our History not mythology

Well the last 'a' isn't pronounced

A lot of correction required however you should be respectful at some places

So you put a disclaimer on string a bow inferring people will take that as a euphemism yet have nothing to say about his gift to her in the end?

It's biologically possible for a human to be blue maybe he based on a real person somewhere in the way back

The way I heard this story they were all missing an a at the end of their names. It was ram not Rama. It was lakshman not lakshmana. It was Ramayan not Ramayana

Rama gave Sita a pearl necklace huh? ;) Bet he did.

Thank you for your explanation of this interesting story. 🏆🇮🇳🪷🪷🇮🇴

You forgot the part where the starting of the war was caused by Lakshman cutting off the nose & ears of Shurpankha. That gives Ravana a reason to kidnap Sita, revenge, over just evilness

Hamare history unke liye mythology ban gayi h....

The character of Sita is like the Mary story in Christianity. It portrays the "virtuous woman and wife" who represents the ideal woman according to its religious and cultural tradition.
And just like the character of Mary, the Sita character can be used and HAS been used for so many oppressive policies and standards for women:
Chastity, loyalty, obedience to a man, passivity (damsel in distress), acceptance of the role given to her.
I think the fire ritual story is an especially extreme example of it, even if it can be reinterpreted to some degree to conform to modern standards.

Rama is the hero. Rama is the incarnation of God. He takes the form of human to show how a man is to act virtuously.

🙏

This was so helpful!! Thank you! ❤

Better story

very important details are missing like vibhishan cheating ravana

In other versions of Ramayana, Sita is so offended by Ram's wish to prove her "purity" that even after leaving unscathed, she refuses to go back to him and asks mother earth to take her away.

A point is that all the a at the the end of words are not there actually like it's Ram not Rama.

thank you for helping me with my exams presentation

Ram not rama

Ravana is not a demon, he is condiderd as a god to us sri lankans

Not mythology. It is Indian history. The fact that it is considered history is what has inspired millions of Hindus over generations. If it was mythology then it would not have had the same power and influence. There may be legends attributed to real figures of history, but calling this whole thing a myth is wrong.

Totally off topic but when you called the description section the "doobly doo," I had a flashback to Dan Brown's old videos, because that's always what he called it. I wish he would get back into making videos! Anyway, back to topic, thank you for this! It was great as always!

Rama in buddhist jataka katha (story) is good man

U should make bloopers

🙏🏻🙌🙏🏻

thts a lot different ramayan then i grew up hearing

Rama is abraham. Ofcourse ramas family is big. That's why krishna said all the world's a family.

You lost me at, monkey is son of the wind

I’m not sure who this Campbell person is, but this is probably the most ridiculous interpretation of the Beautiful Love Story called RAMAYAN. Has Crash Course even studied anything about this Epic? The way the events are explained are incorrect, and does no justice. How is a non-Hindu or non-Indian supposed to learn from such a video, if it is not even factually correct? Either make videos about what you are an expert on, or at least share information that is accurate and known to the majority of the adherents or experts of the Field/Text being discussed. Either that Campbell person doesn’t understand RAMAYAN, or the makers of this video totally misinterpreted Campbell’s thoughts/the Epic as whole.

This is NOT A MYTH. It was an actual incident and there are many proofs that tells us that all these things have actually happened. Jai shree Ram🚩🚩

Rama skin are dark not blue

The story that is shorten reminds in some case to the "greek" Mythology and north mythology. MOST the story of the battle of Troja seems to have MANY paralell aspekts. Other stuff reminds me to Sumerian mythology. Even the adam and Eve story with eve getting seduced by the Snake seems to fit in the story in some strange way. So if the gods look at humans as "apes" the whole story become very.. strange in some way.

Doesn’t matter if it was Rama or the people that questioned Sita. She should’ve given them all the finger. I personally only know the story where the people questioned her. As if her being forced upon needs more punishment, even back then they had victim blaming. So the story I heard was that Rama believed his wife, but she did it to shut the plebs up.

Nice Ramayana English version
I like it , refreshing memories of Ramayan

Note: Bharat was never crowned King. He was away to his maternal home when all this gappened and Ram was banished. When he and Shatrughana returned, they were unhappy with Kaikeyi. He went to bring Ram back, he refused to do so in order to fulfill his late father's wiah but Bharat takes Ram's sandals and places them on the throne as a symbil of his rule. He runs the kingdom as he lives in a small hut, not the palace, in nearby village just like his brother and sleeps underground.

Dashrath died when ram left

He was black not blue

Hey there, good job for shortening the epic mythology. I would like to see how and when u would do about Mahabharata. I liked the animation, great short version. Subscribed it.

Rama is not a hero, he is an Avatar.

I am a Indian
