Abstract

Description

This 1979 session explores the symbolism of the Rāmāyaṇa. Ayodhyā represents the uncontrollable mind, while characters embody aspects like lust (Meghanāda, Śūrpanakhā), prāṇa (Hanumān), and kuṇḍalinī (Sītā). Rāvaṇa symbolizes the mind ruled by senses. Incarnations like Rāma demonstrate human experiences. The session also touches on themes of jealousy, divine justice, and parallels to other spiritual stories.
