The Legend of Ram - Sight Beyond Sight

The Morning Rush

In the next morning, a heavy rush was seen in 'ManiVati' hermitage.

After finishing his morning ritual with Maharshi Markendeya, Maharshi Valmiki called for his three assistants Dharmakhshema, Subhamangal, and Ashtabasu with the aid of kid Balbhadra; all of them were asked to wear clean dresses and to come over in his hut immediately. They came along accordingly. Now, each one has their manuscripts on in front of them; anything they hear should be written down immediately as a draft – it is a clear instruction they received from Maharshi Markendeya. But this documentation was conditional, and the condition was weird. The moment the tale will be born, the moment they have to burn out every single draft they have created regarding this factor! All the manuscripts should be burnt into ashes. 'Why such weird condition after all?' – In response to this question, Maharshi Markendeya replied in a mystic manner-

-"It is not time for mankind to know all the secrets soon; this revelation could create chaos, that in turn could shatter the very society that we are aware of! This is the part that I want to avoid most."

Another similar type of weird condition was made. During their visit and stay at 'Somras', a banquet was thrown on behalf of them, a day before their return. It was a Supper, an evening Banquet. All the Gods were present here along with their families. Maharshi Valmiki and others came to know about these Gods - their names, their professions, their identities in details. There were Miners, Doctors, Engineers, Scientists, experts in Bio-medical fields and many more among them. There, they met with a God. This God was wearing a mask that that has an extension like an elephant's trunk! He was suffering from a rare disease and if he doesn't keep his breathing mask on all the time, he might meet his end catching out of breaths ( No doubt Subhamangal is a natural in nomenclature; at once he named him as 'Gajanan' – The God with the head of an Elephant. He's from North-east origin, so the first thing that came across his mind was an Elephant after he meets with this God with his elephant-like mask on. Additionally, this God was the bonny, burly type that makes him closer too... you know!! ). These Gods speak different languages, their duty-zone is different; although they use a common language while they gather in a single place and communicate with each other. However, Maharshi Valmiki had a notion since then that he will have to write about these Gods, highlighting them rapidly in his tale. But this is what the second condition is all about – their presence should be narrowed down, trimmed in a passive manner in the tale that he is supposed to create. Men should be held aloft in this narration, where the Gods will stay put as a Backbencher! Awkward and disturbing, isn't it?

At last, the tales of Maharshi Valmiki started taking shape; the introductory part before the tale of two brothers. This introductory part covers the whereabouts of the Gods – that starts on a different planet in a different solar system. The story starts at a planet where the days of the Titans start with the Sunrise, and never ends even after dark. It is time to heed to their tune now...
