A1 Aishwarya Raghunath, Reading Valmiki Ramayan Updated Nov 16 Shri Ram left the mortal world by entering into the Sarayu River. Ram’s ascend to heaven is narrated in the *Uttara Kanda of Valmiki Ramayan.* After Sita’s departure into the earth, Shri Ram performed over ten thousand horse sacrifices and ruled the kingdom with umpteen righteousness. One day, Kaal (death) visited Shri Ram in the guise of an ascetic to convey the message of Brahma. Brahma conveyed to Shri Ram that the time he had fixed for protecting the world has ended and he may return back to heaven as Vishnu. O gracious one, you have fixed the time formerly for the protection of the worlds and that time has ended. Prior to creation, you yourself by your Maya, having out down all the worlds, sleeping on the great ocean, had created me. O best among locomotives, you had set your mind on mortal forms, desirous of killing Ravana, when the human beings extirpated and framed yourself the span of stay (among the mortals) for then thousand and ten hundred years formerly. You are thus the mind-born son with full longevity residing here among human beings, O best among the heroes; Death has been sent to approach you. If, O brave one, you desire again to serve the course of men, then dwell as you wish, may welfare be with Thee. Canto 104 – Uttara Kanda, Valmiki Ramayan *Shri Rama decided to return back to heaven*. After the night passed, Shri Ram performed all the rites connected with the final departure under the guidance of Vashishtha and donned fine garments, recited chants, took Kusha grass in their hands and went to Sarayu. Not speaking any word anywhere, devoid of any action, without comfort, he went out of the mansion, lustrous as the sun. On the right side, Shri Rama, was the lotus seated Lakshmana and on the left was the goddess Earth, and the power of resolutions personified went ahead. May types of arrows, the wonderful, well-strong bow and all his other weapons went in human forms. Canto 109 – Uttara Kanda, Valmiki Ramayan ll the citizens of Kosala, birds, animals and kinsmen followed Shri Ram followed him. At last, Shri Ram entered the river Sarayu on foot and took the divine form of Vishnu alive along with his brothers. In his divine form, he tells Brahma that all those who have followed him to the river will also enter the Santānak world. All these who have come here will go to the world named Santānak. That animal which will breathe last thinking you in this manner will leave its mortal frame and shall reside in Santānak, close to the world of Brahmā and accompanied with all the merits of Brahmā. The monkeys and the bears also entered their primeval forms. All those (monkeys and bears) born of gods entered into the forms of the god from which they had sprung; among them Sugrīva entered the sun's orb. Canto 110 - Uttara Kanda, Valmiki Ramayan *Shri Ram’s departure is also has mention in Brahma * One day, Kala arrived and reminded Shri Rama that the time had arrived for him to leave his mortal body. Meanwhile, Lakshman became aware of Shri Ram’s decision to leave his mortal body. He gave up his life by taking samadhi in river Sarayu. Shri Ram could not bear the sorrow caused by Lakshman’s bereavement. He appointed Lava and Kusha as the kings of Dwarawati and Kushawati, respectively and decided to leave for the heavenly abode. Shri Ram entered the water of the Sarayu river, flowing at a distance of three yojans from Ayodhya. Brahma Purana In this way, Shri Ram ascended to heaven by entering the river Sarayu in his divine Vishnu form along with all citizens of Kosala. Whoever bathed in the water also went to the world of gods. Q2 What scavenger has the most extreme diet? A2 Sean Kernan, Updated 4y This is the bearded vulture: Usually, scavengers will go for their favourite parts of an animal. This guy? Nah. He wants the bones. A majority of his diet is just eating the bones and swallowing them whole. It doesn’t care for actual flesh (skin, muscle, organs). Bone marrow is a delicacy to them. They have a highly acidic stomach that can digest metals if they accidentally swallow them (such as an animal that was shot). If they can’t break open the bones themselves, they’ll often fly super high and then drop the bone, for it to fall on rocks and split open. He is a new level of scavenger. He just wants your bones. Q3 Can you tell a joke about Indian jail in hell? A3 Manisha Babu, Dec 24 A man died and reached hell. There he saw that every person had to go to hell in any country. He decided to go to *American Hell* and see.. When he reached there, he asked the guard at the gate Hey brother, what happens in American hell? The guard said - nothing special, first of all you will be made to sit on an electric chair for an hour and given electric shock, Then you will be made to lie on a bed of nails for an hour, after which a demon will come and lash fifty lashes on your injured back It will rain.! Hearing this, the man got very frightened and he headed towards *Russian hell* and asked the same question to the guard there. The Russian guard also repeated almost the same incident which he had heard in American hell. There upon that person went to the doors of hell of all the countries one by one but everywhere he heard terrible stories. Finally, he reached a place where a sign on the door read - *"Indian Hell"* and beyond that door into that hell hetre was a long line to leave People were becoming impatient to go to Indian hell. *He thought that surely the punishment here would be less.* Asked the guard what the punishment was? The guard said-Nothing special, first of all you will be made to sit on an electric chair for an hour and given electric shock. Then you will be made to lie on a bed of nails for an hour, after which a demon will come and lash fifty lashes on your injured back..! The perplexed person asked him - All this is happening in the hells of other countries too, then *why is there so much crowd here in the hell of India?* ➖ The guard said - The electric chair is the same, but there is no electricity Some unlogical person has taken out the nails from the bed of nails and sold them, And the one who whips is a lateral entry employee, he comes, signs and goes to have tea and snacks... The person thought -sometimes by mistake even if he come back early, I will get one or two lashes only .He may hit me and writes fifty...😎 Q4 What is the dumbest animal that has survived extinction by lucky evolution or human intervention? A4 Joel Reid, Science teacher Updated 4y Koalas. Koalas are incredibly stupid. They make paper weights look like astro-physicists. *A koala has evolved to eat only a specific type of food, from specific type of trees, that has almost no nutritional value*… but that is not the worst thing. Those trees, eucalypts, have evolved to burn easily. Because without being burned and killed those trees struggle to reproduce. So a koala is not only stupid, but they eat a food stuff that reproduces by killing itself and everything around it… including koalas. But the koala has one advantage that has saved it from extinction… no predators in Australia can climb trees well enough to eat them. If you had just one species of large cat, such as exists on every other continent on Earth, then koalas would be dead. *2019/2020 fire season addition:* *Recent huge fires in Australia has put Koalas in danger.* Fires in the past have not caused Koala devastation becasue Koalas have been able to move from unaffected regions back into burned areas where koalas have died… However, modern humans have segregated bush-land now and built structures that limit this ability for koalas to easily repopulate burned areas. Thus there is now great concern in Australia for the future population of wild Koalas. Profile photo for Manuel Valencia III Q5 What happens if you miss the connecting flight due to custom and immigration clearance check? A5 Manuel Valencia III, Masters-TESOL from Azusa Pacific University (Graduated 2011)14h It happened to me twice. First, on a flight from Auckland to Sydney. I was connecting on to Melbourne and apparently, there was a long line at customs in Sydney, the customs officer was taking longer than usual to check my bags. I told her that I had a connecting flight to Melbourne, and she said that she understood. Even though I was very compliant with her, I ended up missing my connecting flight. When I got to the domestic side, I told the check-in staff my story. They were very friendly and told me in their Australian accent, “No worries, mate. We’ll just put you on the next flight. There are plenty of flights.” I felt a little more relaxed at that point. No worries (no pun intended) about missing the flight. The food was great , too. The second was a connecting flight from Osaka to LA, via Vancouver. This time, there was only one US immigration officer for about 50 of us connecting on to different US flights and he was just taking his time processing us like it was no big deal. Yes, I missed my connecting flight to LA. I had to wait almost two hours for the next flight to LA. To make matters worse, My girlfriend was traveling with me, but on another airline from Osaka. I wanted to get to LA before she did so I can give her a welcoming gift. Unfortunately, she was going to get there before me. So I had to call the customer service office in Los Angeles to relay a message to my girlfriend to wait for me at arrivals. When I got to LA, I left my bags on the carousel and ran to the international terminal to meet her. She was there and I apologized to her for the situation. Ever since that incident, I never connected through Vancouver again. *Gopalakrishnan 09-01-2025* -- To go to your groups page on the web, login to your gmail account and then click on https://groups.google.com/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
