Why are the Mahabharata and the Ramayana so popular even today?
Cause they both consist of the most important/famous pieces of literature ever.
Importance of Mahabharata and Ramayana:If we have a Positive attitude we would be determined to succeed at all costs.
If we have a Negative attitude we would be satisfied with whatever we have. Both are equally important, though in the modern world Positive attitude is supposed to be superior to the negative attitude.
Mahabharata:
The mythology: Mahabharata is a mythological story about a battle between cousins Pandavas and Kauravas for the Kuru kingdom. In the battle Kauravas are destroyed and later even the Pandavas die. Only Krishna, symbolic of the Positive attitude, remains.
The symbolic meaning: Mahabharata is about transformation of a stagnant life into a life where there is eternal progress.
The Kauravas symbolize satisfaction and Pandavas of slow achievement. Krishna is symbolic of Positive attitude at which progress is at the highest speed. Thus, at the end only Krishna remains.
Ramayana:
The mythology: In Ramayana Rama's wife Sita is Kidnapped by a Demon, Ravana. Rama kills Ravana and brings back Sita to Ayodhya.
The symbolic meaning: The ten headed Ravana is symbolic of the wanton way of life we lead if we are not satisfied with whatever we have. The kidnapping is symbolic of the fact that our greed and indiscipline would be controlling us. Rama's killing of Ravana is symbolic of destruction of our greed and indiscipline.
Thus, Ramayana is about satisfaction, sacrifice, honesty and destruction of greed and indiscipline.
Thus, Mahabharata and Ramayana are important epics because they explain us how to behave in extremes conditions of life.
