Aesthetics of Sriramakirtimahakavyam(Thai RAMAYANA)

SKM ,a Sanskrit mahakavya on the Thai Ramakien(the Rama story in Thailand).Beauty is not indispensable in the mass art of of the post-modern period.But the fact of its existence outside and inside literature is not neglected.Beauty has to be that which makes people and beholders flummoxed whether in feminine or in masculine context..Prof.Shastri's concept of beauty has a connection with wonder.Child Sita , rescued from the pitcher dug out of the earth,was eclipsing the lotuses with the splendour of her cheeks.Her large eyes were adorned with long eye-lashes,she was as effulgent as gold and as fair as the rays of the moon.Her beauty made people astounded.
                 Similarly, greed overpowered Sita after seeing the beauty of golden deer sent by Ravana.
   Love is the creative effect of Love god Cupid.It has its impact even on the most controlled personlity like Hanuman.It spreads its softly bending filaments when eligible man and woman look at each other.This is the first stage of relationship between two loving hearts.
         In love at first sight ,losing control of mind is the automatic effect.Man is a symbol of the tree of valour.And his loving beloved like a creeper has the instant desire to rest upon that tree as she is bereft of her composure with loss of mental strength and is overwhelmed in his close proximity.The golden mermaid gets instantly love-lorn at the sight of Hanuman.
This blog is dedicated to the multidimensional genius of Prof.Satya Vrat Shastri...Jnanpitha Awardee(2009),a leading Sanskrit poet of our time.
