She is defined by her greatness and penance not by her mistake. Great line.

[@arminphulkar2442]

Not judge by her mistake, but by her purification of thought by her tapasya. The level of liberalism of ancient thought is astonishing!

[@vijayhardikjosyula8815]

I somehow telepathically knew the post was put up. Another great episode busting the outlandish myths propagated which drove people away from our rich heritage.

The story of maa ahalya has GOT to be one if the most wrongfully told ones. Wth? Raam and Lakshman touched her feet? And not otherwise? This is.... mindblowing

[@MonojitBhattacharjeeMONO]

Eye opener... truly the later translation were really away from the facts .....you explained it such nicely......

[@RakeshSharmarajj]

So lovely So sweet music Along with narration No word to thank

[@Ashwinsyoutubization]

Assuming there was not future reading, how would Gautam Muni know RAM would visit their Ashram in the Future? Sounds a bit mystical. Is it more along the lines, that Ram/Vishvamitra Muni evaluated the situation as per Dharma and determined that Ahalya has spent enough time in Tapasya and can be relieved of her curse?

Correctly said.....👌👍

[@21Notes]

Absolutely, point taken. In spite of the gaps between these episodes, we hope you will stay with us on this incredible journey with Ram. The time between the episodes has unfortunately increased because the latest episodes are longer in duration. Now approximately 8 minutes long as compared to the earliest episodes that were 3-4 minutes. We are working to publish them as quickly as possible while maintaining the quality of research. But yes, long breaks between episodes are not good. So in Season 2, we will keep more episodes ready before we start publishing.

Wonderful depiction of ahalya

[@reikihealeraccupressuretherapy]

How wonderful

[@dawafu]

Masterfully told

[@girishdsalian]

Hi. Few questions. On what basis does Sage Gautama says that, once Rama comes to the Ashram, the penance of Ahalya will be over ? Did he foresee that Rama and Vishwamitra will be in his Ashram in coming years ? Is there any mention of how many years did Ahalya do the Tapasya ? It would be enlightening if you could answer these. Thank you.

[@21Notes]

Hi. Valmiki does not directly answer the questions you have raised. But please do read the 48th Sarga of the Balakand where you will find some more details beyond what we were able to cover in the video. www.valmiki.iitk.ac.in/sloka?field_kanda_tid=1&language=dv&field_sarga_value=48

[@Rohit-ij7mb]

​@@21NotesThanks for sharing. I read it. But there are some facts which u didn't mention in the video -- 1. Indra was the same Indra - the king of gods. 2. Indra did really entered into the ashram in the form of Gautam Rishi. 3. Gautam Rishi cursed both Indra and Ahalya. 4. Ahalya turned into ashes (yea mentioned in Valmiki Ramayan). As Gautam Rishi said you will regain your original form only after offering your hospitality to Shree Ram and then you will regain your purity and you would be free from curse.

[@pavanikrishna6218]

what happened to indra afterwards?

[@dead34311]

@Khushi Puri yes, i see people here commenting here oh see it was normal to have affairs back then, blinding the punishments they both recieved, ahalya invisible for 1000 of years to any leaving being and indra loosing his testicles

The question is not if the man is being respected or not. It is the women who had to regain respect and recognition.

[@Rohit-ij7mb]

Because it was the fault of woman ahalya.. not to forget indra dev was also cursed by Gautam Rishi

Great

[@SomprakashShukla]

Please confirm this! In ramacharithmanas tulasi das tell that ahalya was cheated. She had no idea that it was Indra. But here in Valmiki Ramayana it's like she willingly slept and did talk about satisfaction and then ask Indra to go before Gautam comes. So ahalya knew that it was Indra. And she cheated on her husband!?

[@21Notes]

Valmiki is very clear that Ahalya gave her consent. Please see Shlokas 19 and 20 of the 48th Sarga of Balakand. www.valmiki.iitk.ac.in/sloka?field_kanda_tid=1&language=dv&field_sarga_value=48

[@vijayhardikjosyula8815]

Just as having an extramarital affair is personal choice. Dealing with the aftermath is also the couple's prerogative. At the end of the day all that matters is consent.

[@aryanroy76]

Bro whenever you have any doubt about any version of ramayana and valmikis one it is always preferred to take valmiki s one as authentic source because it is the only source of all ramayana. Tulsidas was born in 15th century , he certainly can't be more true than valmiki himself .

This story is untrue. Many verses have been added to Ramayana. True story was told by Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati. Think it yourself is it possible that a enlightened Rishi would marry a ordinary lady. Ahalya Mata was enlightened too. No such infidelity ever happened.

The whole theme of "Better Call Saul" is how a person still rises up as a person due to the mistake he committed, but unfortunately, he wasn't as purified as Ahalya.

[@phoenixj1299]

Ahalya is purified that's why she would allow others (other than her husband ) to sleep with her. Pure indeed.
