Week 2 Reading Overview

The version of Ramayana that I have chosen to read is the Public Domain Edition. I have chosen to read this one because it is free online, and is easily accessible to wherever I go. I also like that there are lots of illustrations and notes, as that can help if I ever get confused during the reading and need something to help me with context or following along. Additionally, I like that there is an audio recording, as listening to an audio while reading helps me focus and sort of reinforces the words I'm reading. 

The Goddess Kali

The first video that I was interested in was called Kali Through Many Eyes. I was interested in this video because I've heard about Kali before in the past, and seen her in a few movies and shows that I've watched. I don't know a lot about her, but I've always thought the artwork of her was very intriguing. I would like to read and learn more about her in the future, as I love learning about all the Gods and Goddess of different religions and mythologies. 

The second video that I was interested in was called Harry Potter Meets Hindu Mythology. I am a big fan of Harry Potter, so I think it would be so fascinating to look into the similarities between these two things. I know that Harry Potter pulls from a lot of historical events and mythologies in a subtle way. I also considered looking into the video that shows parallels between Greek and Hindu mythology, as I have always loved Greek mythology and know a lot about it. 

The first comic that I was interested in looking at was called Shiva Parvati. This story looked interesting because of the cover. I read a little bit more of the summary and thought it was intriguing how Parvati tries to win the love of another. I think this would be fun to look into in more detail, as it deals with so many different themes, and she is reborn into another person. 

The last comic that I was interested in was Mahiravana. I also really liked the cover of this one and wanted to read a bit more about it, but I was really fascinated that it talked about him being the king of the netherworld, as well as a magician. Mythology and magic are really fascinating to me, so I might read more about this in further detail.
