Kadamba Kanana Swami did a brilliant presentation of the Ramayana at the South Coast in Durban- 09 October 2009. Let us enter the pastimes of Lord Ramacandra...Let us this evening enter into a meditation. Our meditation is on especially Lord Ramacandra, who appeared one million years ago and yet is still such a prominent personality that no one forgets. I remember I was in India during the years that the televsion series on the Ramayana was becoming very popuar. At that that time people in India just bought televisions to see the Ramayana! And every week there was an episode of the Ramayana and the whole country would just stop! On the railways, people would just pull the emergency breaks, got off the train, found a village, found a television and sat down to watch the Ramayana. And if in some village, during the Ramayana the electricity would go out, then the villagers, they marched on the power houses and burnt it down! The Ramayana had to be seen...it was not just a television series, it was just a whole nation that was virtually entering so deeply into the Ramayana. It was not a movie, it was as if the spirtual reality became visualised before the eyes of the people...
