Adiyen prapannnas My quandry is whether we should treat the Ramayna as a factual historical document, relating incidents which occured in earthly time, space and causation or as a literary device for expounding Vedantic Truths. "Itahasa puranabhyam vedam upabrahmayet" say Pillai Lokacarya in SVB quoting a well known verse - "the purpose of the Itihasa and Puranas is to expound the teaching of the Veda". Any views on this matter? Adiyen Sri Rama
