Season 3 - Episode 7
Description
James captivates our imagination with Hanuman's heroic leap over the ocean to the mystical land of Sri Lanka, where through a series of insurmountable tests and encounters with archetypal demons, he eventually reunites Rama and Sita and restores the wheel of Dharma. Hanuman is victorious, demonstrating skillful and appropriate action, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. James illustrates how all of the characters in the story represent different parts of the human psyche, and the call is for greater integration and wholeness. If we stay steady in the face of challenges and demonstrate calm and skillful action, then these challenges or tests can be transformed into something that empowers us. When we have the courage to actualize our deeper longings nothing is ever lost.

Just finished (binge) watching the three Mythology seasons. Fantastic, powerful life lessons told in way that was enjoyable to listen to as well as non-challenging to comprehend. The final story of the last class of season three should be required listening for all human beings. 🙏🏻

As the pandemic weighs heavily upon us these days, how inspiring is the final instalment of this great story! One woman lights a tiny lamp in the oppressive darkness, which inspires another person to light a lamp, and so on until the dark valley is illuminated. Our love is inextinguishable by any kind of darkness; the light of our love drives the darkness away. And we can express it by the tiniest gesture...

My only problem is that there isn't more. Please have James come back if he can. Truly inspiring and deeply healing, these teachings should be taught in classrooms everywhere!

Brilliant story, so much to take away, the amazing powers we have and our capacity to overcome obstacles...And the super moving death of Ravana, bearing his heart open, so that Rama can become a whole human being...and the beautiful end...a small flame can be the beginning of something remarkable...the more I hear the more I am in awe of the wisdom of the puranas, thank you so much James for sharing inspirational, perennial teachings so relevant to us today.
