Avatar 3D - A Love Story...

Avatar 3D - A Love Story...or was it an inspiration from Rushi(Saint) Valmiki's Ramayana?

Well James Cameron did it again, and his love towards things that are out of this world and alien continues... I don't know if UFO's and Aliens exists but i am made to believe now, that a world call "Pandora" exists. No one in the theater moved from the seats for 2hr:42 min, though the 3D goggles were irritating the first few minutes, I completely forget about them till i reached the exit gate of the theatre when i had to return them.

I am not sure if the movie Avatar was any way influenced by Indian mythology, but some facts are worth looking at.

1. Movie name "Avatar" though the western world knows the word Avatar from the various funny Avatars we use on instant messengers, the descent of the word is actually from "Sanskrit" language.

2. The second one, this is an easy one, people from India had known for centuries that Lord Rama (& Krishna in a different avatar) had the skin color Blue, so does the Navi of Pandora in the Movie.

3. According to Ramayana, Lord Rama was more than 9ft tall and so does the Navi's in the movie.

4. In Ramayana, how did Lord Rama meet Sita Devi?

Rushi(Saint) Vishvamitra approaches Lord Rama and his brothers to help them during there yagna(religious rituals) and ward of the demons who were disturbing the ritual, Lord Rama readily agrees and defeats the demon Taraka. Then rushi vishvamitra takes the brother's to the court of King Janaka, where Lord Rama meets Sita.****** In the movie Avatar hero Jake was also sent on a mission to the Pandora in a Navi Avatar and eventually meets Neytiri, chased by some wild James cameroon created creature.

5. Jake Sully flying on the big bird creature was a treat to watch and to our surprise Lord VIshnu (Another avatar of Lord Rama & Lord Krishna) used to fly Lord Garuda, know as the king of Birds (Son of Kasyapa). And it was believed that Lord Garuda was a very strong bird and fears none but it choose Lord Vishnu to serve.

6.The character "Tus'Tey" in the movie who is fondly called brother by Jake might be Lord Lakshmana...who knows....

If i think and compare more, i am afraid i might find more reasons to believe that Avatar(movie) was inspired from Ramayana :-)

Avatar movie was an amazing experience and must watch only on IMAX or 3d.

Happy movie watching!

C U...till another movie blows away my senses...
