*Are Dreams Real: What Say Ramayan?*
As part of discussion on Bharatha’s dream, Professor Seshadri Ramkumar in a lecture at the Hindu Temple of Lubbock, analyzed the science behind dream.
The lecturer brought out how dreams are discussed in: 1) Upanishads; 2) Analysis by Sigmund Freud; 3) Medical Science and 4) Ithihasa’s like Ramayan.
Dr. Ramkumar using a show & tell explained the sleep cycle and the dream phase.
Even before Sigmund Freud accepted dreams have value, Upanishads showed dream is a stage in consciousness. As Sastra accepts dream is a process, medical profession also accepts it as a brain function, but the outcome attracts debate.
Based on detailed deliberation between the lecturer and an established physician Dr. Manickavasagam Sundaram, MD, PhD., of Canada, the lecturer brought how subtle differences between the understanding of dream as per Sastra and medical science. Thanks to Dr. Sundaram, the lecturer could present medical understanding of the subject.
It was a blessing that at the lecture on August 30, 2026, Dr. Himanshu Parikh, a Lubbock-based physician, was in the audience. It is Shri Ram’s grace that the science behind dream was lectured in presence of experts and attentive audience.
Bharatha’s dream ended up resulting in the demise of King Dasaratha.

*Sri Ramayana Lecture: Part 107*
*Political Game [राजकीय क्रीडा]*
Hindu Temple of Lubbock is doing a great service to Sanatana Dharma by organizing continuous lectures by Professor Seshadri Ramkumar on “Life Management & Sri Ramayan.”
*It is astonishing to note that Valmiki describes the original place of the ancestors of Ram. Is it not Ayodhya?*
Sorrow has engulfed Ayodhya. But the country should function. Sage Vashsita takes the responsibility and handles the situation politically. Five messengers are sent to get Bharat and Shatrugna from Kaikeya country (present day East of Persia).
Valmiki would not miss a chance to describe geographical landscape of the long journey to Kaikeya country.
The lecture portrays political and geographical landscapes.

*1000 & Ram: What’s the Logic?*
Shri Ram’s name showers multifold blessings.
Eulogizing Shri Ram’s name enables the fruit of contemplating Lord Vishnua’s 1000 gunAs. Almost every bhakta would know the famous conversation between Shambhu and Parvathi.
Why did Shambhuji instruct goddess Parvati to recite Shri Ram’s name just three times? There is math behind this logic.
Why did Saint Tulsidas invoke Ram’s name 6-times when Dasaratha departed the material world. There is logic.
Using clipboard and pen, Professor Seshadri Ramkumar explained the basis during a lecture on August 23, 2026, at the Hindu Temple of Lubbock, USA.
