Jagannatakam : A new blog to reveal the unknown epical things
The Hindu mythology and puranaas are well known as Jagannatakam created by god. I always wonder that how they authored such a massive story with thousands of unique characters with out a single flaw or visible stitch. For me, it looks like World’s Greatest Screen Play that was ever ever written. Every character has its own & unique values and power and meaning to live those times. These characters always look facinating to me.
Having said that, I am trying to throw some light on these characters in a new telugu blog called Jagannatakam. I hope readers also would share thier views and known things about these characters.
