Bhima in the WWE Bhima Wrestling      "Standing 8 feet 2 inches tall! Weighing in at 540 pounds of straight musssscle!! Bhiiiiimaaaa!!"  cried the Monday Night Raw announcer. Out came the hulking figure of Bhima. He paused in a  power stance at the top of the walkway. Standing there, he flexed his mountainous muscles as he  beheld the crowd of 20,000+ screaming fanatics. He twirled his handlebar mustache before  continuing on course towards the ring.       Once he reached it, he leaped up onto the apron and proceeded to step over the top rope with his  people-sized legs. He swung his massive arms up above his head and roared at the audience. In some  spots, loud cheers erupted. In others, there was nothing but awe and silence. "Who is this man!?  Where did they find this beast!?" asked many of the spectators.       "Alright folks! Newcomer Bhima here is ...

Hanuman Competes in the Olympics Hanuman      The Tokyo 2020 Games had finally begun. However, as soon as the spectacular opening ceremony  concluded, an unexpected competitor arrived. The audience heard the most powerful thunder they  ever had, coming from the sky over the Olympic Stadium. Hanuman erupted down through the  clouds in a gigantic form and landed right in the middle of the ceremony. The audience and athletes  from all countries were astonished.       Hanuman announced in a thunderous voice "I am here to put in my bid as a contender for this  Olympiad!" The crowd gasped and could not even believe that Hanuman was real, much less that he  was going to compete. "I will represent myself as a 'nationality' and compete in all of the events!"  Hanuman declared. All of the athletes from every nation turned to each other with looks that  exclaimed "well, there goe...

Rama vs. 14,000 Rakshasas Statue of Rama in Kangra District      "Certainly Shurpanakha won't be very happy that you cut off her ears and nose" said Rama,  bluntly joking. "Eh, don't be so conservative. If anything, I made the hag look better" Lakshmana  retorted back to his elder brother. The two were sitting in the jungle of Panchavati with Rama's  consort, Sita. While they were resting after defending Sita from Shurpanakha, that fierce rakshasi  was racing off into the jungle like a mangy cat.       She reached the post of her two rakshasa cousins, Khara and Dushana. "Why Shurpanakha, you  look to be in rough condition" boasted Khara. "If you ask me, she looks better" commented Dushana.  "Don't push me, Dushana! I've just run two miles through the jungle in this condition!" "Yes, why are  you bleeding" asked Khara. Suddenly, Shurpanakha's composure went from v...

The Buddha: Teacher of Gods and Men Statue of Gautama Buddha      As was customary for Siddhartha, he headed back to his sleeping quarters by dusk to rest from a  long and tedious day of leading and mingling with his multitude of disciples. He would rest for only a  couple hours. Then, when all of his disciples were asleep, and surely nobody would disturb him, the  gods would descend and manifest in young Siddhartha's quarters.       The gods would come to this youthful and humble man to be his Heavenly disciples just like those  who were sleeping were Siddhartha's Earthly disciples. You see, the Buddha was a teacher of both  gods and men. Different divinities came and went on different nights. Sometimes the whole pantheon  squeezed in with Siddhartha, while other nights, one lonesome deity would come for his/her  own individual purpose. Tonight, it was Sakra, ruler of the gods...
