Journal entry #1

Imminence:
1)(pg.9-10) Viswamithra goes to visit the divine king Dasaratha for permission to take Rama to battle the "savior". The Divine King Dasartha's presences is an example of being immanent.

2)(Pg. 19) In Ganga's Story, Bhagiratha prays for ten thousand years from the creator. Bhrama sends Ganga down. This example shows the divine being immanent because he has sent someone down in order to fulfill the request of Bhagiratha's will.

Illusory:
1) (pg.15) When Sita says "Oh, bird, wherever you may be, please be quiet." This is showing illusory because Sita can't actually see the bird or touch the bird and Sita has no way of proving the bird is there.

2) (pg.17) In Ganga's Story it talks about Ganga flowing along a valley, coming from the Himalayas. Ganga doesn't actually appear, when he does he uses other people in place of himself.

3) (pg.24) Lakshmana and Sita meet and immediately believe they are in love and they haven't even met yet. They have the illusion in their head that they for sure are in love. This is an example of illusory.
