it is startling how every mythology has parallels to different mythologies, but what surprised me the most that there's a similar parallel to sisyphus in india's malayalam folklore. this character is called 'naranth bhranthan' whose chief activity was rolling a big stone up a hill and then letting it fall back down.

every time this one man sang megh malhara from the roof of his house, the clouds would applaud and rain some love over the crops and the peacocks and the children who loved the rain back. most of the people did appreciate in surprise, though the samkhya in them sought what raga was sung to the almighty. the yoga in them picked upon the calmness in his voice that they could put to use. the nyaya in them would always wonder, use logic, state the “why” and the vaisheshika in them would study the element of the rain. the mimansa in them had the texts of eternal truth that would guide you through the rain’s rituals, while the vedanta in them acknowledged the universe within themselves, within the song and the rain. the charvaka continued to sing. the crops continued to smile, and the children, the peafowls continued to dance. https://www.instagram.com/p/CEGfqGdpYQ_/?igshid=1rtl5j8zp3qka
