Rama Birth In Bala Kanda Dasharatha was the king of Ayodhya and had three wives – Kausalya (eldest wife. She was the daughter of the King of Kosala Kingdom), The thought of his dynasty ending with him saddened King Dasharatha and he was very eager to have a son who would take care of the throne of Ayodhya. With King Dasharath’s consent, Guru Vashistha summoned Rishi Shringi to perform the Putra-Kam yagna (sacrificial fire for the birth of sons). The gods gave him with a bowl of divine nectar. As the three queens sat to eat their share of the prasadam, an eagle snatched Sumitra’s share. To console Sumitra, Kaikeyi and Kausalya gave half of their share each to Sumitra. With Kausalya and Kaikeyi each bearing one son i.e. Rama was born to Kausalya, Bharata was born to Kaikeyi, and Sumitra gave birth to twins i.e. Lakshman and Shatrughan ( Ram portrayed as the seventh avatar of the God Vishnu who had opted to be born into mortality in order to combat the demon Ravan, who was oppressing the Gods, and who could only be destroyed by a mortal. While Bharata and Rishi Vishwamitra trained the Princes in Bala Kanda Rishi (Sage) Viswamitra trained the sons of King Dasharath in the art of firing missile-arrows imbibed with secret chants that could cause the arrows to shower fire or water on its enemies, and even follow them through the seven worlds until they’re killed. When Ram was 16 years old, Rishi Vishvamitra visited to the court of King Dasharatha where the King received him with ...

Jambavan asks the monkeys Nala and Nila to start work on constructing the bridge over the sea. Nila and Nala accordingly start constructing the bridge over the sea with the help of other monkeys. Ram remembers his chosen God, Lord Shiva and makes a decision to set up a shrine for Rameswaram. When completed, the army of Ram begins to cross the bridge and arrives at Lanka, taking camp on Mount Suvela. When Mandodari hears of the advance of Ram’s army, she asks Ravan to return Sita to Ram as she fears for her husband’s life. Ravan’s son Prahasta also tries to reinforce his mothers sentiments, but with no success. Rama fires a warning shot from his retreat in Suvela which strikes Ravan’s crown and royal umbrella. Mandodari for a second time tries to convince Ravan of handing Sita back to Ram. In the mean time Ram asks Jambavan what should be done. Jambavan suggests that they send Angada, as messenger, to give Ravan an opportunity to return Sita. Angada in Ravana’sCourt: Yuddha Kanda – Valmiki Ramayana When Angada was on his way to the court, Ravana’s son spotted him and obstructed his path, hurling many insults on him. Ravana’s son thought Angad was the same vanar (monkey) who had set Lanka on fire. A quarrel broke out between them. All the Rakshas Rakshas ran away and gave the news to Ravan that the same monkey (Hanuman) had returned who had caused destruction in Lanka. Angad reaches the royal court of Ravan without much difficulty. On reaching court, Angad explains that he’s...

The answer can be both 'yes' and 'no'. The jury of scholars is still out, how can I student take it upon myself to answer the query. However, by logically analyzing the evidence presented by both schools, the answer tends towards "Yes. Uttara Kaanda is a later interpolation." Based on the prime evidence in Chapter IV of Baala Kaanda and Chapter CXXVIII (128) of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana, the following reply is made: Verse 2 of Chapter IV of Baala Kaanda of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana reads as under: (2) चतुर्विंशत्सहस्त्राणि श्लोकानामुक्तवानृषिः | तथा सर्गशतान् पञ्च षट्काण्डानि तथोत्तरम् || This epic contains twenty four thousand verses split into five hundred chapters in Six Cantos. (Baala Kaanda: Ch IV:2) [The six cantos are Baala Kaanda, Ayodhya Kaanda, Aranya Kaanda, Kishkinda Kaanda, Sundara (Lanka) Kaanda and Yuddha Kaanda.] However, the interpretation of the last term “तथोत्तरम् ” is explained by many scholars as “thereafter Uttaram”. Hence Uttara Kaanda is an original part of Srimad Valmiki Ramayana. While by usage the term “तथो ”can be interpreted as “thus”, “thereafter” as well as “and”. Though the normal usage allows this interpretation, however the first chapter of Baala Kaanda does not allow such interpretation. The first few stanzas make it clear from the query Maharshi Valmiki addressed to Maharishi Narada. • ॐ तपःस्वाध्यायनिरतं तपस्वी वाग्विदां वरम् | नारदं परिपप्रच्छ वाल्मीकिर्मुनिपुङ्गवम् || • को न्वस्मिन् साम्प्रतं लोके गुणवान् कश्च वीर्यवान् | धर्मज्ञश्च कृतज...

जब भी भगवान श्री राम के चरित्र की बात आती है, तो महर्षि वाल्मीकि द्वारा रचित रामायण (valmiki ramayana in hindi) को ही सबसे प्रमुख माना जाता है। महर्षि वाल्मीकि त्रेतायुग में जन्मे थे तथा भगवान राम के समकालीन थे, यही कारण है कि महर्षि वाल्मीकि द्वारा रचित रामायण को ही सबसे ज्यादा मान्य माना जाता है। यदि रामायण का संधि विच्छेद किया जाए, तो वह होगा राम + आयणम्, जिसका अर्थ है “राम की जीवन यात्रा”। वाल्मीकि रामायण को विश्व का प्रथम काव्य माना जाता है तथा महर्षि वाल्मीकि को विश्व का आदि कवि कहा जाता है। क्या है रामायण? ऐसा कहा जाता है कि चारों वेद जिस परम तत्व का वर्णन करते हैं, वही रामायण में श्री राम के रूप में चित्रित किया गया है। श्री राम के रूप में अवतीर्ण होने पर साक्षात वेद ही महर्षि वाल्मीकि के मुख से श्री रामायण (valmiki ramayana in hindi) रूप में प्रकट हुए, इसलिए श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय रामायण की वेदतुल्य ही प्रतिष्ठा है। रामायण सभी के लिए पूजनीय है तथा देश की सच्ची बहुमूल्य राष्ट्रीय पूंजी है, इस कारण भी रामायण सबके लिये संग्रह, पठन, मनन एवं श्रवण करने योग्य है। भगवान राम के चरित्र का उल्लेख कई ग्रंथों में होता है तथा सभी में कुछ न कुछ भिन्नता देखने को मिलती है। इस भिन्नता का कारण हम विष्णु पुराण से समझ सकते हैं, जिसके अनुसार एक कल्प में 14 मन्वन्तर होते हैं और एक मन्वन्तर या मनुकाल में 71 चतुर्युग होते हैं और 1 चतुर्युग में सत्य, त्रेता, द्वापर और कलि ये चार युग होते, अर्थात एक मन्वन्तर में श्री राम 71 बार इस पृथ्वी पर जन्म लेते है तो इसी कारण कई तथ्य, स्थान, प्रसंग आदि बदल जाते हैं। You will also ❤️ these: 17 Powerful Quotes on Karma by Lord Buddha 11 Powerful Self-Confide...

On the one hand, we could say that nothing much happens in the Uttara Kanda, that it exists only to reinforce the idea of Rama-as-Vishnu. The overall atmosphere of the kanda is calm and serene. Secure in his kingdom, Rama listens to the stories that Agastya tells him, mainly stories about Ravana’s ancestors and the rakshasa clan to which he belongs. On the other hand, we could say that everything that is of any lasting significance happens in the Uttara Kanda: Rama banishes his beloved Sita because he is persuaded by town gossip that a good man would not take back a wife who had lived in the house of another man; Rama kills Shambuka, a low-caste man practising austerities that are above his station, in order to secure the health and well-being of the brahmins in his kingdom; Rama is reunited with his sons, whom he now believes to be his legitimate heirs, at the sacrifice that he conducts, the same sacrifice at which he loses his wife forever; Rama watches over the voluntary death of his devoted brother Lakshmana who submits to the curse of the sage Durvasa. The Uttara Kanda is the seventh and last book of what we call the Valmiki Ramayana. The word Uttara has many meanings, among them, “after”, “epilogue”, “ultimate” and “answer”. This Uttara Kanda performs the functions of all those meanings: it comes after Rama’s adventures as an exiled prince and then as a reinstated king are over; it acts as an epilogue to the main story where loose ends are tied up and narrative closu...
