Later, Goswami Tulsidas had written the same story of Ramayan in Awadhi,but the difference was that,he feel so bad by the last part of it ,uttar kand, as it was not a happy ending. Rishi Valmiki was also known as the guruji or teacher of Luva-Kush who trained them as warriors. Next time,lord Brahama came to him and told him that he can write the story of goddess Sita before the event will happen.And when Sita left the palace,and came to the forest,she met rishi Valmiki there.Then onwards she had taken shelter in his ashram.And then born two twin children to Sita, named Luva and Kush. Once,Narada muni came to his ashram and asked him to write the whole story of lord Ram in metrical way. Rama killed several of Ravana’s brothers and eventually confronted the ten-headed Ravana.The sanskrit Ramayan is written by Maharishi Valmiki.He had divided it into two parts: Ramayan and Uttar Ramayan another part of it. Rama, Lakshmana and the monkey army built a causeway from the tip of India to Lanka and crossed over to Lanka where a cosmic battle ensued. He then flew back to Rama to tell him where Sita was.
With his tail burning, Hanuman escaped and hopped from house-top to house-top, setting Lanka on fire. Ravana’s men captured Hanuman, and Ravana ordered them to wrap Hanuman's tail in cloth and to set it on fire. He flew to Lanka and, finding Sita in the grove, comforted her and told her Rama would come to save her soon. Hanuman, the general of the monkey band can fly since his father is the wind. Rama then sought the help of a band of monkeys offer to help him find Sita. The moment Sita stepped outside the circle to give him food, Ravana grabbed her and carried her to his kingdom in Lanka. After Rama and Lakshmana left, Ravana appeared as a holy man begging alms. Before they did though, they drew a protective circle around Sita and told her that she would be safe for as long as she did not step outside the circle. To please her, Rama and Lakshmana went to hunt the deer down. He sent one of his demons disguised as a magical golden deer to entice Sita. In retaliation, Ravana devised a plan to abduct Sita after hearing about her incomparable beauty. She returned to her brother Ravana, the ten-headed ruler of Lanka. One day Rama and Lakshmana wounded a rakshasas (demon) princess who tried to seduce Rama. Sita and Lakshmana accompanied him on his exile. Rama, always obedient, was content to go into banishment in the forest. The devastated King could not face Rama and it was Queen Kaikeyi who told Rama the King’s decree. Because of an oath Dasharatha had made to her years before, she got the king to agree to banish Rama for fourteen years and to crown Bharata, even though the king pleaded with her not to demand such a request.
Everyone seemed pleased, save Queen Kaikeyi since she wanted her son Bharata to rule. Their love became a model for the entire kingdom as they looked over the kingdom under the watchful eye of his father the king.Ī few years later, King Dasharatha decided it was time to give his throne to his eldest son Rama and retire to the forest.
Seeing this, Sita indicated that she had chosen Rama as her husband by putting a garland around his neck. However, as Rama picked it up, he not only strung the bow, he broke it. When it was time for Sita to choose her bridegroom (at a ceremony called a swayamvara) princes from all over the land were asked to string a giant bow which no one could lift. In the neighboring city the ruler’s daughter was named Sita. The other two were twins, Lakshmana and Shatrughna whose mother was Sumithra. Bharata was the son of Dasharatha’s second and favorite wife, Queen Kaikeyi. Rama was the eldest and his mother was Kaushalya. Here is a short summary of the great epic "Ramayana"ĭasharatha was the King of Ayodhya and had three wives and four sons.
