Most of us believe the Ramayana ends with Ravan’s defeat and the establishment of Ram Rajya. But the true ending lies beyond victory — in a quiet, devastating chapter shaped by vows, dharma, and sacrifice.
In this episode, we explore the moment when Lakshman made a single decision that sealed his own fate. The arrival of Rishi Durvasa, the mysterious visitor who revealed himself as Yam — the god of time and death — and the impossible choice faced by Raja Ram, where upholding dharma meant letting go of his own brother.
From the Ashwamedha Yagya and the reunion with Luv and Kush, to Sita’s final return to the earth and the jal samadhi at the banks of the Sarayu — this is the rarely told ending of the Ramayana.
This is not just an ending. It is a meditation on duty, sacrifice, and the cost of keeping one’s word.
