Rama and rest of his brothers return back to Ayodhya after the weddings Bharata was taken to Kekaya Rajya. Rama grows of age and helps his Dad, King Dasharatha for 10 years Dasharatha decides to make Rama the next heir. It was welcomed by people as Democracy was part of ruling since then Rama blend with people at all levels . He attended any funerals or weddings he comes across. Lending extra money they possibly needed. This made him hugely popular among common people. He had a face that was super attractive. Extremely beautiful. People found it difficult to stop staring at him. Dasharatha was filled with happiness just by looking at his son Rama. Rama had an ocean of good qualities. Rama was completely against the rules of not meeting common people. He met people of the lowest category. Decision was made to coronate him the next day despite not being able to send invitations to some of the important neighbouring kings. There was unbelievable festivity in just a few hours. The entire city of Ayodhya was lit up, cleaned up and decorated for Rama’s coronation. Manthara sees all the festivity and gets all jealous about Rama’s coronation. She fumes when Kaikeyi expresses excitement too. And then, Manthara manages to poison Kaikeyi’s mind. The reason why 14 years of banishing Rama to forest is clearly explained.

Janaka explains about Shiva’s bow. It was a bow used in Daksha yagna. A bow that needs 150 people to move it. But Sita, as a toddler could push it. The finding of Sita… the meaning behind her name. Janaka experiences rain after 12 years as soon as he holds baby Sita in his hands. Some astonishing things Sita’s parents observed about her. How Rama picks up on the hint Vishwamitra packed into a sentence helping Rama pick the bow from the center. There’s a huge thunder and everyone except Rama, Lakshmana, Janaka and Vishwamitra fall unconscious. Rama insists his wedding happens right after King Dasharatha arrives. Sita was of very high character. She chose a lady Guru, Gargi and requested her father Janaka to setup a university exclusively for girls. Shatananda and Vasishta insist the remaining 3 sisters of Sita and 3 younger brothers of Rama too get wed. Sita kalyanam finally happens. Some of the mantras there are absolutely beautiful!. And explained by Dr Prabha. Entry of Parashurama has always fascinated me. Its today, I understand why Parashurama never came back until Mahabharata. I was surprised to know that Parashurama is still alive in the Himalayas. 10 years of blissful wedding before Ayodhya khanda starts.

In this episode, Dr Prabha walks us through how Rama questions Vishwamitra about a beautiful hermitage. Vishwamitra reveals the story of Gautama and Ahalya. We then get to listen the story of how Kushanabha’s 100 daughters and their curse. We wind up the episode with Vishwamitra’s own story which is a beautiful saga. I hope you enjoy it.

Rama’s birth was a result of a Yagna done by his parents. His birth and the festivity around is something that cannot be missed. The best part of Rmayana is when Rama is getting moulded into DHarmatma in his childhood by Vishwamitra. This episode, is packed with huge lot of those stories we’d probably have never heard. I love the way Bhaghiratha brings Mandakini down to earth and makes her Ganga. Listen to this astounding story.

Hi, Here’s our first episode for the Navratri. Lets start with an introduction to Valmiki, He reveals in Uttarakhanda that he’s the son of Prachetas, a great saint but became a hunter midway due to the friends he made as a child.

Hi, This episode forms the base of the Ramayana we’ll listen over the next 9 days. Dr Prabha Sridhar, a multiple PhD holder in Sanskrit, beautifully explains how this text is not plain mythology but our history too. She explains the impact this great scripture has had in her life. I just love listening to Ramayana in any format, anywhere, anytime. Listen to know how Strong a lady Sita was as opposed to the general sober image painted about her. I hope you enjoy listening. Thanks, Geetha
