In this episode, we witness the pivotal moment when Sage Vishwamitr arrives at King Dashrath’s court in Ayodhya, setting in motion a series of events that would lead Ram to begin his journey as a protector of righteousness. Dashrath, content and proud of his four young sons, is suddenly faced with a difficult decision when Vishwamitr requests Ram's assistance in protecting a sacred yagn from powerful demons.

Join Sandeep as he narrates the emotional conversation between Dashrath, who is torn between his love for his son and his duty to uphold righteousness, and Vishwamitr, whose determination and insight guide the course of events. Despite his initial reluctance, Dashrath ultimately agrees to send Ram, along with Lakshman, with Vishwamitr, marking the beginning of a profound journey for the young princes.

This episode explores themes of duty, sacrifice, and faith as Dashrath must make the heart-wrenching decision to let his beloved sons embark on their first adventure away from home. We also see the unwavering bond between Ram and Lakshman, as Lakshman steps forward to accompany his brother into the unknown.

Listen as we set the stage for Ram’s journey into the forest—a journey that will test his courage, skill, and commitment to Dharm under the guidance of the great Sage Vishwamitr.
