Ramachandra! Here is the creator of your family dynasty, Sun God
...Progenitor of Raghukula dynasty Pay your greetings to him
The one who rides the chariot with seven horses
Son of Kasyaparf the one who gives lighting to the world
The one who has white lotus
I salute you, Sun God!
Gurudeva, Sage Vasishta!
We greet you! You taught us not to be unjust!
Long live
Today's coronation was decided by King Dasaratha 14 years ago
That auspicious time is today
Both, that day's decision and today's auspicious event are decided by God
But this is significant
Generally, kings who rule the country will ride the king's chariot...
...after their coronation
But today, Rama will be coronated as king...
...after having destroyed Ravana & his demons thus saving the honor of our kingdom
He is the only king to be officially coronated...
...after discharging his duty as a king!
Hail King Rama Victory to him
Rama, the heir of Inavamsam, Ikshvaku dynasty protector,
...great grandson of King Raghu, grandson of King Ajamahudu...
...and son of King Dasaratha,
He becomes the ruler of Ayodhya being blessed by all the Gods
I, Rama greets you all in front of Sita, Lakshmana, Bharatha, Shathrugna and Hanuma
Water and wind, hot and shadow, day and night
Those are equal to everyone
The equality as promise, and justice as God...
I swear that I'll rule this country with my full strength
Victory to King Ramachandra
Having faith in me you have made me king
It's not right to think that a King enjoys his life and rules by sitting on the throne
Ranjaithe ithi rajaha
It means whoever pleases his people and makes them happy, is their King
So it has been said by our ancestors
I believe that people are more important than my family and myself
I am accepting this post to be a judge to this kingdom's heritage
Ramarajyam means this country will be cared by Rama
Then only it will be ruled by Rama
I greet you all
Hail Rama Victory to you
Let good fortune shower on our benevolent king Rama
Let happiness rain on the husband of Janaki, the ruler
Let the fortune of victory prevail with him always
Be prosperous Kosavendrayarf who has great virtue
Be prosperous the son of the emperor, the mighty
Lord Ramachandra!
By the instructions of lord Brahma, by the inspiration of saint Naradha
I, Valmiki, started to write the epic, Sri Ramayana
And it has been completed today
Let all humans enjoy listening to this Rama Katha Sudha,
...which blesses us with virtues and forgives our sins
Ending!? Is the story completed?
It was very inspiring
If it continues, it will be even more interesting
Do you want more?
We cannot be satisfied Let us listen to Rama's story many times
But, stories are made with mixture of happiness and sorrow
Sita and Rama have faced many troubles for 14 years
At the last they are united
So the story is complete
Henceforth there are no troubles, only joy
If there are no troubles, can't tell stories?
If it is so, leave it
Let there not be troubles for Sita and Rama even as a mere tale
Nothing is in our hands It's all God's play
Only He knows how many twists and turns happen in this story
You belong to Sun dynasty but adorn Moon's dot
- Is it your kindness or else...? - Else...!
- Finding faults? - Got a doubt?
Seems like you are hiding something Look at the waistband
It seems like a new jewel
The affection of love is reddened by betel nut and leaves
It is time to make it come true
To make loverf when Moon appears...
Every night, Sita's heart becomes a bed
Silence also is sweet Time is utilized well
This is the love-world of Rama Let this bond forever bloom
It is a pure form of freedom with Sun and Moon as witnesses
This Divine bond can never be parted
Sri Rama Raghu Rama A mesmerizing chant
Has Sita's love tied the hands of Rama?
Sri Rama's affection, Sita's sudation
Does my mother know about this?
Love of Sri Rama's... will be quenched by Sita
This is a bond that can never be parted
We have to perform bangle ceremony for the girls
Our priests have fixed an auspicious time for the event
If you permit them, with your blessings...
...we'll take Sita, Urmila, Mandavi, and Sudha Keerthi with us to our home
Why do you ask like that, brother?
It is our custom to perform the bangle ceremony at the girl's residence
We can't oppose that
Even if we agree, your sons-in-law should also permit
What do you say Ramaiah?
Son-in-law, you are still standing
You may be our son-in-law, but you are the king of Ayodhya
Please be seated
Though I am the king of Ayodhya, I am a son to my mother
This is the correct place for me when mother is here
May you be prosperous!
May you be happy! Only Rama can guarantee this!
Come girls!
Father! Are you fine?
Your parents have come to take you home
- It is our duty to bless you - It is your duty to bear babies
Are you fine, dear?
Get ready to travel Okay?
Their faces brightened after hearing that they are leaving with their parents
- Maharaja - Son-in-law
It is common to address me formally in the court
But call me 'father-in-law' at home My daughter will feel happy
Father-in-law! I've got a message from the Royal court
- Shall I visit them once? - King's duty!? Certainly
First subjects, then we look into our personal issues
Fine, since king is not here, let's get the consent of queen Sita devi
Will any girl refuse to go to her parents' home?
It is not right People may mistake us
Just listen to me, father! I can't stay there leaving him alone here
My older daughter Sita is not agreeing to the bangle ceremony at her parents' home
She says that she can't come leaving her husband alone here
That is true, brother She is right
Though she was not needed, she didn't abandon her husband
She went with him to the forest and faced many troubles for 14 years
Yes...yes
It is not correct to make them part with bangle ceremony as an excuse
No one has the power to reject her wish
I accept it whole heartedly
Though your parents felt sad you made your in-laws happy
I'm more happy than everyone else
Unexpected gift I liked it
Ask whatever boon you want
Boon!? l don't want any boon
Why are you shocked?
I am afraid of boons
Boons didn't suit my father-in-law
Because of those boons, I had to go to the forest and kill Ravana
...and achieve victory, world peace, prosperity to the kingdom
Fine, forget it
Ask me your wish in this happy moment
King! My wish may not come true
Don't have doubts
When did I ever reject any wish you asked from me?
Tell me
This wish is not for me It is for us
The fruit of my prayer, is to give birth to a healthy baby
And for his happiness
I want to get the blessings of hermits' wives
You wish to go to the forest
In your 3rd trimester if you wish to travel into the forest
King's mothers, elders of our clan won't accept
I know that
- My wish is not an easy one - Let's make it happen
It is your wish that it should happen before you deliver the baby
So, let's tell them we must do some offering and go there
- Then let's go tomorrow - Tomorrow!?
It is said when a deer wakes up it starts to run
What? Are you scared listening to the word deer?
I didn't mean that magic deer This is an innocent deer
- Have betel-nut - Justice bell is ringing
Is this the time for that bell to ring?
- Dangers don't come according to time - It is ringing continuously
But it is king's duty to attend to the matter immediately
Married life also is a duty
Not married life, service is the greatest dharma of all dharmas
Oh my dear! This Rama is faithful, diligent and slave to that dharma
My lord! I am Bhadrudu, the chief spy in this Ayodhya
They are spies roaming all over this kingdom
...to get information about kingdom's security and people's welfare
My lord! I am from East from West
...from North from South
People are facing many troubles in your kingdom
Troubles like, there are no beggars even if the rich want to give alms
Only pleasures, no diseases
All the hospitals are shutdown and are being destroyed
No work for Yama (Death-lord)'s men They are chiding him
Heaps of gold, diamonds, rubies and gems are being sold like vegetables!
- Stop flattering me - No, my lord
People are living happily in our kingdom
Good, I am very happy
Though everything is safe, you have to be alert always
You know that troubles don't give a warning
Bhadra! What news have you brought now?
Is everyone fine?
I must convey what was told verbatim!
Everyone is happy and rich
Under your rule, there is no place for any word other than happiness
And it's impossible
- Guards! You go and do your duty - We obey you
- Bhadra! Tell me - There is nothing to tell, my lord
Everything is safe and everyone is happy
Bhadra! Look at me
Seeing your appearance and facial expression
I believe that there is no link between your inner thought and speech
- I sense fear in you - Nothing like that, my lord
I am very tired and no sleep That's all
Hiding the truth is worse than telling a lie
It's dangerous
Whatever the blame is...tell me
My lord!
Uncle! Sister is here
- Come - Enough, brother-in-law!
My wife is pregnant
It took 4 days for your wife to come here after completing her prayers
Don't mistake her
Stop right there
I'll kill you if you step inside
You went to your parents' home on Full moon day
...and returned home on New moon day
- What is the matter? - Nothing, dear
My sister is pregnant Don't you know that?
Because of my old mother's request, I stayed behind a few days
- Was that a mistake? - Mistake!?
Your sister conceived and you enjoyed with your brother-in-law
You think l didn't know that
Don't shout I'll kill you
Listen aunt! What he is saying?
Oh God! I swear on you I swear on my mother
I am not like that woman Not at all
I swear on my mother I swear on our family deity
What is this Thippa? Your wife is like a flame?
You'll go blind if you blame her
How could you accuse her, you damn idiot?
- Damn your mouth - You are committing a blunder
Leave me
This immoral Sivangi! I don't know if she was faithful
...or she was hand in glove with her lover
She went to her parents' home promising to be back the next day
Not 1 or 2 days, but 10 days
She stayed behind without returning home
I won't accept this immoral woman
Don't get angry
Don't spoil your life with your own hands
Let's go to King Rama's court He'll give the judgment fairly
Leave my hand
King Rama!? His judgment!?
Can an accused give me judgment?
If you blame him you'll be blinded
- You'll be reduced to ashes - Why should I turn into ashes?
Has he come from the sky? He is also a human like us
His wife was captured by a stranger for a year...
...but now he is living with her without any shame
- What did you say, you fool? - Oh mother!
Why are you hitting me, you old man?
Did I say anything wrong?
Now tell me
Shamelessly he brought his wife from a stranger's home
...where she was for a year and now he's living with her, isn't it?
Answer me
Tell me, isn't he living with her or not?
Why don't you speak up? Come on, tell me
Isn't he living with her or not?
Shamelessly he brought his wife, from a stranger's home
...where she was for a year and now he's living with her, isn't it?
My lord! It was a drunkard's words
Like stones from a beggar
Don't believe that Don't mind what he blabbered
I had to tell you about that incident because of your repeated questions
That's all
Get up
Bhadra! You heard it and saw with your own eyes, right?
- Who is there? - Your order, my lord
- Call Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shatrugna - l obey you, my lord
Bhadra! You can go
- My lord! - It's king's orders Don't tell anything
Go Go away
I don't want this kingdom or this crown
I don't want this kingdom Sita...Sita
I don't want this crown
Sita...Sita
I don't want this kingdom Sita...Sita
I don't want this crown Sita...Sita
- My lord! - Sita
I don't want
I don't want either this throne or this kingdom
I want my Sita
- Sita...Sita - Brother!
Sita is here She is with you safely
She can't be like that henceforth It is my fate
- Sita...Sita! - Brother! lt is some nightmare
It is your illusion it's confusing you
No...no, it's not an illusion
It is a game, played by fate
I won't surrender to it I won't lose my Sita
- Sita...Sita - Brother...brother
Dear brothers! Any one of you can take this throne
Release me from this jail I want my Sita
I can't abandon my Sita I can't bear that loneliness
Abandon...loneliness! Brother! What are you saying?
We don't understand you Stop playing the fool
I am not kidding It is pure truth
I'll perform your coronation tomorrow morning
I'll also go along with my Sita to the forests
Let the inauspicious words vanish
Brother! Don't be hasty Please relax
No relaxation
I must abandon either Sita or the throne
Abandon Sita!? Why this disastrous decision?
Yes, it's a disastrous decision I got blamed terribly
Eclipse has afflicted our Sun dynasty
Our dynasty's prestige is at stake!
- Brother! - Bharatha! What can I say?
In our kingdom a man blamed his wife's conduct and sent her away
When people around him demanded an explanation
He said that to live with this dishonest lady...
he was not like Rama who brought Sita from Ravana's custody
...after a year and started living with her
Who is that idiot, who said that?
I'll cut him into many pieces
Can you kill all the people who blame me?
- Brother! - Yes
It could be false or true People are believing this
When he asked them how they'd behave in such a situation
...no one uttered a word or opposed it
They were all silent
She proved her chastity in the fire test
Fire test happened in the kingdom of Lanka
How would they know about it?
It is their belief and their judgment
A true king is a slave to his subjects
He has to respect their beliefs and judgment
No one opposed this judgment
If I want my kingdom I have to sacrifice my wife
Or if I want my wife I have to give up my kingdom
That's correct
Brothers! I don't want this kingdom I want my Sita
Sita is my life There is no Rama without Sita
And he can't exist
Though you are younger than me I plead to you
Any one of you can accept this crown
Share this burden
Show your kindness on your brother and sister-in-law
Don't inherit this sin of parting Sita and Rama
Release us Allow us to go to the forest
Brother!
Not one of us has the strength to adorn your crown
...and no eligibility or capacity
If you order us we'll be ready to jump into fire
- But... - Brother
We are your slaves and servants That's all
Slaves and Servants!?
No, you are not my servants
You are servants to the God of death
By calling me your brother you are trying to destroy my life
Okay, my slaves, my servants I order you
Lakshmana! Take your sister-in-law and leave her in the forest tomorrow morning
This soil became virtuous after she was born
This dynasty got prosperous after she came here
And all the sins vanished when people chanted Sita's name
That honorable woman...that virtuous woman...
Stop your eulogy
- Bharatha! You go... - Brother!
You are very kind But now you are angry
You are not compassionate now
It is not my wish It is my duty
From Ikshavaku's to my father King Dasaratha, our elders got name and fame
...bearing many troubles and sacrificing many things
I have no right to tarnish that record
There is only 1 option
To preserve our dynasty's prestige, Sita and l...
...should live with the pain and pangs of separation
It's fate that has decided this life for us
Brother!
Lakshmana! On that day, when Sita requested you to arrange the fire in Lanka
...you did it
Today Rama orders you to leave Sita in the forest
Leave her near Sage Valmiki's hermitage
Keep this a secret
Chariot is ready
I am also ready
Why didn't you adorn the jewels?
I am going to seek the blessings of hermits' wives
No need ofjewels and cosmetics
They won't recognize me if I go like that
They'll greet me
They'll get scared if they know that I am a queen
...and they won't see and speak to me
Even if the king comes with me we'll go dressed in this manner
- Where is he? - He won't come
I mean he can't come now
I see, then l'll go and get his blessings
That's not possible He is taking rest
If we delay, the auspicious time for travel will go
Okay
Wind, Sky, Water, Earthrf and Fire...
None of you could oppose Rama's decision
Who committed the crime? Who got punished?
Who could stop this atrocity? Who is it?
Sages and hermits are not present
Where have the philosophers gone?
Is it fair to the journey which moves silently?
Hills, mounds, forest, waterfalls and Sarayu river
Ask, if it is fair to him?
Wind, Sky, Water, Earthrf and Fire...
None of you could oppose Rama's decision
Will you forsake the promise you gave?
Will you oppose the promise made by you in the middle of court hall?
Will you oppose the Truth?
Will you support the lie for sake of your happiness and your wife?
It's not good Rama, it's not good for you
Will you insult your ancestors, inhabitantsrf...
...and your father who abandoned you for his promise?
It is not justice
Will you betray the truth for your pleasures and married life?
It is not good for you, Rama
It's not good
Wind, Sky, Water, Earthrf and Fire...
None of you could oppose Rama's decision
Lakshmana! Where is the hermitage?
It is situated nearby
- Come, let's go there - I got orders to leave you here
Orders!?
What orders? Who gave? For whom? And why?
- To leave you in the forest - Lakshmana! Are you joking?
Did Rama order you to leave me in this dense forest?
Not Rama's orders, lt is the king's orders
...to leave you near the hermitage
Did he order you to leave me here? So, he is...
He is not coming
Why Lakshmana? I don't understand
Don't forgive me Curse me
- Turn me into ashes - Lakshmana! What is this?
Don't hurt me and kill me with your words, tell me clearly
Ayodhya's king Rama abandoned you, queen Sita
You are exiled from the kingdom It's the king's orders
Similarly Rama's orders
Did my lord abandon me?
Hey Lord Siva and Parvathy! Oh, five elements...
Oh! Goddess of earth! Protect my sister-in-law!
Take care of her from all dangers
My lord! You are very kind to forgive your enemies
Why this fate?
Why did you give such a horrible punishment to your wife?
What is this unkindness? Why this punishment?
Tell me what crime and sin did l commit
Are you justified to punish me without telling me the reason?
Lakshmana! At least you tell me
Your crime was you were prisoner in Ravana's custody for a year
It was the complaint of the people
That's why, this punishment
You know I went through the chastity test, by fire
He said it was done in the kingdom of Lanka
People of Ayodhya refuse to accept that news
They said that a demon kidnapped you and this man accepted you as his queen
You are not eligible to be a queen
- Is the king believing this gossip? - No
Being a king, he had to do this without tarnishing the name of his dynasty
Lakshmana! I am his wife and a pregnant woman
Will your dynasty's fame increase if you leave me alone in this forest?
If he is the king, can't I be a queen?
Don't I have any responsibility?
Will I get a bad name for his dynasty?
Though I'm a sinner, if he had called me and ordered me
...after confiding this in me I'd have gladly jumped again into the fire
I can't bear these flames of insult which is hotter than the flames of fire!
I'd be better off dying by jumping into the water
Swear on me Swear on your future baby
Raghuvamsam flame which grows in your womb should flash
It should light hundreds of lamps
Won't this blame fostered on me affect my fetus?
How can I show my face to the people?
How can I answer them if they ask me why my husband abandoned me?
How can I live now?
You are the daughter of Earth which carries all the burden
You should prove the world that truth and justice will win someday
Like losing his heart,
Rama is in deep sorrow after parting from his wife
Can he live for a second without you?
You are right, l couldn't control my sorrow
I was harsh
It is the sin of my previous birth to be away and not serve him
I am born to suffer
I'm not destined to be happy
I can't bear this sight
...and I can't oppose my king's orders
Good bye
Sita! My dear child! Why are you suffering?
Your husband, was scared of being blamed and wished for fame
So he lost you He is an unlucky man
People of Ayodhya who blamed you are wretched
This earth can't bear such sinners
They'll suffer They'll suffer twice
Though Rama's brothers are praising Sita a pregnant lady, ready for fire test again
...to fulfill his duty as a king, Rama who abandoned Sita
...and believed the wicked words of his people, so I'll curse them
Mother!
Mother! Be calm
Mother! Don't curse my lord and my people
I can't endure it
Who is your lord? Is that cruel person your lord?
Is it Rama who ordered you to jump into the fire, taking the chastity test?
Is that wicked person who sent his pregnant wife to the forest your lord?
I can't keep quiet if you blame my husband, my lord
I don't care you if you deride him
Go away
You can't endure it if I blame your husband
I can't endure it if you feel sad
I give you my word I won't deride your husband
You come with me to my abode
If I come to my mother's home blamed by my in-laws
...it won't be good for you
After l beget the Raghuvamsa heir I have to unite him with my lord
And l have to handover my child to him
Then only I can come to your abode
Then I'll hide in your lap as your little child
A mother who begets a girl child should learn to endure
No one can change your fate Suffer it...endure it
Jai Sri Ram!
Oh sage!
Did you hear about this wonder? Have you seen this frightful scene?
Rama is in Ayodhya Sita is in the forest
Their personal problem is now known to all
Hanuman!
I felt very happy when my lord got coronated
I felt joyous that Sita reached the shore
I heard the news that Sita was blamed
What can I do to make Sita happy?
Then I crossed the searf and made them unite
What should I do for this act?
I can't oppose Sri Rama's orders
I can't find a way for this Advice me
Mother Sita's troubles have started again
So Sita and Rama's story is still going on
It'll be a happy ending Let good things happen
Have you come to serve your mother?
I don't have such luck
To console the mother, this is not kingdom of Lanka
To fight with him, he is not a demon
One side is Ramaiah And other side is Sitamma
With whom l can fight? And whom do I console?
I don't know what to do I need your advice
Rama's feet protect everyone
Be brave
With this tribal disguise, stay with mother in these hard times
Make her laugh and be happy with your songs and dance
That is your mission
If she feels happy the child will be healthy
Good luck! May you succeed
Greetings, mother!
Oh Goddess of the world! Tolerant Sita
I am Valmiki
By singing Sita-Rama's virtuous history, I wrote Sri Madga Ramayana epic
I felt very happy that I wrote the entire Ramayana
But I've understood now that it's an incomplete epic...
...and God's decision is different
Sita! Mother of world! Come to our hermitage and make us happy
Oh Sage! I am a married woman and now I've been blamed
Though I'm married I am an orphan
If I step into your virtuous soil...
This earth will flourish touched by the soles of your feet
Will my name and family background be kept a secret without other's knowledge?
You have many names No need worry about your name
You are the incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi
We'll call you Lakshmi Devi
Balaraju!
He is your servant
Consider him as your older son
His name is Balaraju
Balaraju...
Oh hunter child! Go to our hermitage in a second...
- Then - There...
- There! - He is a little fast
Son of the wind, makes things move fast
Listen dear! Go tell them that we must make a hut for Lakshmi Devi
Gurudeva is coming! Disciples! Come with me
Sages! Gurudeva is coming Come fast
Come ladies!
Come here for a minute!
You both come and clean the hut
You too join them
My lord! Mother is coming
Because of the good we have done she has come here as our companion
She is Lakshmi Devi
Her husband has gone far away on a divine mission
She'll stay in our hermitage until he returns
We must worship her as a Goddess, treat her as a friend
Auspicious events like bangle ceremony should happen happily
Welcome dear!
By this time, Mithila kingdom will be rejoicing with trumpets
Bangle ceremony of 3 daughters-in-laws will be conducted in pomp and splendor
But my eldest daughter-in-law was not fortunate
She wanted to stay in her husband's house But alas she was sent to the forest
Ayodhya has become dark with gloom
The bangle ceremony of Sita is happening in grandeur
Affection and happiness blossom... Earth and sky feel joyous
The kingdom of Kosala rejoices and plays melodious tunes
Full moon and spring together bring delight to everyone
Our Rama's beloved queen Sita is going to be a mother
The bangle ceremony of Sita is happening with pomp and splendor
Affection and happiness bloom... Earth and sky feel joyous
Women flock together and twirl the Morris-dance
...offering saris and gifts
He smiles, combs her hair tenderly ornates her fore-head with kumkum
He, her husband moves close to her
Women flock together and twirl the Morris-dance
...offering saris and gifts
He smiles, combs her hair tenderly ornates her fore-head with kumkum
He, her husband moves close to her
Kashmir sends baskets of saffron
And musk is sent from Karnataka
Despite Sita's refusal, three sister-in-law do not allow her to do any work
The bangle ceremony of Sita is happening in grandeur
Showering affection and happiness... Earth and sky feel joyous
Mother! Please come
With affection, your delivery will happen in your parent's home
Accept the turmeric and kumkum given by your husband's house
Chanting Rama's name echoes here Hearing it labour pain will vanish
With prayers of mother and mother-in-law mother and children will be safe
With blessings of married women all is well with you
Though you have kith and kin Now we are your relatives
Wherever you are, Rama protects yourf oh pretty lady!
Bangle ceremony of Devi brings high spirited joy
Shower of affection and happiness... fills the whole heart
Noble women offer camphor to this beautiful lady
While singing the Vedas, people in the hermitage bless her
Beget a son, as he getting all pleasures
Bangle ceremony of Devi brings immense cheer and bliss
Shower of affection and happiness... fills the whole heart
Greetings...greetings! I greet myself
Why are you greeting yourself?
What should I do, mother?
When l greet anyone they will bless me
They don't greet me
Are you laughing, mother?
Nice, If you laugh you are like my mother?
Shall I tell you a Gadha(mace) to make you laugh more?
It's Katha(Story), not Gadha(mace)
That's why I get angry
Before I tell a story you'll find faults
Okay, tell your story
After the coronation of king Rama, he got tired and went home
and everyone went home
...except Hanuman, he stayed behind
Although Rama went to the bed room, he went there and sat down
Everyone felt sleepy and yawned
But Hanuman didn't move away from there
Go to bed, Hanuman
Who will take care of the lord if I go from here?
I'll take care of him
The services what you and I do are different
He'll get up suddenly and complain of a headache...
...and ask me to get some herbs from Sanjeevini hill
Can you bring them?
I'll fly and bring them soon
- You can't do that - I see
My lord!
I can snap my fingers myself, Hanuman
Elders say it is a sin to snap for yourself when you yawn!
I should snap if you yawn
Then do one thing, Hanuman
Not in this room, go sit on that fort tower
You snap when your lord yawns everyone will listen
- You'll be blessed accordingly - Is it, mother?
Jai Sri Ram!
After sitting in the tower, Hanuman had a doubt
How will I know when Rama yawns?
He started to snap non-stop
There, Rama also got a doubt
Do you know what he did?
He too started to yawn without stopping
How do you know that he yawned there continuously?
I heard this story from Gurudeva
Move aside
Let us prepare ourselves by purifying from impure
by removing all the stresses
hindrance for learning through submitting one self to the divine
Mother! These twins are born in the most auspicious time, luck favors them
As they have been born in the hermitage I'll name them with equivalent names
I am separating this blade of grass into two
This part will be called Kusa(former), the other will be called Lava(latter)
They'll grow together as Kusa and Lava
My lord!
Hey, come on
You twins are like conch and wheel He protects you always
You are like flowers from Queen Sita's garden, she protects you always
If I tell Rama's story you'll love to listen
You'll sleep well listening to his deeds
They'll start crying If we stop telling his deeds
This is the King's elephant It's always trustworthy
This is the Queen Sita's elephant It'll obey you
Hail Rama...hail Lava Kusa
Hail Sita...hail Lava Kusa
Teacher is the form of Gods Brahma, Vishnu, Siva
...and Supreme God
We pay respects to that teacher
Victory to you
Dear children! Have you memorized Sri Madga Ramayana story
...that you heard from me?
- Have you understood it? - Yes Gurudeva
Is it a fictitious story or did it happen in real life?
Is there a great man like him in this world?
One day I asked the same question to Sage Narada
Who is in this world with great qualities?
Who in these days has good conduct?
One who speaks the truth always One who protects dharmas
One who is always grateful One who is brightest, like the Sun
One who looks after everyone with love One who is very kind
Who is it? Who is it?
Then Naradha answered me in this way
There is a person in this world as equal to the sound 'Omkaram'
There is a person praised by one and by all
Like a hunter, having great qualities
Like a friend, having good conduct
Like the Moonrf having a cheerful face
The truthful man on this earth...
...is Dasaratha's son, the kind personrf Janaki's husband
Sri Rama
He is the hero in our Ramayana story
Ramayanam means Rama+Ayanam
...the path taken by Rama
It means...the virtuous laws on how conduct ourselves
...what should we do and what we shouldn't
If we do not surrender to the wishes which take us to the wrong path
If we do not behave like animals and demons...
If the people in this world want to be happy...
This virtuous story tells us the laws and the civilized rules, we must follow
Tell me what you have learnt from the characters in the Ramayanam
King Dasaratha stands for his promise
Because of the boon he gave to his wife Kaikeyi,
...he sent his beloved son to the forest
He lost his life unable to bear that pain
It means even if we lose our life we should keep up our promise
- His son Rama - He always spoke the truth
One arrow, one word, one wife
To save his father's dignity, he sacrificed his kingdom
...went to the forest and suffered many troubles
It means...we should respect our parents always
Next Sita devi
She was a virtuous woman
When her husband was sent in exile, she abandoned her royal comforts
...and followed him as a shadow to the forest and shared his suffering
Though the demon Ravana abducted and imprisoned her in Lanka
Though he offered her the queen's status and even threatened to kill her
...she didn't change her mind
She looked down at that demon as grass to be trampled
She believed in Rama
She fasted, meditating only his name trusting that he'd come and save her
She overcame all trials and troubles and united with her husband
What about Ravana?
He got destroyed for desiring another's wife
Not only him, but also his kith and kin and kingdom got destroyed
Rama's story, we should learn the affection
...between father and son, husband and wife
...the love and respect amongst brothers
Lakshmana went to the forest to serve his brother
Though he was offered the kingdom, he rejected it and was Rama's servant
Those brothers are great We all must follow their path
You should spread this virtuous story worldwide
Elders, youngsters and everyone should listen to this story
You should sing and make them sing
Everyone should follow the path shown by Lord Rama
People must build a temple in their heart
Rama and Sita should worshiped there
They should live in their hearts
Sing one more time
Listen to the story of Sita Ram, the epic
...blessed by Gods that happened in front of you

Dasratha was a king of Ayodhya His virtuous wives were three
The king performed sacrifices to get children

Raghu dynasty was started to flourish happily
Listen to the story of Sita Ram, the epic
...blessed by Gods and that happened in front of you
See his Divine antics
King Dasaratha forgot time pass by his dear child, Rama was the apple of his eye
Sage Kausika came to his palace
And asked him to send Rama with him to protect his sacrifice
He taught Rama to use weapons He killed demoness Thaataki
The sacrifice was successful and the Sage felt happy
After that, the victorious Rama visited Mithila kingdom
The bow of Siva was displayed and the new bride stood aside
The guardian and protector, Rama was there
Feast to the eyes Rama's handsome face
Good luck favored him to make him taste victory
The handsome man took the bow broke it without difficulty
The bride, with garland moved towards him

Little warriors! You've learnt to use weapons which is a part of archery
I've taught you how to protect the country and punish your enemy
Now I'll teach you the remaining part, all about using elements
- Is it more powerful than learning about weapons? - Is it different?
People who have strength, and eye power will fight with help of weapons
Like arrow, sword, mace and spear
But elements have magical powers
In the education of elements wind, fire, water, air
...are used as weapons with magical powers
I'll teach you how to use all the magical weapons
Learn it
The is the Fire weapon, it emits flames and makes into ashes
The is the Water weapon, it rises like billows and submerges
This is the Wind weapon it swirlsrf moves fast and blows vigorously
This is the Brahma's weapon which will arrest whoever hides in any direction
These are the divine weapons
INTERMISSION
Son! You are not taking care of the people
...for whom you abandoned your beloved wife Sita
There is no peace and happiness either at home or the kingdom
Your sacrifice will have meaning only if you can rule with a free mind
Mother! Sage Vasishta has come
He wants to meet the king
Get up, Rama! Go and do your duty
Get up!
May you be happy in your married life
May you live long!
You are Ramarf the protector of dharmas
Even your enemy Maaricha praised you
Sage Viswamitra praised you that you are a sage beyond penance
Oh my lord! No one needs to advise you
You look like the Sun, swallowed by planet Rahu
Let your ill-fate perish
My brother should shine like the mid-day Sun
It is not affecting you alone but your whole kingdom
She is right
It is said that people follow the king's path
Your people are as much in gloom as you!
There's no peace, no pleasures and no happiness in the kingdom
People are suffering because of poverty
You are making the people suffer for whom you abandoned Sita
This path is not right for you
I've lost my beloved and virtuous wife
What else can I do?
If you get Lord Siva's blessings you'll overcome the troubles
Performing a sacrifice is the only way to regain peace and prosperity
Yes Rama, in the past, when your father and I did not have children...
our sage convinced us to perform a sacrificing to get children
Because of that sacrifice, we got Rama, Lakshmana, Bharatha and Shatrugna
And again today...
...they are wishing to perform 'Ashvamedha' for the happiness of our kingdom
Sage Vasishta consented
Sister! Because l've lost my wife, I'm not eligible to perform the sacrifice
- Don't you know that? - It's not a problem
If you consent...
...we can perform your 2nd marriage
Sister! I request you Never say that word again
Don't even say it in jest
This Rama will always be 'one woman one man'
Relax
Your sister had the welfare of the kingdom in mind
There is an option it doesn't trouble to your prayers
We can perform the sacrifice, with an idol of Sita made in silver
...and placing it in your wife's place
Yes Rama, it is approved by the laws
Listen to us! Go back
King is taking rest Stop here
Listen to us
My lord! King Rama!
My lord! Listen to our woes
Forgive our sins and faults
Forgive us, my lord
My dear people! There is nothing to forgive
Let it be good or bad, its my responsibility
If there is any fault it belongs to me
No, my lord! Not at all
We are to blame
All mistakes and blunders belong to us alone
Knowingly or unknowingly in ignorance
...we have sinned blaming our innocent queen!
- We are cursed - And suffering for our sins
We've lost happiness
Our lives have been destroyed after our mother, Sita left Ayodhya
We got punished for what we did
Forgive us and accept our repentance
Yes, my lord! Don't refuse, accept our apology
We heard that our mother queen Sita's image is being made as a doll
She'll visit our homes in this form
We heard that Sita's silver doll is getting ready for the sacrifice
Don't take gold from your king's treasury
Take all our gold and craft her idol
Make it beautiful
Fulfill our wish
We'll even lose our life for her sake
She will protect us and take care of all of us by blessing us
We'll obey you always
May you have a happy married life!
My lord! Forgive us
Lava Kusa! You yourselves asked what l wanted you to do
I wished that you should sing Valmiki's Ramayan in front of lord Rama
Meanwhile you asked me
May you be victorious and prosperous
I bless you to regain your glory that you rightfully deserve
Sage Bharadvaj will accompany you and show you the way to Ayodhya
Gurudeva! Won't you come with us?
You go
You are very brave You don't need my protection
Go bravely and reach your destination
You will meet with success and happiness
Mother of our world! Mahalakshmi!
You agree, right?
It is ill-fate that the king's sons are meeting their father as singers
Stop being playful Unite the family which is separated
Meet King Rama and get his blessings
Look at him on my behalf too!
- Don't be mischievous - We won't
- Don't quarrel with anyone - We won't
- Don't accept any gifts - We won't
- Don't stop being mischievous - We won't
Hear Ramayana, story of Lord Rama

Love and affection beyond compare
Every character with virtues so rare
Listen to Ramayana, story of Lord Rama
Listen to this epic, story of Lord Rama
Coronation of Lord Rama
Coronation of God Rama
Dasaratha prepared for the coronation of his son
The entire kingdom rejoiced with frolic and fun
Boons given to Kaikeyi brought troubles and tears
She cruelly sent Rama to the forest for 14 years
And he was sent on exile
And he willingly went with a smile
He set foot into the forest leaving his palatial house
His queen left the comforts accompanied her spouse
Respecting the King's words, he left, son, for the sake of his father
Wife for the sake of her husband Lakshmana, followed his brother
People protested and wept
Rama wanted the promise to be kept Sita his shadow, faithful wife
Lakshman went to share their strife
And Ayodhya was engulfed in gloom and despair
And Ayodhya was filled with darkness everywhere
Hear Ramayana, story of Lord Rama
Listen to Ramayana, story of God Rama
Madam! Greetings to you
What is the matter?
Some artistes are singing our Rama's story near Sri Parameswari temple
Rama's story!?
- What is that? - Yes mother, it is our Rama's story
Two children, not even 10 years old
Wearing anklets, dancing nicely, playing Tambura
And singing his story
I cried when I listened to it It was so nice
- Is it? Then bring them here - Okay madam!
Saga of Sita Rama
Legend of Sita Rama
If we recite the sacred chants our lives become pure
If we listen to the holy chants our sins vanish for sure
Every word is set to rhyme and rhythm
Four Vedas that emerge from it Our world happiness-anthem
Written by Sage Valmiki the great Sacred fable of God Incarnate
Rama stayed in the forest with his wife
With his brother to protect day and night
Forest rejoiced the endearing sight
Ravana's sister Soorpanaka fell in love with the noble Lord
He advised her to leave She crossed her limits and her guard
Lakshmana stepped in and cut her nose and ears
That demoness left angrily to complain to her brother with tears
Ravana appeared disguised as a beggar
Maaricha became a magic deer
Rama went after the deer to satisfy the wish of his wife dear
Ravana waited for the right moment abducted Sita as a punishment
He imprisoned Sita in Lanka, in the middle of the sea
with she-demons to guard her permanently
Tears from Sita's eyes overflowed
Hererf Rama's anguish multiplied
Calling out to Sita...Sita
Calling Sita...Sita...a mere echo
As his voice reached the sky Sita's husband in sorrow
Hanuman, made Rama befriend the monkey-king Sugreevarf
Crossed the sea, reached Lanka and met Sita
Showed Rama's ring as identity assured her of liberty
He burnt Lanka, got Sita's jewel to Rama as proof of his travel
From start to end he narrated all that he saw and how he retaliated!
Army of monkeys built tirelessly stone bridge to Lanka over the sea
Then war took place, Rama killed Ravana and his race
He reached Ashoka garden and set eyes on his wife
Rama, who faced many troubles to save Sita from all this strife
...as soon as Sita reached his side to walk on fire he did decide
Why did He behave in this way? For whom was this fire-play?
What was the reason for his action? To satisfy whose question?
Chastity test for Rama's wife, the flawless!?
Fire test for this Ayodhya princess!?
Virtuous test for daughter-in-law of Dasaratha!?
Fidelity test for daughter of king Janaka!?
To the soul of Rama or to the body of Sita
To Sun lineage or the world at large
For whom is this test my Lord? Why this test! Oh God!?
Lord Rama
It's enough Stop it
Mother
Go ahead, sing
Sita jumped into the fire in quiet dignity though disgraced
after knowing the truth the world felt ashamed
while the directions vibrated The fire God proclaimed
Sita is a Virtuous woman The world praised and acclaimed
Rama proved to the world Sita's purity
And returned to Ayodhya with his chaste lady
Returned, Rama along with Sita
Sri Rama...Rama Chanting His name makes us pure
His name conveys kindness, affection, courage for sure
Rama, accept please greetings of your devotees
Sumitra's beloved off-spring
Heir of Sun dynasty Husband of Janaki
We salute Thee for everything!
Dear children! Where do you live?
Where did you learn this Ramayana story?
Who is your master?
King! Valmiki is our master
He taught us
He enlightened us and wrote this epic
We are staying in the hermitage near Tamasa river
I see!
You are very young!
You've been in the hermitage long enough
You children! Stay with us in Ayodhya
And make us happy singing story of Rama everyday
- What about our mother? - Our mother cannot live alone without us
We have just come to meet you and get your blessing, King Rama
Now we won't stay here for a moment longer
How can children live here leaving their mother alone?
Yes brother!
All pleasures are fruitless if the children are not with their mother
Your mother who begot sons like you is virtuous
Seeing you and listening to your sweet voice
A new feeling, plays in my heart
My heart is not willing to bid farewell to you
But you have to go
It's okay
At least accept our gifts and jewels
We live in the hermitage We don't need jewels
My master won't accept it
Our mother warned us not to accept gifts from anyone
- All we should do is meet Rama - Our lives will be blessed
Only one thing remains
Ask me without hesitation
We need our mother
We want to see mother Sita
Like Siva Parvathy, Sita and Rama are one
We got to see only one half
It is our wish to see Sita Rama together and get their blessings
- Our lives will be fulfilled - Our mother will be happy and rejoice
My lord!
Mother! He is walking away with a grim face
Is he angry with us?
Shouldn't we see 'mother Sita'? is it because, we are from forest?
Forests are not familiar to him
He was also exiled in the forest
Have we sinned?
When a sinner's brother sought his help he protected him
He is very kind, even if Ravana seeks his help he will forgive him
Why mother? Why did he get angry?
What sin did we commit?
It is not your sin It is our ill-fate
It is not possible for you to see Sita
- She is not here - Why?
Where would she go, without living with him?
- Somewhere, may be in the forest - Forest!?
Yes, in the forest
We sent our Sita out because someone blamed her
We abandoned a pregnant lady considering it as a king's duty
It is our fate We are unlucky
Hari...Hari
- Terrible... - Atrocious
Is Rama such a cruel man?
Did he send his wife who believed in him to the forest?
Our master wrote the Ramayana Is it for this cruel person?
He must have been aware of this too
Come, let's banish this king and his kingdom
Come, let's go
Mother! The brothers are returning
Why do you look like that?
Are you tired?
May be you roamed a lot?
Drink this water
Have you seen Rama?
Is he fine?
Of course, he is very happy
He is alone happy but rest of the family is sad
Why do you say that?
Don't ask me anything
He is a king for name sake
But his mind is like a demon
We went there with great joy prayed to him with devotion
We sang the story with love
At last we knew that he abandoned his wife for the sake of his kingdom
We knew that he was very cruel and sent his pregnant wife to the forest
How could he do that?
We got angry when we knew that
How could he do such an atrocity to his wife?
So pitiful! How much Sita was traumatized by his deed?!
Would she become a prey to any animal?
Don't say like that Don't blame him
His path is virtuous path
His heart is very kind
Mother! Without knowing the truth don't glorify him
We can't bear to hear you praise him
Hereafter we won't chant his name
We don't sing Ramayana story
By chanting his name don't bring dishonesty to this hermitage
Children! Stop it
Stop blabbering
Punish yourself
Whom, all Gods and sages praise as THE Supreme God...
...chanting His name makes sins disappear
Don't blame that Supreme God and reap more sins
You don't have any right to blame him or chant his name
Whatever you have learnt will turn to ashes
Go away
Don't show me your faces
Rama...Rama
Calling Rama...Rama
Everyone in the assembly is seeking Him
Child Rama walks silently
Calling Rama...Rama Everyone in the assembly is seeking Him
Child Rama walks silently
King's Assembly... Handsome child Rama
Delivers sweet talk... captivating all with his charm
Can't control his mischievous streak He makes everyone happy
And Sage Vasishta likes the naughty streak of child Rama
Calling Rama...Rama everyone in the assembly adore him
Child Rama walks silently
With his arrow he draws monkey images in the hall
Diamond ring he throws at the crow
He eats the fruit bitten by Sabari
And he feeds the dates to the squirrel
Behind the tree he hides and makes the bridge with stones
Their parents like his mischievousness
And cuddle him with affectionate kisses
Rama...Rama
Calling Rama...Rama
everyone in the king's hall seek him
Child Rama walks by quietly
He skips food and climbs up the stairs
And spills rosewater in the gold vessel on the earth
An adamant child he is, and asks for the Moon
He hides the moon in his pocket that is reflected in the mirror
Such a naughty kid was Rama in his childhood
He was very impish
You are our mother and father
We'll never cross our limits Forgive our mistakes
Rama...Rama
Calling Rama...Rama
everyone in the king's hall adore him
Child Rama walks silently
- Our greetings to Sage Valmiki - May God bless you
Who are you?
We are ambassadors of Ayodhya king Rama
King has decided to perform the Ashwamedha sacrifice...
...for welfare of his people and his kingdom
Sacrifice!?
Has the king Rama decided to perform the sacrifice?
Yes, sage
Including Sage Vasishta, all the elders of the kingdom have consented
Is it? Let his wish get fulfilled
Convey my best wishes to him for the sacrifice
Not only your wishes, he needs your blessings too
It means he invited you and your disciples to the sacrificial venue
...and asked you to bless it
Certainly
Everyone will obey the words of Sri Rama
Tell him that we'll come there after checking the auspicious time
We take leave, Sage
- Sage - What mother?
Can any king perform the sacrifice without his wife's company?
It is a sin, mother It is prohibited
No sacrifice should be done without the wife's presence
Oh Sun God, well versed in all vedas
- Greetings mother! - What dear?
What do you want? Do you want flowers?
The saviour of world...
- I have a divine doubt - Ask me, dear!
Has anyone done a sacrifice without his wife's presence?
No, it is impossible No law will accept it
If the 1st wife is dead, he can remarry
...and perform the sacrifice with his 2nd wife
There is no option
Sita...my beloved wife
As a king, I've saved my kingdom's honour but l've abandoned you
No punishment is enough for this sin
There is no repentance for this great sin
Though I've abandoned you, you are still with me
You are living in my heart
I remember you always
Your glowing smile... Your ethereal beauty...
And the scent from you...
This scent is only from of my Sita
Moon dot!
Someone has put the dot on this golden idol
Who could it be other than Sita?
Others can't adorn it
Has Sita come here? Is she here?
Is it my dream or reality? Or illusion?
Sita, where are you?
Why do you play with me?
Sita...Sita
What a pleasant touch!
What a great aroma!
This is my Sita It is her hand that's touching me
Sita, don't leave me Don't go away
You came just now and disappeared soon
Why do you play with me? Why this hide and seek?
Sita, I am stone-heart But you are very kind
Daughter of Goddess Mother earth
Forgiving others is your natural conduct
Bless me Forgive me
Mother! Have you seen the real character of one who speaks the truth
...and the saviour of dharma, Sri Rama?
One word...one arrow...one wife
- This is the Veda of Sri Rama - I've understood, Sage
I've seen the glorious image of my lord and I felt happy
I'll tell you a wonderful incident of Rama's natural character
After killing demon Ravana, Rama was resting on a stone
He noticed a shadow approaching him
He realised it was a shadow of a woman
To avoid touching that shadow, he lifted up his legs
Oh king Rama! I am Mandodhari, the wife of demon king Ravana
My husband, known for his penance, is blessed by lord Siva and born to win
I have come to see the brave man who could kill my husband
Not only I've seen you, but also l've understood your character
I know now, the one who didn't touch even the shadow of another's wife...
...only he can kill my husband who desired another's wife
Oh chivalrous Rama! I salute you
I too foolishly, and in anger suspected that he remarried someone
I distrusted him
I sinned I thought ill of him
I have sinned knowingly and completely
There is no forgiveness for me, sage
Advice me I can't bear this pain
Mother! Anger, error and suspicions are common for human beings
Should learn from our mistakes...
...and confess to God
That is real repentance
That is not enough
I want to be purified by fire
Don't be hasty
Fine, because you are obsessing
...I'll give you a solution
Fast to Sri Lalithambika, Goddess of the world!
Thank you, sage
Mother! I caution you
This fasting should be performed with utmost devotion
You should worship the Goddess with 100 sacred lotuses for 1 1 nights
It is an important rule and be on your guard
From the day you start the fasting and till you complete it...
...you shouldn't stop mid way
Whatever trouble may befall you shouldn't stop fasting
Certainly
I'll fast with total devotion with my husband's grace and your blessings
But you asked me to fast with 100 sacred lotuses...
How can I get those flowers in this forest?
I know where to find them, mother! I can get it for you
How can you!?
Mother! I know all the mountains, rivers, canals, and ponds around here
I know all flowers and trees, mother
I'll bring the fresh flowers I'll fly and bring them
Yes mother! Our Balaraj is strong
However far it may be, he can fly and bring them
- Mother! We'll also go with him - Children, Kusa Lava!
You have other responsibilities
It is the time for me to meditate
Until I return, you guard your mother, her pooja and the hermitage
We'll do as you say
The king of Ayodhya with golden doll of Sita
Sri Rama who performs Ashwamedha sacrifice is now starting with this horse
The horse that has a flag of Ishvaku dynasty with symbol of a tree...
...will roam around the sky and in all directions freely
Wherever the horse runs, the place becomes gifted land to Ayodhya
The gifted land's protection and welfare is Ayodhya king's responsibility
If anyone stops or ties this horse
Army of Ayodhya will wage a war and capture their city
Sri Rama's brother, Prince Lakshmana will command this journey
Hail Sri Rama Hail Sita
Victory to Rama
Victory to Lakshmana
Mother! What about us?
Keep that basket aside Those flowers also
Hey, look there!
Oh, it is a horse decorated with jewels and a crown
It seems like a horse of a royal nature
- It should be called a divine horse - No, it's some ordinary horse
It is neither divine nor ordinary horse It seems like a donkey
It is trampling on our fruits and flowers
Stop
Hey, stop
Brother! Try to tie it
It is an arrogant horse Let's tie it to a tree
It has spoilt our fruits and flowers
Let the owner come We'll reprimand him
Even if the owner is someone great how did he allowed this?
Brother! Look at this
Something is written on its face
- It seems like king's orders - Oh God! This is some king's horse
- It reads 'King of Ayodhya' - That means it is Rama's horse
Wherever this horse steps, the land will belong to Rama's kingdom
- Will we become slaves to him? - No, we won't
We know archery We are brave and courageous
Nothing to be afraid of
- What if they ask us to release it ... - We'll refuse to release it
We'll refuse to untie the horse
It is a great mistake to disobey Rama's words
Not just a mistake, it is a sin also
We have learnt in Ramayana that he is the protector of dharma
What we learnt is different from reality
When Ravana came as a beggar even Sita thought he was a good man
- But he was not like that - He abducted her
Like you, we also thought that Rama was a great person
After we went to Ayodhya, we realized that he was not noble
He has cruelly abandoned his wife
If we tie this horse, he'll come here himself
You can see his real character then
- What if he gets angry...? - We aren't scared of his anger
We are brave and courageous
There are no brave people like us in this world
There are no brave people like us...
- What if mother knows about it... - No, don't tell her
- She'll get angry - Okay
- Promise me - We swear
My lord!
This is the way Horse is over there
Then, go and bring the horse
I couldn't bring it Someone has tied it
You mean our sacred horse!? Who are those idiots?
Who are those arrogant men?
They are not warriors Some sage's children
Were you afraid of them?
- Chief commander! - Yes, my lord!
Go and warn the children and bring back the horse
Okay, my lord
Look, sacred horse is over there
Who dared to do this?
My lord!
My lord! Save us
You arrogant boys!
You coward!
If you have guts, come face to face
Oh! Was it you who tied up our sacred horse?
Yes, we did
Do you know whose horse this is?
The victorious Rama's horse
- I am his brother Lakshmana - Greetings to you
Do you know who he is?
He is the brave man who cut a girl's ears and nose in the forest
Not only that...
Though his sister-in-law was like a mother to him...
This brave man abandoned that pregnant lady alone in the forest
Younger brother and the elder brother
They make a perfect pair
In the past Rama left his throne and went to the forest
...to obey his father's words
Now he abandoned his wife for the sake of kingdom
Good! Excellent!
Hey young boys!
Without knowing anything, don't talk as you wish
If you are angry, mock at me
If you blame Rama, I won't keep quiet
He married Sita, agreed solemnly but he betrayed her
We won't keep quiet for that
Stop talking rubbish
- Brother, he is sending fire flames - Let's pour water upon it
Our arrows of water will answer his arrow of fire
Brother, why should we fight with him?
Waste of time
- Let's make him faint - Yes, Rama will come here himself
Rama, are you going to punish those small boys?
Who else there other than me can punish those boys who made Lakshmana faint?
May be it's impossible, but you must believe it
Mother, bless me
Son, victory to you Let goodness prevail
Go carefully
Brother, look at the chariot He is coming
Sri Rama!
What a bright halo!
He resembles Lord Vishnu
1st let us greet him
Later let's ask his explanation for all that he did
We don't care whether it is Rama or God
That arrow conveys our greeting
May God bless you a long life
This arrow conveys our refusal
What is that?
You have come to our place we paid our respect for that
But we won't leave the horse That's why this refusal
Dear children! Weren't you the ones who sung Rama's story in Ayodhya?
Affection surges within me when I see you
No! We don't need that We don't want your affection
Save us from the burden of your affection
Save us
Why do you say that?
The emperor, you made Sita go through a fire-test
...we are afraid of your affection
Though your wife was pregnant, you sent her to the forest cruelly
...We don't want your kindness - We don't want
Knowingly or unknowingly if you blame me...
...I won't be angry with you
You seem to be very brave, courageous and knowledgeable
You are not the sage's children
We haven't said we are
Dear children! Who are your parents?
Why do you need details when you've come to wage a war?
Why should you need our birth details?
Be calm
Don't try to bond with us
You are often calling us sons Are you our father?
When l rule the kingdom of Ayodhya, my subjects becomes my children
- This is not Ayodhya - This is a forest
You are neither our father nor our king
You are not ordinary children
Are you Brahma and Siva who have come to test my patience?
No need for Brahma and Siva to come for this horse
Ordinary children like us are enough
- Let go of the sacred horse - We won't untie it
You can try to get it back, if you can
Or if you have guts
- Don't ask or beg us - Fight and win
- Take the bow - Send the arrow
I don't fight against children and women
He fought against Thataki (she-demon) Did he forget that?
- Sita Rama! - Janaki Rama!
Jagadhabi Rama!
It seems some magic power
I have to win over it
You brave children! I've understood that you've been taught to use weapons
...including magical powers
It is the 1st lesson in the war-fare to know about the enemy's strength
The arrow which killed demons Ravana, Kumbakarna,...etc
...which has no opponent in 14 worlds
...which has more power than Brahmaastram
...the victorious arrow
Don't you know that is the arrow of Rama?
Don't you know that victory and defeats are not in the hands of human?
Don't you know that?
Oh mother Sita!
Mother!
Hanuman! What is this? Where did you come from?
What has happened?
Mother, the inevitable disaster is about to happen
War between father and sons
Come fast
Mother! You shouldn't move from the altar ...and shouldn't stop worshiping
War between Rama and Lava Kusa
You have to come fast and stop that
Mother, stop! Don't go
Fasting should be stopped
It will be a sin to the Goddess
It is humiliation...bad omen...misfortune
What can be more of a bad omen and misfortune than this?
One side is husband and other side are sons
This side, arrow of Rama and that side Rama's beloved sons
Oh goddess Kanchayani! Goddess of the world!
Please forgive my sins and protect me
Mother! Don't delay Danger is nearing us
Sri Rama! Saviour of world!
You should save your scions from this peril
Protect me and my sons
Not only for me and us...
Need peace for 3 celestial worlds and 14 worlds
Show your kindness Bless us
Sri Rama! Saviour of world! Save us
Do you realize what a big blunder you were about to commit now?
How can you shoot arrows at your own father?
Mother, is he our father?
Sita...
My beloved wife!
Mother, are you mother Janaki and mother Sita?
Are you our mother, Mahalakshmi?
Father! Forgive us
The pleasure of caressing my children...
...warm embraces of my children...
You offered this to me only now
I am very happy
Father, bear what we did with stupidity and arrogance
Forgive us our sins what we did unknowingly
They are not your sins and faults
You are greater than your father
I feel very happy
Mother! Greetings!
After a long time I got a chance to meet you
Janaki devi, your prayers got fulfilled now
Oh my well-wisher! I came here full of sorrow
You performed my bangle ceremony and took care my delivery...
And looked after me and my sons
Oh Hermit! Father!
I am very thankful to you
Because of your kindness, my fasting and my duty in this world...
...have both come to end
Why are you saying so, Mother? There are many duties you must do
As wife of Sri Rama... As queen of Ayodhya...
- Under your rule... - No dear!
I don't have any wish for myself
This life that I lived is enough for me
I am born to the Goddess of earth...
and have entered in to your Raghu dynasty
Because of me, without bringing any dishonesty to my parents and in-laws
...my life is now enriched after I handed your scions over to you
I take leave now
Oh Sri Rama!
No mother! No
Let Lava Kusa rule Rama's kingdom
Let Hanuma get Rama's devotion
Let the world be happy
Oh Goddess of earth!
I refused to come to you when you called me that day
Now I am coming happily
I, by body, mind and heart...
If I am an innocent wife only to my beloved Sri Rama...
Oh Goddess! Take me to your lap
Mother!
Mother Janaki!
Mother!
Rama, be calm
You are the Saviour of our world!
You shouldn't worry
Be calm
Let the world be filled with prosperity and plenty!
