Sri Rama - part 2 (Epic Characters of Ramayana) (ePub)

After all the four weddings, Rama, his brothers and parents went to Ayodhya. On the way they met Parasurama who acknowledged that Rama was superior to him. Rama's coronation was stalled as Kaikeyi demanded Dasharatha to send Rama to the forest and anoint Bharatha king of Ayodhya. The king, Kausalya and many others were shocked. In spite of leading a sheltered life, Sita pledged her support to her husband. Lakshmana also joined them and together they left for the forest, reached Chitrakoota and later on they moved to Panchavati. It was here that Ravana cheated Rama and Lakshmana and abducted Sita. Lakshmana and Rama took the help of the vanaras, particularly Hanuman, killed Ravana and finally got back Sita. When challenged, Sita proved to Rama that she was as pure as ever. Everyone then proceeded to Ayodhya and Rama was crowned king. When some people again started doubting Sita's fidelity, Rama sent her away to the forest. Sita was pregnant then and Valmiki took her under his care. By and by she gave birth to twin boys. When the sage asked Rama to accept her vouching for her purity as well, Rama again asked her to prove it to the people of Ayodhya. Sita prayed to Bhoomidevi who came and took her away. Sri Rama crowned Lava and Kusha kings and as desired by Brahmadeva, went back to his abode by entering the river Sarayu. The object of his incarnation was fulfilled.
