STORY OF RAMAYANA

Rama was the virtuous eldest son of Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya. Dasharatha was
born in the line of Ikshvaku ("the first king of the Ikshvaku dynasty and founder of
the Solar Dynasty of Kshatriyas in Vedic civilization in ancient India"). Born to
Kaushalya, the chief queen of Dasharatha, he automatically became the crown
prince. He deeply loved his half brothers, the twins Laxmana and Shatrughana,
born to queen Sumitra, and Bharatha, born to queen, Kaikeyi. The family guru,
Vashistha taught them all the art of arms. When Rama was sixteen, on the request
of the great Vishwamitra, Dasharatha sent Rama and Lakshmana to the forest to
defend Vishwamitra's rituals from vicious demons which they devotedly
performed.
At the swayamvara of Sita the princes of Mithila, Rama won the hands of her by
breaking the bow of Lord Shiva with the blessings of Vishwamitra. The aging
King Dasaradha decided to crown Rama as king. Queen Kaikeyi grew envious and
by virtue of the old promises that Dasharatha had made, made Rama go to the
forest in exile for fourteen years. Both Sita and Laxmana accompanied Rama to the
forest.

In the meantime the grieved Dasharatha died. Rama lived in a small hut with Sita
and Lakshmana in Panchavati in the Dandakavana. Ravana, the mighty king of
Lanka, under the ill- gotton advices of his sister Surpanaga, kidnapped Sita to
Lanka. Rama and Laxmana in their attempt to rescue her, met with so many
hardships and with the help of their friends like monkey- king Sugriva, Hanuman
and along with Sugriva's army invaded Lanka. After Ravana lost all his men
including his brothers and son he himself came to battlefield. Insppite of the deadly
weapons he used against Rama and Laxmana but none of them could hurt them
because they had truth and justice on their side. At last Ravana was killed and
Rama and Sita were reunited. After the expiry of 14 years of exile Rama along
with Sita and Laxman returned to Ayodhya. The whole of Ayodhya became
jubilant. On an auspicious day Rama was crowned the king of Ayodhya.
