Bharata and Satrugna return from their journey and learn of the sad events.
Satrugna punishes Manthara by beating her, and Bharata restrains him.
Bharata is very disappointed with his mother and vows never to call her again. He refuses to be king in Rama’s place.
Bharata goes in search of Rama with all the family and subjects of Ayodya.
Bharata’s prema is like an ocean and Rama is like a mountain firm in his vow.
Taking Rama’s sandals on his head and placing them on the throne of Ayodya, Bharata tells Rama that if He does not return at the exact end of the 14 years, he will kill himself.
Srila Gurudeva Narayana Gosvami Maharaja appeared on amavasya and departed on navami, 29 December 2010.
The problems of lockdown and coronavirus times
Birth and death are not in our hands, we just have to tolerate them, because Krsna is our protector. Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Kahiye… Chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra.
Bharata stayed in Nandigrama, not in the palace.
Rama followed the journey, he was in front, Sita in the middle and Laksmana behind.
In Vedic culture, the wife does not call her husband by his name, nor the children by their father’s name.
The influence of western culture in India, Indians are gradually abandoning Vedic culture, so is the influence of Kali.
Laksmana speaks harsh words against his father for giving in to Kaikeyi’s pressure, and Rama becomes very angry with him.
In fact, it was Rama who asked Kaikeyi in a dream to seek Dasharatha’s blessing at his coronation so that He could perform His lilas.
Ravana kidnapped chaya-Sita and even Laksmana didn’t know about it.
Original Sita-devi enters the fire and goes to Shiva Loka to stay with Parvati-devi and chaya-Sita appears.
Surpanakha convinces Ravana to kidnap Sita to take revenge on Ravana for killing her husband. She understood that only Rama/Vishnu could kill Ravana.
Laksmana-rekha (the circle He marks on the ground) was made with Rama’s name.
Chaya-Sita’s behaviour is very different from that of the original Sita-devi. Chaya-Sita (Vedavati) did not have the sweetness of Sita-devi as she used harsh words in many situations.
Nitai is akrodha-paramananda!
Chaya-Sita went to Svargaloka and Rama told her that she would help him in his krsna-lila in the form of Draupadi (Chaya-Sita), says the Brahma-vaivarta Purana.
