JULY31: VANARAS REACH THE OCEAN

Part1: swayamprabha narrates her story

Trijata informs Sita that queen mother is coming to meet her. Soon Kekashi arrives. Kekashi stares at this outstanding beauty while sita pays her respect. Kekashi is really surprised to see that sita offers her pranam and she asks:

Knowing that I am the mother of Dasanan, still you are offering me pranam?

S: but I am offering my homage to a mother.

But you are not gratifying me with your blessing mother.

Kekashi brings herself back to reality and blesses Sita: be fortunate.

S: my good fortune means misfortune for your daughters in law and grand daughters in law and all your children of lanka. Soon my husband will come to take me away and he will not leave anyone for the sins they have committed, the sings they have not stopped from being committed.

Kekashi gets surprised and angry at the straight cut remarks of Sita

S: please do not be angry. The root of all this evil is your son ravan.. he is the reason for all the upcoming misfortunes of the women folk of lanka, he and his lust and untold outrages and his assaults on women to prove his man hood.

K: Mandodary was right, you are indeed a firebrand

S: a man gets good manners from women who teach them as mother, wife, sister, daughter, sisters in law. But Ravan has not learnt anything from his family. No woman in his family has ever stopped him

K: you are right. A mother is the one who teaches his son good manners and lessons. It?s me who planted the seeds of jealousy and anger in my son, its me who is ripping the seeds of it. Let women in future learn from me what a mother should never be. I am bad mother, let no mother be like Kekashi.

Inside the huge cave, the serene saint lady chats with the army of vanaras.

She narrates them the history of this wonderful cave.

This wonderful garden place was constructed by the engineer of Danavas, Moy , who is compared to the engineer of gods Viswakarma for his architectural designs.

Once the wife of king of Gandharvas, Chitrasen , lady hema came here. Moy cast his lusty eyes on her. So Devraj indra banished Moy from this place with the help of his Bajra. This place was given to Hema.

I am a Gandharvi, SWAYAMPRABHA is my name. I worship Lord Narayan here and take care of this place. No one, who has dared to enter this place have ever left this place. But you serve Prabhu Shree Ram, I will not only let you go but I will help you.

Jambuban , Hanuman and Angad narrate her how helplessly they r looking for mother Sita, but they cannot find her anywhere.

Swayamprabha:

I will help you to get out of this cave. Close your eyes, all of you. I , with my special power will transport you all. She with her power transports the whole army of soldiers.

Ram is standing, worried, looking at the pathway. Laxman comes to fetch him. Ram is inconsolable.

R: no sign of hanuman or anyone, no news of them from south. What will sita be thinking. She is depending on her Ram to come and rescue her and here I am, just bidding my time and worthlessly sitting down. Even hanuman is not coming .

L: please come down brother, seeing you like this makes me feel sad. I tend to blame myself. Had I listened to you, not listened to her, had I not left her alone, who knows what would have happened. Never would anyone dare to abduct my sister.

R: we cannot do anything brother. We are mere puppets in hand of destiny. The way she makes us dance we dance.

Part2: Vanaras reach the ocean, Ravan-Kekashi face off

All the monkeys are transported to the seaside. Swayamprabha asks them to open their eyes:

Here is the great Indian Ocean. Now you are only a sea distant from reaching mother Sita. Lanka is just on the other side o the ocean. To reach her, you have to cross the ocean anyhow. My blessings with you.

All the vanaras look at the vast extent of water with awe. Jambuban is the first one to break silence.

J: we got out alright, but how r we going to cross the sea and find mother

Hanuman is also apprehensive but there is something which keeps tickling in his mind.

Nal speaks out: already the one month deadline is over. Now we cannot even return to lord Sugreeb without any fruitful news. What to do now?

Back in lanka, Kekashi is coming towards Ravan.

R: mother, the whole world bows to the great ravan and I am bowing to you.

K: you have so much respect for me.

R: yes mother, I can cut my 10 heads and offer them to you

K: I do not need that son.

R: what do you need?

K: I need sita

K: no I am not playing any games, I just want you to send sita back to her husband. She is fire, she will destroy the whole of lanka, return her please.

R: mother now you are being a woman of politics and teaching me lessons. Stop playing games with words.

K: this is for your own good, for the welfare of lanka and every one of you

R: mother! That day when you first taught me to be jealous, to attack Kuber, you said the same thing, its all for the best of lanka, all for the best of you, and now see where you have taken me.

The two have war of words with each other. At last Kekashi says: please Ravan! Stop being such a fool, return Sita, turn back before there is no way left to turn back

R(pain in his voice)

The first lessons of hatred, jealousy and evil, you yourself closed the door to return. Why repent now?

I followed your lessons, made my conquests, I moved forward, fast and fast and took the race of rakshashas with me, and in doing so, the son you had, your eldest son Ravan got lost somewhere.

Now the person standing in front of me is TRILOKVIJAYI LANKESH RAVAN. He knows that if you do not get anything by right, snatch it, grab it, it was taught by you only mother.

Sita will now never leave lanka. Sita will belong to ravan till end. there is no going back.

With silent tears, Kekashi stares on

Part3: ram cannot wait any more

Shurpanakha comes running to Sita,s creaming that she has dared to abuse her mother. Well sita cannot tolerate this one

S: you got your nose cut, still you are that much ingonrant and abusive. Go back and ask: who humiliated your mother: me or you? Me or the sinful brother of yours?

Your brother thinks all women are objects of lust, he assaults them, and every time he does so, he assaults his mother, go back. I have been taught how to respect elders, and I did respect your mother, but ask her how can she blacken the name of women race by giving birth to a daughter like you?

Ram is eager to reach seaside, he cannot wait a moment. Laxman tries to reason with him

L: it's such a long distance, what if we start from here and hanuman ji starts from there with sisters news? Besides we already knew Ravan lives somewhere near south, the news of the messenger just confirms it that's all. We have to wait and have patience till hauman brings some concrete information. give him some time.

Ram, with sad eyes, exclaims:

Time is the only thing we do not have, it just keeps slipping out of hand like water.

WELL SAID RUPALIP AND GREAT WORK TAN.

U GUYS ARE WORKING VERY VERY VERY VERY HARD.

MY BIG PRANAAAAAAAAAAAAM TO ALL RAMAYAN MEMBERS.
