DOTW- Pains and Sacrifices in Ramayana

Most of the parts of Ramayan are just synonymous to these words'.

Write from starting'.one could see how these two emotions flow in Ramayana the Great Epic'

If we take it from Start'..

It starts with the pain of King Dhashratha and his wives'..the Great king who had every pleasure 'but'still sad with the fact that he is child less..

And as the thing moves on'..whole epic seems to be in grip of these words.

Even the lord himself could not escape.. from this..

The Manka 108 of Ramayan even start with these lines

BHEED PADI PRABHU BHAKT PUKARE DHOOR KARO PRABHU DUKH HAMARE, DASHRATH KAY GHAR JANME RAM'

In Ramayan Lord Himself portrayed the sufferings which Human goes through...and here by showing the way to Human Race...to cope up with any kind of harsh situation...

In a way Ramayan is a Great Example Setter How to live a life'.

In Bhaghwath Purana...it is said that we can't follow Krishnaji and Shivji.. that how to live a life'but when in come to Lord Rama he is a perfect one to guide us the way of live life'

He as Human Being portrayed the pains and sacrifices.. so well..and it can be feel from these examples very well.

Sacrifice of Throne- To fulfill his Father's wish he sacrifice. the whole kingdom and accepted the exile of 14 years Happily

Pain of Rishi Munis- When he saw the bones of Sages whom Demons have killed.

He could not stop his tears and take the vow of killing all the Rakshas.

Virah of Sita's Abduction- As a caring, dutiful Husband he bear the pain of sepration from wife.By this Virah of Lord Rama' Godess Gauri carried away so much that she doubted whether he is a God himself or any other normal Human Being.

Caring Brother- When Lakshman got unconscious during war against Inderjeet. Rama cried helplessly for his brother. Depicting the picture that even God can be helpless when he has to portrait as Human Being' In a way of guiding that we cannot be as supreme..from God what ever the heights of success we achieve. All the arrogance and pride of Human Being can get dissolved some of the harsh situation of life.

Sita's Banishment- As a dutiful King he needs to Banish His wife. For whom he fought against the greatest devil of earth, need to sacrifice her as a duty of King towards his subject. king's duty overpowers the suffering of husband .A perfect example for the people for their attitude and aptitude towards the responsibility and duty of life.

Not only Lord others character of Ramayan like Sita, Dashrath, Bharat, Lakshman, Hanuman and many other characters are great exemplary of the emotions....
The pain they suffered and sacrifices they have been through are portrayed so well by Valmikiji in the epic Ramayan....that they actually embellish the great Epic...
Ppl..are so emotionally attached with this epic that many Versions of Ramayana can be seen by other Great poets in different time periods

I hope we will discuss the various sacrifice and pains which all The Ramayan characters has been through... and could analyze them which gonna help us understand the depth of Ramayan even better.

Personally for me Ramayn is a pool of emotions which no other Epic has... i really love tro discuss on particular subject of Ramayan...thanks Sita for suggesting it as DOTW

I like this DOTW!!! It's quite different in its aspect. Personally I feel u r correct about the Bhagawad Purana vs. Ramayana....but one should also take into consideration the different Yugs Lords Vishnu took birth in for us to consider the ways of life to be followed by humans!!!! But even in the Bhagavad Gita....Shri Krishna tells us that two wrongs will not make a right...but if there is being done wrong to you or any1, where your rights are taken away, take action against that wrong!! And that was in Dwarpa Yug....He did not teach them to sacrifice!!!!! Basically an EYE FOR AN EYE situation...

If in Treta yug he took as Lord Ram...he had many followers & believers that Ram was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu...from his subjects to his family, Rushi Munis..& even after some time Rakshas family also became aware of HIS being as the Lord himself.....Now if we consider the Dwarapa yug...Shri Krishna had many followers but just as many ppl who did not beleive HE was the LORd....for ex. Duryodhan & his brothers!!!!!! So as time goes by it does get worse....which we as the Kal Yug genre can admit without hesitating!!!! Even in the last Ramayan...when Ramji is shown to assume his True Form....he tells Hanumanji that he shall reside on earth till the end of Kal Yug since times will get harsh & devotees will even have a hard time following the virtuous path.....& further on goes to state that Hanumanji will be here to support the true devotees & basically guide us that just by doint THE LORD's Jaap...we can attain true salvation (more so b/c times are bad for us then it was during Treta & Dwarpa yug).....

wow !!!! what a wonderful post sam !!!👏

Ramayn is the most emotional story ever written n full of sacrifices n pain for Dharma sake. thus it teaches us to not to fear pain n not to do any Adharma to avoid hardhships. We cant follow Ramayan in toto becos we r human beings n human beings r not perfect. But Ramayn gives us inpiration to be unselfish

I definately come again with my POV
