Thanks Chen2chic and Khalrika.

Ananya, would try to post the lyrics as soon as possible. Probably by Saturday or so. The next two days, I am caught up with floods of pending stuff. 😭 😭 😭

Take ur time Vibs , no hurry at all 😊

You're welcome.😊 It's the same with me for Tamil. I can understand bits of it, but am in no way proficient in it.

And thanks. I love your siggie too. The pic of Gurmeet is nice and the words on it are cool. DId you come up with it?

The idea was mine but the lines are from Griffith's translation of Valmiki Ramayan to English verse.

Hey Valmiki Ramayan experts. Can you guys clarify for me the agni pariksha of Sita on why it happened. Did valmiki write about chayya sita versus real sita kept by agni dev. or wast that said afterwards to justfy's ram's behavior. Ok if that is true then when did Ram know that Sita might be kidnapped, I mean when does he get the power to see the future.

In Valmiki Ramayan, there is no Chaya Sita concept. It is the real Sita that is kidnapped. The Chaya Sita concept is only written in Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas. In Valmiki Ramayan, after Sita is brought before Rama, Rama says that Sita is free to go where she feels like and he only fought the war to reclaim the honor of the Raghukul. Hurt by his words, Sita orders Lakshman to make a fire. After Lakshman does so, Sita vows that she never knew any other man than Shri Ram, and if her words are true, may the Fire God not harm her. Sita comes out of the fire unscathed and Agni Dev himself tells everyone that Sita is pure and no sin ever touched her. Shri Ram then says that he never had a doubt about Sita's purity, and the Agni Pravesha was only to convince the world of her chastity.

In Ramcharitmanas, Tulsidas writes that Ramji always knew he was Lord Vishnu, so he knew his duty and what he had to accomplish in his life. That's why he sent Sita to Agni Dev before Shurpanakha came. He knew what was going to happen.

In Valmiki Ramayan, Ram does not know about his divinity. He only knows himself as a human, son of Raja Dasharath.

So it all depends on which version you believe in. Hope I helped.😊

Yeah, the kids are sooooo cute.😳 The kid who played Lava went into acting and played Lakshmana in the Telugu Sampoorna Ramayanam Movie.

Oh thats nice! I saw the Lava Kusa movie in Tamil. A wonderful movie and mesmerising songs.... Though I was not very comfortable with Sita's ending statement! Also, whom did she prove herself to, Ram, Hanuman, Valmiki & Lakshman?

But even then, a classic movie which I can watch again and again....

Hello everyone

I actually had a small doubt. I'm sorry if this question was previously asked, as I'm not very frequent in this thread😳 But I heard somewhere that there was once a Yuddha between Shri Ram and Hanuman? Does anyone know if it is true, or the details of it?

It was shown in the movie Bajrangbali - one ruler (I forget his name) who had taken shelter with Anjani, who in turn asked Hanuman to protect him, and after Hanuman committed to it, he found out that he was to protect him from Rama!

The way it happened is that Hanuman built a fort/wall around him, and had Rama's name written all over it. Reason Rama was after that ruler was that Vishwamitra was pissed at him and asked Rama to kill him or produce him at his feet, and reason Vishwamitra was pissed at him was that he had omitted to honor him, and the reason he had omitted to honor him was at Narad's behest. So this whole drama took place, and when Rama couldn't kill the ruler, the ruler surrendered to him, and Rama got to deliver him at Vishwamitra's feet, thereby keeping his end of the deal, while Hanuman too had successfully protected him, thereby keeping his. End result: everybody happy.

Sorry if I seem a little rushed in describing this story. This story seems to be a treta yuga instantiation of Krishna's Tulabharam incident, where the moral is that the name of the god is greater than the god himself.

If you go to dailymotion.com and search Bajrangbali, it's the last but 1 episode i.e. 12 or 13.
