Eyes that see the pain, Heart that respects a different POV-Ram

I would say yesterday's epi belonged to Ram. They clearly established Ram's character as different. There were all shades in it. When the chariots enter Ayodhya his brother's sees the prosperity of Ayodhya in tall buildings. They are so mesmerized in tall buildings and think that in their absence their kingdom has really prospered. And Ram his eyes fall on the old beggar woman, the man who pulls the cart and the young man becomes empathetic. His eyes shows empathy, concern. The tall buildings and opulence didn't distract Ram from seeing the misery of people or the reality of things in Ayodhya. The quality required for a king. Empathy and focus.

Very well taken Shruthi. Yes, RAm was totally different from that of his brothers. He see through the lives than the material aspects and that is how he could see only those who were in need of care takers. When his brothers were rejoicing the changes in the city where the big buildings were replaced the parks, Ram saw the aged lady who was unable to walk, the weak and withered man pulling the cart which is more than his strength and was making mental note of the same for the future actions or discussions. Even though he was disheartened on learning that they can't meet their mothers immediately, he was fast to recover and realized that there shall be some reason for them not to enter the palace and meet the mothers and so he assured his father with a smile.

I could visualize Ram discussing with Rishi Jabali in future to enhance his knowledge.

@Shruthi: Once again beautiful analysis. Though I completely liked the behaviour of Ram, I felt even Bharath should be shown somewhat with these qualities.
Seeing Jabali, I misunderstood him as an atheist of that yuga. Actually I feel he practiced advaitham.
I hope they portray the concept of Dvaitham, Advaitham and visishta advaitham on a high note. Thats the beauty in hinduism (Name of the religion was much later than those classifications).

On lighter note: Today no arguments/question, I myself shocked. 😆 Expecting once again heavy rain in my place.

Though its sita serial but i think cvs built ram character so perfect
which i loved the most
i love ram

True, Shruthi, the episode belonged to ram, the silent one, as opposed to Sita the questioning one.

@Ramya Jabali's song though conveyed aesthism, but his questions to priests were pointing towards Advaitham. Yaa I also want to know Advaitham, Dwaitham from a practical purpose. Hinduism is a later name. It was called Sanathana Dharma in earlier period if I am right. And the beauty of Sanathana Dharma was the co-existence of multiple philosophies, freedom on the choice of worship, balance in nature and many other positive attributes. We actually live in the land of Sanathana Dharma, the cradle of harmonious co-existence. And its time the next generation understood the glory of this land in its true sense.

@Arshics Nagadevata coming hopefully I feel they will show in a positive light. As a protective force than a harming force. As Janak says if you need to have blind faith have it in something good. And Sita appeasing Nagdevata my take is this.

@bold: I didn't know it. I thought we had only shaivism, vaishnavism and shaktism and not as a single religion.
Being myself a vaishnavite, I find it very difficult to follow visishta advaitham, but Dvaitham and advaitham are comparatively easy to follow. Hope to get the root of these fundamentals.

@Ramya I also belong to Vaishnavaite line of worship, but have tried to understand shaivism and Shaktism also. Can you tell about Visistha advaitham. I don't know about that.

Then he sees a man Jabali who proclaims there is no God, there is no use of doing Pooja. Who sees God in human. Again his brother's wonder why this man is telling such a lie and how he got so many followers. Again Ram he goes and bows before Jabali. And tells him he is bowing because of respect. And Jabali who is challenging everyone with his POV respects the young prince and tells him to come to him if he has any questions. Bowing before knowledge maybe knowledge different from you is a mark of humility. Another aspect a king needs.

And last but not least when Dasrath says as per rule they cannot meet their mothers before dawn his brother's are crestfallen, but Ram obeys it with a smile. Adherance to rule.

Ram's character as an emphathetic, humble and obedient Prince was beautifully established through the scenes yesterday. Well done CVs.
