Thank you Shirley di, Aadhya, and Sruthi di. All have posted beautiful analyses, except janvhi di. Please post karo na! Anyway, here are my thoughts on today's episode...
The theme of today's episode was fear.
First, in Panchavati, Ram and Sita are expressing their love by writing each other's names on lotuses(Awww!). Then, Sita asks Ram what would happen if both of them get separated. Ram immediately silences her by telling her that they will never be separated as, for he wouldn't let that happen. This way, both the husband and the wife are expressing their fear of being separated physically.
Then, in Lanka, Ravan is all set to go and kidnap Sita, when Vibhishan tries for the last time to convince Ravan of the wrongness of his intentions. Ravan then states that to rule a kingdom, you need instill fear, and leaves. Vibhishan is left alone, fearing that Sita's apaharan will become the cause of the downfall of the Asur Kul. So, Vibhishan expresses his fear of the ruination of his family, while Ravan fears of losing his dominanace, so is out to instill more fear in people's hearts.
In Kishkinda, bali comes and sees Sugreev being put on the throne. He gets mad and beats up Sugreev before Sugreev runs away with Hanuman. Five people have fears here. Bali fears that Sugreev will usurp his throne, Sugreev fears for his life, Hanuman fears for Sugreev's life, Roma fears for her husband's life, and Tara fears that her husband might commit a sin in anger.
And finally, we come back to Sita's old fear that something bad is going to happen, and it is confirmed by the behavior of nature and its children.
The lesson I learned from today's episode is that fear, even when its small, can dominate a person and trap it in its chains. But when you are free from fear. you are truly happy and peaceful!
