What an episode today. What a path crossing. The scene where Ram sethu is being built and Ram building the Shiv Ling was quite symbolic.
We need to know that Ravan is the devotee of Lord Shiva. All his wealth and power he has got from the blessings of Shiva when he was a true devotee. But then he became egoistic, thought he is above God and told Lord Shiva he doesn't need him. Because he believed or assumed whatever he achieved was based on his own effort. All the power, wealth it was his. He was the one who cannot be conquered.
To end the adharma of this man who claims to be the devotee of Shiva a path is being made and along with the path, worship of Lord Shiva is happening. Yes Ram is requesting the lord of destruction power to destroy the adharm that has been created with his power.
Lord Shiva telling the place as Rameshwaram and if anyone prays to him with clear mind the wish will be fulfilled. Reason is this is the place Lord Vishnu as a human requested the Lord to give him power to take power from adharma.
We need to know Lord Shiva is associated with Shakthi or power. And if you want power at the side of dharma, power for success in your dharmic venture, support in taking away the power from adharma with clear mind pray to Lord Shiva in Rameswaram. He will grant you the wish.
Then comes the Ram Sethu. What does Ram Sethu signify. Ram Sethu is a path build by many people for the betterment of the world, a path through which Ram becomes Shriram. A path through which Raghunandan becomes Lord Ram. It is the path to his greatness, but it is not built by him. It is built by people who believed in him, believed in his mission. How does Ram return. He returns to Ayodhya in Pushpka Viman whereas the Vanar Sena come back via the Sethu. Where does Ram's greatness lay. Giving importance to Vanar Sena, respecting the contribution of everyone in making him great. Or in other words he never forgets the path he came. What about us. Our path to greatness is also not build by us. It is build by someone else. Today we will be having lot of facilities. We will be able to travel by air, go to luxurious hotels, have an international holiday but do we remember the people in our life who made it possible at the height of glory. From our parents, teachers, relatives, friends to the next door kiraya shop bhaiya would have played the role in making us what we are. Do we recognize them. Do we smile at them. Do we treat them our equal or ask them what did you do.
Always remember the path you came. The effort you took to reach where you are. The people who supported you. Have them in your hearts and you will also be there in their hearts. Always look back. Before seeing the Pushpak Viman, see the Ram Sethu. You will learn to appreciate the help you got in a better way if you learn to see Ram Sethu everyday. And that walk of Ram on the Ram Sethu it was so so beautiful, so spiritual and Ram setting his foot in Lanka against the setting sun was symbolic of ending of adharma.
Next was Sita. She uttered only one word. Raghunandan. But everything was in it. Everything. A woman who had lived all the days in Lanka with only one faith that her husband love her enough to make the impossible possible and come to Lanka. Yes it was the delivarance of Sita's faith, a woman's faith. The path he took for her, the war he fought to liberate her was enough for her to live with his name in her heart for the rest of her life time even though away from him. A man thinks he conquers a woman with power, alas how wrong he is when she can be much easily conquered by love. He forcefully tries to touch her body, while it is much easier to touch her heart. He doesn't understand a woman with freewill accept the bandhan of love and all duties associated with it. Sita uttering Raghunandan is a lesson to a man who wants to win over a woman.
Ravan. Idiot. He is so self absorbed. But idiot has become insecure. With each of Ram's feat he wants to prove himself to be great and is throwing caution to wind. Tomorrow he will get another slap. Akampana was so right. He once again proves his intellect by analyzing the situation perfectly. He has understood Ram is a tough opponent. He tells they should check their army, their weakness. But alas Ravan has gone deaf. He is asking who will protect Ram. He has also gone blind in not understanding Rudra is with him as his sevak. All senses of Ravan has stopped working and he is caught in his own illusion while telling Sita's illusion will break.
Last but not least. Once again dharma of Ram. Once last attempt has to be made for peace. War should always be the last option. And he ask Angad to be the peace messenger. Why Angad the peace messenger. There is lot of significance in choosing Angad as the peace messenger. We need to know that Ram killed Bali with the help of Sugreeva. Angad is Bali's son. He could have raised mutiny. But Angad understands the situation, accepts Sugreev as king and is supporting Ram in the mission. In doing so he protects Kishkinda from further damage and unnecessary wars. And the status of Angad in Ram's army is really huge. He is not treated like a slain enemy's son. But as an equal and capable warrior. By giving him this important mission Ram highlights how he will treat each person who sides with dharma. He will be treated with love and respect
