@Gowri in simple terms adharma can be used for defense if attack is adharma. Simple maths. Only negative * negative can be positive. Abhi had to die adharma way, because only then Krishna could do full fledged Adharma, only then Arjun will accept Adharma way of defense.

Abhi's death was Arjun punishment , for the silence in dyut sabha when Draupadi was calling out for everyone. Including Pandavas were guilty of not listening to her. Again it was punishment for Arjuna to let go of Jaydrath after he insults Draupadi because Jayadrath is Dussala's husband. Punishment for keeping relation over dharma, Arjun's most loving relation is taken away in the most brutal adharmic way.

It also shows Lord doesn't show any disparity. Justice is served same and it is only based on actions and actions alone. Arjuna corrected his actions and hence Lord protected his grand child. He gave both punishment and blessing to Arjuna. And greatness of Arjuna was he was thankfull for blessing but never blamed Lord for the punishment.

If you support adharma, your kids will suffer, because Lord is punishing you, for your karma and they become the medium.

If you want to give something to your kids, don't give them the baggage of bad karma atleast knowingly.

Ram paid the price of Dasrath keeping Kaikeyi over and above the crown queen Kausalya. Dasrath's lust on Kaikeyi was one of the most important reasons for Ram's vanvass.

Yes Shivam. But look at the price Bharath too paid. A young loving prince returns to a hostile country who blames him for Ram's misery and the poor soul has not done anything.

All the funda was done by Dasrath and Kaikeyi. But the one who went through both physical and emotional travails were the children

14 long years Ram, Lakshman and Bharath along with their counterparts paid the price. Urmila and Mandavi too suffered right.

Screenplay was beautifully connected. Once again the contrast of Ram and Ravan. For Ravan it is all about himself. He doesn't understand his power is Mandodari. Yesterday he doesn't allow her to do Vijay thilak and today he goes and boasts in front of her about his achievements. What a mess. What did he achieve. Ram literally challenged him to use adharma in direct face off by lowering his bow when sunset. It showed an adharmi also is very much concerned about this image. He can do adharma only in hiding not in direct face off. In addition to that he lost the umbrella and many other weapons in his chariot. In a way Ram was taking down many physical powers of Ravan and indeed successfully too.

Another funda he tells Sulochana. If I had gone earlier I would have saved Kumbhakarna and Meghnadha. Yes dimaag ki baathi thodi jal gayi. This is the problem with adharma. They always hide behind the defense.

Now let us see Ram. He is a very realistic warrior. The sena tells since Ravan's defense is gone now you can win against Ravan. Ram says till Ravan is there it can swing in any direction. We need to know this is true in MB also where the last battle of Dury vs Bhima become crucial and even after that Aswathama does the worst attack.

We need to know 11 is not completion, 12 is. 99 cannot be 100. And that 1 does make all the difference. So in every war there should be no laxity till it is closed.

Sita sends Shakthi Mantra to Ram. Once again power is highlighted. But unlike Ravan the power of Ram is spiritual, divine and he respects Shakthi or Mata Gowri. Not only that in addition to worshipping Adiparashakthi more importantly he respects his own Shakthi, his wife Sita. Once again it showed Akampana's half knowledge in assessing Sita. He tells Ravan Sita is Ram's weakness, but doesn't understand she is also Ram's Shakthi.

Remember when war started I had written Ram asks leaders to stand in front and protect the sena. This is where Ram had the brilliant knowledge to come in front first time to boost the confidence of his sena. After that the sena took over as they knew their swami has to be protected at any cost. They should not be troubling him. But by sitting in the palace and sending his sena to die Ravan loses the confidence of his sena.
