The law of Karma or Prakriti shud have punished the Praja of Ayodhya for giving so much pain to Sita and Luv Kush and repeatedly demanding Proof even when they were guilty of doing injustice to Sita.

Bcoz of their one mistake done repeatedly Ayodhya Lost Sita forever and luv kush had to live without their mother for no fault of theirs 😭

Power or the craving for power is instrumental in prompting those seeking unlimited power to act in ways that lead to selfish acts. In the case of Ravan he willfully goads his trusting sons on the path of self destruction. He refuses to heed the warnings of all those that loved him. The blind love of his mother fills him with such a self image that he is invincible. He undermines the capacity of others. The pride of Ravaan is his hamartia. He is blinded by his invincibility he believes that those around him will be blinded by the love and implicit faith of the need to put Ravaan's interest over all else.
The accumulated wrong doings ultimately paves way for the destruction.

Yes Vidya. The need to be important for all and driving fear into others if you dont obey orders results in Ravan's downfall.

Beautiful analysis!

Liked the point of comparison wrt sita's entry into Lanka and exit - the effect caused !

Sure she succeeded in bringing down the ahankar of Ravan down to earth . Reference to Sanskriti and Prakriti with reference to SITA and Mandodari was so well made !

Talking about the criminals having a longer existence in today's world , is never understood rightly by people !,They seem to give wrong arguments to ignore the real cause of letting such elements live longer !

Longer the Adarmi lives the worse will be his end is the point to be understood .

But alas! People with shortsightedness fail to gauge the effects of their actions and are immersed in the intoxication of successful evasion of either being caught or escaping punishments !

As always, it feels with every point of discussion over here in the forum , the need to take these lessons for life to a larger audience seems to be a very important need of this day !

Thanks to SKR for providing us with is wonderful opportunity to share and discuss these with some depth and understanding .
