Purpose Of Lord Rama's Birth!
In the last story, we have read that the demon King Ravana has received the boon from Lord Brahma. As per Lord Brahma blessings, Ravana cannot he killed or defeated by gods, serpents, demons, transgender, wild beasts and heavenly spirits. After receiving this boon Ravana has started to spread his atrocities in all the four loka. All the gods, heaven spirits and other get so much exhausted with Ravana's dictatorship and atrocities. They all came to the Lord Shiva and Brahma but even both these god can't do anything.
All of them
were so terrified and asking for the
help to save them from the demon King. Then the Lord Shiva said that in such
circumstances it become necessary for the great entities to take birth to
destroy the evil entities of the universe. Lord Vishnu then said, “ the reason
of Ravana's destruction is also hidden
in this arrogant behaviour". Lord Vishnu further continued that while
asking for a boon to remain indestructible Ravana forgot to include humans in
it because of egoistic nature. So, now a human being will be the reason for his
destruction.
Lord Vishnu
said, “ I will take birth on this earth as the son of King Dasharatha of
Ayodhya, and from this the destruction of Ravana will begin “.
How Did
Lord Rama Came On This Earth?
On the other
side, it starts from the banks of river Sharayu. On the riverside the mighty
kingdom of Kosala stood with its picturesque landscapes, palaces and elegant
buildings, gardens & water streams. The kingdom of Kosala was founded by
Surya or Sun dynasty. Ayodhya or Oudh – the capital of Kosala was built by the
king Ichavaahoo, the 1st son
of king Manoo of the Sun dynasty.
After the
demise of the king Raghu of Surya dynasty, King Dashratha sat on the throne of
Kosala. King Dashratha was an intelligent, competent & tactful ruler. But
the palace was dipped in the sorrow as he was childless. One day when King
Dashratha was seated with all of his queens. King Dashratha has 3 wives – elder
queen Kausalya, the second queen Sumitra and the youngest queen Kaikeyi.
One day the
great sage Guru Vashishta gave the king a piece of advice. He said, “ Oh King
Dasharatha kindly send invite to the great sage Rishyashringa and do the Putra
Kameshti Yagya, then you will soon be blessed with a child.
As per the guru
Vashishta advice the king Dashratha performed the Yagya. From the sacred fire
of the Yagya, the guardian angel came off and said – “ Oh king! Your prayers
has been accepted, so please ask your wife to take a sip of porridge from this
golden bowl. King said to his wife Kausalya that this is a gift from god &
you may drink half of the porridge from this bowl and pass the rest to Sumitra
and Kaikeyi.
After a few
months the entire palace was overjoyed by the birth of children. Queen Kausalya
gave birth to the Rama, Kaikeyi gave birth to the Bharatha and Sumitra gave
birth to the Lakshmana and Shatrughna.
The entire kingdom of Ayodhya along with the king grandly celebrated the birth
of the princes.
