KAIKEYI SUCCUMBS

RAMAYANA

"You said: " You have restored to me the  life which my foes had taken from me . I shall give you any two gifts you ask. ' Then said: 'I want nothing now. It is joy enough now for me that you are alive. I shall ask for my gifts later,'Do you remember this?." 

The King answered: "Yes, I do remember this. Ask for your two gifts. You shall have them now."

Kaikeyi said: "Remember you have made a vow. You have given a pledge.  You have sworn in the name of Raama. The Gods and the  five elements have witnessed your promise. I shall state my wishes. Your ancestors never broke their word. Prove yourself their worthy descendant by being true to the word you have given. With the preparations now afoot for the coronation, crown my son Bharata. This is my first wish. The second boon that I demand is, send your son  Raama to live in the Dandaka forest for fourteen years. Remember your solemn  vow which you cannot break.  The good name of your great dynasty is in your hands,"

He is perfect yogi who, by comparison to his own self, sees the true equality of all beings, in both their happiness and their distress, O Arjuna!

Arjuna said: O Madhusudhana, the system of yoga which You have summarized appears appears impractical and unendurable  to me, for the mind is restless and unsteady.

 6-34
For the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate and very strong, O Krishna and to subdue it, I think , is more difficult  that controlling the wind.

 Lord Sri Krishna said: O mighty-armed  son of Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by suitable practice and by detachment.

SEETHA'S RESOLVE

  RAMAYANA The King bade Sumantra let the prince in. Raama came and bowed to the King from a distance. As soon as he saw Raama, the King suddenly rose and rushed without-- stretched arms  to embrace him. but dropped in a swoon before reaching his son.  Raama and Lakshmana tenderly lifted him up and put him on the couch."My Lord, "  said Raama "we have come to seek your leave  to go to the forest. Vaidehi and Lakshmana too are going with me in spite of all I could do to make them desist. Pray give us your benedictions and leave to depart." Dasaradha then said "Raama, I am bound by the boons that I have given to Kaikeyi. But you are not so bound. Why do you not brush me aside and seize the Kingdom by force? That had long been in King's mind as the best and only solution of the cruel problem and came out now clearly in words. But Raama said: I have no desire for kingdom or power, father.May you reign for a thousand years more. My heart is now set on going to t...

Raama asked V iswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?" Viswaamitra replied: "This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire. "When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed hu...

RAMAYANA Contemporaneously with the yaaga in A yodhya there was a conference of the Devas in heaven. The Devas complained to Lord Brahma that  Raavana, king of the demons, drunk with the power acquired by the boon granted to him by Brahma, was causing them untold misery and hardship. they represented to Brahma:"It is beyond our capacity to subdue, conquer or kill  Raavana. In the security of your boon, he has grown wicked and insolent and ill-treats all, even women,  His desire is to dethrone Indra. You are only our only  refuge  and it is for you to devise a method by which Raavana can be slain and his despotism ended. " Brahma knew that he had granted to Raavana the boon prayed for by him that he should be invulnerable and invincible against Devas, Asuras,Gandharvas and other such beings. In his arrogance, Raavana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the Gods rejoiced and turned to  Vishnu....
