Ek Sloka Ramayanam - Ramayanam in One Sloka {HD}
MP3 ATTACHED
CHANTING THIS SLOKA IS EQUAL TO READING RAMAYANA
"Aadho Rama thapo vananu gamanam, Hathwa mrugam kanchanam,
Vaidehi haranam, jatayu maranam, Sugreeva sambhashanam,
Bali nigrahanam, samudhra tharanam, Lanka pureem dahanam,
Paschad Ravana Kumbha karna madanam, Ethat ithi Ramayanam"
The meaning of above sloka
Once Rama went to forest, He chased the deer,
Sitha was kidnapped, Jatayu was killed, There were talks with Sugreeva,
Bali was killed, The sea was crossed, Lanka was burnt,
And later Ravana and Kumbha karna were also killed.
This in short is the story of Ramayanam.
Simple introduction to Ramayana
Sage Valmiki composed wrote Great Epic Ramayana in sanskrit.
Goswamy Tulasidas retold the original Sanskrit Ramayana authoring
"Ramcharitmanas" in the language Awadh making it famous
Rama the prince of Ayodhyais brave, wise and dutiful
And Sita his wife is beautiful, generous and saintly.
They are the ideal royal couple.
Sita gets introduced to Rama at a ceremony called 'Swayamvara', organized by her father Janaka
the king of Mithila to identify a suitable bridegroom for her lovely daughter.
Princes from various kingdoms are invited and challenge to string a giant bow.
Only the mighty Rama could lift the bow, string it and even break it into two halves.
This leads Sita to garland Rama as her husband.
Intrigues in the Royal Family
King Dasharatha of Ayodhya, had three wives and four sons. Rama was the eldest and his mother was Kaushalya. Bharata was the son of his second and favorite wife, Kaikeyi.
The other two Lakshmana and Shatrughna were twins, from his third wife Sumitra.
While Rama is all set for coronation, his step-mother, Dasharatha's second wife, Kaikeyi, wants her son, Bharata, to become king.
Before the aged king could hand over his crown to his eldest son Rama, Dasaratha is destined to die. And instead of being crowned king of Ayodhya, Rama is sent into exile in the forest for fourteen year by an intrigue in the palace and a quirk of fate.
Rama is Banished for Fourteen Years
Rama goes to the forest with wife Sita and brother Lakshmana.
They live as recluses among the hermits leading a life of meditative retreat in the woods.
Bharata, whose mother's evil plot won him the throne, meets Rama in the forest.
He pleads him to return to the capital.
Rama declines to break his vow given to his father and compels Bharata to go back to Ayodhya
Bharata requests Rama to spare his sandals to place them on the Throne and rule Ayodhya.
Rama Fights Ravana, Rescues Sita
While Rama, his wife and brother are living a simple yet happy life in the forest, tragedy strikes!
Then the plot revolves around with the abduction of Sita by the demon king Ravana.
Sita was held captive in the island as Ravana tries to persuade her to marry him.
Rama's pursuits to rescue her, aided by Lakshmana and the mighty monkey-general Hanuman.
Rama assembles an army of allies comprising mainly of monkeys under the brave Hanuman.
They attack Ravana's army kills the demon king and frees Sita, reuniting her with Rama.
Rama Regains His Kingdom, Sita Returns to Mother Earth
After fourteen years, Rama and Sita return to Ayodhya with a warm welcome in Ayodya by all.
Rama rules the kingdom, where they rule for many years, and have two sons – Luv and Kush.
Unfortunately, Sita's chastity during her period of capture by Ravana comes under scrutiny.
Sita she has to go through trial by fire to prove her purity.
But queen, who emerged from the earth at her birth, invokes Mother Earth to take her back.
And the saintly Sita returns to her Mother entering in to the Earth., never to reappear again.
And after conducting the coronation of his sons Luv and Kush Sri Rama returns to Vaikhunta.
Along with Lakshman, Bharat and Satrugnh also enters Vaikhunta
And thus ends The Great Sri Rama Avatar.
