Ayodhya Stories

Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa inspired the stories in this collection to answer questions such as these: What would Rāma have thought about a monument to mark his janmabhūmi? Why did Rāma tell Bharata that the kingdom was Kaikeyī's bride-price? How did Hanumat get the idea that Rāvaṇa never abducted any unwilling or married woman before Sītā? Why did the luminous herbs disappear when Hanumat came for them? At what age were Rāma and Sītā exiled? Did Hanumat witness Dhānyamālinī or Mandodarī distracting Rāvaṇa from Sītā? How could Mahodara and Mahāpārśva return to battle after they were slain? The title is Saṃskṛta and means "Recognize Ayodhyā In The Wilderness," which was part of Sumitrā's advice to Lakṣmaṇa in Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa. The first six chapters are Drabbles of exactly 100 words, and the next eight chapters are Microtales of 15 words. Much later, I added another Drabble as the fifteenth chapter. Each story is based on Vālmīki's Rāmāyaṇa, and supported with citations from the text. Cover Credit: average-student of India Forums, using images from Chitra Ramayana by Balasaheb Pant Pratinidhi.

But Have you seen anywhere Lord Rama with Four Hands??Have you seen Lord Rama carry the 'Chakra' and the 'Shanka' along with his traditional bow and arrow?? If No, then read this story, The story of Bhadrachala Ramayana, where Lord Rama is not a person born from Kousalya but rather Lord Narayana himself who transformed to Rama.

This is where her story begins.

As preparations for the January 22 Pran Pratishtha ceremony of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya were in progress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the main jajmaan of the event, was visiting temples associated with Lord Ram across the country.
