Rama is born

 


Rama is born

 

Why did the great god Vishnu descend to earth in his incarnation and carry himself to the house of the King of Ten Chariots? Agudemba told the donkey that famous Indian mythology story.

At the beginning, the great god Brahma promised to give a favor to Ravana, the ten-headed king. The ten-headed king requested that neither gods nor demons could kill him.

The Ten-headed King was the king of Lanka Island, which is today's Sri Lanka.

The great god Brahma once agreed to the request of the ten-headed king Ravana, but the ten-headed king Ravana looked down on human beings, so he did not mention that humans could not kill him.

Since the ten-headed king Ravana received the grace of Brahma, he became arrogant and domineering. Not only did he steal the speeding car of his brother, the God of Wealth, but he even captured Indra, the king of gods.

For this reason, the great god Brahma decided to punish the ten-headed king Ravana. Because the Ten-headed King did not mention that humans could not kill him at that time, the great god Brahma and the three main gods Vishnu and Shiva decided to punish the Ten-headed King by relying on the power of a strong man.

At this time, there was a beautiful and rich country, Kosala, south of the Himalayas. In its capital city Ayotta lived the famous Ten Chariot Kings. There are eight ministers under the King of Ten Ches, all of whom are capable people. They assist the King of Ten Ches to govern the country in an orderly manner, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. But the king was getting old, and his three queens did not give him a son or a daughter, so the king decided to hold a grand ceremony to win the favor of the gods and give him a son.

The great god Brahma informed the great god Vishnu of this matter. Vishnu thought that an opportunity had come, so he incarnated and descended to earth and was reborn in the family of Shichawang. He would destroy the evil-doing Ravana as a mortal.

So Vishnu appeared in the blazing sacred fire of the temple with a golden bowl in hand. He asked the king of ten chariots to share the milk in the golden bowl with the queens to drink, and told the king of ten chariots that he would have a son. Soon, all three queens were pregnant. Later, the eldest queen Chausaraye gave birth to her son Rama, the second queen Jidhii gave birth to her son Bharata, and the third queen Ramitara gave birth to twins Lakshmana and Sadaluna.

Time flies, and all four sons have grown up. All of them are handsome and well-educated. They have received a good education since childhood and learned the classics and the skills to govern the country and lead troops in war. Among them, Rama is particularly outstanding. His appearance has all the characteristics that Indians consider perfect. He has a humble personality, manages the country well, and is deeply loved by his countrymen.

One day, all the friends and sages came to the city of Ayotta. He said that two Rakshasa came to the pure forest where he was practicing, and behaved wildly, disrupting his practice. He asked the king to let him take Rama away to help protect the pure forest.

The third prince Lakshmana always respected his brother Rama and insisted on going with Rama. After the two brothers came to the Jingxiu Forest, they killed the Rakshasa who disturbed the Jingxiu Forest. The elders in the forest were very grateful to the brothers. The friends and sages gave Rama weapons and taught them martial arts.

One day, the friends and immortals told the brothers that the king of Mithila City, Janaka, was going to hold a ceremony to sacrifice the gods, and many heroes would go there. When Rama heard that King Janaka had a bow belonging to the great god Shiva, which no one could draw, he couldn't help but be excited and eager to try it.

The friends and sages brought Brother Rama to the city of Mithila. King Janaka told them that the bow of the great god Shiva was the national treasure of Mithila. Many years ago, when the king was plowing a piece of land for worshiping the gods, a girl appeared in the furrow. This girl was given by the earth goddess Earth Mother. The king named her Sita and swore to the gods that only the girl who could pull away Only a man with a magical bow can become Sita's husband. Now many famous kings and princes come here because of its reputation, but no one can draw this magical bow.

The king ordered someone to take out the divine bow. Rama lifted the divine bow with one hand, stretched out his arm and pulled hard, and the divine bow was broken. King Janaka happily married his daughter Sita to Rama.

When Rama returned to the city of Ayodha with his newly married and beautiful wife, the whole city was boiling. The clean streets were lined with colorful flags and flowers. People danced and sang to bless Rama on his new marriage.

At this time, the King of Ten Chariots felt that he was old and weak, and wanted to establish a prince as soon as possible. He discussed with the ministers, and the ministers unanimously agreed that making Rama the prince was what the people wanted.

Agudenba said to the donkey Mahu: In fact, the eldest son Rama is also the male protagonist in the Indian epic "Ramayana". He is the seventh incarnation of Vishnu, and his full name is Ramachandra. He came down to earth to save the gods from the tyranny of Ravana, the Rakshasa king, and later became a god worshiped by Hindus. His divinity is not very prominent in the Ramayana, but he completely became a god in the Medieval Ramayana and some other dialect adaptations. Believed by the "Rama Sect".

When Agudemba and his donkey were traveling in India, he told the donkey the mythical stories of India. Singing a divine song "The Birth of Rama":

 

Ravana, the ten-headed king of Lanka Island

After receiving the grace of the great god Brahma,

He is so powerful that he is arrogant and domineering

Being arrogant makes you even more evil

He stole his brother's God of Wealth's speed car

Captured Indra, the king of gods

 

For this he was angry with the great god Brahma

God Brahma and God Vishnu

And the great god Shiva made the decision

Relying on strong men to punish the Ten-headed Kings

Because Ravana has a weakness

Didn't mention humans couldn't kill him

 

Brahma learned that the King of Ten Chariots was seeking a son

Decided to hold a grand festival

Use this to win the favor of the three major gods

be able to bestow upon him a son

Vishnu was born into the royal family of Ten Chariots

Become a strongman and destroy Ravana

 

This is how the great Rama was born

Through hardships and endless tests

Fight against the ten-headed Ravana

The Demon King Ten Heads was punished

Rama becomes the protagonist of Ramayana

He became a god worshiped by Hindus
