Listen to a Ram Story – Episode 1 Urmila

Jai Shri Ram! The entire nation is rejoicing as Ramlala is coming to Ayodhya. However, as I explained in my previous video, establishing Ram Rajya is no easy feat. It requires immense effort and sacrifice. Some individuals criticize Lord Ram for his actions, such as killing Bali or abandoning Sita. But I have discussed these events in detail in my earlier video.

Today, I want to share a captivating story about Urmila, the wife of Lakshman. Often overlooked, Urmila’s story is one of incredible strength and devotion. While Ram, Sita, and Lakshman were in exile, Urmila remained in the palace, separated from her husband. Some might argue this was an injustice, but I believe her story demonstrates her remarkable character.

There is a tale, whether real or legend, that highlights Urmila’s extraordinary spirit. It is said that during the exile, Lakshman did not sleep for twelve years, guarding Ram and Sita. One night, the Goddess of Sleep offered to relieve his exhaustion, but he declined, stating that serving his brother and sister-in-law was enough.

The Goddess then approached Ram and Sita, but they too refused, directing her back to Lakshman. Once again, Lakshman declined, but suggested she visit Urmila, who must also be weary from years of separation.

Upon reaching Ayodhya, the Goddess offered to alleviate Urmila’s sleeplessness. But Urmila questioned why she had come to her instead of those in the forest who must be truly suffering. The Goddess explained that Lakshman had sent her.

Hearing this, Urmila was overwhelmed with emotion. She realized that even amidst his own hardships, Lakshman had remembered her and wanted to ensure her well-being. This demonstrates Urmila’s unwavering devotion and the profound love between her and Lakshman.

Therefore, it is inappropriate to suggest that Urmila was wronged. The sacrifices made by individuals like her were crucial for establishing Ram Rajya. We should not judge these actions through a modern lens, but appreciate them for their significance in that era.

This is the first part of my series on Ram Kahani. I will continue to share stories about other characters, highlighting their contributions to Ram Rajya. If you enjoyed this video, please like and share it. Don’t forget to subscribe for more insightful content.
