Hello and welcome back to the Ram series. We have been exploring the stories of Ram for quite some time. Today, I want to discuss a controversial quatrain from the Sundarkand section of the Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas ji, which has led to much misunderstanding and criticism.
The quatrain in question is: “Dhol Gawar Shudra Pashu Nari Sakal Tadna Ke Adhikari.” Many interpret this to mean that drums, the uneducated, Shudras, animals, and women deserve to be beaten or punished. This superficial reading makes it seem like Tulsidas ji made a grave error, but the fault lies in our interpretation, not in Goswami ji’s writing.
Let’s delve into the true meaning. The context of this quatrain is during the incident in the Sundarkand when Ram and Lakshman are praying to the sea to give them a path to Lanka. The sea is not parting, so Lakshman and Ram consider using force.
Here, “Tadna” does not mean killing or beating. It means to understand or control. For instance, imagine Virat Kohli batting. After hitting two fours, he steps forward and hits a six on the third ball because he has judged or understood the bowler’s moves. “Tadna” in this context means having foresight or understanding.
In the quatrain:
“Dhol” (drum): Tulsidas ji suggests you shouldn’t play a drum without tuning it properly.
“Gawar” (uneducated/mad person): Approach cautiously until you understand their behavior.
“Shudra”: Here, Tulsidas ji doesn’t refer to caste but to someone’s actions or character. Approach people only after understanding whether they do good or bad deeds.
“Pashu” (animal): Be cautious around animals, as you don’t know how they might react.
“Nari” (woman): Do not judge a woman’s character based on superficial observations; understand her fully before forming an opinion.
Tulsidas ji never disrespected women. He revered Mother Sita, Trijata, and Mother Kaushalya. Even Kaikeyi, who exiled Ram, was never insulted by Tulsidas ji. The quatrain emphasizes understanding and caution, not punishment or oppression.
This quatrain should be interpreted as an admonition to understand and know the true nature of things and beings before engaging with them. It’s a lesson in caution and foresight.
Please stop misinterpreting and blaming Tulsidas ji. Goswami ji was a great poet, blessed by divine vision, and he could not have made such an error. The mistake is ours in misunderstanding his words.
In this Ram series, I will continue to explore and clarify the meanings of such quatrains. Please keep watching my channel. And if you haven’t subscribed yet, please do so for more insightful content. Thank you, and Jai Shri Ram!
Hello! Welcome and greetings to Ram Kahani once again. Let us talk. As I mentioned in the first video, everything Ram did in Ram Leela and all his Leelas were not mere actions (Kriya). Why is that so? How can we say this?
Because even today, some people are not ready to accept it or they discuss that Ram was only considered a God based on the Ramayana. What did he do that we should consider him divine? How can we believe that Ram was an incarnation, just by calling him “Maryada Purushottam”?
In this video, we will explain that Ram was indeed an incarnation of God and what his purpose was in coming to this earth. We will discuss this in detail.
First of all, as I mentioned in the last video, Ram was not born like an ordinary human being. He was born after King Dasharath and his queens consumed the kheer from a Yagya. Therefore, it is said that Ram appeared through divine means rather than through a regular birth.
We have already discussed this point, so there is no need to delve further into it. Now, what was Ram’s purpose? Why did Ram perform Leelas and why did he take incarnation? We will talk about that today.
An important aspect is Kaikeyi asking for two boons from King Dasharath. We know she asked for the throne to be given to Bharat and for Ram to be exiled. Think about what would have happened if Ram had violated this and refused the order. He could have said, “Why should I go to the forest? I don’t want to go.” What if he had told Dasharath, “These are your boons, what do they have to do with me or my mother?”
What would have happened if Ram had responded this way? Would a catastrophe have struck? It is said, “Raghukul reet sada chali aayi, pran jaaye par vachan na jaaye” (The tradition of the Raghu clan is that life may go, but the promise remains). What if this tradition had not been upheld? Why did Ram go to the forest?
The belief is that if Ram had not gone to the forest, the Ram Rajya (ideal kingdom) would not have been established. For Ram Rajya to be established, the roles of Kaikeyi, King Dasharath, and the traditions of the Raghukul were essential. That is why Ram was commanded to go to the forest.
Secondly, Gautam Rishi cursed Ahalya to turn into stone and decreed that when God incarnates, she would be restored to human form by the dust of his feet. Gautam Rishi was a great sage, not an ordinary person. Why would he curse his wife this way and then tell her to wait? He foretold that when Lord Ram incarnates and his feet touch the stone, she would return to human form. This means Ram’s incarnation as a human was already predestined. Thus, Ram’s actions were not mere actions but divine Leela.
The third significant point is the golden deer incident. You and I know there is no such thing as a golden deer. When in the forest, Sita asked for the golden deer. Despite knowing it didn’t exist, Ram went after it. Why did Ram not simply explain to Sita that it wasn’t real? Why did he run after it?
I repeatedly emphasize that this is Ram Leela. If Sita had not been abducted, how would Ravana have been defeated? All this had to happen. For this sequence to unfold, Ram chased the golden deer, Lakshman ran after Ram, the Lakshman Rekha (protective line) was crossed, and Sita was abducted. In this way, Ram began the establishment of Ram Rajya through his Leela.
The fourth and final point: if a king wants to expand his kingdom through alliances, he would typically form friendships with other powerful kings. But if you read the Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas carefully, you will see that Ram did not form alliances with any kings. He befriended Nishad Raj Guha, a Bhil king, Sugriv, Vibhishan, Jatayu, and others from humble backgrounds. By making these alliances, Ram reached Lanka. If Ram had wanted, he could have allied with all the kings along the way. But his purpose in going to the forest was to establish Ram Rajya, where all beings, whether monkeys, birds, or the smallest communities like the Bhils and Nishads, were included. Taking all these sections along is what defined Ram Rajya.
This is why Lord Ram’s actions were part of his divine Leela, showing his adherence to righteousness and establishing an ideal kingdom. Understanding or explaining Ram fully is beyond us, as his Leelas are infinite. “Hari Ananta, Hari Katha Ananta”—the stories of the divine are endless.
I want to emphasize through this video that Ram being Maryada Purushottam, and his commitment to his word, were all parts of establishing Ram Rajya. My Ram Kahani series will continue in this manner.
In the next video, I will discuss the very touching episode of Kevat Prasanga. Many of you might know about it, but I will share some lesser-known aspects. So, stay tuned for my next video. Until then, Jai Shri Ram!
Hello! Welcome once again to this video. Today, we will explore the “Sundar” (beauty) of Sundarkand.
We have been running the Ram series, Ram Kahani, for the last 10 days, discussing various aspects of the Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas. Today, we’ll talk about what makes Sundarkand so beautiful.
In both Valmiki Ramayana and Ramcharitmanas, each chapter is based on a specific situation or place. For example, the first chapter is called Balakanda because it describes Lord Ram’s childhood. Similarly, Ayodhyakanda is named after Ayodhya, where the initial events take place. Aranyakanda is named for the forest (Aranya) where Ram travels. But why is it called Sundarkand? Let’s explore this question.
The beauty of Sundarkand begins with its composition in Ramcharitmanas. The first verse of Sundarkand starts with:
“Shantam Shashwat Prameya Manam Nirvanam, Shanti pradam brahma sambhu fra sevayam. Manish Vedantam Vibhu Shantam Shashwat Pram, Mangam means the beginning is made with peace.”
When Tulsidas wrote Sundarkand, he started with a sense of peace, in contrast to the preceding chapters filled with sorrow. In Ayodhyakanda, King Dasharath passes away, and Ram has to go into exile, which brings sadness.
For the first time in Sundarkand, Tulsidas felt that peace and joy were about to begin. Thus, Sundarkand starts with “Shantam Shashwat Prameya Manam” and ends with “Sakal Sumangal Dayak,” signifying it begins with peace and ends with auspiciousness. This is one reason it is called Sundarkand.
Another reason is related to the geography of Lanka, which had three famous mountains: Subel, Neel, and Sundar. Ashok Vatika, where Ravana imprisoned Sita, was on Sundar Parvat. Therefore, this chapter is named Sundarkand because Hanuman met Sita on Sundar Parvat.
Sundarkand is filled with beautiful moments. Neither Hanuman nor Ram knew if they would ever find Sita. When Hanuman reaches Ashok Vatika on Sundar Parvat and drops Ram’s ring to Sita, she feels a mix of fear and joy. In Sundarkand, it is said, “The astonished mind recognized the token, and the heart filled with joy.” This joy came from receiving a message from Ram after such a long time.
Sita’s joy was profound because Ram’s ring signified that Ram was still alive and had not been defeated by Ravana. This emotional reunion makes the incident beautiful. Hanuman was the first to bring Ram’s message to Sita, who had never met a messenger from Ram before.
Sita’s initial skepticism was overcome when Hanuman assured her by swearing on “Karuna Nidhi,” a term for Ram known only to Sita. She used to call Ram “Karuna Nidhi” in private. Hanuman’s use of this secret term convinced Sita of his authenticity, further highlighting the beauty of this chapter.
Sita then gave Hanuman her Chudamani to take back to Ram, and Hanuman’s reunion with Ram carrying this token was also part of Sundarkand. These events, filled with hope, reassurance, and divine connection, make Sundarkand truly beautiful.

Hello! Welcome once again to Ram Kahani. Did you know that Lord Shri Ram had a sister? Yes, you heard it right. Lord Shri Ram had an elder sister named Shanta. This is not just a rumor; the Valmiki Ramayana clearly states that King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya had a daughter named Shanta.
You might wonder why Shanta is rarely discussed in the Ramayana. We often hear about the four brothers – Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna – but Shanta is seldom mentioned. However, in the ninth canto of Balakanda 19.2 and in the second canto of the Valmiki Ramayana, it is clearly stated that King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya had a daughter who was the eldest among the siblings, named Shanta.
To understand why Shanta is not widely discussed, let’s delve into a part of this story. The shloka states: “Ja mata putra,” which means King Dasharath tells Sumant, his minister, about Shanta and her marriage. King Dasharath narrates how Shanta’s husband, King Romapada, visited Ayodhya with a heavy heart.
King Dasharath asked Romapada, “Why do you look so sad and dejected?” Romapada replied, “We have no children, and this has caused us great sorrow. I feel disheartened and unable to perform my duties as a king.”
King Dasharath and Queen Kaushalya decided to give their daughter Shanta for adoption to Romapada and his wife to alleviate their sorrow. King Dasharath thought, “I have three queens, and eventually, we will have children. If I give Shanta to them, it might bring them joy and end their sadness.” Thus, Shanta was adopted by King Romapada and his wife.
Destiny plays its divine game in mysterious ways. If King Dasharath had not given Shanta for adoption, Lord Ram might not have been born. How? Let’s continue the story.
After giving Shanta for adoption, none of King Dasharath’s three queens had children for many years. King Dasharath sought solutions from sages and saints but found no remedy. Interestingly, Shanta’s husband, Rishi Rishyasringa, was a great sage. King Dasharath approached Rishi Rishyasringa and asked, “Will Ayodhya never have an heir? Will we never have a child?”
Rishi Rishyasringa suggested, “You should perform the Putra Kameshti Yagya.”
As you know, King Dasharath performed the Putra Kameshti Yagya, during which a divine figure appeared from the fire with a bowl of kheer. This kheer was given to Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra. Subsequently, Lord Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna were born.
This divine play shows that, to manifest himself, Lord Ram arranged for his sister to be adopted, which led to the suggestion of performing the Putra Kameshti Yagya by her husband. This divine play is beyond our understanding, but it illustrates that even a daughter can play a crucial role in a family’s destiny.
In conclusion, Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna had an elder sister named Shanta, as mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana. However, her adoption by King Romapada led to her being less discussed.

Hello, welcome back to Ram Kahani. In this video, I am going to share some intriguing insights. Did you know that Lord Shri Ram did not actually break the Shiva Dhanush? And did you know that Lord Shri Ram himself did not want to marry Sita, also known as Janaki? You might be wondering, “How is this possible?” Watch this video until the end to learn these fascinating details about how Lord Shri Ram did not break the Shiva Dhanush and did not wish to marry Sita.
Let’s begin with the story. In this video, we start with King Dasharath sitting in his palace when suddenly Vishwamitra arrives. Upon seeing him, Dasharath stands up and respectfully asks, “Guruvar, how can I help you? What service can I offer? What brings you here?” Vishwamitra makes a surprising request: “When I perform penance in the forest and conduct yagya, demons disturb me greatly. To combat these demons, I need Ram and Lakshman.” Dasharath responds, “But Ram and Lakshman are still young, very tender. The demons are dangerous. How will they fight them? If you wish, you can take my army or even me, and I will protect you from the demons.” Vishwamitra insists, “No, Ram’s destiny is different. I want Ram and Lakshman to come with me.”
Reluctantly and with a heavy heart, Dasharath agrees, saying, “As you wish, Guruji.” He blesses Ram and Lakshman and sends them off with Vishwamitra. In the forest, Ram and Lakshman defeat many demons, ensuring the success of the yagya and penance. This part of the story is well-known.
After completing their task, they arrive in Janakpuri, where Sita’s Swayamvar is taking place. The condition is that whoever lifts and strings the Shiva Dhanush will marry Sita. King Janak set this challenge because the bow was incredibly heavy. It is said that when Sita was just seven years old, she lifted the bow with one hand while playing, which revealed to Janak that Sita was no ordinary girl but a divine being. Therefore, he decided that only someone with divine strength could marry her.
Many kings and princes tried but failed to even move the bow. Disheartened, Janak exclaimed, “Has this land become barren of worthy grooms?” Then Lakshman stood up and declared, “Lifting this bow is child’s play for me.” Vishwamitra, however, signaled him to sit down and asked Ram to try. Ram respectfully approached, bowed to Guruji, Janak, and the gathering, and effortlessly lifted the bow. As he attempted to string it, the bow broke on its own.
As I mentioned earlier, Ram did not break the Shiva Dhanush—it broke on its own. This was Lord Shiva’s way of signaling through Ram that the bow, which no one else could move, was effortlessly broken by Ram, warning the demons that Ram was destined to bring Ram Rajya and vanquish them.
Furthermore, Lord Shri Ram did not wish to marry Sita himself; if he had, he would have attended the Swayamvar willingly. Instead, he was brought there by Vishwamitra. When Janak called for the Swayamvar, why didn’t he send an invitation to Ram’s parents? Because destiny had a different plan, orchestrated by Ram himself to show the world that everything is governed by destiny.
In essence, Ram’s participation in the Swayamvar and marriage to Sita was a part of his divine play, not an ordinary act. Ram wanted to convey that his actions were guided by a higher power and destiny. My purpose in this video is to highlight the incomparable leela of Lord Shri Ram, which is beyond our understanding.

Namaste and welcome to my video today! In my recent videos, I have been exploring various aspects of Lord Ram’s story. Today’s video, the second part of this series, delves into a topic rarely discussed: the meanings behind the names of Ram, Lakshman, Bharat, and Shatrughna.
If you haven’t seen my previous videos, I encourage you to watch them. In those videos, I discuss the Ram Kahani and the idea that establishing Ram Rajya is not a simple task.
Today, we will explore how these four brothers were named. While they were all born on the same day, their names do not correspond to the same zodiac sign. This raises the question of whether Sage Vashishtha, their wise family guru, made a mistake.
However, the Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas are written in symbolic language. Ayodhya, for instance, represents a place where war has never occurred, except for one instance. Similarly, the names of the brothers hold deeper meanings.
Ram: The name “Ram” signifies the one in whom the whole world finds joy and resides. Additionally, it is formed by the syllables Ra, Aa, and Ma, which symbolize the sacred sound Om, or the primordial sound of the universe.
Bharat: “Bharat” refers to the one who protected and cared for the entire kingdom of Ayodhya while Ram was in exile.
Lakshman: “Lakshman” means the one who possesses all 32 auspicious characteristics, a rare occurrence in history.
Shatrughna: While the other brothers are known for their warrior skills, Shatrughna is not depicted as killing anyone. His name signifies the destroyer of the inner enemy, as he is the only one who raised his hand against Manthara, the instigator of Ram’s exile.
This short video aims to illustrate that the Ramayana and Ramcharit Manas are filled with symbolism. The names of the characters hold deep significance and reflect their roles in the story.

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.
Jai Shri Ram! The entire nation is currently buzzing with excitement about Ayodhya, where the Pran Pratistha of Ramlalla is about to take place. So, today’s video is dedicated to Lord Shri Ram. In this video, I will address some misconceptions about Lord Shri Ram that are being spread in Kali Yuga, which prompted me to create this video.
Lord Shri Ram is our revered deity, but nowadays, there is a trend of disrespecting saints, great men, or even God. People are spreading false and baseless rumors, deliberately creating an illusion that these great men, saints, or gods were not divine but ordinary humans.
Whether it’s Mahatma Gandhi, Lord Shri Ram, or any other saint, these rumors are prevalent today. Some people, including those involved in the creation of certain serials, have portrayed Lord Shri Ram as having committed mistakes in his life.
For instance, they claim that abandoning Sita was a grave mistake, an act of cruelty against a woman, and inhumane. These are the kinds of accusations being made in Kali Yuga.
Some also claim that Ram killed Bali from hiding, not in a face-to-face battle, which they consider deceitful. Such allegations cause immense pain, and I ask, have you read the Ramacharitmanas or Valmiki Ramayana? If you had read them properly, you probably wouldn’t be making these claims.
You might ask, what’s the logic behind this?
On what basis do I claim that Ram did not make any mistakes? Ram cannot commit mistakes; he is the epitome of virtue. Do you and I understand that Sita could not be abandoned based on a washerwoman’s words? If we do, then wouldn’t Lord Shri Ram understand? Why would he do that then?
Let’s not delve into this argument and instead focus on whether Ram actually made mistakes. Absolutely not! Lord Shri Ram is the epitome of virtue, the direct incarnation of Vishnu, and God himself. He cannot commit such mistakes. What you perceive as mistakes are not mistakes but his divine acts, or ‘leelas’. Let’s briefly explore the purpose behind these leelas in this video.
First and foremost, if you have read the Ramacharitmanas or Valmiki Ramayana, you should know how Ram was born. Ram wasn’t born in the usual sense; he manifested himself. “Bhaya Prakata Kapala, Deen Dayala, Kaushalya Hitkari” describes him. Ram’s birth is not like that of ordinary humans; instead, he emerged from kheer (rice pudding) during a yajna. Kaushalya gave birth to Lord Shri Ram after consuming that kheer. So, Ram’s birth was not like that of ordinary men.
Now, think for yourself. Could a child who is not born in the ordinary way but emerges from kheer in the sky during a yajna be an ordinary human? So, the first point is that Ram manifested himself, and whoever manifests himself is God himself, not a human born in the ordinary sense.
Secondly, the Rama Leela has been performed for centuries. Do we see Rama Kriya happening anywhere? We perform actions motivated by gain, loss, hatred, desire, attachment, envy, etc. Rama Leela is a performance, a form of acting that is not real. This is how the Rama Leela is performed.
We have all heard about it for years, so the killing of Bali from hiding and the abandonment of Sita are all part of the Leela. Because if you have read the Ramacharitmanas or Valmiki Ramayana, or even the Garuda Samvad, one thing is clear: when Lord Shiva is meditating and Parvati asks who is this, she says, “It is none other than Ram who is God himself.” Parvati asks, “Why is he wandering in the forests, his wife has gone astray, his wife has gone astray, and he is crying for her, asking the trees and birds? Is he God?” Mahadev smiles and says, “Yes, that’s the Leela.”
Imagine if your or my wife or child goes missing, would we even ask the trees, “Oh tree, oh banyan tree, oh peepal tree, tell me where my child is or where my wife is?” So, was Ram a man who would ask trees or birds? At least understand that this Leela is going on, in which Ram has to cry. So, Ram didn’t cry for his own sake but to establish his maryada (virtue).
If you have read the Manas or Valmiki properly, you would never say that Ram made mistakes. Why did Ram kill Bali from hiding? There are many stories behind that.
My purpose here is not to narrate the story or the Ramayana but to simply convey that everything Ram did was to establish a maryada so that
Ram Rajya could be established. Ram Rajya doesn’t happen just like that. Imagine if Ram had not abandoned Sita despite hearing the washerman’s words, let’s say he didn’t listen or abandon her. What would have happened then? It is said that in Ram Rajya, the people are happy, meaning not a single person in the entire kingdom should be dissatisfied. Ram established this maryada by addressing the concern of why even one person thought that Ram brought Sita back home from Lanka after her abduction.
So, Ram abandoned that Sita. But wait, Sita is Ved itself, meaning she has no attachment to her body. So what will Ram abandon? He has no attachment to the body. And the Agni Pariksha had already taken place before. Before the exile, when Ram and Sita were leaving for the forest, before Sita’s abduction, Sita had already entered the fire in the Agni Pariksha. This is clearly mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana.
Again, I am not here to recite the Ramayana. My purpose is simply to emphasize that behind the killing of Bali from hiding, the abandonment of Sita, or Sita’s Agni Pariksha, there is only one purpose: to establish maryada (virtue). And where Vishnu’s incarnation did not establish maryada, you see how Krishna Leela unfolds. So, in the Ramcharitmanas and Valmiki Ramayana, it is mentioned that this is all Ram Leela, where we see how the epitome of virtue acts and how Ram Rajya is established, how the world can function with rules.
Ram ruled for 12,000 years, and during that time, no one was unhappy or troubled. There were no locks on the doors of houses, and everyone lived happily. To bring about this Ram Rajya, such sacrifices are necessary. So, Ram did not make any mistakes by killing Bali from hiding, abandoning Sita, or conducting the Agni Pariksha.
If Bali had to be killed and Ravana had to be killed, consider this: Bali had kept Ravana in his armpit for six months. If Ram wanted, he could have sought Bali’s help to kill Ravana. But Bali himself had abducted his brother Sugriva’s wife. How could Ram seek help from him? Ram is the epitome of virtue, the direct incarnation of God. I don’t even have the courage, strength, or the right to utter or mention any words about Lord Ram.
I simply pray that God grants wisdom to all those who speak ill of God in Kali Yuga. I don’t have anything more to say. On this occasion of the re-establishment of the Ram Leela in Ayodhya, I extend my heartfelt congratulations and wish you all to celebrate. But at the same time, please ensure that such misconceptions are not spread in Kali Yuga about any God, great man, or saint having made mistakes. And if they did make mistakes, please study the scriptures properly before engaging in any discussion. Until then, Jai Shri Ram!
