The story of Dashratha
was quiet interesting. Dashratha not having any son to continue his royal
thorne and then he went for a big horse scarification to get boons and have
four sons was quiet extra ordinary. My favourite moment in the reading was when Rama and Lakshmana vows to protect Rita. The moment when Viswamitra gave those celestial
weapons to Rama and he said “When I have
need of you, I will think of you, and then you will wait upon me.” from thataka gives me a
sense of power. Those words makes oneself feel powered. The part where kaikeyi
wanted her son Bharata to get the throne and make Rama leave the kingdom for 14
years was sad for me.
