Episode 79 – Ram fights his own devotees Tarani and Virbahu

from The Ramayan – Stories of Dharm and Devotion · host Sandeep Agarwal

In our previous episode, Lanka had burned under the fury of the Vanars. Kumbh and Nikumbh had fallen. Makaraksha had tried to hide behind cows and bullocks, but Ram had upheld dharm and struck him down. Sita’s faith had grown stronger in Ashok Vatika. And the gods had praised Ram for his strength guided by righteousness.But the war did not pause. When the news of Makaraksha’s death reached Raavan, he sat in stunned silence. One by one, his greatest warriors had marched to battle. In today’s episode, Raavan’s desperation deepens. We will see him call Tarani, the son of Vibhishan, and ask him to save Lanka. We will witness a prince torn between loyalty to his land and devotion to Ram. On the battlefield, Tarani will fight fiercely, yet his heart will long for liberation in Ram’s hands. We will see Ram struggle with a painful dilemma, how to raise his weapon against one who bows with true devotion. And in the end, we will witness a moment of profound grace, where death becomes liberation. But the storm will not end there. From the heavens will come Virbahu, born of a Gandharva princess and Raavan, riding a mighty elephant blessed by God Brahma. We will see Bhasmaksha, whose deadly gaze turns warriors to ashes, fall by Ram’s wisdom. We will witness another clash of devotion and destiny as Virbahu seeks death at the Lord’s hands. One by one, the last pillars of Lanka will fall. Only two will remain; Raavan and Indrajit. Join me now, as grief and devotion walk side by side, as fathers weep and warriors seek liberation, and as the war of Lanka moves closer to its final and inevitable end.Ramayan, Sita, Raavan, Ram, Lakshman, Hindu mythology, Indian epics, Valmiki Ramayan, Ramayan stories, Hanuman, Ramayan podcast, Indian culture, Dharm, Hindu traditions, Ramayan episodes, Spiritual stories, Indian history, Lord Vishnu, Ramayan characters, Raavan's tyranny, Sita's captivity, Ancient India, Hindu epics, Inspirational stories, Devotion, Moral lessons, Storytelling, Indian mythology
