Chapter - 25– Sri Ramacharitha Manas – Uththara Kanda – Sri Ramacharitha and the blissful life of people of Ayodhya

 

Goddess Sri Mahalakshmi worshiped the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra relentlessly, forgetting her supremacy on the fourteen spheres, whose compassionate grace is yearningly sought after by the deities, Rishis, Sages, and humans.  The three younger brothers, Bharatha, Lakshman, and Shathrughna served the Lord selflessly, and their love and devotion for Rama have no bound. They stood dutifully gazing at the marvelous form of Lord Sri Ramachandra, waiting for his orders, and always been ready to follow the command of the Lord, and the compassionate Lord took every opportunity to impart the supreme knowledge and loved them dearly. The people of Ayodhya lived a bountiful and blissful life which is difficult to dream even for the deities, they were highly devoted at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Ramachandra, immersed in the veneration of the Lord Day and night, and asked for the one and only boon ‘Ananyabhakthi/perpetual devotion’ in return. In the meantime, Devi Sita gave birth to two beautiful infants Kusha and Lava, who were mirror images of Lord Sri Ramachandra, and they have possessed the courage, virtues, valor, amiability of the Lord. Bharatha, Lakshman, and Shathrughna had two sons each, and all of them were the mirror image of that supreme Bhramam who is the essence of virtues and valor.
