Shri Rama's full journey, from birth to Diwali.

रामो विग्रहवान् धर्मः ॥“Rama is dharma embodied.” — Valmiki Ramayana

अध्याय 01Ayodhya

जन्म 

The Birth of Shri Rama

अयोध्या नगरी में राजा दशरथ को पुत्र की चाह थी। पवित्र यज्ञ की अग्नि से वरदान मिला, और चार राजकुमारों का जन्म हुआ। सबसे बड़े श्री राम अपने भीतर वह प्रकाश लिए थे, जिसे कोई राज्य समेट नहीं सकता था। 

In golden Ayodhya, King Dasharatha longed for a son. From the sacred fire came a gift, and four princes were born. The eldest, Shri Rama, carried a light no kingdom could hold.

अध्याय 02Siddhashrama

यज्ञ-रक्षा 

The Sage's Call

ऋषि विश्वामित्र श्री राम और लक्ष्मण को अपने यज्ञ की रक्षा के लिए वन ले गए। श्री राम ने यज्ञ बचाया और शिला बनी अहिल्या को अपने चरणों के स्पर्श से मुक्त किया। 

Sage Vishwamitra led Shri Rama and Lakshmana into the forest to guard his sacred rite. Shri Rama protected it, and freed Ahalya from her long stone sleep with a touch of his feet.

अध्याय 03Mithila

स्वयंवर 

The Bow of Shiva

मिथिला में राजा जनक ने स्वयंवर रखा। श्री राम ने शिवजी का विशाल धनुष उठाया और वह बीच से टूट गया। सीता ने उन्हें वरमाला पहनाई। 

In Mithila, King Janaka held a great contest. Shri Rama lifted Shiva's mighty bow and it broke in two. Sita placed the garland around his neck.

अध्याय 04Dandaka Forest

वनवास 

The Exile

राज्याभिषेक की पूर्व-संध्या पर, वर्षों पुराना एक वचन माँगा गया। श्री राम ने बिना एक शब्द कहे राजपाट त्याग दिया, और सीता व लक्ष्मण के साथ चौदह वर्ष के लिए वन को चल पड़े। 

On the eve of his crowning, an old promise was called due. Shri Rama gave up the throne without a word and walked into the forest for fourteen years, with Sita and Lakshmana.

अध्याय 05Chitrakoot

भरत मिलाप 

Bharata and the Sandals

भरत वन में श्री राम से मिलने पहुँचे और लौटने की विनती की। श्री राम ने वचन नहीं तोड़ा। भरत उनकी चरण-पादुकाएँ ले गए और उन्हें सिंहासन पर रखकर राज चलाया। 

Bharata found Shri Rama in the forest and begged him to return. Shri Rama would not break his word, so Bharata carried home his sandals and ruled in their name.

अध्याय 06Panchavati

स्वर्ण मृग 

The Golden Deer

वन में एक सोने का हिरण चमका। सीता ने उसे माँगा, और श्री राम उसके पीछे गए। सीता अकेली रह गईं, तभी लंका के दस सिरों वाले राजा रावण ने उन्हें आकाश मार्ग से हर लिया। 

A golden deer shimmered through the trees. Sita asked for it and Shri Rama followed. While she stood alone, Ravana, the ten-headed king of Lanka, carried her across the sky.

अध्याय 07Dandaka to Pampa

जटायु और शबरी 

Jatayu and Shabari

घायल जटायु ने बताया कि रावण सीता को दक्षिण ले गया। आगे शबरी ने प्रेम से चखे हुए बेर खिलाए और श्री राम को सुग्रीव से मित्रता का मार्ग दिखाया। 

Dying Jatayu told Shri Rama which way Ravana had flown. Then Shabari offered berries she had tasted with love, and pointed him toward an ally, Sugriva.

अध्याय 08Kishkindha

किष्किंधा 

Friends in Kishkindha

ऋष्यमूक पर श्री राम की भेंट हनुमान और सुग्रीव से हुई। अग्नि को साक्षी मानकर मित्रता हुई, और श्री राम ने सुग्रीव को उसका राज्य दिलाया। 

On Mount Rishyamukha, Shri Rama met Hanuman and Sugriva. Their friendship was sworn before fire, and Shri Rama helped Sugriva win back his kingdom.

अध्याय 09Kishkindha to Lanka

हनुमान 

Hanuman Leaps

पवनपुत्र हनुमान एक ही छलांग में सागर लाँघ गए। अशोक वाटिका में उन्होंने सीता को खोजा और श्री राम की अंगूठी दी। लगभग बुझ चुकी आशा फिर जल उठी। 

Hanuman, son of the wind, crossed the ocean in one leap. In Lanka's garden he found Sita and gave her Shri Rama's ring. Her nearly extinguished hope lit again.

अध्याय 10Rameswaram

सेतु 

The Bridge of Stones

समुद्र के तट पर वानर सेना ने पत्थरों पर श्री राम का नाम लिखा। पत्थर तैरने लगे। कदम दर कदम, लंका की ओर जल पर एक सेतु बनता गया। 

At the sea's edge, an army of vanaras wrote Shri Rama's name on stones. The stones floated. Step by step, a bridge grew across the water toward Lanka.

अध्याय 11Lanka

युद्ध 

The War of Lanka

दस दिन तक घमासान हुआ। बाण धूमकेतु की तरह जले। अंत में श्री राम ने रावण का सामना किया, और देवताओं के आशीर्वाद से एक बाण ने अंधकार को चीर दिया। 

Ten days of thunder. Arrows burned like comets. At last Shri Rama faced Ravana, and one arrow, blessed by the gods, broke the darkness apart.

अध्याय 12Ayodhya

दीपावली 

The Return of Light

चौदह वर्ष बाद श्री राम अयोध्या लौटे। नगरवासियों ने उनके स्वागत में लाखों दीप जलाए। उसी प्रकाश की रात को हम हर वर्ष दिवाली के रूप में याद करते हैं। 

After fourteen years, Shri Rama returned to Ayodhya. The people lit a million lamps to guide him home. We remember that night of light every year as Diwali.

॥ जय श्री राम ॥

धर्म, मर्यादा और प्रेम की यात्रा यहीं पूर्ण होती है · A journey of duty, restraint and love

राम की हर राह पर एक और कथा चलती रही, पवन-पुत्र की।

Along every road Rama walked, another story walked beside him: the story of the son of the wind.

हनुमान

लीला-कथा · The Story of Hanuman

मनोजवं मारुततुल्यवेगं जितेन्द्रियं बुद्धिमतां वरिष्ठम् ।
वातात्मजं वानरयूथमुख्यं श्रीरामदूतं शरणं प्रपद्ये ॥“Swift as thought, fast as the wind, master of his senses, foremost among the wise: son of the Wind, chief of the vanaras, Rama's messenger. I take refuge in him.”

लीला 01Anjana's Hill

पवन-पुत्र 

Son of the Wind

वानरराज केसरी और माता अंजना के घर एक तेजस्वी बालक जन्मा। पवनदेव के आशीर्वाद से वह वायु की गति और अपार बल लेकर आया था। 

To Kesari and Anjana was born a radiant child, blessed by Vayu, the wind god, with the speed of the wind and strength without measure.

लीला 02The Dawn Sky

सूर्य-फल 

The Fruit in the Sky

भोर में उगते सूर्य को मीठा फल समझकर बालक हनुमान उसे पकड़ने आकाश में उछल पड़े। इंद्र के वज्र से उनकी ठोड़ी (हनु) पर चोट लगी, और तभी उनका नाम पड़ा हनुमान। 

Mistaking the rising sun for a sweet fruit, the child Hanuman leapt into the sky to catch it. Indra's thunderbolt struck his jaw, hanu, and so he was named Hanuman.

लीला 03Rishyamukha

प्रथम भेंट 

The First Meeting

ऋष्यमूक पर्वत पर हनुमान ने पहली बार श्री राम और लक्ष्मण को देखा। उसी क्षण उनका हृदय झुक गया, और वे जीवन भर के लिए श्री राम के सेवक हो गए। 

On Mount Rishyamukha, Hanuman first saw Shri Rama and Lakshmana. In that moment his heart bowed, and he became Rama's servant for all time.

लीला 04The Southern Sea

सागर-लंघन 

The Great Leap

जाम्बवान ने उन्हें उनकी भूली हुई शक्ति याद दिलाई। हनुमान ने श्री राम का नाम लिया और सौ योजन का विशाल सागर एक ही छलाँग में पार करने निकल पड़े। 

Jambavan reminded him of the strength he had forgotten. Speaking Shri Rama's name, Hanuman rose and leapt across the hundred-league ocean.

लीला 05Ashoka Vatika

आशा की अँगूठी 

A Ring of Hope

अशोक वाटिका में माता सीता शोक में बैठी थीं। हनुमान ने श्री राम की मुद्रिका उनके सामने रखी, और बहुत दिनों बाद सीता के मुख पर आशा की मुस्कान लौटी। 

In the Ashoka grove Mother Sita sat in sorrow. Hanuman laid Shri Rama's ring before her, and after many days hope returned to her face.

लीला 06Lanka

लंका-दहन 

Lanka Burns

रावण ने हनुमान की पूँछ में आग लगवा दी। उसी अग्नि से हनुमान ने अहंकार की नगरी लंका को जला दिया, और माता सीता का स्थान सुरक्षित रहा। 

Ravana set Hanuman's tail alight. With that very fire he burned the city of pride, while the grove where Sita sat was left untouched.

लीला 07Dronagiri

संजीवनी 

The Mountain of Herbs

युद्ध में लक्ष्मण मूर्छित हो गए। जड़ी-बूटी पहचान न पाने पर हनुमान पूरा द्रोणागिरि पर्वत ही उठा लाए और रात बीतने से पहले लक्ष्मण को जीवन मिल गया। 

Lakshmana fell unconscious in battle. Unable to tell the herb from the rest, Hanuman lifted the whole mountain and brought it before the night was over.

लीला 08Ayodhya

हृदय में राम 

Rama in His Heart

जब पूछा गया कि उनके लिए श्री राम क्या हैं, तो हनुमान ने अपना हृदय खोलकर दिखाया। वहाँ श्री राम और माता सीता विराजमान थे। यही सच्ची भक्ति है। 

Asked what Shri Rama was to him, Hanuman opened his chest. There, within his heart, sat Rama and Sita. This is devotion in its purest form.

॥ जय बजरंगबली ॥
