Rama's Journey Continues

Rama's Journey Continues

Sita’s Capture & Jatayu’s Bravery
Sita faints after being kidnapped by Ravana. When she wakes up, she tries to escape and shouts for the animals to tell Rama. Ravana laughs at her anger. The brave bird Jatayu fights Ravana, warning him that Rama will destroy the demons if Sita isn’t freed. Sadly, Ravana cuts off Jatayu’s wing and flies away with Sita. Before dying, Jatayu tells Rama and Lakshmana what happened but can’t say where Ravana went.

Lesson: Jatayu kept his promise to protect Sita as best as he could, showing great courage.

Meeting Hanuman & Sugreeva’s Story
Rama and Lakshmana enter Kishkindha, a kingdom of wise monkeys. Hanuman, a loyal monkey warrior, greets them in human form, recognizing Rama’s greatness. He introduces them to King Sugreeva, who shares his sad story: His brother Vali, a mighty but angry king, wrongly accused Sugreeva of betrayal and stole his throne and wife.

Lesson: Hanuman is wise and devoted, while Sugreeva is a good leader who was wronged by his brother.

 Rama’s Promise & The Arrow Test
Moved by Sugreeva’s story, Rama offers to help defeat Vali. Hanuman believes Rama is the god Vishnu in human form. To test Rama’s power, they ask him to shoot an arrow through seven trees—Rama does this easily, piercing through worlds and seas!

Lesson: Rama’s incredible strength proves he is a true hero, and he keeps his word to help those in need.
