Ramayana For Youth

Ramayana For Youth 



Dasaratha was a great king. His palace was in the magnificent city of

Ayodhya. He had three beautiful queens. Their names were Kousalya,Sumitra, and Kaikeyi. 

The king had all the riches in the world. Yet he was sad, because he had no children.

A wise man advised the king to perform a yaaga, which is a ceremonial sacrifice. At the end of the yaaga, the king received a special sweet pudding.

 The king gave the sweet pudding to the three queens. Before long, the queens gave birth to a total of four children. 

Kausalya’s son was named Rama. Kaikeyi’s son was called Bharatha.

Sumitra gave birth to two sons, Lakshmana and Satrughna


The four brothers loved each other very much. They all grew up to be strong, brave, good and kind.King Dasaratha was friends with another king named Janaka. 
Janaka had a beautiful daughter named Sita.When Sita was old enough to marry, Janaka wanted to find a prince worthy of his daughter’s love.Janaka had a special bow which was very big and heavy. He announced: 
“Sita will be given in marriage to the prince who can lift, bend and string
the bow.

Many princes came to try, but none could even move the bow. Rama, the
prince of Ayodhya came to Janaka’s palace.
Rama was able to lift, bend and string the bow. The heavy bow snapped
under the power of Rama’s mighty arms.Janaka gave Sita in marriage to Rama. Rama took Sita to Ayodhya to live as his bride.

King Dasaratha was getting old. He decided to make
Prince Rama the next king of Ayodhya.But Queen Kaikeyi wanted her son, Prince Bharatha to become the king.

Long ago, she was promised two wishes by Dasaratha. Wickedly, she
asked for the wishes now.
As her first wish, Kaikeyi asked Dasaratha to make her son, Bharatha,
the king. Her second wish was to have Rama sent to the forest for
fourteen years.Dasaratha was shocked and saddened by Kaikeyi’s request. 

But he was a
highly principled man who always kept his promises. With great pain, he
granted Kaikeyi’s wishes

Rama obeyed his father happily, without any complaint. He went to the
forest. His wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshmana, went with himWhile in the forest, Rama, Sita and Lakshmana were staying in a hut.

One day when Rama and Lakshmana were not in the hut, demon king
Ravana kidnapped Sita and took her to his evil kingdom of Lanka. Rama
and Lakshmana went in search of Sita . 

Rama and Lakshmana met Hanuman, a god in the form a monkey.

Hanuman was very strong and brave. The two men hoped Hanuman
might help them find Sita and bring her home.Hanuman agreed to help Rama find Sita.
Rama, Lakshmana, Hanuman
and his monkey friends went in search of Sita.They came to the shores of a vast ocean and looked across the water.
Ravana’s evil kingdom of Lanka was on an island far into the ocean. 
The monkeys built a raised path across the ocean to Lanka.


Rama, Lakshmana, Hanuman and the monkeys marched on the stone path toward Lanka.At Lanka, Rama’s army fought with Ravana’s army.

Rama defeated 
Ravana and rescued Sita.Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Hanuman and the monkeys went back to
Ayodhya. 
The people of Ayodhya were thrilled to see them.Rama was made the king of Ayodhya and Sita the queen. 

The kingdom of Ayodhya was a happy place again.

Mahabharat for Youths

Mahabharat For Youths Introduction :  "The Mahabharata is an ancient Indian epic where the main story revolves around two branches of a family - the Pandavas and Kauravas - who, in the Kurukshetra War, battle for the throne of Hastinapura. Interwoven into this narrative are several smaller stories about people dead or living, and philosophical discourses." Chapter 1: King Shantanu and Bheeshma Long, long ago, in ancient India, King Shantanu ruled the kingdom of Hastinapura. For centuries, Hastinapura was ruled by the Kuru family of King Shantanu.

Why Bells Are There In Temples?

Have you ever wondered "why bells are there in temples"? It is an age old tradition to ring the bell of the temple upon entering its premises. Bell ringing is an ancient Vedic ritual and one can see multiple bells hanging over the domes in many Indian shrines. It is said that the devotees knock God’s entrance to ask permission upon entering his holy sanctum. Making temple bells is a whole science . " The bell is made up of a mixture of five metals – lead, copper, zinc, iron, and tin" to which it is measured based on ratio and specification. Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create a harmony between your left and right brains.

Why did lord krisha choose Arjuna instead of karna, Dronacharya, Bhisma?

Mahabharata is epic and always continues to fascinate people, even for those who know the least. It is a great treasure of facts and knowledge and it is impossible for anyone to know everything. Many of the facts omitted or even unknown to people. Mahabharata shows us the application of philosophy when it comes to deciding between right and wrong in cases where the answer is not simple. Mahabharata’s four main characters are Arjuna, Karna, Dronacharya, and Bhishma . From Karna, Drona, Bhisma, and Arjuna, it is Arjuna who stands out from the four as the hero. Karna, Drona, and Bhishma are remembered as tragic heroes. They all experienced sad deaths on the battlefield. So why does Lord Krishna choose Arjuna instead of Karna? Karna was a great warrior, in many ways greater than Arjuna. They may have been equal as archers, but physically, Karna was by far the stronger of the two. And even in sticking to one’s principles,  But in Karna’s life, there was one fatal flaw. He made his fri...
