Did the Lord order us to go to Ayodhya?
When do we have to go?
Right now? Today or tomorrow?
Very soon.
The Ashvamedha Yajna will begin in a few days.
We will get an opportunity to meet
kings, emperors, and sages from various kingdoms.
May you have a long life.
We are going to Ayodhya!
We are going to meet Lord Shri Rama and Mother Sita!
We are going to Ayodhya.
Where are both of you going?
- Ayodhya! - Ayodhya!
Lord Shri Rama!
Mother Sita! Ayodhya!
'Vandevi is, in fact, Sita.'
- We are coming! - We are coming!
No! We won't accept anyone as our queen
except the princess of Mithila.
You're absolutely right.
Only Devi Sita can be our queen.
Yes. Only Sita can be our queen.
- Hail Queen Sita! - All hail!
[suspenseful music playing]
[thudding]
She is
the queen of Ayodhya.
[theme song playing]
[song playing]
Karma, words, and mind
play their parts in human life.
Marriage is a bond
which ties a husband and wife through these three things.
This bond is eternal.
People who can sever this bond easily
were never truly married.
I, Rama, am lifeless without my Sita.
Only alive people give offerings,
not those who are lifeless.
Although my Sita is away from me,
physical distance is meaningless
because we have a single mind.
A husband and wife
are united through words and karma without even speaking.
I'm confident
that wherever my Sita is,
she will definitely offer 'arghya' during the Ashvamedha Yajna!
So, I can't let anyone take Sita's place!
[song playing]
Sita will surely be present during this 'yajna'
in the form of this golden idol.
Because my Sita is as pure and pious as gold.
Henceforth, Sita, the queen of Ayodhya,
will remain in Ayodhya
in her divine form forever!
Now all the scholars may decide
whether I qualify to give offerings during the 'yajna'
or not.
- Hail Queen Sita! - All hail!
Friends, please don't be discouraged
by Rama's sweet talk.
Let's wait
for Sahasramukharavana's command.
He will give us a trick
to overcome this problem.
Lord, I'm blessed to have a disciple like you.
According to the shastras and vedas,
your decision is correct.
We will ritually install
Queen Sita's idol in the royal court tomorrow morning.
It will be installed beside you.
Thank you for your support, acharya.
[exhilarating music playing]
Sons, please remember
that Shri Rama's life journey
is proof of selflessness.
He renounced comforts
and set an example of sacrifice and selflessness
for the happiness of the subjects and his kingdom.
Mother, we get the point.
Since we were given a chance to go to Ayodhya,
why are you lecturing us
about sacrifice and selflessness?
I'm telling you the truth.
You may ask
a question if you want.
Ayodhya.
Please tell me about it.
The roads and its vastness.
About its forests and gardens.
Please tell us about those things.
Will you ask me everything
or witness a few things yourself?
Mother.
[yawning] I have a question.
No.
I don't want to hear your question.
I'm going to tell Somkaran
that we will leave tomorrow morning.
I have been mulling over this question
since I returned from Mithila.
Queen Sita...
No. Mother Sita.
If she hadn't accompanied Shri Rama to the forest,
nobody would have gone to Lanka.
Was it destiny, a plan,
a curse, or a blessing?
Only God knows
His ways.
The Lanka chapter
proved Shri Rama and Queen Sita's love
for each other.
Some event or another occurs
in a person's life all the time.
However, the extent to which
a husband and wife
display courage and love for each other
reflects the intensity
of their bond, strength,
and relationship.
This means that Shri Rama's greatness
is due to the presence of his wife, Queen Sita.
I was already eager to meet the Lord,
but now I'm equally eager
to meet Mother Sita once I reach Ayodhya.
Kush, Shri Rama and Queen Sita
aren't different people.
You will see Devi Sita
in the image of Shri Rama.
Son, if you don't see Sita
in Ayodhya,
please don't be disheartened.
Do you understand?
Kush.
[Sanskrit mantra chanting]
"Stay happy."
"May Goddess bless you."
[song playing]
The installation of Queen Sita's idol is complete.
- Hail Siyavar Ramchandra! - All hail!
[song playing]
Rama,
I never understood your sacrifice completely.
I used to think
that you at least have the support of your loved ones.
Now I know
that when a person's family
doesn't support him,
he feels lonely even in the presence of relatives.
But, Rama, I don't want to live without my brother.
So, I want to ask for something.
Rama, please permit me
to die before you die!
[gloomy music playing]
Lakshmana!
Lakshmana.
[mellow music playing]
Lakshmana,
you have reached the zenith of sacrifice and service.
Lakshmana, please ask for something else.
Rama, I can't ask for anything else.
I know you might think
I'm being selfish and stubborn,
but I'm helpless, Rama.
I can't even imagine living without you.
I'm not courageous enough.
This is my only wish.
Please fulfil this wish of mine.
[song playing]
Thank you, Rama.
I thank you a million times.
[happy music playing]
Your Majesty, I also have a wish.
I'm always scared
that I might forget my sister's sacrifice and grief
while living comfortably.
This is why I want to keep the clothes she wore during her exile
in the shrine and venerate them.
Please give me her clothes.
[mellow music playing]
I will fulfil your wish.
You have my blessings
that your hometown of Mithila
will be regarded as sacred as Ayodhya and Kashi.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Thank you, Rama.
Shatrughna, please don't thank me.
You must thank Mithila
for giving us four precious gems.
Their brilliance
showered love and devotion upon our Ayodhya.
[joyful music playing]
Kush, please hurry up. We are running late.
[drums beating]
The dream of Luv and Kush to go to Ayodhya
will finally be fulfilled.
Play it louder.
It's okay. But why did you bring the ox-drawn cart?
It's for you.
We can't let the princes travel like ordinary people.
I mean disciples can't go to Ayodhya like ordinary people.
Yes. Our Luv and Kush will travel in this bedecked ox-drawn cart.
They will travel with dignity and comfort.
Fine.
Somkaran needs it too.
However, Somkaran,
where is your shoulder bag?
It's right here.
[joyful music playing]
Three bags for Somkaran!
Somkaran, Prasuta,
and your assistant guru will also accompany you.
- What? - Yes.
They will look after you.
We will keep a watch on both the brothers.
[amusing music playing]
Where is Kush?
Kush, please come soon.
Look, we have so many co-travellers.
[amusing music playing]
I apologise
for making everyone wait.
Who is this new bow for?
It's for Somkaran.
- Is it? - Yes.
We will be immersed in singing and artistic feats.
We might not be able to protect you.
So, please protect yourself
just as you did in the past.
Won't we carry our weapons?
We'll play the 'vina'
and sing the story of the Ramayana.
Why would we need weapons then?
Right, Gurudev?
- Please give it. - What?
- 'Vina'! - 'Vina'!
I don't have a 'vina'.
[amusing music playing]
What happened?
Why do you both look sad?
If Lord Valmiki
is sending you to Ayodhya empty-handed,
there must be a good reason.
Sons, please move with determination.
I'm confident that both of you
will win over everyone in Ayodhya
just as you did in Mithila.
Importantly,
please don't cross the line this time.
Prasuta will keep me updated
every moment.
We didn't get a 'vina',
but instead, we've the responsibility of protecting them.
I can hear you.
I will answer your question on the way.
[Somkaran laughing]
[everyone laughing]
Your biggest dream
will soon be fulfilled.
You only heard
Ayodhya's name to date.
Now, you have the opportunity to visit that place.
Spend every moment
in that sacred town
as if it were an entire lifetime.
Please sing the story of Ramayana
to comfort the listeners
with your words
and mannerisms during their journey.
Sure, Mother.
We will mesmerise everyone
with our singing.
Right, Kush?
Okay, Mother.
However, if we had a 'vina',
we would have been even more melodious.
Let it be.
God's ways are strange.
[mellow music playing]
[joyful music playing]
- Mother, we'll take your leave. - Mother, we'll take your leave.
Sons, may you earn fame.
[conch shell playing]
[joyful music playing]
[song playing]
Shri Rama, today your children will step inside
their town and home.
However, it would have been great
if I could tell you
that the descendants of Raghukul
will soon enter their kingdom.
But strangely,
I feel anxious
during this happy moment.
What if they come to know the truth?
I hope they aren't hurt
by this
harsh truth.
