My First stories From the Ramayana (Hardcover)

The Ramayana, one of the great epics of ancient Indian literature, tells the story of Prince Rama's journey, trials, and triumphs. Here's a summary of the first part of the Ramayana, focusing on the beginnings of the story:

The tale begins in the kingdom of Ayodhya, ruled by King Dasharatha, a noble and wise monarch with three queens: Kaushalya, Kaikeyi, and Sumitra. Though he had wealth and power, Dasharatha’s greatest wish was for an heir to continue his lineage. After a great sacrifice, his prayers were answered, and he was blessed with four sons: Rama, Bharata, and the twins Lakshmana and Shatrughna. Among them, Rama, born to Kaushalya, stood out as exceptionally wise, virtuous, and powerful.

As the years passed, Rama grew into an ideal prince, embodying courage, wisdom, and righteousness. Eventually, he married Sita, the daughter of King Janaka of Mithila, after proving his strength and virtue by lifting and breaking the great bow of Lord Shiva during her swayamvara (a marriage ceremony where suitors compete for the bride’s hand). Their love and loyalty to each other became a model for relationships.
