Urmila grew up hearing the story of her aunt Sulochana from her mother Sunaina. She knew her mother and aunt Sulochana were born from Vasuki's tears when Maa Parvati unknowingly tied Vasuki tightly to Shiva's neck. Since both Parvati and Vasuki fought for the children Shiva decided to give one child to Parvati and another to Vasuki. Her mother was given to Parvati who then gave her to Devi Narmada to raise. Sulochana had grown up in Naglok and had become the bride of Meghnadh the formidable and divine prince of Lanka. Urmila as a child always wished to visit Lanka and meet her aunt. Sulochana also yearned to meet her nieces Sita and Urmila whose childhood pictures she had seen from the travellers from Mithila. But the life in Lanka and her love for her beloved husband didn't allow her that as worshipping Vishnu was banned in Lanka and King Janak was a devotee of Vishnu and it was said that the elder daughter of Janak Sita was Mahalakshmi herself. Little did Urmila and Sulochana knew their paths will cross in the most unexpected way. Instead of being the loving aunt and niece they stood on two sides in the epic battle between their respective husbands Meghnadh and Lakshman. Their love, their devotion and their chastity played the most important role in the outcome of that decisive battle. The story traces the journey of Urmila and Sulochana and how the duty bound and chaste daughter of Janaka overcame the divine and chaste power of the princess of Naglok who is also her aunt. The story got #24 in #womanpower on 09/04/2021 PS: The story is based on the folklore Sunaina and Sulochana were born from Vasuki's tears. Cover Credits: Proteeti from Indiaforums.

Just pure, selfless brotherly love.

" ... I got a severe attack of fever and was laid up for six or seven days. It was a struggle whether Meghnad will finish me or I finish him. Thank Heaven. I have triumphed. He is dead, that is to say, I have finished him. It cost me many a tear to kill him."

Ancient India. Approximately 7 thousand years ago. The Kingdom of Kosala. A dutiful crown prince exiled from his kingdom for fourteen years. A loving wife who follows him, and is captured. A demon king who threatens the entire mortal population of the world. Ram, the eldest of the four princes of Ayodhya, is known to be righteous, good, and an eternal follower of justice and law. Beloved by all in his home state of Kosala and beyond, he defeats thousands of demons even in his teenage years, fabled as an undefeatable, almost Godly hero. His marries the beautiful Sita, and is all set to be crowned king. Then, the unthinkable happens. He's sentenced to 14 years of exile. Followed by his loyal wife and a brother who would sacrifice his life for him, Ram makes his way into the Chitrakut forest near his home city, and makes a life there killing demons, gathering berries, and blissfully awaiting for his exile to finish. When his wife is kidnapped and kept prisoner in the land of Lanka by a lustful demon king named Ravan whose devilish exploits litter the pages of books and haunt children's nightmares, Ram has to follow a track, make allies, and find friends in the world of terror. Ram has to wage a war against a king who has never lost. Ram has to reclaim his wife and be crowned the king of Ayodhya without losing himself. This tale navigates a life before exile, a life throughout exile, and a life after the exile which redefined the word 'hardship', tested relationships, lives, and strength. This is the story of the Ramayan. (Warning-This story is very funny and really not as serious as the description)

The best pair in ramayan is them.... ram and his lakhan lal and I can never have enough of these two brothers.....this series would consist of various short stories of these brothers and their undying love for each other.......though in line with the mytho few details may differ......this is purely my imagination and not to hurt anyone's sentiments or belief.

The selfless sacrifice of Urmila and Lakshman for the greater good. The proof that true love can sustain anything.

Highly understated, and often missed, the sons of Sumitra, Lakshmana and Shatrughna bring some unmatchable qualities to the table, which often complemented their extraordinary abilities. Strong, inside out, and yet compassionate and loving to those who were good, the twins always had the ability to win hearts. But being behind the curtains for most part, and dedicating themselves to being inseparable shadows of their elder brothers meant they never came in the limelight. Their sacrifices just as valuable as those of the others, and their commitment towards their duties of tremendous magnitude, they made for great soldiers in the epic of Ramayana. But how did the rollercoaster of emotions throughout all the twists and turns in their lives impact them? Under the mask of being okay, like that of battle-hardened soldiers the circumstances had forced them to turn into, what were their real emotions? This is the legend of the sons of Sumitra. P.S- this is a fanfiction, where in I have taken fictional liberty, and its highly possible that it may be very different from original epic, if you find difference in the nature or habits of any of the charecter, pls note that its fictional, and NOT MEANT TO HURT YOUR FEELINGS!! MAIN INCIDENTS ARE THERE Cover credits to- @richa 1510 Description credits- @Ramayana_lover

Ramayana. An Indian epic that has lived through the centuries and has only grown even more in the process. An epic that shows ideal characters, many of whom we worship, and other characters from whom we learn what we shouldn't be at any cost. But one thing that has been a constant for many centuries now is the examples we give, referring to the epic. One of the most popular ones being "Be a brother like Rama." Not only is the Ramayana an enchanting tale of love and devotion, but it's also an equally magical example of brotherhood and affection. Brothers who stood with each other through thick and thin. Brothers who would readily sacrifice their life for the other. Brothers who would love the other, and support him when nobody else did. This book brings to you the Ramayana, but this time, the limelight is on the inseparable brothers. *** Disclaimer: Please do not read this book if you do not like humanization of deities. However, I can assure you that ALL relationships in this book are shown the way they're meant to be - no non-canon shipping. I can also assure you, that since I myself am a devotee of Shri Rama, that you will never have me intentionally writing anything against him, his real nature - the same goes for the others - Sita, Lakshmana, Urmila, Bharata, Mandavi, Shatrughna, Shrutakeerti, Dasharatha, the mothers... All of them will always get their due respect in this book. Secondly, I've followed the Valmiki Ramayana throughout. Some incidents may be revelations, as quite a few things are contrary to popular perception and other versions. Thank you! Fantastic cover designed by @Mochis4lifeq52627 <3
