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

Nārāyana. The Lord of Sustenance.
To sustain his universe, he has always done everything one could ever imagine. From incarnating as a complete wild boar, to living away from the love of his life to vanquish evil, Lakshmīkānta has always done everything to establish Dharma every time Adharma threatens to overpower it.
Ananta. He's endless. He will remain one of the few constants even as the universe comes to an end.
Hari's kathā is just as everlasting as him, evergreen in both emotion and meaning. As perpetual as him are his stories, never coming to an end, never ceasing to enrapture those who attempt to understand these tales brimming with a charm nothing else has.
This is an attempt to encapsulate some moments from the stories of Vāsudeva in shorts that may succeed in giving the tiniest glimpse of Vaikunthanātha. This is my attempt at writing about Rāmachandra, whom I love and revere beyond what my words can explain.
This is my humble attempt at bringing to life some of the moments from the evergreen stories of Mahāvishnu.

[The chapters showcase these undoubtedly divine characters with a touch of humanization, and while I will try my level best not to get too carried away with it, moving too far away from the original plot, some people might not be willing to see their deities humanized. In that case, I'll request you to skip this book. Thank you!]
