Epic of Ramayana

By Himani Agarwal

"Lord Rama", the seventh Avatar of Vishnu,

You are the embodiment,

Of chivalry and virtue,

loving son of Dashratha and Kaushalya,

sharing sibling bond with,

Bharata, Laxmana and Shatrughana, 

Married to "Sita",

Daughter of Raja Janak,

Gave birth to two bright sons,

"Kush and love",

Sumitra and Kaikeyi,

being your second mothers,

loved you as if you were their's,

As the destiny was already set,

Kaikeyi was chosen to be bad,

evil soul of Ravana,

Had to be killed by Rama,

So, first vow was,

The "exile for Rama",

and second was,

The "throne to his Son bharata",

Ravana loved Sita's beauty,

Kidnapping her from Rama,

became his priority,

After snatching Sita from Rama,

Killing Ravana was now required,

Bahubali Hanumana was,

Ram's true devotee,

Who helped in finding Sita,

And bought Sanjeevani booti,

Made a bridge and reached Lanka,

Found Sita in Ashok Vatika,

A fight between Rama and Ravana was inevitable,

As, always good over evil won,

After fourteen long years,

they met family,

From then onwards,

We celebrated "Diwali".
