Are u going to present the whole Valmiki Ramayana as it is it would be a gigantic task Kudos to ur efforts Wishing you all the very best 👍 जय श्री राम🚩🚩🚩🚩 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[@narayankarandikar6926]

The Yagya for an Heir conducted by Dashrath was Putrakameshti yagya and not Ashwamedha Yagya. Ashwamedha Yagya is performed for the explicit purpose of expanding the boundaries of your kingdom.

[@prashanthmotadoo6084]

That's what I was thinking.

[@Anmol_ayr]

It was Ashwamedha yagya I personally read it in valmiki Ramayan.

[@ishanthmishra7658]

He performed Ashwamed Yagya on advice by Rishyashringa After performing Ashwamedh yagya, he performed Putra Kamesti yagya. Then after completion of yagya, a vishnudut appeared with a bowl of sweet made from rice and milk and asked Dashrath to feed it to his queens.

No sensationalism, just a very lucid, sensible and very enlightening narration. Kept me hooked through out all the episodes. Till now I have never had the patience to watch Ramayan or Mahabharata on TV because of all the drama. But this is very engrossing. Thank you so very much for bringing to light our rich,cultural history.

True.. All serials...even the old dd national ones...god those songs!!! I didnt like them

[@SHUBHANGICHAUHAN-k5y]

what i liked about this was ...more focus while performing the ritual.....was on public service and not just the priest ..... unlike today where people spend a lot on pleasing the priest , fake goodness yet they may not help people in need .🤗😇🙏

Awesome... Especially the language..."No jugaad"😊😊😊

[@dedmause_06]

I am greatful that I could find this channel through the ranveer show. Its high time youth involves themselves with studies of epics, rather than being sceptics just for the sake of it.

[@bhavyathakkar6313]

Amazing work Yashodeep sir. Feeling bad that I didn't come across this channel before but oh my god, I am even more happy to come across now. better late than never. I am currently binging all of your videos. and I am going to rewatch them again and again, until it becomes muscle memory as you said on The Ranveer Show. I know basic Sanskrit, so it becomes easier to learn Sanskrit from this channel.. Lots of love and respect from Ahmedabad/Canada. Special mention to your storytelling skills, which involves subtle and healthy humor as well... and it becomes easy to follow and learn.. Great research, Great Animation. Minimal and straightforward. God bless you ❤

Lord Vishnu's promise to the Devas - “O Devas, fear no more, peace be with you. For your sake, I will destroy Ravana, together with his sons, grandsons, counsellors, friends and relatives. Having slain that cruel and wicked asura, the cause of fear to the divine sages, I will rule in the world of mortals for eleven thousand years.” - Sarga 15, Bala Kanda, Valmiki Ramayana.

[@Rohit-ij7mb]

Yes and some people say valmiki don't mention ram being vishnu avatar

[@shailendrarastogi]

Dashrath did not perform 'Ashwamedha Yagya' for heir, he performed 'Putraishti Yagya'.

[@sarangl8341]

Wasn't it पुत्रकामेष्टी?

[@21Notes]

Did Dashrath do the Ashvamedha or the Putrakameshti yagya? Valmiki has actually mentioned both these yagyas. This is the 2nd shloka of the 8th Sarga of Balkand - चिन्तयानस्य तस्यैवं बुद्धिरासीन्महात्मन: । सुतार्थं हयमेधेन किमर्थं न यजाम्यहम्।। While reflecting over the matter, a thought struck the great king (Dashrath), “Should I consider performing the Ashvamedha yagya for a son.” And then he discussed the matter Sumantra, Vasishtha and others. Later, Valmiki has described in detail how Dashrath first did the Ashvamedha yagya (14th sarga) and then the Putrakameshti or Putreshti yagya (15th sarga) right afterwards.

Hi Yashodeep. I understand that Chaitra mas is the first month in the calendar. As per the research carried out, Ram's date of birth is 10th January. So can we say that the 9th day of Chaitra mas and the 10th of January are same dates?

[@anushkkundar2120]

The order was Ram lakshman bharatha and shatrugna..The porridge was also given in same order to their mothers..Their marriages too happened in the same order..Bharatha also refers lakshmana as ayya(elder one)...So it's lakshmana who was born before bharatha..Btw you are doing great job🙏🙏

[@anushkkundar2120]

@@titlydebnath24651.Valmiki says that the king's sons were "Prathakjajnak" which means born separately..So there's no way of twins. 2.The major cause for this misconception was that Lakshman and shatrugna have the same nakshatra(Ashlesh)..same nakshatra doesn't require to be born on same day.

[@anushkkundar2120]

@@titlydebnath2465 I don't think there's any specific reference for age difference in valmiki ramayan..But still we can infer about the orders of their birth: 1.Dasharath gave 1/2 of the porridge to kausalya first..Then he gave 1/2 of the remaining half to sumithre(1/4)..Then he gave 1/2 of remaining half to kaykeyi(1/8) and again to sumithre(1/8) (Dashrath didn't want kaykeyi to have a child because of the promise..so he gave 1/8 only i think..like under dosage maybe) 2.Ram married first..then lakshman..then bharath and lastly shatrugna. 3.When the 3 of them returned from exile after 14 years Bharath first prostrated down to ram and then prostrated down to lakshman(Bharatoham abhivadayet)..if bharat was elder then why would he throw himself before lakshman. 4.Bharat while requesting ram to return to ayodhya said that if he didn't return then he would stay there just like elderly lakshman(aryathah lakshmanet) 5.Ram was born in chaithra maas punarvasu nakshatra..Lakshman in shravan maas ashlesha nakshatr..bharat in pushya maas pushya nakshatr(on fullmoon day)..and shatrugn on next shravan maas ashlesha nakshatra PS:The last point that i wrote here was which bannanje govindacharya quoted but still the above 4 is enough to infer that Lakshman was elder than bharath
