Episode 69 – Raavan’s tricks and Angad’s warning to Raavan
In our previous episodes, we saw Ram display the perfect balance of compassion and might. When the spies of Lanka were captured, he released them unharmed, offering a lesson in honor and fearlessness. And when the Vanars built the mighty bridge across the ocean, Ram did not need to boast. A single, silent arrow—fiery and divine—was enough to shake the city of Lanka and send a message louder than words. That arrow did not destroy, but it warned. It did not roar, but it thundered. Raavan felt its power. His pride was hurt—but instead of retreating, he took it as a challenge. The shadow of arrogance clouded his wisdom. In his golden court, filled with demons and doubt, the line between courage and foolishness began to blur.In this episode, we see Raavan who is wicked in mind, cunning indeed, tries one cruel trick. With the help of a sorcerer named Vidyujjuh, he conjures an illusion so real it shakes the hearts of those who see it. A severed head. Ram’s head. Along with his bow and arrows—displayed before Sita, as if her beloved had already fallen. Then we see that the drums of war grow louder. But even in this hour, Ram chooses the path of peace one last time. Before blood is shed, before swords clash, he sends an ambassador—Angad, son of Bali—bold, wise, and strong. Not to beg, but to offer Raavan a final chance to avoid ruin. Thus, begins today’s tale—a tale of deception and diplomacy, of illusion and truth. In Lanka’s golden palace, two powers meet. One—built on fear, illusion, and pride. The other anchored in truth, courage, and dharm.Ramayan, Sita, Raavan, Ram, Lakshman, Hindu mythology, Indian epics, Valmiki Ramayan, Ramayan stories, Hanuman, Ramayan podcast, Indian culture, Dharm, Hindu traditions, Ramayan episodes, Spiritual stories, Indian history, Lord Vishnu, Ramayan characters, Raavan's tyranny, Sita's captivity, Ancient India, Hindu epics, Inspirational stories, Devotion, Moral lessons, Storytelling, Indian mythology
