Episode 75 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla starts with describing the state of mind of Ram as he is thinking about Seeta camping with the army near the ocean. The discussion moves to Raavan’s royal court. Raavan is shaken up after the devastation caused by Hanuman in Lanka. Raavan is also aware that Ram has moved with a vast army. Raavan knows that Ram has reached the ocean and may soon cross the ocean and reach Lanka. He asks his courtiers for advice explaining the value of good advice and also that one must take decisions based on advice of learned persons and well-wishers. Immediately after Raavan asked for advice, the courtiers went into an overdrive praising Raavan and also talking of his past achievements. The round of praise was followed by grand claims by various warriors about how each one of them could go and finish off the army singlehandedly. In the midst of this chest-thumping, Vibheeshan (younger brother of Raavan) argued coolly that nothing would be achieved by going into war with Ram. Vibheeshan argued that Ram had done nothing wrong and abduction of Seeta was without any justification. Vibheeshan advised Raavan to return Seeta to Ram before the war breaks out. Raavan does not reply to Vibheeshan. Next morning, Vibheeshan goes to Raavan’s residence and tell him about all the bad omens that have been happening since Seeta has been brought to Lanka. Again Raavan offers no response.  (Ref. Chapters 5-10, Yuddh Kand, Shreemad Valmikiy Ramayan)  ***** श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय रामायण विश्व का प्राचीनतम ग्रन्थ है। इसे आदिग्रन्थ कहा गया है। इसमें राम के जीवन का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है। इसमें राम का चित्रण एक ऐसे मनुष्य के रूप में किया गया है जो संघर्ष करता है, परिश्रम करता है, जीवन के द्वन्द्वों का सामना करता है, अपने सहयोगियों एवं निकटस्थ व्यक्तियों से चर्चा करता है और विद्वतजनों से मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त करता है। वह धर्म एवं आदर्श के पथ से कभी हटता नहीं है। उन्हें मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम कहा गया है। उनके जीवन का हर प्रसंग शिक्षाप्रद है, प्रेरणादायक है। चर्चा की इस श्रृंखला का उद्देश्य दर्शकों को राम के जीवन से परिचित कराना है। राम के जीवन को जान कर, समझ कर और आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित। Valmiki Ramayan is the original epic which narrates the story of Ram. It is a detailed work which describes Ram as a human being who faced all the difficulties of life.
