Sons of Ram Page #3

how to use a bow ..

.. and arrow just like a fighter.

l'll recite the Ramayan.

l'll sing along with

the music of my sitar.

l will play with Hanuman's tail.

And happily we will all

follow...Ram's trail.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

we are going to Ayodhya.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

here we come Ayodhya.

Darbha is it true?

The streets are paved with gold?

And the temple

bells are also golden?

All the people sing about the

praise and glory of their king.

A city of the Gods, its a paradise.

lt glows like the Sun.

Flowers and birds of

every shape and size.

And grass so soft and green..

..you can't take your eyes of it.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

we are going to Ayodhya.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

its a dream come true.

How long before we get there?

A little bit ahead.

Look, friends. We have reached.

We have reached.

- Hey!

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

Ayodhya, a wonderland.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

Ayodhya, we are going there.

Ayodhya, Ayodhya,

Ayodhya, a wonderful..

We have reached!

Reached? Where have we reached,

Darbha? This can't be Ayodhya!

May be we lost our way, right Darbha?

But you said Darbha knows the way.

This is it,

children... this is your Ayodhya.

This is so strange.

Let us ask those people.

l had gone there, but it didn't

work out, so l came back. - Hello..

..this is our first visit to Ayodhya..

..and it's a lot different than

what we have heard in stories.

Ah stories! Ayodhya

has also become like a..

..never ending dark story.

Due to that people

started moving out of Ayodhya.

But king Ram and his Ashwamedh....

Ashwamedh! Only if it happens.

Huh? Why not? Why won't it happen?

Because for that the

King will have to remarry.

Remarry!! How can he do

that when he has Sita?

Oh! Don't you know that King Ram

sent Sita into exile years back.

No! The Ram from our

guru's Ramayana can't do this.

lmpossible! l mean why

would he exile Sita?

What did she ever do to him!?

Not to him! To Ayodhya.

The people of Ayodhya found

it hard to trust someone..

..who lived for a year in the

house of the evil demon Raavan.

Even if she were the queen herself!

That is ridiculous.

She was not there by choice, she

was a prisoner against her will!

And... if the preparations

for the yagna are being made..

..that means Ram is remarrying!

Maybe neither Ayodhya nor King Ram..

..deserve a great queen like Sita!

You are right. Let's leave!

Where are we going?

Back home.

How can our Lord Ram be so selfish?

How could he send his Sita away?

lt must have been terrible for her.

After she gave 14 years of

her life in exile for him..

..this is what she gets in return?

This is shocking!

But maybe we do not

know the whole truth.

We are not going to get to

play with Hanuman's tail?

No. Not today Sohan, not today.

We need to ask guruji

about this when he is back...

Maybe Lord Ram had his own reasons?!

Right! You are talking as if

you know Lord Ram very well.

Luv! Kush?

Mother! -Mother!

You both returned so soon?

Guruji said you were going to..

What happened, my children?

We did not feel like seeing Ayodhya...

...or the yagna.

We want nothing to do

with him or his Ramayana!

Don't worry children. Come in.

You can tell me everything

while you eat. Come.. come..

Yes mother, in fact

our hermitage looks..

..much more beautiful than Ayodhya.

We are better off here.

He's right, mother.

You know.. Lord Ram

left Sita years ago..

...and now he's

remarrying for the yagna.

Can you believe that?

Had l been Sita, l would

have never forgiven Lord Ram.

But you are not Sita!

And she is definitely

more understanding than you!

What more is there to understand?

Tell me, mother! What

would you do if you were Sita?!

Well, had l been Sita my duty

would have been to fulfill..

..my duties to the best of my

abilities which right now, ..

.. happens to be..

..raising up two devils like you.

And then, when you two

are mature enough...

..l will go away and

take some much needed rest!

No way...

Spoilt kids like us would

never let their mother go away...

We would use all our spells..

..to keep you with us forever.

One day l will have to go..

when you both can live without me.

When will l be able

to go far.. far away.

Do you know mother..

Mother!

Mother!

Mother! Where are you?

Mother!! Mother, where are you?

Mother!

No! -No, mother! -No!

We will save you.

-l will save you, mother. -Mother!

This nightmare...

About our mother being in trouble...

This is so strange... and familiar.

Too familiar, like it was almost...

Real!

Luv, she looked in real trouble!

We cannot tell her about this.

lt will only upset her.

Yes. l wish Guru Valmiki was here!

What does the dream mean?

Nothing will happen

to mother, right, Luv?

No! Nothing will happen to her.

Lets make a promise today.

We'll never let

anything bad happen to Mother.

Catch it Luv, catch it!

Don't leave it, Luv!

Don't leave it.

Don't leave it!

l told you, Luv would not

be able to catch the ball!

He would have, if you knew

how to throw a ball properly!

Well l would have thrown

properly like always..

..if my arm was not

recovering from a bad injury..

We have apologized a

thousand times for that! Let it go!

Shhhhhhhhh!

Huh! What happened?

l hear something. Listen!!

The monster Gandharva!!

Quick, let's run back to the ashram!

Wow! What a beauty!!

Luv, let's take it home.

Mother will be so happy on seeing it.

l think it has lost

its way. Read the letter.

Whosoever reads this, let it be

known that this is the horse..

..of His Majesty, King

Rama's Ashwamedh Yagna.

Ashwamedh Yagna!

Read.. read!

The entire expanse of earth

this horse traverses uncontested..

..is to be henceforth

included in the King's kingdom..

..and all rulers...

All rulers shall

willfully submit their loyalty ..

..to the glory of Ayodhya.

Anyone who dares to stop

the Ashwamedh Horse does so..

..at the peril of bringing

down the wrath of Ayodhya's army..

..upon himself and his land!

Ooooh!

Ashwamedh yagna! This

means Ram did remarry...!!

Now l will surely keep this horse.

just let it go.

Why should l let it go?

l am sure Lord Ram will get a new

horse just like he got a new wife.

Kush, you really need to

rethink this with a calm mind.

Am sure this horse is not here by

itself and the army of Ayodhya..

..will be here any moment!

We are not ready for a war.

Don't tell me you are scared!

Did you find the horse?

Not yet.

You both go to the west.

lt must be here. Go find it.

Listen, you both.. -Did you hear?

They must be near by!

Quick we must hide it!

But, Kush...

No time for ifs and buts.

Are you going to support me in

this fight to protect the honour..

..of our ashram or not?

lf you put it like that,

l don't really have a choice do l?

Take the horse deep into the forest.

Hide it there and stay with it.

What about you two?

Don't worry Sohan. Lets go quickly!

You don't worry and take

care of yourself. See you soon.

Keep looking. Come behind me.
