Ramayan - Balkand (Part 1) marks the auspicious beginning of the divine epic, describing the birth of Bhagwan Shri Ram in Ayodhya. King Dasharath is filled with joy as his four sons, Ram, Bharat, Lakshman, and Shatrughn, are born, and the entire kingdom celebrates this divine blessing with happiness and devotion.
As time passes, the princes grow into virtuous and disciplined young boys and are sent to Gurukul, where they receive education in scriptures, ethics, warfare, and righteous living. Balkand beautifully highlights their upbringing, character, and the values instilled in them from a very young age.
The episode then introduces Rishi Vishwamitra, who arrives at Ayodhya to seek King Dasharath’s help. Troubled by rakshasas disturbing his sacred yagna, the sage requests that Ram and Lakshman accompany him to protect his ashram. Though hesitant at first, this decision becomes the beginning of Shri Ram’s public divine mission.
Narrated in easy-to-understand Hindi, this episode gently introduces listeners to the world of the Ramayan, setting the foundation for faith, devotion, and the timeless journey of dharma.
