See it's nearly sure that Crown prince or Yuvaraj becomes the next king. Also being the eldest it was more or less known that he would ascend to the throne. So Keikayi's words were from there (she says Bharat will become king after Ram showing she had limited knowledge of politics)

But the ceremony is needed to officiate any post that was about to happen for Ram, do you really think, Dashrath would have retired(meaning leaving for Vanaprastha) in absence of Bharat and Shatrughan? It was just formal event which was to happen

Hmm that's true

I don't know where I heard Ram's Rajyabhisheik will happen that's why I am getting confused

And I just assumed Dashrath ji would enjoy his retirement life

If Bharat was crowned as Yuvraj then also the rule of 13-14 years can be applied right? Someone mentioned a rule by which if hier to the throne did his duties for 13-14 years the crown is rightfully his and nobody to make a claim on it

I don't know. But that's very dark. Hope that wasn't the case

But he didn't have crown na, only crown of Yuvaraj and king has right to change Yuvaraj

Nhi I meant fir Bharat ji 14 years tak Yuvaraj hote, not the king, to crown Cheenne ki bhi zaroorat nhi hai..

King ka crown na 14 years k baad nhi cheen sakte, Yuvaraj and next king to king ko decide karna hai

Kaikeyi's plan was definitely flawed but it was destined to happened so it did.....but do you think Lav Kush Kand actually happened? Many say that it's an interpolation

I meant the books I have read are in English and you keep mentioning Valmiki Ramayan...the OG Ramayana is most likely in a different script....so whatever is translated into Hindi is a translation. Just like whatever is translated into English.

Also I don't believe that Forest of enchantment is a translation...just putting a disclaimer. Neither is the Ram Chandra Series by Amish. Just putting a disclaimer since there is so much nit picking.

Also Ram charit manas is in Avadhi.

Gosh...a lot is being misunderstood.....

The OG Ramayan is Valmiki Ramayana. It is in Sanskrit(language not script)

it is translated to multiple languages Hindi, English, Telugu, Tamil, German and many others. The original anguage of Ramayana is Sanskrit

I have read both English and Hindi translations of Valmiki Ramayan (and have basic understanding of Sanskrit too so have read Sanskrit verses too)

I don't think translation would affect a lot, except a few words here and there, overall all translation are same

Obviously Forester enchantment is not a translation neither is Tulasidas RamCharitManas they are rewriting with multiple additions.

The translation of Valmiki Ramayan is clearly mentioned as translation of Valmiki Ramayan

I mean how did those books come into discussion here?

And I know Ram Charit Manas is in Avadhi

I still didn't understand what has that to do with Hindi language. You don't need to know Hindi to read Valmiki Ramayana, you can read the translation in your language of preference

The Uttarkand and Bal Kands are definitely composed later. Language is different.

But religious schools assume them a part of Valmiki Ramayana so not sure what to assume
