My take on Episode 4 - Page 2

Haha so true😆 I felt it was a contrast from Dashrath's household though as I sense more of a freedom in Sita and her sisters' upbringing. Freedom in expressing thoughts and emotions as compared to the lifestyle of Ram and his brothers. Just an observation 😳

yes the contract is visible.

Just that Ram and his brother aren't living in palace

So right now no restrictions

Example is them jumping from the falls😉😆

So they are free in Gurukul

But Dashrath would be too worried to let them free😆😆

Same here. His words are so meaningful and thought provoking and he is rightly called as the Maharishi.

P.S. Was it Subala or Sulabha ? The audio in the online videos weren't clear 😛

It's sulbha😆😆

Incredible take yet again. Shweta, wonderful banner.😃

My favorite part of the episode today was Ram and his brothers and the archery test. Ram composed ,and taking all the circumstances into account, before hitting the target was great to watch. Dashrath's chest did swell up with pride ,didn't it?

The makers have done a wonderful job in casting. The actress playing Sulbha was spot on too. Has been an awesome week so far. Looking forward to more.

As we can't miss the episode same way can't miss your take on the episode.

Coming to the episode it was nice. It had a steady flow.
The best part of yesterday' s episode was the archery test. Didn't they show a small hug? Hope they continue from that scene.
Another flawless scene was Raja Janak's reply.
The little Sita is very beautiful and expressive too.

Another nice take from you Abhi...the episode seemed a bit slower than the earlier ones but nevertheless very engaging.

My fav part was when Ram takes the dust to check the direction of the wind ...*WOW*...is what I said in my mind for his sharp brain

Another absolutely fantastic scene was the conversation between Raja Janak and Sulbha 👏

@Abhinaya: Once again nice review.👏
Yes, I likes the dialogues in the show so far, but yesterday its expression more than dialogues. Few touching moments which I felt connected.

Thank you so much Ramya :D

1. Guru vashisht didnt mention the order in which their have to take the test. So it means Ram who gave the opportunity for the brothers to showcase their talent first. If any of his siblings have won the test that would have given the immense happiness for Ram. Nicely observed. Ram would want his brothers to excel, which is why every time one of them missed, his face reflected his dismay.
2. The keen observation of Ram from the mistakes of his brothers. 👏 I just compared with Russians and Americans. It was Russian who tried everything first from sending satellite to reaching moon but Americans who waited and learned from the mistakes of Russian and succeeded in the mission. This was a beautiful scene. How he adjusted the dor and tied it to another end to balance it better, how he took his time to survey his target, and then took his shot.

3. For me the expression in Ram face after winning is not pride, its joy of happiness after completing the task, self-satisfaction. Oh yes!! This is exactly what I felt.It was a feeling of self satisfaction of accomplishing his task successfully.

4. In previous episode we saw the emotion of father, yesterday I saw the Guru in father. Yes, I wondered why Dhasarath always said he worried about Ram because of his curse. I feel its Guru-shishya bond. Usually as we all know though the teacher treats all students as equal in class (mostly 😉), his/her attention turns to the one who actually seems to be more interested in the subject. I saw dhasarth having the same feeling as the guru vashisht, once Ram found the way of success.I love how you interpret the scenes Ramya <3 Beautifully said. I completely second you.
5. OMG, I lack words to describe sita.. I feel the child artist is born to be projected as sita. Word I think her name is Ananya. She is Sita in every way.
6. Once again Janak words outstanding.👏 Yes👏
I don't know about sulbha. Can I be enlighten?

It says that she was the second wife of Sage Yagnavalkya. And she was highly revered as one of the few women scholars of the Vedic period. And I also read this- In the Ramayana we read the account of Sulabha, the great woman Yogini, who came to the court of King Janaka and showed wonderful powers and wisdom, which she had acquired through the practice of Yoga. This shows that women were allowed to practice Yoga.

On lighter note: Its time for me from SP to switch from gita gyan to sita gyan😊

^😆

@Abhinaya yesterday I understood one thing. Sita is nature or daughter of nature. Janak says laws of nature should not be tampered with. Ram is that man who actually showed the world how change can be bought without tampering with nature. The way he hit the arrow was just superb. The symbolism too good not to miss.

Prakriti or nature walked with him in every step and Prakriti was part of him. He was a man blessed by nature and I would say most probably this show will show why Prakriti blessed him, why Prakriti walked with him, Why Prakriti even suffered for him. Why he is called Maryada Purushottam. Is it for respecting Prakriti or nature more than anything else.

Once again a very beautiful post. Yesterday's episode reflected about the upbringing between Dashrath's sons and Janak's daughters. They're carefree while Ram and his brothers are less carefree.

Liked the scene of the archery where Ram gives his siblings the chance to show their skills and hs gets the chance he observes every little thing and then aims and wins too.

Little Sita's association with the mud was significant too. And, Raja Janak's words where he says nothing belongs to him. These words are so true.
