The reason for Ramayan
Ramayan happened because King Dasharath's wife Kaikeyi wanted Sri Ram to go to forest and spend life there. But why did she made a plan like that?
King Dasharath had 3 wives namely ,
1. Kousalya
2. Sumitra
3. Kaikeyi
But the queens did not conceive. Hence , King Dasharath got a fruit from a saint and had been told that if queens eat the fruit , then they will conceive.
Dasharath had given the fruit pieces to his wives. Accordingly , Kousalya gave birth to Sri Ram who was the first among the children . Then Kaikeyi who had given birth to Bharath and Sumitra who had given birth to twins Laxman and Shatrugna.
But according to tradition , Sri Ram had crowned prince since he was the eldest . Bharath was the second among children. But Bharath's mother Kaikeyi had an ambition that her son must be the king. She might had thought that if Sri Ram was away from kingdom , the power will come automatically to her son Bharath who was immediate next to throne.
Because of this plan , Kaikeyi made Sri Ram to go to forest . But Sri Ram was ready to go , but her son Bharath refused to be crowned as king . He had put Sri Ram's footwear on the chair and said that Sri Ram is the actual king and he is just ruling kingdom in his absence.
Likewise, he did. As soon as Sri Ram was back from forest, Bharath handed over the reins of administration to Sri Ram. In Sri Ram's administration , kingdom was often hailed as Rama Rajya .
