FAQs

What dharma-ideal is reflected when Rama points out Guha and Śṛṅgiberapura to Sītā?

It reflects dharma as gratitude and fidelity to righteous friendship: Rama remembers and honors Guha, a devoted ally, showing that virtue includes acknowledging those who stood by truth and duty.

How do “yūpamālinī” and the blossoming forests relate to satya and dharma in the Ramayana context?

The yūpa (sacrificial posts) evokes Vedic rite and lawful order (dharma), while the serene, blossoming landscape frames Rama’s truthful remembrance of their journey and relationships—satya expressed through accurate, respectful recollection.
