Episode 21 of the conversations between Yogita Pant and Anil Chawla describes the events of the night when Maharaj Dashrath breathed his last. Kausalya is immersed in sorrow and is very harsh on him, blaming him for the departure of Ram, Laxman and Sita. Maharaj Dashrath begs her with folded hands to not hurt him anymore. Kausalya accepts her mistake and begs pardon. Maharaj is pleased and goes to sleep. He gets up in the middle of the night remembering his past mistake of killing a rishi who had come to the river to take water for his old parents. He also remembers the curse that had been cast upon him by the rishi’s old parents – of dying in pain suffering from separation of beloved son. The pain is unbearable for Maharaj. He moves to the next world crying out for Ram.  (Ref. Chapters 61, 62, 63, 64 Ayodhya Kand, Shreemad Valmikiy Ramayan)

श्रीमद्वाल्मीकीय रामायण विश्व का  प्राचीनतम ग्रन्थ है। इसे आदिग्रन्थ कहा गया है। इसमें राम के जीवन का विस्तारपूर्वक वर्णन किया गया है। इसमें राम का चित्रण एक ऐसे मनुष्य के रूप में किया गया है जो संघर्ष करता है, परिश्रम करता है, जीवन के द्वन्द्वों का सामना करता है, अपने सहयोगियों एवं निकटस्थ व्यक्तियों से चर्चा करता है और विद्वतजनों से मार्गदर्शन प्राप्त करता है। वह धर्म एवं  आदर्श के पथ से कभी हटता नहीं है। उन्हें मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम कहा गया है। उनके जीवन का हर प्रसंग शिक्षाप्रद है, प्रेरणादायक है। चर्चा की इस श्रृंखला का उद्देश्य दर्शकों को राम के जीवन से परिचित कराना है। राम के जीवन को जान कर, समझ कर और आचरण में उतार कर हम अपने जीवन को सुखद एवं समृद्ध बना सकते हैं। समस्त सुधीजनों को अनेकानेक शुभकामनाओं के साथ विनम्रतापूर्वक समर्पित।
