Love conquers all
Love conquers all
What is love? Heard a lot about love from everyone I came across. The love story of Lord Krishna and Radha Meeting Krishna was famous. Heard a lot from Grand Ma. How Gopis were mad for Krishna.
Then it came to my mind what is love? Is it sacrifice or getting married to the same person you admire for? It's a feeling of bonding between two people who have the same feeling for each other donor wants to put the other in trouble by trying to help out in every situation.
I am liking the mythological character "Urmila " Sita's sister who got married to Rama's brother Laxman and had sacrificed and only a few have known this fact.
Urmila's marriage was done with Laxman Rama's second brother. Sita was the eldest daughter of Raja Janak. The king had arranged swayamvar of his daughters. Sits has choosen Ram. Urmila saw Laxman an angry young man and fell in love at first sight. She garlanded him and accepted him as her husband.
Then all of them went to Ayodhya to stay. Rama was supposed to be the king and there was a game changer. Ram was asked to go to the forest for 14 years and Bharat would be crowned as king. Hearing this everyone in the palace was in a sad state and Sita asked Rama to take her to the forest along with him. Much resistance from Ram not to come didn't affect Sita. She was determined to go. Brother Laxman too was determined to go with Ram to the forest. Urmila wanted to go with Laxman but he denied it. He asked her to take care of the old parents, and the kingdom. If everyone goes who will take responsibility for the kingdom? Urmila agreed to stay back and look after all. She was good at mathematics and learned all the Revenue systems from the officers. Took good care too.
Laxman didn't sleep for 14 years once he went to the forest Nidra Devi came and gave all his Nidra to Urmila she happily took it and slept for the rest of the years. thus sacrifice helped Pacman kill Prince Indradyumnyna of Lanka. He had got a boon that the one who has not slept for 14 years can only kill him and Laxman killed him in the war.
The sacrifice and love of Urmila and Laxman remain unread and unnoticed by people. But for their understanding only they could help each other for a great achievement. Love remains immortal for Laxman and Urmila. Love conquers all.
