The Story of Rama and Seeta<br />
DASHARATHA<br />
Many years ago there lived in India, a king called Dasharatha.<br />
He was a very good king, but he was very unhappy because he had no children.<br />
So he prayed and prayed until God granted him 4 sons.<br />
<strong>Ki</strong>ng Dasharatha had three queens.<br />
The eldest Queen Kaushalaya became the mother of Rama.<br />
Queen Kaikeyee became the mother of Bharat.<br />
Queen Sumitra became the mother of twins, Shatrughna and Laxman.<br />
Seeta was a beautiful princess.<br />
SEETA<br />
Her father, <strong>Ki</strong>ng Janak, wanted a husband for Seeta worthy of her good qualities and<br />
beauty. Therefore the king invited suitors to his court.<br />
<strong>Ki</strong>ng Janak promised that he would give Seeta in marriage to one, who could pick up,<br />
string and break a very heavy Bow.<br />
Sri Rama married Seeta after succeeding at picking and breaking the heavy bow.<br />
Now let me tell you about Queen Kaikeyee.<br />
KAIKEYEE<br />
I already told you that she was one of the queens of <strong>Ki</strong>ng Dasharatha, who was Ram’s<br />
father.<br />
Queen Kaikeyee had saved <strong>Ki</strong>ng Dasharatha’s life.<br />
The <strong>Ki</strong>ng urged Kaikeyee to ask for anything that she desired in return.<br />
Kaikeyee however said, that she would ask for what she wanted, when the time was right.
