022: Vibheeshana's Sharanaagati to Rama Modern Day Dharma

In this part, Yuddha Khanda starts. Rama along with Sugreeva, Jambavanta, Hanuman etc were discussing on the stratergy to reach Lanka asap. Rama wakes up very early next morning and starts walking towards the sea closest to reach Lanka. They take 5 days in total.

Meanwhile in Ravana’s court, Ravana and his ministers are speculating on what if more such monkeys land on Lanka.. would they really be able to handle? Kumbhakarna advices Ravana should not have taken Sita this far. VIbheeshana adds his observations and criticizes Ravana for abducting Sita. He insists Ravana approach Rama, make friends with him and return Sita with great respect.

Ravana is angered by Vibheeshana’s statements. Indrajeet criticizes his uncle to be a coward. Ravana ends up kicking his own brother. VIbheeshana immediately leaves the court and heads towards Rama along with 4 of his trusted friends.

Vibheeshana reaches the shores of the sea where Rama and his army are camped. He requests the monkeys to inform Rama of his arrival and that he’s willing to help Rama. Despite lots of opposing suggestions, Rama takes Hanuman’s advice and accepts friendship with Vibheeshana.

Rama also coronates Vibheeshana as the King of Srilanka
