As we progress further into the story we reach the part that Dasharatha makes Rama his new succesor
This does not sit well for Manthara (Kaikeyi's servant) and convinces her that it would be a disaster.
Kaikeyi then uses two promises that were owed to her by Dasharatha. The first one was that Bharata be the new king, and that Rama get sent into the forest of exile for 14 years!
This part of the story was pretty much the same for. It is more clear now that I can read through things for a second time. A part that interests me is when Rama is banished for 14 years. He goes not even fight.If I were him I would be really scary.
Before they departed form Ayodhya, Rama, and Sita gave away all of their possessions.
Sumantra tells Dasharatha about Ram's departure and he starts to remember how Rama as a boy.
Dsharatha them dies.
I am having a hard time trying to find something new to put into my diary! Most of it is just follwoing the same footsteps

Rama with Sita and others

Here's something to think about the second time around: when you read the story the first time, you didn't know what was going to happen in the end... now you know, so you can see how that affects your perceptions of the story this time around, whether you see things differently, what now seems significant in light of what is going to come (KARMA!), which you didn't know about before. :-)
