Humans use choices and rules to create a world where there is more kindness and less cruelty, more right and less wrong.' Our ability to make decisions that serve others more than ourselves is what differentiates humans from animals. Considering the needs of others first is one of the biggest tenets of dharma, the rules of society. Having grown up with this foundation, Sita and Ram present the very definition of a dharmik life. While dharma makes for a civilized and peaceful society, it also leads to Sita making a choice that marks the end of all happiness in her life. Elegantly narrated and illustrated by Devdutt Pattanik, read on to discover Sita's fateful choice and the consequences that make Ramayana the epic it is.
