- Rama was a God designed to defeat demons
- The God's couldn't destroy them because some at special protections against all things but humans
- Rama was an obedient man
- Traveled to several countries
- Got to return home after Mithila, where he found his wife
- Sita and Rama were originally husband and wife in their God forms
- Felt the forgotten connection despite being incarnated
- Sita was denied marriage by her father until a man could destroy Shiva's bow due to a deal he made with the God's
- Only Rama could destroy Shiva's bow
- Shiva is an uncontrollable God
- The entire kingdom of Ayodhyra came for the wedding
- The other brothers found wives in Mithila as well
- The king, Dasaratha, plans a grand festival to crown Rama his successor
- Dasaratha has bad feelings about his plans of Rama's ceremony because of karma catching up to him for accidentally killing a boy in the woods in earlier years
- Tells him what to do tonight and to no matter what go through with the ceremony
- Rama follows instructions perfectly
- Dasaratha goes to his late wife's, Kaikeyi, palace where he finds her in a bad mood
- Kaikeyi uses her 2 open ended promises to force the King's hand in the re-crowning of King from Rama, Kausalya's son, to her son, Bharatha
- Kaikeyi also exiles Rama which Rama obeys without question to help maintain his father's honor
- Rama's departure kills the King
- Bharatha is summoned to Ayodhyra and he comes to find the mess his mother created
- As Rama refuses to return until his exile terms are met, Bharatha promises Rama to rule the land for only 14 years until Rama is willing and able to take his rightful place as King of Ayodhyra
- Bharatha says that he isn't even going to go into Ayodhyra during those 14 and sets up house outside of town
