Guest guest Posted March 8, 2003 Report Share Posted March 8, 2003 Sree Raama Namaha: Respected Bhaktaas, At the outset please accept my apologies for my ignorance. This question reg. Kaikeyi has been nagging me for quite some time and I request the learned members of this group to please help clarify. As I was reading some older posts related the translations of slokams from Ramayana, Kaikeyi was mentioned as an evil person. In my mind she is not an evil person but only someone who made a mistake. It was only due to her that Sree Ramamchandra went to the forests and eventually rid this earth of the Raakshasaas and more importantly demonstrated to mankind the most exquisite qualities of Divinity. For me Ramayana cannot have been any other way. Nothing else can ever be better than the way it turned out. If Sree Ramachandra had continued to be a King instead, we would not have had much to learn from Ramamyana. This was all because of Queen Kaikeyi. So then why is she portrayed as such an evil person? Wasn't she merely doing as Lord Vishnu had planned for anyway (Divine Will)? The great poets who wrote the great verses regarding her cannot be wrong. Where is my thinking going wrong? I request the learned members to please help me understand this correctly. Sree Raama Saranam: -Sandhya Chandarlapaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
