In this last episode of a two-part segment of the Voice of Bengaluru, host Sowjanya continues the tale of the two brothers, Vaali and Sugreeva.  Betrayed by Vaali, Sugreeva fled from Kishkindha and eventually met Rama, the hero of the Ramayana. Sugreeva and Rama formed an alliance, and Rama promised to help Sugreeva defeat Vaali and regain his rightful place as the king of Kishkindha. Rama and Sugreeva devised a plan to defeat Vaali. Rama would hide behind a tree and shoot an arrow at Vaali while Sugreeva would distract him. The plan worked, and Vaali was killed by Rama's arrow. Many people view Vaali Sugreeva as a story of brotherhood and loyalty, as well as the importance of not letting power and strength corrupt one's judgment. The story also shows the consequences of betrayal and how it can lead to the downfall of even the most powerful individuals. Vaali Sugreeva continues to be a popular tale in Indian mythology, and it has been retold in various forms over the years, including in literature, films, and television shows. The story is often used as a metaphor for political power struggles and the importance of unity and loyalty in maintaining a stable society. Subscribe to this podcast and also follow us here.
