vrlndavan: @hindumythologyevent day 9 - Lakshmana, Ramanuja, Bharatanuja, Saumitra (sources) Known for his devotion, his loyalty, his valour, and his temper, Lakshmana is Lord Rama’s younger brother, believed to be an incarnation of Sheshanaga/Adishesha/Anantashesha - King of the nagas; the thousand headed snake associated with Lord Vishnu. He’s married to Sita’s younger sister Urmila (believed to be an incarnation of Naga Lakshmi), and yet he faithfully follows his brother Rama and Sita into the forest for their fourteen years of exile, willing to give up his sleep,his comfort, and his life, for them. He plays a pivotal role in the events of the Ramayana; Surpanakha’s insult, Indrajit’s death, and though not present in the original text - the Lakshman Rekha. In fact, it’s for him that Hanuman lifts up the Mountain Dronagiri to obtain the Sanjeevani herb that would save his life. While not much is known about his character, I’d highly recommend these fics if you’re interested (1)(2)(3) -- source link
