- Mother of Vanarraja ValiBrahmaji built a divine lake for himself and gave the task of guarding it to Riksharaj. Rikshraj decided to take a bath in that lake. When he came out of the lake, he had turned into a beautiful woman. Around the same time, Indradev was passing through and saw the most beautiful woman near the lake and got infatuated by her beauty. The son he had with Riksharaj in the form of a woman became Bali, the king of Kishkindha. When Suryadev saw Riksharaj in woman form, he also could not control himself and the son Riksharaj got from Suryadev was called Sugreev, who later helped Bhagavan Ram in His quest for Sita ji.

- Why did Vali want to kill Sugreev?When Mayavi got to know about his younger brother’s death at the hands of Vali, he decided to attack Vali to avenge his brother’s death. When Mayavi realised Vali’s strength, he ran away and hid inside a cave. Vali went after him, instructing his younger brother Sugreev to wait for him outside. After many days when Sugreev saw a stream of blood coming out from the cave, he assumed that Mayavi had somehow managed to kill Vali. He closed the opening of the cave with a giant rock and became king of Kishkindha. When a victorious Vali came out of the cave and found out that Sugreev had become king of Kishkindha, he got really angry and ran towards Sugreev with the intent to kill him. Sugreev ran for his life and started living in Rishyamook mountain, when Vali could not set foot because of the curse from Matang rishi. During the duel with Dundubhi, when Vali was throwing Dundubhi around his blood drops fell on Matang rishi performing Yajna in Rishyamook mountain. When he saw the blood and, in his anger, he cursed that whoever has caused this, his head will explode, if he comes near this mountain. That is why Sugreev was safe from Vali living in that mountain.

- Rishi AshtawakraStory of Ashtavakra is narrated in great epics Ramayan and Mahabharat. Astavakra is the son of Rishi Kahoda and Sujatha Daughter of Rishi Aruni. He was born with physical deformities and hence got the name Ashtavakra. When he was very young his father went to Raja Janak’s place to participate in a debate against renowned scholar Vandin/Vanin, son of water God Varun. His father lost the debate and was immersed in water as condition of the debate. When Ashtvakra was ten years old, his mother told him about his father’s fate and the kid went to meet Raja Janak. Janak first tested the boy and found him very knowledgeable. He then went on with the debate against Vandin and won the argument. After Ashtavakra won the debate, his father and other drowned scholars were released by Varun dev. He is credited with writing of Ashtavakra Gita, which mostly talks about nature of God and metaphysical nature of existence. There is an interesting story behind Ashtvakra’s physical deformities. When he was inside his mother’s womb, his father was teaching him verses from Vedas and boy would correct him from inside the womb. This irked his father a lot and once out of irritation he cursed the boy to be born with deformities. After Ashtavakra rescues his father, his father is very impressed with his young son and his knowledge and accepts his mistake in cursing him. On their way back from Janak palace, he asks Ashtvakra to take a dip in a divine lake. After taking the dip in the lake, he is cured of his deformities and becomes normal again.

- Makaradhwaj, The son of Hanuman jiEveryone knows Hanuman ji was celibate for all his life, however there is a mention of his son in various regional retellings of Ramayan. When Hanuman ji was returning from Lanka after putting it on fire, he took a dip in the ocean. A drop of his sweat was swallowed by a giant fish (sea creature). This fish was captured by Ahi Raavan, the king of Pataal-lok. When the fish was cut open mighty hero Makaradhwaj appeared. Ahi Raavan, impressed by his strength, took him under his wings and gave him the task of guarding the gates of his palace in Pataal-lok. When Shri Ram and Lakshman were kidnapped by Ahi Raavan and taken to Pataal-lok, Hanuman ji went to rescue them and was confronted by Makaradhwaj. Hanuman ji was confused to know that he was his son. However, Makaradhwaj was loyal to Ahi Raavan, so he fought against his father and was eventually defeated. After Ahi Raavan was killed by Hanumaan ji, he made Makaradhwaj king of Pataal-lok, with the blessings of Shri Ram. Jethwa clan of Gujrat who ruled Kathiawar and Porbandar regions are believed to be descendants of Makaradhwaj and worship Hanuman ji as their Ishta-devta. Their Royal flag had image of Hanuman ji on it. Temples of Makaradhwaj can be found in Gujrat, MP, Rajasthan and Maharashtra. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices8|2M

- Revenge of Shurpanakha from RaavanShurpanakha was the youngest child of rishi Vishrava from his second wife Kaikeshi. She was the sister of Raavan. She was very beautiful and was called Minakshi (one who has eyes like fish). She fell in love with a Danava prince of the Kalakeya clan named Vidyutjihva/Dushtabudhi and married him against the wishes of her brother Raavan. Once after conquering the underworld Raavan was visiting his sister’s place and got into an argument with Vidyutjihva and killed him. Nobody had the power to confront Raavan. Minakshi was distraught but she also couldn’t do anything. She became Shurpanakha and started roaming in the woods with her relatives Khar and Dushan but she could never forgive her brother for making her a widow and killing the person she loved. Some narratives suggest that Shurpanakha deliberately instigated Raavan to kidnap mata Sita because she was convinced that only Shri Ram was capable of killing Raavan and take revenge from her brother for making her a widow.
