Bal Ramayan- The Battle Between Jatayu and Ravana



During the time of the Ramayana, when Ravana abducted Mother Sita and took her in his Pushpaka Vimana, heading towards Lanka, a brave bird named Jatayu saw Ravana. Jatayu was a dear friend of Lord Rama and a powerful Garuda. He witnessed Ravana abducting Sita and immediately resolved to save her.

Jatayu said to Ravana, "Oh Ravana, leave Mother Sita. You have committed an unrighteous act, and I cannot tolerate this." Ravana ignored Jatayu's words and continued on his way. Then Jatayu, with all his might, attacked Ravana.

A fierce battle ensued between Jatayu and Ravana. Jatayu tried his best to stop Ravana's Pushpaka Vimana and save Sita. He attacked Ravana with his beak and claws, attempting to thwart his plans.

But Ravana was very powerful. He attacked Jatayu with his sword, and Jatayu was gravely injured. Ravana continued on his path with Sita, while Jatayu fell to the ground, severely wounded.

Some time later, Lord Rama and Lakshmana arrived there while searching for Sita. They found Jatayu in a wounded state. Jatayu narrated the entire incident of Sita's abduction by Ravana to Lord Rama and then, receiving Lord Rama's blessing in his final moments, he passed away heroically.

Jatayu's bravery and sacrifice deeply moved Lord Rama, making him even more determined to rescue Sita.

This story teaches us that we should adopt the path of courage and sacrifice to protect truth and righteousness. Jatayu's bravery and loyalty always inspire us.
