Was Kaikeyi ever truly the villain?
In Jain retellings of the Ramayana, her decision wasn’t born of envy — but of clarity.
She sends Rama away not out of jealousy, but because the old king could no longer rule.
And Rama accepts exile — not as punishment, but as practice.

In this world, detachment is not tragedy. It is dignity.
No miracles, no divine loopholes — only karma, discipline, and the long work of the soul untying its own knots.
Even the birth of great beings, like Padma-Rama, follows natural law — proof that the greatest miracles are moral, not magical.

✨ Crafted like a Nat Geo documentary, this episode blends cinematic sound design with haunting storytelling — an immersive journey into forgotten dharma.

Expect:
Ancient reinterpretations, moral paradoxes, and a truth that challenges how we see Kaikeyi, power, and renunciation.
