Shownotes
The search for Sita took Rama and Lakshmana deep into the forest kingdom of Kishkinda. There they met Hanuman, the great Vanara warrior. Vanaras were a divine race of magical beings - neither human nor animal.
To get the help of Sugreeva, the deposed king of the Vanaras, Rama had to aid in the defeat of his brother Vali. This caused a great moral dilemma for Rama.
Will he ignore his guiding moral principles by shooting at an enemy from the shadows? How does he reconcile this with his desperate need to find Sita?
This episode of our series on Ramayana deals with the killing of Vali and the pact with Sugreeva.
