Ramayana Untold Story: Many incidents of Ramayana teach us important lessons of life. One such incident occurs when Hanuman ji was carrying the entire Dronagiri mountain to Lanka to save Lakshman’s life. During this time, when he passed over Ayodhya, he had a small conflict with Bharat. But do you know why Bharat did not use the deadly arrow to kill Hanuman ji? Let us know.
When there was darkness in the sky of Ayodhya
Lakshman ji was unconscious in the battlefield and it was necessary to deliver Sanjeevani herb before sunrise. Hanuman ji was flying fast through air carrying a huge mountain. When he passed over Ayodhya, seeing his huge shadow, Bharat felt that perhaps some illusive demon was carrying a mountain to attack or destroy Ayodhya.
Why did you shoot an arrow that bore no fruit?
Bharat was a skilled warrior, if he wanted he could have ended that crisis with a single arrow. But he shot an arrow without a tip, which is also called Sayak, at Hanumanji. There were two main reasons behind this. Bharat was not completely sure that there was any enemy flying. They felt that if he was a friend, then firing a deadly arrow would lead to disaster. King Dasharatha had given a lesson to Bharat in his childhood.
Dashrath had unknowingly killed Shravan Kumar by firing a piercing arrow, because he thought that some wild animal was drinking water. That one mistake had given the entire Raghuvansh the curse and sorrow of the loss of their son. Dasharatha had explained to Bharat, son, never shoot a deadly arrow until your doubts are completely dispelled.
Ram’s name saved me from disaster
As soon as Bharat’s arrow hit Hanuman ji, he fell down chanting Ram-Ram. Bharat was astonished on hearing the name of Ram. He ran to Hanuman ji and apologized to him. When he came to know that it was Hanuman, the son of Pawan and that he was going for the work of his beloved brother Ram, Bharat had tears in his eyes. Bharat, using his discretion and learning from his father’s experience, prevented a huge sin from happening. If Bharat had fired a deadly arrow that day, it would have been impossible to save Lakshman’s life.
