EPILOGUE

You should look upon Raama, Lakshmana and Hanumaan like your own fathers and elder brothers who are by your side ever eager to help you. Grow to be like Bharata, Lakshmana and Hanumaan, good and brave souls, full of love and strength.

Mothers too, I know, have been reading this story with joy. This has been a great encouragement to me. They can under stand why I have told the story in simple words and short sentences for the sake of our children. Everything we do, we do for the sake of our children, do we not? Only women can realise and re-live the experiences and feelings of Seeta.

The story of Seeta as told by Vaalmeeki and Kamban can be fully appreciated only by women. Only they can fully appreciate the courage of Jataayu and the prowess of Hanumaan. Seeta's sorrows have not ended with the Raamaayana. They go on, still, in the lives of our women.
