Sri Rama visiting Sharabhanga Ashrama

(Ref: Valmiki Ramayana - Aranya Kanda - 5)

Rishi Sharabhanga

• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama visiting the Sharabhanga Ashrama in the Dandakaranya forest.

• Events:
1. Sri Rama visiting Sharabhanga Ashrama: Sri Rama visits the hermitage of sage Sharabhanga. During that time, Indra comes to take the sage to the abode of Brahma as a fruit of his great penance, but the sage refuses since he was waiting for the arrival of Sri Rama. Sage Sharabhanga offers the fruits of his penance to Sri Rama who refuses asking only for a place of stay. Sage Sharabhanga tells Sri Rama to go to sage Suteekshna (following river Mandakini). Then he enters the sacred fire, gives up his body and goes to the abode of Brahma.
