Real meaning of Ayodhya and it's greatness | Why Ayodhya is so great





Once, on being asked by sage Bharadwaja and few others about the grandeur of Ayodhya, sutaji replied--' Ayodhya, a sacrosanct city is based on the bank of river Sarayu. It is the very city where the famous king Ikshvaku ruled once upon a time. The term Ayodhya means unconquerable and consists of three root letters:

It is a place where Bhagavan Vishnu has his abode for eternity and does not leave it even for a moment.

According to the scriptures Ayodhya is based on Sudarshana chakra. It is well expanded in the radius of one yojana.

It's southern up to one yojana from the bank of Sarayu and

It's northern boundary up to one yojana starting from the bank of river Tamasa.

In ancient times, a brahmin named Vishnu Sharma had performed an austere penance at Ayodhya. Bhagavan Vishnu had appeared after becoming pleased by him and had created a holy place by digging up the earth with his Sudarshana chakra. Anybody, who takes a holy dip in Chakrateertha becomes absolved of all his sins.

Sri Brahma Deva ---> Prajapati Marichi ---> Kashyapa Brahma / Kashyapa Maharshi ---> Vivasvan / Surya Deva ---> Manu ---> Ishvaku ---> after many great kings it was Ambarisha ---> like that it continues then we got the great Satya Harishchandra ---> Sagara Maharaja ---> later it was Dileepa ---> Bhagiratha ---> again after sometime it was the great ---> Raghu Maharaja ---> then again it was Aja Maharaja ---> Dahsaratha ---> then it was Bhagavan Sri Rama Chandra ---> Lava & Kusha ---> later it was Nala ---> finally it was Sumitra.



Sumitra was the last king of Ayodhya from Suryavamsha family tree. In the fourth century BC, emperor Mahapadma Nanda of the Nanda Dynasty forces Sumitra to leave Ayodhya. He goes to Rohtas with his sons. His son Kurma establishes his rule over Rohtas. Sumitra was the last king of Ayodhya from Suryavamsha family tree.

Dear mitragan, please understand these all are not ordinary people. These are all svayam Devatagan / Demigods and off course Sri Rama Chandra Prabhu is svayam Bhagavan Sri Hari / Sri Vishnu.

We have always been attacked by rakshasas in the past. Remember Hiranyakashipu, Hiranyaaksha, Ravana, Kamsa, Duryodhana, Dantavakra, Jarasandha, to name a few. All these are enemies of Bhagavan Sri Vishnu.

Even today we have rakshasas everywhere. They want us to stop the great Sanatana Dharma. They want to kill the bhaktas of Sri Vishnu. They want to have their own irreligious religion to be established in our great nation Bharata. Don't fall to all these. Be strong, be bold, be wise and let our great Sanatana Dharma prosper as it used to be earlier.
