I have narrated Ramayana to my little one when she was much
younger like when she was 2 or 3 years old. During that time I never felt a
difficulty in telling the story to her, may be because I used to tell her only
the outline / highlighted version of the story.
But when I now recently narrated her the whole story, I found
it difficult to reflect Rama as a positive person. I think I am being judgemental about Him, in the first place and that is getting reflected in my narration. I cannot
handle the cross questions from my daughter like why did Rama told Sita to get into
fire OR how can He leave Sita without even informing her into forest that too
when she was pregnant. I tried to tell her in a positive way somehow, but I don’t
think she is satisfied with my answers.
But one thing I realised from the above incident is that my
daughter is growing up like a girl only. :-p
