| | Introduction - Lakshmana |
 | | Lakshmana grew up with Sri Rama, as the latter’s constant companion since early Childhood, so much so that it appeared as if he was the outer soul of Sri Rama. | | | Lakshmana came to be recognized as an ideal younger brother. | | | In our tradition, he is extolled in reverence as "Sri Sita Lakshmana Bharata Shatrughna Hanumatsameta Sri Ramachandra Swamine…." (We salute you, Sri Rama, accompanied by Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Hanumanta). |

| | It means Lakshmana is an Amsa (aspect) of Rama and Satrughna is an Amsa of Bharata. | | | Rama looked at Lakshmana as if to say, "Look, why don't you raise that part of earth where Sita is standing to enable her to garland Me." Then Lakshmana indicated to Rama that it was not possible to raise any particular area. | | | Rama and Lakshmana chanted these Mantras and consequently had no hunger, thirst or sleep during their stay in the Siddhashrama. |

| | Lakshmana's dharma as a younger brother is to follow what his elder brother orders him to do. | | | When Lakshmana explains that this is a trick, Sita tells him that she will throw herself into a fire and die if he does not help Rama. | | | He decides to consult with Mareecha, his uncle, who now lives as an ascetic in the woods. |

| | Although Lakshmana had a spark of Divinity in him, this could come out and be seen only in the Divine presence of Rama. | | | Again, on the occasion when Sita returned from Lanka and when she was preparing to jump into the fire to prove her purity, Lakshmana was asked to prepare the fire. | | | When this news was conveyed to Vasishta, the Guru, he thought for a moment and tried to understand the situation by his divine vision. |
