What if the Ramayana you know is only one version of the story?
In Jain cosmology, Rama is Padma, a Baladeva — the non-violent hero bound by karma, dharma, and human fate. Unlike the bhakti-era epic where he ascends to divinity, this Rama never attains moksha. He is mortal, righteous, and constrained by cosmic law.
This forgotten retelling strips away devotion and divine intervention, leaving behind a cerebral, haunting exploration of:
✨ The limits of human effort
✨ Karma across lifetimes and its consequences
✨ The meaning of dharma when gods are absent
✨ Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman, and Ravana — reimagined in ways you’ve never heard
From the philosophy of Jainism to the echoes of India’s oldest epics, this episode unearths questions no one dared to ask about Ram, destiny, and the fragility of human struggle.
✨ Crafted with cinematic sound design and immersive storytelling, this is history, myth, and philosophy told like never before — emotional, reflective, and unforgettable.
