Lord Rama's Death : Another Interesting Story

Lord Rama's Death | How Did Lord Rama Die



We all are familiar with the epic Ramayana, but many of us are not aware of the incident of Lord Rama'a death.
Every single creature that takes birth on this earth, has to one day die and that is why the Earth is known as Mrityuloka (The Land of Death).
Lord Rama had returned Ayodhya and ruled his kingdom well.
After getting relieved from all his duties, Rama knew his time had come and he should now return to Vaikuntha, but Hanuman was not at all ready to afford separation from Lord Rama. He guarded Lord Rama so securely that Yama, the God of death, could not enter the Kingdom of Ayodhya.
Lord Rama tried convincing Hanuman to let him go, but nothing worked.
To let Yama enter Ayodhya, Rama had to distract Hanuman. So Rama dropped his ring in a crack of his palace and requested Hanuman to fetch that ring. Hanuman obeyed him and reduced his body to the size of an insect and flew into the crack only to discover that, the crack was actually an entrance to Nagaloka, the land of the snakes.
As he entered the Nagalok, he was questioned by Vasuki, the King of Nagalok.
Hanuman explained him the reason of his visit to Nagaloka and told him about the ring he has to bring back.
Vasuki pointed to a mountain of rings, “Among those is one of the ring. Please find the  correct one and complete you duty”.
Hanuman quickly rushed to the mountain. He picked up the first ring and it was the one which he had to find. He then picked another ring. To his surprise, even that ring was similar. He was now confused and looked at Vasuki.
“I will explain it to you”, Vasuki said.
“There are four Phases of time named as Yugas, Satayuga, Treyta Yuga, Dwaparyuga and Kaliyuga. In every second quarter or Treytayuga, Lord Vishnu incarnates in the form of Lord Rama and takes birth in Ayodhya, then at last, one day his ring falls into the my land of serpents and you come down to take that ring back, and I tell him the same story everytime. By ths time Lord Rama dies and goes back to Vaikuntha.
The mountain of rings indicates the number of times this incident has repeated. Each time this cycle repeats, another ring is added to the mountain”
Lord Hanuman realizes that he had stuck in the loop of time.
