RAMLILA
When Rama was 15 years old the great
sage Vishwamitra came to Ayodya. He needed Rama's help in protecting
his prayers from harassment by demons. Taraka was a very powerful demon
who would eat the sages in that area. Although still a young boy Rama
was able to kill her and free the sages from her tyranny. Vishwamitra
was aware of Rama's mission on earth which included freeing the oppressed
from negative forces. This was the beginning of many such encounters.
