The Divine Story of Sethu Bandhanam – The Bridge Built by Faith
After Ravana abducted Mother Sita and took her to Lanka, Lord Rama, accompanied by Lakshmana, Hanuman, and the mighty Vanara Sena, reached the shores of the vast ocean. The sea stretched endlessly before them, making Lanka seem impossible to reach.
Lord Rama first prayed to Samudra Deva, the Lord of the Ocean, seeking a peaceful passage. When the ocean remained silent, Rama prepared to release a powerful celestial arrow.
Realizing the Lord's determination, Samudra Deva appeared and advised Rama that the bridge could be built by Nala and Neela, two Vanara warriors blessed with a unique divine boon. As construction began, thousands of Vanaras gathered rocks, mountains, and trees.
According to cherished tradition, every stone bearing the sacred name of "Sri Rama" floated upon the waters instead of sinking. With unwavering devotion, the Vanara Sena worked together tirelessly, transforming the impossible into reality. Even a tiny squirrel wished to help.
It rolled in the sand and shook the grains onto the growing bridge. Though its contribution seemed small beside the mighty boulders carried by the Vanaras, Lord Rama lovingly stroked the squirrel's back, blessing its sincere devotion. Tradition says the three stripes seen on Indian palm squirrels today are a reminder of Rama's gentle touch. In just a few days, the magnificent Rama Setu stretched across the ocean, connecting Bharat to Lanka.
The bridge became not only a pathway for Rama's army but also an eternal symbol of faith, unity, selfless service, and divine purpose. It was through this sacred bridge that Lord Rama crossed into Lanka, defeated Ravana, rescued Mother Sita, and restored righteousness to the world.
This sacred golu bommai preserves that timeless message—that no challenge is impossible when every effort is guided by faith, unity, and devotion to a noble cause.
