Sri Rama sending Angada as messenger

(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 41)

• Meditation: I meditate on Sri Rama sending Angada as messenger to Ravana.

• Sri Rama besieging Lanka: Sri Rama saw many omens of destruction (of both demons and vanaras). The winds were blowing harsh. The earth and the mountains were shaking. Clouds were appearing cruel and shedding rains mixed with blood. The sun at dusk was appearing like fireball. The animals and birds were crying. The moon was appearing reddish. The orb of the Sun was having black marks. Crows, eagles and vultures were flying low and the jackals were howling. Sri Rama climbed down the Suvela mountain and marched forward with the armies of vanaras. Reaching the city of Lanka the huge army of vanaras besiege it from all sides.
(Valmiki Ramayana - Yuddha Kanda - 41)

• Sri Rama sending Angada as messenger: Sri Rama then sent Angada to Ravana with a stern message. He gave the message that the arrogance of Ravana by which he tormented the sages and celestials will now be subdued. Due to abduction of Devi Sita he will now be slain, and then slain by him he will attain the region of gods. He asked Ravana to demonstrate the same power and courage by which he abducted Devi Sita. If he does not return Sita, he will make the world free of demons. Vibhisana who has come to him will now become the king. Angada reached the palace of Ravana and delivered the message. Ravana became enraged and ordered the killing of Angada. When four demons tried to seize Angada, he caught hold of them and flung them on the ground. Then Angada ascended the roof of the palace and shattered it with his feet. Then creating agitation among the demons he returned to Sri Rama.
