Shabari lived with the Sage in his hermitage, cleaned and looked after the hut and the Sage. Sage Matanga took in Shabari and told her to clean, take care and look after the hermitage. He took her as his disciple and student in spite of all the other Yogis and Sages looking down on him for taking in an outcaste as a student. Finally, she reached the hermitage of Sage Matanga who was impressed by her inundate interests in attaining the true wisdom. They thought she wasn’t worthy of their teachings. She was rejected by all the Gurus as she belonged to a lower caste, the Nishadas. She spent long years searching for a Guru to gain Brahma Jnana (ultimate wisdom). Shabari was devasted by the thought of killing so many animals.
Shabari’s father planned to get her married and hunted thousands of goats and sheep for her marriage dinner feast. Shabari, a young daughter of a hunter who belonged to Nishadha tribal community was a kind hearted woman. He also blamed Kaikeyi for his father’s death and decided to never call her his mother again. Dasharatha died after a few days and Bharata denied the throne saying it belonged to his elder brother Rama. But things did not go as Kaikeyi imagined. Laksmana, Rama’s younger brother and Sita, his wife joined him. Kaikeyi asked Dasharatha, to give the throne to her son, Bharata, further she demanded that Rama must go on an exile for 14 years to the forest. When Dasharatha decided to coronate Rama to his throne, Kaikeyi grew jealous of Kaushalya, who was going to be the queen and decided to use the two wishes she was granted. Kaikeyi saved Dasahratha’s life to which Dasharatha agreed to fulfil any of the two wishes she asks. Dasharatha was badly injured in the war and fighting death. Long ago, when Dasaharatha fought in a war, to which he took Kaikeyi, his favourite wife along with him. But Sri Rama was the most favourite son of Dasaharatha. Later the other two wives also gave birth to more sons. But none of his wives could provide Dasharatha with an heir until Kausalya, his first wife gave birth to Sri Rama. Dasharatha had 3 wives, Kausalya, Sumitra and Kaikeyi. Dasharatha, the father of Shri Rama was one of the great warriors and kings of Bharat. Shri Rama, the seventh incarnation of Lord Vishnu, is the protagonist of one of the two greatest Sanskrit epics, The Ramayana.
