Mother Sita - an embodiment of Purity

Mother Sita - an embodiment of Purity


Ramayana is Sitayana as well. In fact Valmiki refers to his work as the Magnificent Story of Mother Sita ( Sitaayaah Charitam Mahat )

If Sri Rama is the embodiment of Dharma (Righteousness), Mother Sita is the embodiment of Pavitrata (Purity).

Valmiki extols Mother Sita Devi with some of the Choicest words and attributes: 

Sri Swaroopini - Personification of the mystic syllable Shri - Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi.

Dharmajna - Knowing what is right ,   Dharma Darshini - Seeing what is right

Yashasvini - Illustrious, Glorious ,  Tapasvini - Ascetic ,  Manasvini - Noble minded 

Madhura Bhashini - Sweet tongued,  Kalyaanatara Vaadini - Lady with an auspicious voice

Sah Dharmachaarini - Virtuous wife, Companion in practice of Dharma

Mother Sita accompanies Sri Rama to the forest
 
First Sri Rama tries to dissuade Sita with the dangers lurking in the Forest, and she pleads,

 yaH tvayaa saha sa svargo nirayo yaH tvayaa vinaa |
iti jaanan paraam priitim gaccha raama mayaa saha || 2-30-18

"An abode which will be shared with you will be Heaven, and that which is shorn of you will be Hell. Knowing this my supreme love, proceed to the forest with me !"
 
Sri Rama quickly corrects himself saying he did not know her mind and agrees 
"Beloved Sita you have arrived at a most welcome decision worthy in every way of my race as well as yours".

 Infact, Sita chooses to even advice Lord Rama, as circumstances demand on Dharma itself, and Sri Rama acknowledges the depth of Sita's clarity in one such instance.."Your words are most appropriate for yourself and favorable also in the interest of the family. You are the follower of my dharma and so more dearer to me than my life".

This discussion is one of the outstanding examples where the wife reminds the husband about Dharma (Righteous Conduct), and the importance of following Dharma even during difficult days times. 

Protective Spirit of Mother Sita

As ordered by Ravana, the demons wrap up old rags around Hanuman's tail, pour oil to it and burn it with fire. The demons tie Hanuman with ropes and conduct him to walk down the entire city, proclaiming to the citizens of Lanka saying that Hanuman is a spy. The female-demons inform Mother Sita about the burning of Hanuman's tail and making him move around the city by demons.
Mother Sita, worried about the safety of Hanuman, starts praying to the fire-god and invokes the blessings of the fire-god to do good to Hanuman. 

yadi asti pati shushruuShaa yadi asti caritam tapaH || 5-53-28
yadi ca asti eka patniitvam shiito bhava hanuumataH |
yadi kashcit anukroshaH tasya mayi asti dhiimataH || 5-53-29
yadi vaa bhaagya sheSham me shiito bhava hanuumataH |

"O Fire-god! If I had served my husband, if I had practiced austerity, if I had been only devoted to my husband alone you may keep Hanuman cool. O Fire god! If wise Sri Rama has some compassion for me, if there is good wishes left for me, let Hanuman be cool.".

Then the intense flame appeared to the fawn-eyed Mother Sita indicating auspiciousness and assuring safety to Hanuman and moving clockwise steadily.  Hanuman realizes to his pleasant surprise that the fire has been kind to him by keeping his tail cool, and also feels that the blessings of Mother Sita to have soothened the fire.
After setting fire to Lanka, it struck Hanuman, 'O, what have I done? What has happened to Mother Sita?' By virtue of asceticism, truth and devotion towards her husband, she may consume the fire, but fire will not burn her.  

Agni Pareeksha - Mother Sita, a Burning fire of Purity 

After the end of the war, Sita is brought to the assembly of citizens. Sita looks intently at Sri Rama, eagerly awaiting to hear him. Sri Rama addresses Sita, not in his role of Sita Pati (husband of Mother Sita) but as Dharmishta - and he needed to clear the name of Sita Devi to the mudance world.

Sita turns to Lakshmana, and asks him to prepare a pyre of fire for her. When Lakshmana prepares a pyre, Mother Sita, after doing circumambulation to Sri Rama and proceeded towards the blazing fire, and spoke the following words:

yathaa maaM shuddhacharitaaM duShTaaM jaanaati raaghavaH |
tathaa lokasya saakShii maaM sarvataH paatu paavakaH || 6-116-26

"As Sri Rama worries about me, though of unimpeachable conduct, let the fire-god the witness of the world, protect me from all sides. As I have never been unfaithful in act, thought and speech to Sri Rama, who knows all the virtues, so let the fire-god protect me."

Thus speaking, Mother Sita walking around the fire-god, with her mind free from hesitation, entered the blazing fire.

Then the Agni-Deva  appears in person from the burning pyre - and spoke to Sri Rama as follows 

vishuddhabhaavaaM niShpaapaaM pratigRihNiiShva maithiliim |
na kiMchirabhidhaatavyaa ahamaajJNaapayaami te || 6-118-10

"Take back Sita, who is sinless, with a pure character. She should not be told anything harsh.I hereby command you."

Rama, whose mind was set on virtue, with a pleasant mind to hear the aforesaid speech, reflected on this, with his eyes, entirely filed with tears of joy.

Sita Rama Sharanam Mama (Lord Sri Rama & Mother Sita are my refuge)

When Hanuman sees Mother Sita for the first time in Ashoka vana after searching for her, he feels immensely rewarded and blessed . He conjures up a mental image of Sri Rama and Mother Sita as a couple and remarks they match each other in all respects. 

What a divine event it is to see them together - and like Hanuman, from a Rama Dhoota,we shall also become the Sita Rama Devotee with the mercy of Mother Sita !

Jai Sita Ram !!!

Keep smiling and be happy for ever.

"GOD!!!! ONE MORE CHANCE PLEASE!!!!"

It's another morning....  I have to go to office.

WHAT???? This is me!!! I shouted seeing my picture in the news paper. But what the HELL is it doing in the obituary column?? Strange!

One sec... Let me think, last night when I went to bed I had severe pain in my chest, but I don't remember anything after that, I think I had sound sleep.

Its morning now, oh... It's already 8:00 AM, where is my coffee? I will be late for office. Where is everyone? I screamed. "I think there is a crowed outside my room, let me check." I said to myself.

So many people... Not all of them are crying. But why are some of them crying. WHAT IS THIS??? I am lying there on a bed in the drawing room!!!! "I AM HERE”. I shouted!!! No one listened. "LOOK I AM NOT DEAD”. I screamed once again!!! No one was interested in me. They were all looking at me lying on the bed.

I went back to my bed room. "Am I dead??"  I asked myself. Where are my wife, my children, my mom-dad,  my friends?

I found them in the next room; all of them were crying and trying to console each other. My wife was crying. She was really looking sad. My little kid was not sure what happened, but he was crying just because his mom was sad.

How can I go without telling my kid that I really love him, I really do care for him....?? How can I go without telling my wife that she is really the most beautiful and the most caring wife in this world..?? How can I go without telling my parents that I am what I am just because of them...??  How can I go without telling my friends that without them, perhaps I would have done wrong things in life- thanks for being there always, when I needed them? And sorry for not being there when they really needed me..

I can see a person standing in the corner and trying to hide his tears. Oh, he was once my best friend, but a small misunderstanding made us part, and we both never let go off our egos.... I went there and offered him my hand, "Dear friend. I just want to say sorry for everything, we are still good friends, please forgive me."

No response from other side, what the hell?? He is still preserving his ego, I am saying sorry. even then!!!  I really don't care for such people. But one sec. It seems he is not able to see me!!!! He did not see my extended hand. My goodness.  AM I REALLY DEAD???

I just sat down next to MYSELF; I also felt like crying.

"OH GOD!!!! PLEASE GIVE ME FEW MORE DAYS." I just want to tell my wife, my parents, my kid and my friends how much I love them.

My wife entered the room, she looks beautiful.  "YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL" I shouted. She didn't hear my words, in fact she has never heard these words from me because I have never told her.

"GOD!!!!" I screamed. a little more time plzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.. I cried.

One more chance please - to hug my child, to make my mom smile. just once, to make my dad feel proud of me at least for a moment..., to say sorry to my friends for everything I have not told and done for them- in spite of that for still being there for me..

Then I looked up and cried!!!!

I shouted.. "GOD!!!! ONE MORE CHANCE PLEASE!!!!"

"You shouted in your sleep," said my wife as she gently woke me up. "Did you have a nightmare?" I was sleeping..??!!! Oh that was just a dream..??!!

My wife was there. She could hear me. This was the happiest moment in my life!! I hugged her and whispered.. "YOU ARE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CARING WIFE IN THIS UNIVERSE.. I REALLY LOVE YOU DEAR"

I just couldn’t understand that in spite of a smile on her face she had tears in her eyes... I was so HAPPY!!!!!

"THANK YOU GOD FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE!!!"

It's not late.. Forget your egos, forget all that has happened....., and just express your love to others.... Be friendly..... Keep smiling and be happy for ever.
