About the Ahalya story...
Lord Indra was not a perfect God. He made his fair share of mistakes where it concerned women and his throne, but he also did some good deeds as you'll later see.😉 It is kind of surprising though that he'd mess with a sage's wife knowing of the consequences.😕 I don't have an answer to that. As for why Sage Gautam cursed his wife despite her being innocent, there is no clear explanation in the epic but scholars have two theories concerning it. 1) Devi Ahalya was supposed to be such a great and saintly woman that she knew everything about the universe. Sage Gautam may have felt cheated thinking that she should have known it was Indra in disguise and not her husband (through divine vision), so he accused her of infidelity. 2) Sage Gautam cursed Ahalya on purpose because he knew that sometime in the future, Shri Ram would come by to their ashram. His curse was actually a boon because Devi Ahalya was a big devotee of Lord Vishnu, and Sage Gautam wanted to grant her the opportunity to be blessed by the Lord.
I would like to lean towards the 2nd theory😉 since even in the song, it says that Gautam's curse is actually not a curse, but a boon because it gave Ahalya the opportunity to be touched by God's divine feet.
As for where Ahalya disappeared off to after Shri Ram liberated her, she just left for heaven.😆 I mean, imagine her condition yaar. She lived as a stone for eons! She probably wants to no more ties with Earth.😉 So yeah, after Ramji liberated her she left for heaven to be reunited with her husband.
Hehe, I love how you love the "As you wish, sir" parts, you're so adorable!😆 ROFL at your Mithila description as well. I'm sooo waiting for you to watch the next episode! It's the first romantic scene you'll get from Ramayan!😉 I want to know your reaction.☺️
