Phew I was like 👏 when Ram told this dialogue. Because what is the basic connect in relations. It is love. Not only between hus-wife but love is the basic element of existence of humans. From love comes all the positive feelings of empathy, care, nurture, confidence, dedication, motivation everything. You name a positive attribute at the core of it is love. And yes the highest expression of love is the one between hus-wife where Prakriti becomes one with Sanskriti to give something new that is beneficial both to Prakriti and Sanskriti and the cycle continues. A child born when the Prakriti willingly surrenders herself to Sanskriti who has locked her in his love it gives the positive direction to the world. Just like the birth of Karthikeya who was born to kill Tarakasura and Krishna who was born to kill Kamsa and who ended the adharma. So here if you look who is ending the adharma in real sense. It is not Ram. But it is Luv-Kush and their questions that rattles Ayodhya. And why so because they are born out of true love of Prakriti and Sanskriti.
And what was Raghuvansh doing in the name of maryada. Harishchandra sells his wife and child. For what vachanpalan. Is your wife and child your property to be sold in market . Coming to Dasrath, did he had prem towards any of his wife. Unfortunately no. He wanted them to give him a son. His Prem was limited what he can get from them. Or rather what is the ROI of his queen. If she gives son well the ROI is good, if she doesnt well the investment is not good enough. So invest in another property. Thus 3 wives( If somebody feels my language is harsh on these kings well it is intentional)

Now Ram, he doesnt consider his wife a property, he loves her as an individual. He has been committed to her. But here comes people and telling him for the welfare of Praja marry second time. Well it is no big deal. If you have rejected one property as the people are not satisfied with it as it does not suit their tastes, get another property that will serve the purpose. Ram tells them a king is an individual, a man and a woman treats her husband a man first then the king. Doesnt the man have emotions, doesnt he have feelings. Tell the munis, rishis as a king you have to do second marriage for Aswamedha and Aswamedha has to happen for the welfare of Praja.

It is a Ram who is fed up asking the question is sacrificing Prem Raghukul ki maryada. If a man follows rules why are you hell bent on ruining his life. Why are you hell bent on taking away his love from him. A man feels and Ram make this clear today that a man feels as much as a woman. He loves as much as a woman. And the society has no right to tell him in the name of reeti, neeti maryada to throw out his love from his life. Because he exists as he has that love in abundance. The day he loses that love and trust he will cease to exist.

sacrifice of love? shruti, you are wrong here, ram and sita sacrificed their happyness but not love, for sita never let go ram from his heart and ram never let go sita from him. they were no mortal soul my dear, they were lakshmi and narayan.

@arjith did you read my analysis. Your comment shows clearly you have not read my analysis. Where in analysis I told Ram sacrificed his love . I was only talking about the question he raised to guru vashisht.
And I guess Arjith so far from my posts you would have understood i know who they are.

Shruti amazing post again...It was a heart touching episode. The confusion in the minds of Sita and her sisters...the state of Sita when her sons after confronting Ram have walked away and she gets tidings of the Ashwamedha...the way Ram refuses to marry stating his promise as a man to his wife...The Rajarishi's understanding of Ram and the solution he offers him...all beautifully crafted by CVs.

@vidya Sita lived on the trust of his vachan. That only she will be his wife in this lifetime. When she feels that trust of her is broken what is her existence, what is the meaning of her love. What Sita's sisters tell is true. On Ram's decision hinges Sita's identity. If he go ahead and marries second time, who is Sita. But then it will also be who is Ram. He is just another man. What defines Ram in the end is sticking to the vachan he gave to Sita.
@Raima that is why Ramayan is the eternal love story. Unmatched. Till now Sundara Kanda used to be my favourite where Sita gives choodamani to Hanuman. But today SKR redefined that moment to Ram's announcement of why he will not remarry. Coming to men. To experience that kind of love atleast 5-10% woman also has to kill some of her ego. It is not that men are not there. But with ego you cannot experience love
Thanks Pooja.

Shruthi, I agree with what so ever you have written here about the love and trust between the partners of life and How Ram stood tall in front of the whole Ayodhya by vouching to his vachan given to his wife during his marriage that he will remain "Ekapatnivratasta" through out his life. I applaud his courage, dedication and truthfulness.

At the same time I do agree with the Munivers and Guru Vashist about asking him to have a second wife for the benefit of his praja for whom he has dedicated his life and doing everything for them. Their argument is simple " If ram could abandon Sita for his praja's welfare or happiness or peaceful mind or to maintain the sanctity of his kingdom, why he can't do a second marriage for the same praja? If his vachan of "Ekapatni" is stopping him now, why his vachan of "staying together with her in all her good and bad moments of life" didn't stop him from abandoning her? Did that vachan lost its value while the other vachan has its value in his life?

It was not like the Guru Vashist was pushing him to matrimony yet again for the benefit of the kingdom but he was trying to bring out the pain Ram had to undergo silently behind his sealed chest when he sent away his wife, his life and the future of Kosala to a dense forest all alone mend her life. How it hurt him to not knowing whether his wife is dead or alive (offcourse his heart and soul knows the truth), if alive in what condition she is and whether she gave birth to a child and whetherid is a son or a daughter?

Guru Vashist wanted all the praja to know what their beloved king did for them by placing a boulder on his happiness. He never wanted Ram to remarry for the sake of Yangna.

@jaya I didn't tell Vashistha, because Vashistha knows Ram's condition. That's why maybe for 12 years he never raised the question of Aswamedha with Ram. As he knows it cannot be done without a wife, and Ram wont remarry.
Why he agreed now is exactly the reason you put. Remember when Ram takes decision to abandon Sita Guru vashistha muses " What are you doing Ram, how will you remove this blemish from your character" because Vashistha the trikala gyaani knows though the present praja will be happy with king's decision for centuries he will be crucified for abandoning his wife which actually happens.
So currently him bringing the other munis who has come most probably to Rajguru to have discussion with the king on Aswamedha, Guru Vashistha takes it as an oppourtunity to show the world what Ram is, what Ram's love towards his praja is. For their welfare he sacrificied his wife physically, but he was never away from her emotionally and never could. Vashistha knew that. But he wanted Ram to tell.
And Janak talks about Ardhanareeshwara, doesn't Vashistha who is Brahmarishi knows it. He knows obviously. But when a Brahmarishi tells it, it is theory. But when a man who has walked the path of being a Ardhanareeshwara tells it, it is practice. A path a man can walk.
Actually it is Guru who finally removes the blemish on his favourite disciple. My whole post was aimed at other rishis and munis who have the theortical knowledge of sastras not as versed as Vashistha.

Prem ka parityaag raghukul ke Maryada. That was an epic line. Love is the purest feeling. Love was Rams Shakthi and they are expecting Rajaram to sacrifice it. Well how hypocrite can they get? A man following rules and people hellbent on destroying it. I never thought treta yug could connect with Kali Yuga. I thought it was perfect until I saw even then to go on the right path was indeed made a conflict by few people. Uttarkhand is something in which we have a lot to learn from. The ardanareeshwar line was also a beautiful line yesterday
