I still think of Arun Govil, Deepika, and Sunil Lahri as Ramji, Sitaji, and Lakshmanji!😳😆 But I'm trying to get out of that, because I don't think it is right to think of serial/movie actors where God is concerned. I try to get more temple images into my mind when I think of Ram and Sita, or even devotional pictures, and it's starting to work. I just remind myself that the real Sita Devi was much much much more beautiful that either Deepika or Debina (because she was really a goddess), or that the real Ram was much much much more handsome than Arun Govil or Gurmeet.
As for the word, whenever I think of Ramayan, I think of the word purity.
