Questions on Ram for asking Sita to give AgniPareeksha is often raised. Why Ram asked Sita to give AgniPareeksha? Some people say that Ram didn't have trust on her that's why he asked her to do so.
What make someone great n unforgotable? Sacrifices n great deeds make some great. Why Ram, Laxman, Sita, Urmila, Bharat, Hanumaan etc r great? Why people worship them? Because of their Tyaga, virtuous nature, great deeds.
Every Raghuvanshi is known for some Tyaga be it Harishchandra or Raghu or Aja or Iksvaku or Dasrath, Sumitra etc. Was Sita the first women to give Agni Pareeksha? No. Was Sita first in Raghuvansh to give Pareeksha. No. Every celebrated Raghuvanshi gave some kind of tough Pareeksha in their life time n successfully cleared it. That's why they became unforgettable. Had they spend their entire life in pleasure n luxury they wouldn't have become unforgettable. Actually it's those pareekshas which made them great.
Before Sita celebrated Queen of Raghuvansh- Harishchandra's wife Chandramati(other name Taramati) gave AgniPareeksha n successfully cleared it. Hope all of u know the story of Harishchandra n his wife, her greatness, her sacrifice. I have posted the story under the topic started by Rajnish ' ascendants n descendants of Ram'. Those who r higher in virtue doesn't get burned by Fire. By their virtue they can cool down Agni. Chandramati was asked to give Agnipareeksha because she was queen not a commoner. Common people shud have full trust on their King n queen. King is regarded as mouthpiece of God. Being a queen it was her duty to so. They r ideal of Praja they shud establish high ideals by their deeds. Wife is called 'SahaDharmini' means one who helps in every step to fulfill all duty under Dharma. Chandrmati too did so. If she were a commoner not queen there was no need to give any AgniPareeksha. Before AgniPareeksha in one more occasion Sita made fire coolant. When Hanumaan caught fire in Lanka Sita gave him boon that fire will be coolant to him.
Ram knew that when they will return Ayodhya they will be made King n Queen by going through various rituals. People must have full trust on them. See Bharat was faultless but he was shunned by people of Ayodhya when he retuned Ayodhya after Dasrath's death. Moreover Ram knew the mentality of people for womenfolk that's why he her asked to give AgniPaareeksha. After her abduction so many gossips or apwaad took place abt her. In that one year many people raised so many questions. When people of Ayodhya came to know about that they too started gossiping n doubting her without making any attempt to know the actual truth. There was no information technology, no nationwide circulating news paper in that era. Common people didn't have any facility to know that actual truth. They didn't know abt Ravan's curse, where Sita in kept n who r her guards etc.
The fact that Ram had full trust on her is established by the fact that Ram asked her to give AgniPareeksh in front of all. If he had slightest doubt on her he would have never asked her to give AgniPareeksh in front of all. If he had slightest fear in her mind abt Sita he would have never asked her to give Agnipareeksha. Because if Sita failed in AgniPareeksha this wud have caused great public shame to Ram n his dynasty. But he didn't hav slightest fear for Sita when he asked her to give AgniPareeksha in public because he knew her strength. If he had slightest doubt on her would have asked her to give Pareeksha in private first then in front of all.
Sita n Laxman were Ram's alter ego. For Ram they were someone more pious then himself, faultless, purer than purest.
