I have always said women stands for Knowledge Wealth and Power or in other words Dharma, arth and Kama. And Dharma, Arth, Kama, Moksha are said to be Purusharth.

Look at the way they showed Ram-Sita today. Ram was standing atop the mountain and Sita comes from behind. In her own respectable way she tests him, and in equally respectable way he answers her. I loved the way he asked her she wanted to ask something, but hesitating and without fear she could ask him and he gives his words he will not be angry. I loved the halting way Sita asks the question of multiple wives and what about him. First Ram gives a generic answer, then she asks my question. That was a beauty. Her question was specifically to him. What about him. And he says he will have only one wife. She smiles. If you look Purusharth comes behind him. I mean a woman coming for a man means purusharth is coming for him. His qualities make every woman want to follow him. And when a woman comes behind him she is bringing along with her knowledge, wealth and power.

And look at Ravan. Seeing him women run away. She goes behind woman. Abuses them and goes away. He believes he has to go after Purusharth. Take it, use it and throw it. But then just like the curse he got one day the purusharth will go out of his control because there is a limit you can control something.

So in Ram and Ravan you can see the contrast of men. One who attracts Purusharth towards him, and other who thinks he can snatch and use Purusharth. Which one will last longer is anybody's guess.

Be a man behind whom Purusharth or an eligible good woman comes, than one who controls a woman.

Shruthi I am so glad you noticed sita standing behind Rama because I was struck by that too. How she stands behind him prodding him with questions that help him to reflect and understand himself better. And how tuned he is to her feelings that he can sense the unsaid

Hi dear.
I saw the episode and the discussion between Ram Sia. It was a heart to heart convo but as for me, the timing was not right. It seemed misplaced. But of course to each his/her own. Secondly I wanted to ask what is identity actually? Our identity comes from our parents as they bring us in the world and make us Ready to face the world. Ram Ji ne kaha... Janak putri.. Sia said call me Sita... Yehi naam acha lagta hai mujhe... Kyu kaha hoga aise? Can a child s identity be made only if one comes out from under their parents name or shadow... Kya unko sath rakh ke identity not be established. I would always love to be called my Dad's daughter and this is where my disconnect is. I think the makers wanted to establish that one should make their own identity without any influence but they did not portray it correctly. As far as I think, we can always be known by our parents name and it's a beautiful thing, it does not put down your individuality, we are their own and they r ours so if this love is pure then what is the need to come out of their shadow. Of course this is what I feel hence the scene did not go down well with me. I however do respect what others feel too.

@neelakshi Sita's line itself said saath, still independent. Especially in case of marriage we need to understand that yes the son of Dasrath, is that qualification enough for Sita as an individual to marry him, Janak Putri is that enough for Ram to marry her.

U Make me understand things well Shruti. Thank u. If I disappear without replying please understand it is due to post restrictions. I get your point on maintaining individuality of a person and also that when people marry, they marry individuals and it's imp. Too... Coz a son may or may not b like father as u explained. it's just that I could not relate to the objection of being called Janak putri. This was in general sense and not particularly for Sita. I still feel we can always be in shadow of our parents yet maintain our individuality.

@neela observe the scene. Actually Sita is giving him right to call her by first name 😃. It's a right given and Ram understand it as she says even in togetherness there is independence. If you see here she maintains her independent streak giving him information indirectly what kind of a woman she is. One who wants her identity even post marriage 😃. And Ram understands her completely when he tells her to ask her unsaid question. Sita wants to rule the heart of the man she marries and she has no interest in sharing it with anyone 😃. She makes her intention clear respectfully and politely. And he replies in affirmative in the same polite and respectful manner.

OK I'll go and rewatch it again if u say so. 😃
I like the discussions you guys have which gives understanding to how things can be interpreted coz u r open to listen to another pov too and so am I nor do u guys jump to conclusions if someone is takibg a scene in a different way. I'm glad am able to talk it out. Thank u Arshics and Shruti.
