so, the dhanush did break accidentally,
And Rama did not know how or why
But he felt that it was symbolic of the end of spardha - competition
His explanation of the swayamwar, as a way for a woman to choose her life partner
And not as a competition to be won by her suitors was perfect.
I specially loved it when he said that Sita was not bound to marry the winner
Her choice would still be supreme
Marriage is a match of equals, and not a competition to be won where the bride is the trophy
The other kings had forgotten the very essence of marriage and made it into a competition
With Sita as the prize, for them she ceased to be a person,
and instead became a thing to be owned and possessed and fought over.
Beautiful argument on spardha virudhdh Samanata - and the right of the woman to choose her partner
And how beautifully Sita conveyed her agreement for this marriage
She would be happy to marry the man who doesn't need to
belittle a woman to prove his strength and valour
And Rama being maryada purshottam, wanted his parents blessings before getting married ...
So amid all the drama by the ridiculous Rajas with their silly egos, Rama and Sita ka Shubh vivah is nishchitt
Par drama Abhi baki hai, Shankar ji ne toh kuch nahi kaha
But unke Bhakt parshurama ji Abhi krodhit hain
Kaise manayenge Shri Rama parshurama ji ko
Janane ke liye dekhiyega zAroor, Kal Shaam 8 baje...
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
