Yeah right. Sita was too pious for Ravan to even touch her but if he couldn't touch her then how could he kidnap her. Hence they decided to give real Sita to Agnee and only keep her shadow till their task is completed. So actually Siya Ram created a grand illusion for Ravan. They made sure that he was able to take Sita with him. I was telling Shruti that Ram couldn't have attacked Ravan without a strong reason and so Sita became that reason

Did Raavan touch her ? I guess not , SIta never allowed him . He took Sita along with the bhoomi she was standing on . He didnt touch her . I am nt sure about this though . Bt My naani told Raavan could never touch her . Even while kidnap .
yup , This was all a big illusion . Some say even Raavan was Vishnu bhakth . due to shrap they had to take birth . I feel these illusions and theory;s are made only so that we can learn . SO that they show to what extent human being can live on his principles . They wanted to set an example for the mankind . Even it is the same case with mahabharat .

True Ramayana is about sacrifices but what I can't understand is when Ram decides to send off Sita forever isn't he breaking his wedding vows whereby he promised to provide for her and his children?
Also when Sita decides to go back to mother earth isn't she as well breaking her vows by leaving Ram forever? She's completely justified I feel after what she has been put through.
So Ram sacrifices his love for his wife in order to prove he's a great king as this is what the praja wanted...
Anyway would be interesting to see how cvs present this side of the story as in the previous Ramayana shows they've never really explained the reasoning behind those major events.
It would be great also to see the reactions in Mithila.
Hema

I always think that. He promised to be by her side , support her in all cases . Didnt he break his marriage vows ? Then what abt his RaghuVamsh keerthi ?
Maybe he was with her in her mind . May be he always supported her mentally .
We dont know . Ramayan is still a big mystery .

I agree, hope CV's show Janak's reaction to all these events .

Nice post dear. Agnipareeksha of Sita was the proof Ram gave to the world on chastity of Sita. Ram was sure Sita will come unscathed from it. He thought world will not talk anything ill about Sita after Agnipareeksha as the Lord Agni himself had given her back, vouching for her chastity.

How wrong he was. To the most chaste woman fingers were again pointed , showing the shallowness and half knowledge of our society. Ram-Sita's story is a lesson to all those gossip mongers and people with half knowledge who ends up giving pain to noble souls and asking humans where we want to stand as a human. Should we judge before knowing things with our own half baked assumptions?

Coming to Lakshman, Lakshman never rejected Urmila. You have to look Lakshman like a soldier. When a soldier is faced with his duty in the border and his wife what will he do. He will go to the border, no matter what. It is not rejection of his wife. A soldier's wife knows this, call of duty is more for her husband, accepts it.

I agree , gossip mongers should learn this bt unfortunately they are never gonna do that.

COming to Lakshman , Yes he was like a soldier and his wife could not stop him from dong his duty . But Actually he was a prince right . He need not go to the forest after all . He went out of Love and respect for his brother . So he chose his brother , his duty over his wife . Isnt it a rejection ? He didnt even allow her to accompany him during exile . I feel vry bad for urmila.

btw thanks a ton for sharing your view on this . I dont tell this often bt I am your secret admirer . You are a person with such vast knowledge and different view point of thinking .

@sruthi our soldiers come from not only poor families, but also well to do families. Their love to protect their motherland and their respect for their motherland make many young men take this path with practically no expectation of any reward. They need not go. But they go. A duty bound relation when the duty is towards a right person we have to treat it as that of a soldier and motherland.

He need not take that path, many other options available, but still he takes. At no point that means rejection of any family member including one's wife.

As brilliant the Ramayan is,the same brilliance is being potrayed in this post.A nice attempt Shruthi!

I sincerely thank @Sumedha and @Shruthi for sharing such facts/points with us.This discussion here has been so interesting.

And yes Shruthi,not much have been convinced from the side of 3 queens of Dashrath.I personally believe each of them was unique and still quite similar with each other.There could be so many sayings,so many versions of this vast story,if it could be from the pov of these characters...

Coming to Sita,whatever be,never could one find someone like her.I actually love the way how SKR potrays her character.

By any means,she had been assigned to play an important role in history,for the welfare of mankind.

"It is my opinion that those situations were created so that Ram can lead his way following his Dharma . It is all pictured to show us . Teach some morals .
These things can never happen in reality .
These are created so that they become exemplary. "

👏 for these words..

Very thought provoking post...

Yes, al characters in Ramayan were showcased as ideal. Every decision they took reflected ideal situation only, which cannot happen now, but yes it presents the ideal state of human behaviour. Characters went through ethical crisis where they had to make one moral decision among two moral choices. This is really hard when you have to choose one right among two rights. The more look I into the chracters of Ramayan, the deeper I can understand the pinnacle of emotional pain that they went through. But as the saying goes, love is in sacrifice. When one feels the ultimate level of pain in love, it becomes more spriritual than material love. Ram and Sita went through this pain to showcase the highest limit of pain that a human can bear. After all, they were Gods and such ideal examples can only be set by God so that the ordinary humans can lead their life on the principles and examples set by Him on this earth. Same applies to Lakshman, Urmila, Dashrath, and all.

In every religion, we can see how God went through pain to set the ideals in the human race whether that is Jesus Christ or Lord Rama. Material detachment leading to spiritual advancement is what all I can understand from the overall journey of Ram and Sita and all the other characters in the Epic.

I agree , this one is bit convincing . bt Lakshman had the option of taking Urmila with him . He could have taken her along with him . Isnt't it her dharma to serve her husband ?

But as you said , if we consider Lakshman as a soldier these things are justified .
