Savitha beautiful take agree to you. @Rex you have analyzed Sita very well. Yesterday me and DD were telling Sita's ideal world is coming apart. Also if you could please read my post on that episode where I have talked about Sita's stand, why she did what she did.
@DD you took the lines of faith that told someone will protect Prakriti. I actually didn't notice it, as I was hooked on later part when Ram tells how they shrubs and trees will respond to him and Lakshman. It was prophetic to say the least.
I will start my analysis of yesterday's epi with that line. It is said that when Sita is abducted not seeing her Ram asks the flowers, trees, shrubs everything in and around their hut the whereabouts of Sita. He tells what all Sita used to do for them and tell him what happened to his Sita. I am sure SKR is going to show Prakriti listening to him, responding to him and it would be a double whammy to me if Lakshman is the one who understands those signals and with those signals they reach the injured Jatayu from whom they know Ravan abducted Sita.
Ravan removes the human protection of Sita or rather protection of Sanskriti from her. He thinks no one will know what happened to Sita since Ram and Lakshman are not there. But he forgets the Prakriti. Prakriti is Karmasakshi. Eyewitness to your actions though you don't recognize it. You can hide your actions from Sanskriti, but not from Prakriti.
Prakriti's law is set in motion the moment action happens. Unlike the law of sanskriti that can be tweaked in favour of rich, or that of men, law of Prakriti is equal. It doesn't differentiates who you are, it is based on your actions and actions alone.
And in teaching Ram that trees and shrubs respond to human if you talk to them lovingly, Sita has given him the way to reach her. Sanskriti's master plan will be spoiled by Prakriti's ultimate design.
From that let us see the way Ram acts and Bali reacts. Jatayu gives the clue to end Virat. And like the responsible elder brother Ram directs Lakshman to go away. He faces virat and leads him to the large trench created by Lakshman. Here Ram runs, Virat follows.
Cut to kishkinda. Bali also goes to meet Mayavi. He is also a protective elder brother, who comes first. But the mistake he throws to wind the caution given by his brother. He runs behind Mayavi.
One thing we forget when we are chasing someone, or going behind something are we sure where that person is going. Actually no. Remember Lakshman chasing those asurs in Vishwamitra ashram and the mess he lands in.
The person who runs in front might have different skill from us and if we go behind without knowing the person's strength we will land in soup. Self preservation is important as Vishwamitra tells Lakshman.
Look at Hanuman. After chasing Rahu-Kethu for sometime, he comes in front . If we go behind something we are reacting.
If something comes behind us we are acting. When can we follow someone. When we know the path of that person, when we trust that person and that person has always delivered on our trust.
A person who keeps self before others. Only such a person can be followed. If you follow anyone or anything else there will be ulterior motive and you will end up in soup.
Today Virat got it. Tomorrow Bali will get it.
And as rightly pointed out Jatayu comes as the guide, Kishkinda doesn't have the guide in Hanuman. Right information at the right time is of utmost importance.
Next is the attack of innocent villagers. Those Asurs reminded me of terrorists. They cant face the establishment and fight face to face. Like cowards they target innocent civilians. They fight in the dark. People who fight from behind are actually cowards. They run on fear induced.
And look what Ram says. Why should he fear Ravan. If he has army and other things he has the blessings of elders, love of youngsters and wishes of common people. And in a fight they will stand equal or more. Superbly done CVs. Once highlighting the triangle for Ram. His actions till that point come as blessing to him in the ultimate war.( In those who don't know in the previous thread I had mentioned about the triangle of protection for Ram or rather the 9 women or Nava durga who will protect him, elders- Kausalya, Sumitra and Shanta, youngsters - Urmila, Mandavi, Kirti, and 3 Panchkanyas Ahalya, Sita and Tara. Where I had mentioned Ahalya is the knowledge, Sita the wealth and Tara the power , which will help him break the protection Mandodari has given to Ravan)
And I loved Ram going alone leaving Sita in protection of Lakshman and Jatayu, And he also requesting Sita considering safety she has to listen to him. I loved the way he said. Lakshman tells protection as his duty. And Ram requests. The only way Prakriti will accept Sanskriti is when Sanskriti humbly requests Prakriti to compile to it so that she can be protected.
