SKR-Of loops and symbolisms#3:7/06: Pg:138: MAGIC - Page 81

I loved all of your analyses, guys! Charvi, that is new to me. Water is consciousness. Could you explain that? Sruthi di, I loved your ashoka tree point, brilliant! Janvhi di, awesome thoughts, as always, on choice, and everyone else, I am just going to say great job because I am lazy. 😆 But seriously, the episode and you guys rocked! Now, towards my analysis...

The theme of today's episode is limits. I picked this because...well, you'll see.

Surpanakha comes to Sita and tries to break her by pouring water in front of her, but the brave sita does not comply. Irritated by this, Surpanakha again tries to strike her, but Megnath stops her. He reminds her that no one is allowed to touch Sita for any reason. There are limits on the whole Lanka Parivaar that they can not cross and help or harm Sita. Here, the parallel between Ram and Megnath can be drawn, but why aren't they lauded equally? Because one chose the duties of a son over Dharma. Megnath always followed the principle, "Father is greater than God," but he blindly followed him, in any matter. he was uncomfortable with the Sita haran and Sita's treatment, but he still followed his father's words. But Ram upheld both the duties of a son and Dharma. That is why Ram is revered, and Megnath is in the background. Because Dharma is God's word, and duties are human's creation.

Kaikesi runs to inform Ravan about the results of the havan, and stops when she sees Ravan taking to Sita. Ravan says that if Sita had married him, she wouldn't have to face such treatment. He also says that se is not capable of understanding this, as she is a woman and has limited thinking. Sita retorts back saying if that she has got this hell because she married Ram, then this is heaven for her, and that he has too limited thinking to understand this. Ravan leaves in anger, and Kaikesi gets shocked when she sees Sita as a Sati. She tells this to Ravan and also tells him to marry Sita, so he can have the protection of her Satitva. Here, the mindset of the majority of the men in the Kali Yug is highlighted. many men think of woman as people who are only capable of sitting at home, making food, and taking care of the kids. But these type of men have limited thinking. Bhagawan has made men and woman for different roles in procreation, but he gave both genders an free mind and imagination. So, next time a man calls a girl inferior, remember this, and slap this fact across their face! Also, Kaikesi's mind is just limited to her son's protection. But that's how mother's are. They always think of their child's safety. But, Kaikesi's motherly love has become her obsession because she is using her son for her dreams, and she doesn't want her dreams to die. What a mother!

The next morning, Surpanakha taunts Sita about her state, and Sita says that everyone is limited by chains, some are invisible, some are seen, and some are of iron, and some are of gold. Supanakha attacks once again, but is this time stopped by Ravan. Ravan cuts open Sita's chains, and tells her that her place is in the palace. he gestures towards the palace, but Sita's eyes fall on an Ashoka tree, that reminds her of Ram. She decides to stay there until her husband comes to save her or she dies. Here, what surprised me was that Ravan, the one who puts rules even on his family, does not limit Sita, but lets her go to the tree. This shows that whenever someone is close to his death, he can not see anything other than it. Just like Ravan can now see nothing other than Sita.

Today, the Ashoka tree released a seed from it's branches- Sita. Sita takes inspiration and hope from this tree named after happiness, and will be nurtured under the care of Trijata. She will grow to be tall, and will rise above all of her sufferings and pain, and the flowers of faith and hope will bloom on her branches. Now matter how much Ravan will try to stop this tree from growng, it will grow, as it is Nature's daughter, and she can not be bound.

Gowri

She is indeed higher than Panchkanyas. She is a Sati, one who maintains her chastity and pativrata Dharma in a tough situation.

@Charvi from you and DD I understood the water dropping symbolism. I knew there was something, but couldn't connect but you both had connected it beautifully and coming to Urmila's line you put, I was thinking I should put it, but you have already covered it. Sita's sister had shown her the way how to live even while separated from one's husband physically. In hope and wish

@Gowri your writing has really improved and your thoughts are coming more coherently. Keep writing and you will be able to connect more. And today you bought out a most beautiful point that the gender difference is only as far as procreation goes, because it is like that for everything in nature. 2 parts make whole and nature never creates in part. And if you see in whole Prakriti whether in plants, whether in animals procreation happens as per the roles. But no gender is curtailed freedom in the name of procreation. Wind takes the pollen from flowers and pollination happens. But the flower has its identity and wind also has its identity. Only in the human world women are made baby producing machines, chaining her thoughts, her feelings and her freedom.

DD great to have u back, posting regularly..

Nice analysis everyone

More than that chains dialogue i liked that other dialogue.

"If this hell is the result of my marrying Ram, then its heaven for me."

If u treat them as humans and not Gods, then at this point Sita doesn't know if she will even see Ram again (strictly logically speaking,) She has absolutely no idea what her future entails. She doesnt know what Ravan will do with her..

All these things increase the depth of this dialogue..

She can survive this hell and even enjoy it like heaven since she has the STRENGTH OF MEMORIES WITH RAM.

Its often said that just a single moment with a soul mate is enough to take u through the entire lifetime

Hey Tha 🤗 i missed u too😳😳

Are u taking part in the Laxmila wordmania this time? Whats the deadline
