So what was yesterday's episode. I would say it was a beauty. A son wanted to protect mother. But in doing so what he forgot was another woman is also a mother or mother like. In his fit of emotions he only saw his mother going to get harmed and took action.
And Sita the mother knew what is going to come. The words were reverbating into her. That surpi will take revenge. She knows all of them will be affected.
And like a obedient son Lakshman tells her why should they all share the burden of his actions. He will pay for it.
What Lakshman forgets it how will the parents allow the child to take the hit alone when they are there. When they know his intention was good, but it was the method the problem They will take the most hit, protecting him, enabling him to correct the method.
Look at what she says. Anger. Anger only brings destruction to self and others. So controlling anger, observing situation is important. She is keeping the first step towards correcting her child Lakshman to manage his emotions.
And when Sita apaharan happens, Lakshman knows what anger has resulted in. It will his journey to calm his emotions and hold Ram till they reach Lanka. And once he comes out successful defeating Meghnad he will know where he stands. It will be a much mature Lakshman we see
And Sita I loved her worry. Worry for Ram, worry for Lakshman, worry for all 3 of them. The way she hug Ram, it looked as if she felt felt strongly something is not going to be right. Their apple cart of happiness is going to get destroyed. And she wanted to protect it, protect the one she loves at any cost.
And this is where I said the difference between Gowri and Kali. Kali wants to destroy others. While Gowri takes the pain herself for the welfare of others.
Now let us see Surpi. She goes and complain. Her family surrounds her. She talks about her insult and the moment Ravan sees her cut nose he says who did this and who had the courage to do this.
This is where I want to bring once again the contrast of Mithila, Ayodhya and Lanka
In Mithila when Mandavi says she doesnt want marriage to Bharath because she didnt get the option of choosing her husband Janak listens to her POV, understands it and willingly goes to take the hit on his reputation for her sake. Because in Mithila a woman has a say in the marriage. We have to see here Janak takes the hit. It is my mistake
Now Lanka. It was Surpi's mistake altogether to go behind a married man. But the moment her family knows a woman from their family has been insulted they are up against the other party. Only problem is that they dont try to see what is the mistake in their own kin. But we need to see they too stand for their woman.,Ravan stands as a brother and earlier also we know Ravan had accepted Vidhyutjeeva for Surpi's sake.
So in Mithila we see balanced love, In Lanka we see obsessive love. One is good, other is bad. But even in badness we can see the love for one's kin.
Now let us take Ayodhya. Did Ayodhya care for the women who were sent to lure Rishisringa. Did they try to understand what happened to them. Did Dasrath at any point on his own went to meet his daughter Shanta. Answer is no. Ayodhya is the hypocrite society. It is bad, but pretends to be good.
It is easy to destroy bad, but how do you destroy something that pretends to be good. It is the toughest Maya and it is the game that is most difficult..
The hyocrite society. That pretends to sleep. Only way to wake up that crowd is driving guilt into them. Or rather by becoming a victim the right way. Lord Vishnu becomes the victim twice. Once to Kaikeyi when he takes vanvass, second to his praja when he banishes Sita. The golden idol of Sita is his weapon of guilt that he drives into the consciousness of every Ayodhya Praja.
Look at Krishna. He had made his Bhakts victims, victims of extreme violence. His parents who saw the brutal murder of their 6 new borns. Arjun who had to face the brutal death of his son Abhi, Panchali who had to face disrobing in front of 100+ men in the infamous hall of dice, Rukmini who was forced into marrying a man of bad repute and finally Uttara a mother whose only hope was her unborn child and killing the child in the womb.
If you want to fight adharma in a hypocrite soceity like ours, the only way is to become a victim ourselves and fight to come out of the victimhood
