i wish it would come true

i like today sulochana's plan of freeing sita, thou its frictional but i just hoped it would be the truth then sita would had not seperated with ram again , as i never understood the reason of second vanvas of sita. what the teaching in it, some version of ramayan consider raavan more perfect husband than ram coz acc to some versions monkey troop mis treated mandodri to prevent raavan's yagya , but still raavan accepted mandodri without any agnipariksha.

Haha...I like the thought dear. But then there would have been no Ram no Sita. Most versions take the whole abduction scene as a means through which Ravan's death became possible. We might say Ravan was the reason Ram came to existence.

Most people do say that the Uttara Kand is a later addition, but as we know, every writer has a different way of writing. Maharishi Valmiki may not have written everything in Ram and Sita's life, so we can not say anything. But one thing I can surely say is that this part tells us that Dharma is above all, even family. This is a very important lessons for the leaders of today, who can shred their Dharma into pieces for their own good. And yes, Shilya, you can say that without Ravan, Ram wouldn't have been venerated today.
