I loved 2 lines today. One is without love and surrender, bhakthi is incomplete and another Sita resides in Ram's heart. It was a beautiful loop closure too. Posting analysis soon

Remember the art Sita was making just before Sita apaharan. A beautiful house with everything in it except her. And she asks Ram to find her. Ram says she is in his heart. In real sense that symbolism played out today. Ayodhya doesn't want to celebrate the wedding anniversary of the princes and the princesses. Because Sita is not there. Sita cannot be seen. Ram says if they don't celebrate Sita will feel bad. And then everyone celebrates.

What does Ram do in that scene. He cuts through the hypocrisy in a way. Because how much ever his brothers and wife say they don't want to celebrate, somewhere as an individual they will be feeling happy about their union also. But they doesn't want to show that happiness thinking what will their elder brother who doesn't have his wife with him will feel. As we see them celebrating once Ram insists. In your special moments you will feel happy and you have right to celebrate it. If you see Siya and Ram is finding happiness in their own way.Ram by keeping his hands on Sita's hand symbol in Ayodhya and Sita by making mala of parijath. They don't look gloomy. Because they had taken the decision consciously for the welfare of others. And Sita she observes all the happiness residing in Ram's heart. This is where Vachan palan of Ram towards his wife comes into picture. Mahalakshmi will be in Ayodhya only till that vachan is kept. In separation that is Sita's faith. Her husband will remain loyal to her love.

Another interesting aspect that was told was lotus is a symbol of Bhakthi while Parijath is a symbol of love. Without love there is no Bhakthi. She makes parijath mala on the day she became part of Ram. The day on which she chose the bandhan of love. In that love she found surrender and bhakthi towards her husband. Ram earned her love, surrender and bhakthi through his actions. Every year she remembers that day as the day of her bandhan in a loving relation so that rest of the year she can remain surrendered to him.

It also symbolically showed a man who conquers a woman's heart will have her for lifetime. She will remain loyal to him, fulfilling all his needs in complete surrender. And heart can be conquered only through actions and not using force.

That's why Krishna connects to everyone through relations. As son, as friend, as lover, as husband. Because in a relation love is there in various form and when you do the duty in the relation properly bhakthi happens.

Now Luv Kush. Sita's love for Swarnamrig ending up in Sita apaharana. Kush love for golden bird, his fascination with which he takes Luv also ends up in them being kidnapped by Lavanasura. Once again it highlights Kush inclination towards Sita, his fascination for unknown things, his need to explore and well that leads to some struggle for both of them. But they will emerge victorious.

Savitha my friday analysis is on page 103. Yes that soul merging was beautiful. I mean they cannot be seperated. If you see Ram sees Sita as the queen, but for Sita the murthi of Ram is that of vanvass image. The king seperated his queen, but vanvasi Ram always had his wife by the side.

Yes Savitha, Uttar Ramayan was essentially Sita's struggle for her self respect. She stands alone fighting her battle not expecting anything from anyone neither from her father, nor from her husband doing her duty. She doesn't even expect anything from her sons, but the stand taken by her makes both her husband and sons support her in her quest for identity in their own way.
