Today in Astha channel, Shri Anurag Krishna Shastriji in bhagwath katha
told a story where Sitaji cursed a cow and the river..
It was of Vanvas time when Ramji with sitaji n laxmanji reached GAYA, the place where all PIND-DANS are offered to our ancestors. Laxmanji asked Ramj for the same. Ramji agreed and both went to take all samagris used to perform pind-dan and left sitaji alone near a river.
I dont exactly remember the name of the river i thnk it was Phalguni....
As the place was for ancestors, sitaji started crying in memory of Dashrathji.... after sometime she saw two hands coming out from river, she recognised those hands as of Dashrathji and offered pind made of clay to the hands and was done.
After sometime when Ramji came back and started all formalities, he was shocked to see his offerings was not accepted and asked sitaji what mistake we all did?
Sitaji replied all what happened that time. Then Ramji asked for proof ...
sitaji prayed river to answer Lord Ram but river replied as "NO, m not aware of all this"
sitaji cursed river for lying. Sitaji cursed river to go to patalpuri... even today this river is not seen as other rivers but on digging land water comes up....
Then Sitaji asked a cow "u were here, u say the truth" Even cow waved her head saying "NO".
Sitaji cursed cow as"You are the purest of all but from now as u denied the fact, i curse your head to be impure (apavitra)"
Then Sitaji prayed God sun, I am your daughter in law and you are the only one who knows everything abt every1 n all....
then god sun replied according to sitaji....
Sitaji said Though I am your daughter-in-law but still I say U the sun instead of seeing all the bad deeds of this world, you will not get any effect and always be in your pure form.
