chaya sita..real or no?

"As per Narada and Vayu Puranas, Draupadi was composite Avatar of Goddesses Shyamala (wife of Dharma), Bharati (Wife of Vayu), Sachi (wife of Indra), Usha (wife of Ashwinis) and hence married their earthly counterparts in form of Five Pandavas. Enraged at a jest by Parvati and the four goddesses, Brahma cursed them to human birth which the solution Parvati brought about was to be born as one woman, Draupadi and hence share the earthly body for a smaller period of time. Draupadi 's characteristic anger and fight against injustice reflects the Parvati or her Shakti, Kali inhabiting Draupadi 's mortal flesh at times. At other times, Draupadi was docile and even waited to be rescued (as in case of Jayadratha and Jatasura) showing the qualities of other goddesses like Sachi and Usha. Other times, she showed cunning and guile to hide their true identity and still use Vayu putra Bhima to kill Keechaka like Goddess Bharati would. Draupadi was also avatar of Goddess Shree or Wealth who was joint wife to five Indras, aka Five Pandavas. She was to be born several times for imprisoning the Indras. First time was as Vedavati who cursed Ravana (here we find yet another goddess Avatar Swaha, wife to Agni). She then came again as Maya-Sita especially to take revenge from Ravana while Agni hid the real Sita. Third one was partial either Damyanti (whos ehusband Nala was equivalent to Dharma, Vayu, Indra just like the Pandavas) and her daughter Nalayani. She married Sage Mudgala. Fifth Avatar was Draupadi herself. So we find in Draupadi, a composite avatar of Kali, Parvati, Sachi, Shyamala, Usha, Bharati, Shree, Swaha, the eight goddesses."

I got this info on the net..from the mahabharat website www.mahabharataonline.com . don't know whether it's true or not...

thanks 4 info😛
chaiya sita has been always been confusing 4 me😕
its mentioned in ramcharitamanas and some other scriptures but there is no mention of chaya sita in valmiki's ramayan
there had been already much debate about authenticity of chhaya sita earlier in this forum
i have already given my views and i m posting it again
if the thruth was that ravan abducted chayya sita and not real sita then the purpose of agni parikchha was totaly different. the things to be pointed is

--> if sitaji was not a real one then the purpose of agniparikchha is not to show her purity but to get real sita back. if ram had done this then there is no need to doing this in public. he would have got her back without these public showing. if he had done this this this may be interpreted as deceving ppl. ram had already announced abt parikchha and he was deceiving his ppl 😕. i don't beleive ram had done this.

--> ram has come on this earth 2 teach humanity a lesson. he can teach a lesson by real suffering. if there was really a chhaya sita then how could he suffer being known of the fact that his wife was safe in the hand of agnidev


--> what was about curse given to vishnu that he would suffer 4 patni-viyog( parting 4rm wife) by narad. had vishnuji decieved naradji too

--> what is the need of parikha itself if the sita was not real 😕

I feel the agni pareeksha and chaya sita story is more plausible keeping in mind the characters of Ram and Sita. Ram could never doubt Sita for even a sec. and Sita was a pati vrata lady and it's believed that nobody could touch her. a pati vrata has powers which can defeat God. Ram could have got his Sita back from agnidev in private . reasons for this could be the reason why he decided to do agni pareeksha on the first place. He told only laxman about chaya Sita. the rest of the world didn't know about it. I think even if the story is "added" in future and it's not there in the original text, it's due to the love and admiration of Ramji by one and all.

Sita neither needed protection from Agni dev nor protection of Agni dev. She is much greater than Agni Dev. She was incarnation of Maha Laxmi. She was actually abducted. Viraadh and Jayant( in form of a crow) also touched her.

U said that a women who is pati vrata cannot be touched by any par purush. This means all women who r touched by any par purush against their will r not pati vrata or all such women r Asati

All I want to say is that different versions narrate the same story is different style

It was said in the earlier version of Ramayan that a true pativrata like Sita who didn't even THINK of any parpurush in even her thoughts is a real sati , jisse bhagwan bhi darte hain.... I never said she needed protection. Everything happened for a cause. to kill Ravan. Sita helped Ram in this. but they never told anybody about it. I said any parpurush who touches a pativrata against her wish (as told in old Ramayan) will burn instantly. Obviously she was abducted . She was an avtaar of Mahalaxmi and Ram was avtaar of Vishnu is like starting from ABCD . we all know they were avtaars. Whatever I wrote was not my imagination but it was told by Mata Anusuya to Sita and Sita herself later when she decided to go inside the Earth and end her avtaar. I don't know if this is a "litmus" test for a pativrata or no.
