1 question pls answer - Page 3

Hi Sam,
I see that this is your first post. So, welcome to IF and welcome to Ramayan forum. 😊

What you have written is also one possible explanation. And it is also correct that Ramacharitmanas talks about various Ram incarnations.

Kartikeya is son of shiva n Parvati. He was born much before Ramayana. Then how the Goddesses who tested Ram can be Sati.

As I said tulsidas ji must have mean Parvati Ma by the word Sati as she was Sati's reincarnation. U must have observed in many versions of Ramayan the word Vishnu is used for Ram n Laxmi for Sita as they r incarnations

I m from Assam. It is believed that "Kamakhya Ma" is there in Assam from Satyuga.

Jai shree Ram
i read your question??? that ques. was thr. in my mind also, and i got the ans. after reading Ramcharitmanas by Tulsidas ji.(currently i'm reading it). In that whn. Parvati Mata was getting married to Shivji they first pray the lord Ganesha(who was not physically thr. as he was Shiv andParvati mata's son) but it was clearly appealed to the readers in the book that they shuld not get confused with all this as god is always thr. in NIRGUN ROOP whether he or she has taken their physical form or not. In the same way its about Parvati or Gauri Mata. whether she has taken avtaar in Parvati form or not she will be there in her Nirgun Roop. One more thing we know about God Kalki who will be the tenth avtaar of Lord Vishnu and will come on the earth at the end of Kalyug but we know about him, and its only through our scriptures so at that time also they got all these knowledge from the scriptures and from there Guru's . Moreover, in that case Sitaji was worshiping, I mean one goddess was worshiping other goddess...

welecome sam to IF and ramayana section ur explanation is good

Tulsidas ji meant Sati. This is because he has written that when Shiv came to know that Sati had taken the form of Sita, then he took a vow of not having husband wife relation with her so long she was in that body. After that one day, Daksh performed one yajna in which he invited many personalities but not Shiv and Sati. After that there is story of how Sati immolated herself because she could not tolerate her husband's insult, how she was reborn as Parvati and the subsequent story.

This proves that Tulsidas did mean Sati.

i agree with avinash tulsidas ji mean sati not parvati

Shruti pls tell me in which kanda this story is in Ramacharit maanas

I m really getting confused Valmiki described Shiva's wife as 'daughter of Himalaya not Daksha. This means she cant be Sati but Parvati only

Valmiki Ramayana is my favorite version of this epic. I wud like to quote something said by Swami Vivekanada

"Rama, the ancient idol of the heroic ages, the embodiment of truth, of morality, the ideal son, the ideal husband, and above all, the ideal king, this Rama has been presented before us by the great sage Valmiki. No language can be purer, none chaster, none more beautiful, and at the same time simpler, than the language in which the great poet has depicted the life of Rama."

-- Swami Vivekananda
