Mother Sita is the Godess of Fortune
Lakshmi devi. She is the energy of Lord Vishnu and beyond the material modes of nature. There have been many such women in the mythological period whom we consider to be women of ideal and perfect character. But the best among them is Mata Sita. Just as Shri Ram is said to be the best among men, in the same way Mata Sita is also the best among women. There are many reasons for this. Come know 10 secrets about Sita Mata.
Mata Sita represents the ideal wife, daughter and mother to the Hindu people, and is remembered for her fine attributes and revered for having the noblest qualities of women.
Many such householders and virtuous women have been written in the scriptures, who are still an ideal and inspiration for every woman. Many people also consider the life of Mata Sita to be full of struggle, but in reality, in such a life, the precious formulas of a better and balanced life for every working or household woman are hidden.
1. Who are Sita's parents?
Goddess Sita was the eldest daughter of King Janak of Mithila, hence she is also called 'Janaki'. According to Valmiki Ramayana, once King Janak was very upset by the severe drought in Mithila, then to get rid of this problem, a sage suggested him to perform a yajna and run a plow on the earth. On the suggestion of that sage, King Janak got the yajna done and after that King Janak started plowing the earth.
Then he found a beautiful girl wrapped in clay in a golden nugget from the earth. Taking that girl in his hands, King Janak named her 'Sita' and adopted her as his daughter. The mystery still remains as to who are Sita's parents?
Now you see that a woman who doesn't know anything about her parents grew up in the palace. There are many girls in this country who have been left behind by their parents on the doorstep of the temple, outside the hospital or on the garbage dump. Such girls get a place in an orphanage or luckily they become the daughter of a good home. But there are hundreds who are wandering alone on the road. All those women should look towards Mata Sita and have courage.
2. Marriage of Ram-Sita
If there is a strong desire to choose the best in the mind, then surely it will happen. Sita Swayamvar was just a play. Actually Sita had chosen Rama and Rama had already chosen Sita. Lord Shri Ram and Janakiputri Janaki (Sita) were married on the Panchami of Shukla Paksha of Margashirsha (Aghan) month, since then this Panchami is celebrated as 'Vivah Panchami festival'.
Certainly in today's era it is difficult to find Ram in a man, but not so difficult. One should marry a wife who follows Dharma and who takes 7 vows seriously. Women should marry only such a person, who follows certain rituals and is free from death. If a woman is choosing a modern man instead of an ideal man, then this is not only a risk, but it will also give birth to a new trend in the society. Maybe then life becomes a compromise.
3. Extraordinary chastity
It is very surprising that Shri Ram got exile but Mother Sita also left all the pleasures, wealth and splendor of the palaces with him. Simply because they had to follow their husband's dharma. Also because they read 7 verses together. At that time the forest used to be very terrible. It was also very difficult to live there but Mother Sita accepted to stay with Rama.
She trusted her husband and never insulted him even at times of his bad moments .
She never wanted wealthy pleasures and so, she accompanied her husband Ram to
the forest. She cared for him.
Of course, it is necessary to support the husband in every step of his wife, in the same way it is necessary for the wife to support her husband in every happiness and sorrow. If a woman is unhappy in her husband's misery and not happy in happiness, then she should think about what she is. Ideal and perfect married life can be like that of Shiva-Parvati and Ram-Sita.
4. Not only a housewife, but also a worker
Mother Sita was not only a housewife, that is, staying at home to make bread or watch the household chores. She used to help in every work of Lord Shri Ram. Thus she was also a working woman. Where Shri Ram used to stay, he used to build a hut for three people, make his own clothes, collect firewood and pluck the roots and roots for food. In all the above works, Mother Sita along with Lakshman used to support him.
5. Courage of Sita
When Mother Sita was kidnapped by Ravana and kept her in Ashok Vatika, she followed modesty, tolerance, courage and religion in this difficult situation. During this, Ravana tried to tilt her towards him with the policy of Sama, price, punishment and distinction, but Mother Sita did not bow down, because she had full faith in her husband Shri Ram and his power in front of Ravana's power and splendor.
Lankadhipati Ravana kidnapped and kept Mother Sita in his captivity for two years. In this captivity, Mother Sita lived under the guard of demons in a cave in a garden.
6. Sita's Faith
When Hanuman reached Ashok Vatika in Lanka, he gave the ring of Lord Shri Ram that he had brought to Sita. Sita Mata was very happy. He expressed his anguish and also expressed apprehension and despair that how did it take so long for Rama to come? Nath has not forgotten me somewhere? Knowing such state of mind of Sita, Hanuman said that there is a slight delay in the arrival of Rama, mother, if you are feeling that he will be able to cross the sea or not, then today I will take you to Ramji.
Hanumanji gave him the confidence and introduction of his power. Seeing the power of Hanumanji, Sita became convinced and understood that this monkey can take me to Rama immediately. Even after this, Sitaji said that 'I cannot touch anyone other than Rama keeping in mind the devotion I have towards Rama, which is complete renunciation, my religion of piety. Now come here Ram, kill Ravana. Kill those who are his people and take us away. Only Ramji should take me with honor and dignity, that would be appropriate.
7. The elusive Sita
It is believed that to spread fear and despair in the monkey army and Ram-Lakshman in the battlefield, Ravana's son Meghnad created an elusive Sita with his power, which looked like Sita. Meghnad started moving that elusive Sita in front of his chariot in the battlefield. The monkeys did not attack her as Sita.
Later Meghnad grabbed the hair of the elusive Sita and pulled it in two pieces in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, despair spread in the monkey army. Everyone started thinking that Sita, for whom they are fighting, has been killed. What's the use of fighting now? When Rama heard the news of Sita's death, he too became unconscious.
Seeing the blood spread all around, everyone became mournful. Seeing this, Meghnad went to the place of Nikumbhila Devi and started performing havan. When Rama's consciousness returned, Lakshmana and Hanuman explained to him in many ways and Vibhishana said that 'Ravana can never give orders to kill Sita, so it is definitely a display of Meghnad's illusion. You rest assured.' After a few days the war went on and finally Ravana was killed.
8. Sita's ordeal
Did Sita give or not give or not? This question still remains. It is also said that he had passed the ordeal but Rama did not give up Sita. The Sita without whom Ram cannot live even for a moment and for whom he fought the biggest war, what can he leave at the behest of any individual and society?
When Rama brought Sita to Ayodhya after getting rid of Ravana, some time after her coronation, Rama came to know from the mouth of the ministers and a spy named Durmukh that the people were suspicious about the purity of Sita, so there were many arbitrariness about Sita and Ram. Things are being made. Sita was pregnant at that time. Told Sita to Ram and others that things are being made in the society. Everyone says that the test will be given. It is believed that due to suspicion by Rama and the society, Sita, distracted by guilt, humiliation and sorrow, ordered to prepare a pyre.
Sita said this- 'Though I have always remembered Rama with my mind, word and deed and the body that Ravana carried away was a matter of course, then God Agni should protect me.' And then Sita Mata entered the burning pyre. Agnidev, taking a visible form, raised Sita in her lap and presented her in front of Rama, saying that she is holy in every way. Even after this ordeal, various things started being made in the public, then again a religious crisis arose in front of Rama.
9.Sita in Valmiki Ashram
When Sita was pregnant, she expressed her desire to visit Rama once in Tapovan. But to save the dynasty from stigma, Rama asked Lakshmana to leave Sita in Tapovan. Although it is mentioned in some places that in order to maintain the respect of Shri Ram among his subjects, he left the palace of Ayodhya and went to the forest and started living in Valmiki Ashram. She was pregnant and left her home at this stage. Sita gave birth to two twins named Luv and Kush from Valmiki Ashram.
10. Death of Sita
Mother Sita lived with her sons in Valmiki's ashram. Once upon a time Lord Shri Ram organized Ashwamedha Yagya. In that yagya, Valmikiji sent Luv and Kush to narrate the Ramayana. Ram heard this character from both the Kumars. It is said that both of them used to recite twenty cantos every day. On reaching Uttarkand, Rama came to know that both of them are the children of Rama.
Then Rama told Sita that if she is sinless, then come here in the assembly and show her purity. Valmiki went to the meeting with Sita. There was also Vashistha Rishi in the meeting. Vashishthji said- 'O Ram, I am the 10th son of Varuna. I have never lied in my life. These two are your sons. If I have lied, then I will not get the fruits of my penance. I have seen his purity with divine eyes.'
Sita facing down with folded hands said - 'O Mother Earth, if I am pure, then the earth may burst and I will be absorbed in it.' When Sita said this, a throne placed on the serpents came out tearing the earth. Prithvi Devi was sitting on the throne. He took Sita in his lap. As soon as Sita sat down, that throne started sinking into the earth and Sita Mata got absorbed in the earth.
However, it is described differently in the Padma Purana. In the story of Padma Purana, Sita did not enter the earth, but she had enjoyed the throne by staying with Shri Ram and she also took water samadhi with Rama.
The essence of these things is that today's woman too, like the sacred character of Sita, by giving place in life to service, restraint, sacrifice, decency, good behavior, courage, peace, fearlessness, forgiveness and peace, balance between working and married life. Along with it can also get success and respect.
