Many people consider Sita a victim and Rama as not-an-ideal-husband. The life of the divine and righteous king and queen shows not only the path of dharma, but the way we all should live. The Supreme among the men is Rama, and so in women is Sita. तुम्ह सम पुरुष न मो सम नारी। यह सँजोग बिधि रचा बिचारी।।Īlthough Shurpanakha is trying to propose Rama for marriage, she is saying the undeniable truth “There is no man like you”. I am recalling the context where Shurpanakha says to Rama: After reading The Ramayana more than once and analysing the characters of Shree Rama and Devi Sita, one can easily understand why they are considered as the ideal man and woman. Image source: Wikipediaīut, is it enough to sing in the praise of these two, without looking deeply into their characters? Well, no. Is there even a word in the dictionary that can praise ‘ Maryada Purshottama Shree Rama’ and ‘ Stree Shiromani Mahapativrata Shakti Swaroopini Devi Sita’? Peerless among the men and women are Rama and Sita. It is the story of the gem among human beings. It is more than just about the life of Lord Rama and his battle against the demons. The events and lessons in this legendary epic are enough to show the path to an ideal, peaceful life for mankind. Of all the scriptures and religious texts, The Ramayana, or the Mahakavya, is the classiest literature work. The best thing we can do for the next generation is to pass those ideals to them. The ideals and principles of the great characters of The Ramayana and The Mahabharata are still alive in the hearts of people. Raised in a traditional family, one thing that I am grateful for is the dharmic knowledge that my family imparted in me since my very childhood. It’s no more than a wonder that there lived a queen once who wore purity, devotion, strength, knowledge, courage and dharma ( roughly translates to duties and responsibilities) as her ornament. It’s not an exaggeration to call her the epitome of chastity and purity. In my view, Sita is the pride of many women and the ideal of true womanhood. Sita, the princess of Mithila, daughter of King Janaka, daughter-in-law of Raghu Vansha, wife of Rama, queen of Ayodhya, and mother of Luv-Kush, is much more than a goddess worshipped in Hindu families.
