RAAMA WINS SEETHA'S HAND

RAMAYANA

Dasaradha and his following reached Mithila and were received with enthusiastic welcome. Exchange of courtesies over, Janaka said to Dasaradha: "My yaaga will soon will be over. i think it best to have the marriage as soon as the yaaga is over," and sought his approval. Dasaradha replied: "You are the bride's father and it is for you to order things as you wish,"

 As the appointed day and hour, giving away the bride, King Janaka said to Raama: " Here is my daughter, Seeta, who will ever tread with you the path of Dharma. Take here hand in yours. Blessed and devoted, she will ever walk with you like your own shadow:
"Iyam Seeta mama sutaa
(sahadharmacharee tava)
prateechchha chainaam bhadram te
paanim grihneeshwa paaninaa
pativrataa mahaabhaagaa
chhaayevaanugataa sadaa.

This sloka is uttered in every wedding in upper India when the bride is given away

Thus was Seeta given by Janaka to Raama.   Were they not Eternal Lovers re-united? And so they rejoiced like lovers come together after separation.

The Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna said: I instructed this imperishable science of yoga to the sun-God, Vivasvan, and Vivasvan instructed it to Manu, the father of mankind, and Manu in turn instructed it to Iksyaku.

4-2
This supreme science was thus received through the chain of disciplic succession, and the saintly kings understood it in that way. But, in course of time the succession was broken, and therefore the science as it is appears to be lost.

 4-3
That very ancient science of the relationship with the Supreme is today told by me to you.  because you are my devotee as well as my friend can therefore understand the  transcendental mystery of this science

Arjuna said: The sun-God Vivasvan is senior by birth to you. How am I to understand that in the beginning you instructed this science to him?

గురువు లైనవారు ప్రీతిపాత్రులైన శిష్యులకు అత్యంత రహస్యాలైన సంగతులు ఎన్నో భోధిస్తారు. ఈ లోకంలోని మానవులకు శాశ్వతమైన కళ్యాణాన్ని  కలిగించే విషయమేదో బాగా ఆలోచించి దాన్ని దయతో మాకు ఉపదేశించు.

మహానుభావుల సాన్నిధ్యంలో  భహుకాలం ఉన్నావు. ఆయా గ్రంథాలలోని పరమార్థాలను కన్నావు. పెద్దలవద్ద వినదగిన విశేషాలెన్నో విన్నావు.

SEETHA'S RESOLVE

  RAMAYANA The King bade Sumantra let the prince in. Raama came and bowed to the King from a distance. As soon as he saw Raama, the King suddenly rose and rushed without-- stretched arms  to embrace him. but dropped in a swoon before reaching his son.  Raama and Lakshmana tenderly lifted him up and put him on the couch."My Lord, "  said Raama "we have come to seek your leave  to go to the forest. Vaidehi and Lakshmana too are going with me in spite of all I could do to make them desist. Pray give us your benedictions and leave to depart." Dasaradha then said "Raama, I am bound by the boons that I have given to Kaikeyi. But you are not so bound. Why do you not brush me aside and seize the Kingdom by force? That had long been in King's mind as the best and only solution of the cruel problem and came out now clearly in words. But Raama said: I have no desire for kingdom or power, father.May you reign for a thousand years more. My heart is now set on going to t...

AHALYA

RAMAYANA After a day's stay  in the City of Visaala, Viswaamitra and his  party left for Mithila. On the way,  not for from Mithila, they saw a beautiful aashrama which seemed untenanted. Raama asked V iswaamitra: "Whose is this aashrama with ancient trees? Why does such a beautiful abode stand deserted?" Viswaamitra replied: "This aashrama is subject to a curse.  Sage Gautama lived here with his wife Ahalya,spending his days in peace and holy meditation. One day during the Sage's absence from the aashrama ,Indra filled with unholy desire for the beautiful Ahalya, entered it disguised as Gautama and approached the lady with urgent solicitation. She was not deceived by the impersonation., but vain of her beauty and proud that it had won her the love of the lord of the celestial s, she lost her judgement and yielded to his desire. "When the sin had been sinned, realizing its heinousness and the and the fierce spiritual energy of her betrayed hu...

RAMAYANA Contemporaneously with the yaaga in A yodhya there was a conference of the Devas in heaven. The Devas complained to Lord Brahma that  Raavana, king of the demons, drunk with the power acquired by the boon granted to him by Brahma, was causing them untold misery and hardship. they represented to Brahma:"It is beyond our capacity to subdue, conquer or kill  Raavana. In the security of your boon, he has grown wicked and insolent and ill-treats all, even women,  His desire is to dethrone Indra. You are only our only  refuge  and it is for you to devise a method by which Raavana can be slain and his despotism ended. " Brahma knew that he had granted to Raavana the boon prayed for by him that he should be invulnerable and invincible against Devas, Asuras,Gandharvas and other such beings. In his arrogance, Raavana did not care to ask for security against mankind. As Brahma revealed this fateful omission all the Gods rejoiced and turned to  Vishnu....
