SEETA'S RESOLVE

 RAMAYANA

"Something  troubles the mind of my lord," thought Seeta, "but what can anything matter so long as there is our love?" And she asked him: "What is the matter? Why do you look so strangely?"
Raama told the story briefly and then added: "Princess, my love, I can well imagine your sorrow at having to part from me and stay here.  Janaka's daughter requires not my guidance to her duty .  Be thoughtful of the comfort of the King and the three Queens --your mothers.  Do not expect any better treatment than that given to the other princesses in the palace.  Be respectful to Bharata who will be Ruler and guard against any offence to his feelings. Your love for me, I trust, will not grow any less during this absence.  I shall return from forest after these fourteen years. Till then do not neglect customary rites and ceremonies. Mother Kausalya in her sorrow will need your attentive care. Bharata and Satrughna are dear to me. You will look upon them as your brothers.  Conduct your self as befits your royal race and your own nature. Avoid extolling me so as to give possible offence to other good men. I must go to the forest today. Keep your mind study and calm."

When Seeta heard this unexpected speech, her love for for Raama manifested itself as anger that he should for a movement conceive that she could consent to part from him and live in comfort in the palace while he was a homeless wanderer in pathless forests.

BHAGAVAD-GITA

9-17
 I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire.  I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the purifier and the syllable om. I am also the Rg, the Sama and the Yajur Vedas. 

9-18
I am the goal, the sustainer, the master, the witness, the abode, the refuge, and the most dear friend.  I am the creation and the annihilation, the basis of everything, the resting place and the eternal seed.

9-19
O Arjuna, I give heat, and withhold and send forth the rain.  I am immortality , and I am also death personified.  Both spirit and matter are in Me. 

9-20.
Those who study the Vedas and drink the soma juice, seeking the heavenly planets, worship Me in directly. Purified of sinful reactions, they take birth on the pious, heavenly planet of Indra, where they enjoy godly delights.

పోతనభాగవతము

1-87
ఆ విధంగా వచ్చిన నారద మహర్షి వినయశీలుడూ, వేద విభాగ విద్యాసముల్లాసుడూ సంసార దుఃఖ దూరుడూ మనోవిజ్ఞానసాంద్రుడూ అయిన వ్యాసముని చంద్రుణ్ణి సందర్శించాడు. 

1-88
ఈ విధంగా తన ఆశ్రమానికి విచ్చేసిన నారదుణ్ణిచూచి లేచి పారాశర్యుడు యథావిథిగా పూజించాడు. అప్పుడు నారదుడు మధుర మందహాస మందర వదనారవిందంతో మహతీ విపంచిని మెల్లగా మీటుతూ ఇలా ప్రశ్నించాడు.  

మిగతాది..తర్వాత.

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....
