SEETA'S RESOLVE

 RAMAYANA

Seeta's eyes filled with tears, " Tigers, Lions, bears, Snakes,--none of them will come near me. They will flee from us at the sight of you. The Sun, rain, wind and hunger and the spikes and thorny shrubs you speak  of--I shall endure them all cheerfully.


I am not in the least afraid, and on the other hand you may be certain life will depart from this body if you leave me here and go.

"When I was in Mithila," she said, " the Brahmanas and astrologers told my mother that I was destined to live in the forest for a while.  Can I fulfill this prediction alone in the forest ? Here is the opportunity for me to fulfill it in your company which will make the forest  a garden of delight. For whom is forest life unpleasant? Only to those men and women  who have not controlled their senses.  You and I can be masters of our senses and miss nothing. I implore you, put me not away from you, for parting from you is more cruel than death."

There is a strength  in supreme love which defines reason and laughs at death itself, and Raama suffered himself to be persuaded--partly because of his love was great as hers and every passionate word she spoke found ready lodgment in his heart, and partly because he was confident of his ability to protect her. It was settled that Seeta should accompany Raama to the forest.

She sent for the poor and gave away all her belongings and prepared herself for life in the forest. Lakshmana also decided to go with his brother and be of service to him  in the forest., and Raama had to agree.  The three went to take leave of the aged King

BHAGAVAD-GITA

9-25
Those who worship the demigods will take birth among the demigods; those who worship the ancestors go to the ancestors; those who worship ghosts and spirits will take birth among such beings; and those who worship Me will live with Me.

9-26
IF ONE OFFERS ME WITH LOVE AND DEVOTION A LEAF, A FLOWER, A FRUIT, OR WATER , i WILL ACCEPT IT.

9-27
Whatever you do , whatever you eat, whatever--you offer or give away, and whatever austerities you perform-- do that, O son of Kunti, as on offering to Me.

9-28

In this way you will be freed from bondage to work and its auspicious and  inauspicious results.  With your mind fixed on Me in this principle of renunciation, you will be liberated and come to Me. 

Contd..next.

అప్పుడు నారద మహర్షితో వ్యాసమహర్షి ఇలా అన్నాడు. 

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....
