Guest guest Posted November 18, 2002 Report Share Posted November 18, 2002 Her name means furrow, the line made by the plow, and she is closely identified with rain, soil, richness and balance. Sita and Ram are understood to embody the divinity of Laxmi and Vishnu. In this relationship Sita represents good luck, well-being, abundance and fertility and Ram epitomizes wisdom, righteousness and stability. She was also great mediator and lived prime of her life in meditation in serenity of forests ************************ Auspicious Sita, come thou near: We venerate and worship thee That Thou mayst bless and prosper us And bring us fruits abundantly. May Indra press furrow down, May Pushan guide its course aright. May She, as rich as milk, be drained for us Through each succeeding year Rg-veda 4.57. 6 – 7 The hymns of Rg veda ************************ Goddess, you are the alter's center in the sacrifice, The priest's fee Sita to those who hold the plough, And earth to all living beings.
