Guest guest Posted January 22, 1996 Report Share Posted January 22, 1996 The recent discussion on Sita and incidences in Ramayana that are questioable, is interesting. My comments: 1. Rama as youth going with Viswamitra is easily exolained. Vishwanitra does not need Rama's help since he has proved his power ( thri-sanku-swarga). However it provided Rama an ooportunty to learn and later meet Sita. @. But Sita's, Vali's and Surpanaka's fates are open to question. 3. If one tries to explain it on the basis of Karma, is not RAMA above it. After all HE can circumvent it for his devotee ( the pupose of Bhakti to achieve salvation). 4. From a women's point of view, the treatment of Sita is not pleasant, to the sat the least. The only explanation is that the status of women was not then what it is now. That way puranas are old fashioned in their narratives. Krishna Praba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
