WOMEN's FREEDOM IN RAMAYAN

 

 

Many in the earth have said the women are not treated properly and

their rights should be given and many acts are to be passed. All

these are said in our country for the sake of women. You can see one

thing ramayan that the major rights were enjoyed by women.

 

 

1. Who wanted Lord rama to go to exile. - It is women only

ie., Mantra.

 

2. Who wanted to go alongwith rama - Mother Sita and here u

can see one thing Guru Vaishta and all the elders of the family said

that Mother sita should not go, but mother sita insisted that she

will go alongwith rama. Whose words was successful. Whether it was

of rama or sita. ?

3. Who was disturbing the sacrifice of Vishwamitra – It was

tadaki women.

4. Whose desire was to have golden deer – It was mother sita's

desire for which rama went and he has to forgoe sita for one year.

5. Whose desire was to have rama in the forest – It was

shurpanaka for which misinterpreation was given by her to ravan and

created the fight.

 

Like this u can see many interesting character for which men have

been used and got their life's in trouble. Also I would like to

mention u know one thing who has given curse to Dasrathaji. It was

only mother of Sravan kumar not the father. One more thing u can in

sita syamvaram that men should break the bow and get married. So here

there was more preference given to women in the past and also now in

the present so their rights were always safeguarded.

 

Mahatma Gandhiji said that women are the weaker sections of the

society. It is wrong . You can also see that when Sage Yagnavalki

wants to go then he distributed his property to both the wife's but

one of his wife wants knowledge did he not imparted he very well

gave the brahma vidya .

 

 

So no where u can find that women were ill treated. It is in the

movies they have projected like that. Also I would like to say one

more interesting fact in ramayan.

 

Many say that Mother sita was facing lot of difficulties in the

earth . Can anybody say what are the difficulties she was facing?

 

 

I would like to explain the things with examples. See for vegeterian

people eating meat and other things are difficult , but they can stay

without foot . It is not difficult for them . Is is right or wrong.

If I think that without food is difficult I will very well eat the

meat and quench my hunger.

 

In the same way Mother sita staying in Lanka was not difficult

because if she thought that was difficult she would very well agreed

to the words of ravan and stayed with her in palace. But it was

difficult to stay in palace not in ashoka vatika. Is is right or

wrong.

 

Mother sita desire was to accompany rama in forest she did not feet

it as difficult that is why she accompanied him to forest. Also she

did not feel difficult in ashoka vatia that is why she stayed there

only.

 

I would not like to keep silent in the most interesting thing that

why did rama sent sita to forest after the exile of 14 years . I

would like to explain as follows as per my reading the books.

 

See one thing that already people at ayodhya were talking that sita

stayed in lanka and they were suspecting her purity. Sita itself is

purity and people who talk ill of sita has no place in hell also

please note it this is said in ramayan. But Lord rama was so kind

hearted he gave the place at vaikuntam for all the ayodhaya wasi.

See if rama could not have sent sita to forest people would have

labeled more worst on sita (say they would have even used most dirty

words on her) so to avoid those words lord rama sent sita to forest

and by sending her to forest people had sympathy on her and rama was

ready to bear the ill talk of him. Now only people are having

sympathy on sita and they are questioning why rama sent sita to

forest. You tell me has anybody have pleasure in sending owns' wife

to forest. Not yet only to avoid the dirty talks of the people in

ayodhya he sent sita and diverted the issue.

 

In my next writings I will write something about sita vivaha and sita

haran.

 

With due respects to all .
