Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 not Ram's idea for her to leave. It was Sita who said that a king is pledged to the welfare of his citizens, and that in order that no shadow of doubt be allowed to fall upon the king or upon the throne, she would leave to prove that Ram was greatest king of history; he would even sacrifice the welfare of his wife and children, his own happiness, and his every attachment in order to fulfill the will of the people.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Jai Sita Ram! Jai Hanuman! - Nanda Tuesday, April 11, 2006 7:14 AM 552--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI- Ram and Sita Question from Tejo Ram:Respected Swamiji, I have had a question though regarding the Ramayana. I don't understand why Ram does not take Sita back after she has been rescued and then even after proving her fidelity to Ram. I was really hoping for a happy ending there!! Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic, but it just seems like such a let down. There love is so celebrated and if Ram is so exemplary, why does he not take her back? How can he even doubt her? It seems so sad and a real let down.Swamiji's response:Ram never doubted Sita even for a moment. It was some of the citizens of Ayodhya who doubted her. And it was not Ram's idea for her to leave. It was Sita who said that a king is pledged to the welfare of his citizens, and that in order that no shadow of doubt be allowed to fall upon the king or upon the throne, she would leave to prove that Ram was greatest king of history; he would even sacrifice the welfare of his wife and children, his own happiness, and his every attachment in order to fulfill the will of the people. Greatness lies in sacrifice, and that is why we remember Ram and Sita today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
