Sita Devi was a divine gift to King Janaka, not born of mother's womb&daughter of the soil of Mithila. She grew with exceptional intelligence& virtues&skills at an extraordinary pace in the loving care of her foster father King Janaka. #ValmikiRamayana
King Janaka,a Rajarishi himself,gave way his daughter with pride to Sri Rama who won over her through his valor. Ek Patni Vratha of Sri Rama;Pativrata of Sita Devi make them inseparable.United in wedlock,love & duty centered around each other,They r full of joy like Vishnu w Sri!
Sita Devi did not come back w Hanuman from Lanka as she refused to touch any other man other than her husband.
To Agni she said - "If I am true to my husband in thought & deed, may thou act as a cooling influence on Hanuman"
That was why Fire neither burned Hanuman or Her!

Diwali round off 2019 ✨💥✨
The social & cultural ethos of Bharatvarsh flourishes in its loving familial bonds&festivals.Bharat probably has more festivals than any other in the world.Diwali is one such that brings harmony&celebration together!
Saw the film: Ramayana- The Legend of Prince Rama,by Yugo Sako.A great endeavour to appreciate Indo -Japan cultural &diplomatic relations. Shows Yugo’s diligent study of many Ramayana texts other than Srimad Valmiki’s. Film is moving. Invigorating.
A small decoration to invoke the welcoming of Rama & Sita, lighting flower pots w children, satsang with revered Swami Paramartananda Saraswati Ji, were some of the special moments of my Diwali! Wishing to be in Ayodhya for my next🙏🏼
Wishing you all Happy Navaratri Festival 🙏🏼

"Akandamandalaa Kaaram Vyapthamyena charaacharam
Tatpadam darshitam yena tasmai sri Gurave namaha"Here tatpadam is NOT Guru’s feet. It means my salutation unto that Guru who clearly shows me The Brahman /Atma/Self,that pervades the whole Universe.
My salutation to that Guru who makes me understand the reality ,the truth - The Truth that you are the limitless consciousness, the whole,ever happy, ever joyful! limited only with reference to the body , mind &sense organs. So goes the greatest teaching , the highest truth!
🌷
Guru is meant ONLY for that person who gives spiritual knowledge - the one who unfolds the "Maha vakya "that you are NOT separate from Isvara,that you are complete, free from any insecurity or limitation. And thats the final definition of a Guru!
