#VivahPanchami thread. Why did Shri Ram marry Mata Sita & what does it signify?

Tulsidas describes it as:

देखि सीय सोभा सुखु पावा। ह्रदयं सराहत बचनु न आवा।।
जनु बिरंचि जब निज निपुनाई। बिरचि बिस्व कहं प्रगटि देखाई।।

It means, seeing Sita, Ram was delighted. He was all praise for her in his heart; but said nothing. Her beauty seemed to him as if Brahma had presented the whole world’s beauty before his eyes.

Sita on the other hand kept praying to Paravati & wished Ram to be her husband.

Spiritual Significance:

Dashrath (Ten Chariots) represent 5 sense organs & 5 organs of action.

Ram represents pure form of Atman, i.e consciousness. Sita means Earth & represents मन (mind).

3/6 Image
When Ram married Sita, the marriage represents: Pure Light merging with the Mind, which gives birth to the human body.

When Consciousness (Ram) merges with mind (Sita), conflicts arise. Both enter the dark forest of attractions & distractions (वनवास).

4/6 Image
The whole Itihaas of Ramayan revolves around the re-union of the Mind with Consciousness.

Ram & Sita aren't merely two separate individuals. Sita is his reflection & Ram is Sita’s power of action. Their physical manifestation reflects a deeper unity between the two.

भुवन चारिदस भरा उछाहू। जनकसुता रघुवीर बिआहू।।
सुनि सुभ कथा लोग अनुरागे। मग गृह गलीं संवारन लागे।।

This means that everywhere there was an atmosphere of happiness. Ram & Sita got married & people started decorating the entire city.

Only Ananda prevails 🙏🏽

Here's the story of a brave lady & a true face of Feminism.

🧵
She was 10 when she got married to a man aged 30. During her marriage she was constantly taunted & beaten by her husband, despite bearing 3 sons.

She fought for injustice meted out to women from her village who went into the nearby forest to collect cow dung. In return people spread rumors about her character. It was enough to enrage her husband.

⚠️Most Misunderstood & Misinterpreted Shloka of Rigveda 1.164.46⚠️ - Thread

इन्द्रं मित्रं वरुणमग्निमाहुरथो स दिव्यो सुपर्णो गरुत्मान् ।
एकं सद्विप्राः बहुधा वदन्ति अग्निं यमं मातरिश्वानमाहुः ॥

Most people say that it means, "God is One".❌️❌️ Image
Actual meaning:

The word ‘sat’ (सत्) does not mean “truth”. It means “existence”. The same meaning is seen in the composite “sat-chit-ananda”. Image
The rishi in deep meditative state realizes that the innermost reality of everything is this cosmic principle of pure and absolute existence, consciousness and bliss. Image

Distorted/Funny Versions of Ramayana

1. Mappila

Ramayana was popular with both communities (isn't it obvious?). There are several versions of Ramayana but this gives it a humorous (read mocking) tone.

"This is the song the old bearded Saint sang a long time ago, the song that we saw as depicting the Lamayana story. We wait to hear it every monsoon."

All R's converted to L's. Rama becomes Lama & Ramayan becomes Lamayana.

When Islam was spreading all over, the Itihaas of Sanatan Dharm was also Islamized including Mahabharata & Ramayana.

The tradition of singing Lamayana is around 700 years old & got popularized by a Sufi Piranthan Hassankutty.
