Why was Angad chosen for a diplomatic representation of Rama and sent for thelast face of negotiations with Ravan to avoid the war and the carnage if possible. 'Lord's play' (i.e.- this 'leela' of the Lord, regarding Sita Mata).The organizing committee and several celebrities belonging to various different fields of life in Bakersfield city expressed their pleasure and gratitude to Bapu for selecting this city for the Ram katha.ĭeclaring that katha is a satsang, Bapu chose the spiritual mythological interpretation of the personality and characteristics of Angad as the central theme on which this katha would be focused. It got burnt and then we have the Pure (Original) 'roop' of Mata Sita. It can be affected by the effect of Maya (i.e.- 'worldly pollutions & impurities'). 'Secret shadow' is the replica of original Sita Mata. This happening is narrated in the lines you quoted. Later, during Agni pariksha sequence, Shri Ram asked Agnidev to return Original Mata Sita, and then He gets back her. Which also means that the Sita abducted by Ravan was only a replica of Original Sita Mata. Was inactive here for a long time.Ĭoming to your question- In Ramchritmans ('Aranya kaand', between Doha 23 and 24), Tulsidasji conceived the idea of 'Chhaya Sita' (i.e.- a reflection of Original Sita mata), whom Shri Ram kept in the care of Agnidev during Vanvaas (i.e.- Aranya kaand). Sitaji came and stood beside Shri Ram and she looked gorgeous & beautiful left side part of Lord as if a golden lotus bud is shining near a fresh navy blue lotus.) (Then after taking the human form, Fire God appeared and holding the hands of real Sitaji known to be symbol of truth by Vedas, he presented her to Shri Ram the way Ocean gifted Lakshmiji to Vishnu. Nav neel neeraj nikat maanahu kanak pankaj ki kali. So Ram baam bibhaag raajati ruchir ati sobha bhali Jimi ksheer saagar Indiraa Ramhi samarpi aani so Sitaji's secret shadow only burnt which was prone to be affected worldly pollutions & impurities and Lord's play couldn't be understood by anyone present over there and all Gods & achiever saints were stunned looking at this from the sky.)ĭhari roop paavak paani gahi Shri satya shruti jag bidit jo Who is worshipped by Lord Shiv & whose feet are purely loved by Sitaji herself Sitaji entered the burning woods which were as cool as sandal for her. (Remembering & cheering the victory of Lord Ram - the Lord of the Kaushal kingdom, Prabhu charit kaahu na lakhe, nabh sur siddh muni dekhahi khare. Pratibimb aru laukik kalank prachand paavak mahu jare Jay Kosales Mahes bandit, charan rati ati nirmali
Shrikhand sam paavak prabes, kiyo sumiri Prabhu Maithili (Sitaji saying/thinking in mind: "If I haven't sought any shelter other than Raghuvar in life by my thoughts, speech or actions then O FireGod - knowledgeable of state of mind of all! Please become cool like sandal for me.) Looking at burning powerful fire, Sitaji didn't have any fear in heart but had joy instead.) (Looking at the angry/serious face of Shri Ram, Lakshmanji ran & brought the wood for generating fire.
(Listening to Sitaji's words full of sorrow of parting, wisdom & sense of duty, Lakshman got tears in eyes with hands joint, but couldn't say anything to Lord.) (Obeying the words of Lord, Sitaji, pious by thoughts, speech & actions, said: "O Lakshman! You become helpful in following of duty & quickly generate fire for me over here".) (For that reason, graceful God uttered some harsh words listening to which, the demonesses started becoming anxious.) Sunat jaatudhaani sab, laagai karai bishaad. (Listening to the words of lord, bears & monkey became joyful Gods showered flowers from the sky Firstly, Ramji had kept Sitaji safe with Fire God, and now the knowledgeable of that internal secret wants to bring her in front of all.)Įhi kaaran Karunaanidhi, kahe kachhuk durbaad
