coupleSITA RAM, SITA RAM, SITA RAM, JAYA SITA RAM

May Rama and Sita triumph

***

Ram and Sita represent the ideal couple with immense love, affection, feeling of sacrifice for each other and respect for each other’s existence.

Sita is known to be the most perfect model of a devoted wife and ideal mother. Rama, her male counterpart. Together, and for centuries, they have now been at  the core of faith of millions of Indians who find in them the prime source of their spiritual energy as well as material well-being, a ladder that leads to salvation as also to mundane heights, a model for righteous living, ideal home and perfect society, and a stay to tag with all their woes and miseries, achievements and failures, prospects and disappointments, strength and weaknesses. Sita, like Rama, her husband, seems to be one beyond time.

May we all be inspired by them as they represent the best in us.
