Know about the unique love story of Mother Sita and Lord Ram…
Sita Ram Love Story: The famous king, King Dasharatha, was celebrating the wedding of his eldest son Rama in the city of Ayodhya. When King Janaka of Mithila made the fateful decision to hold a grand Swayamvara for his beloved daughter Princess Sita, it set up the Sita Rama love story, which forms the basis of the entire Ramayana.
When the news spread about this big event, Ayodhya was in a frenzy. Joy and excitement filled the air as the royal entourage, led by the four courageous sons of King Dasharatha, made their way to Mithila. The journey was filled with stories of bravery, friendship and the promise of a unity that would last for generations.
On reaching Mithila, the grandeur of the Swayamvara mesmerized everyone who came its way. The building where the Swayamvara was to take place was adorned with grand decorations and the air was filled with the enchanting fragrance of flowers. Dressed in exquisite garments, Princess Sita made a grand entry and mesmerized the audience with her beauty and elegance.
Sita Ram Prem Katha: A Unique Test
King Janaka’s challenge was no ordinary challenge; it was a test to string the mighty bow of Lord Shiva. Despite the efforts of the other princes, the huge bow remained unbroken.
According to legend, Ravana too had participated in this swayamvara, but he was unable to draw the bow as Sita Maa did not love him. So Ravana left the swayamvara. However, the sacred bow broke when Ram Ji picked it up with unbroken meditation and divine power and attempted to string it. Picking up the bow, which none of the princes could even move, Ram Ji broke it. As soon as this event happened, cheers erupted in the assembly.
The thunder of the assembly confirmed that Ram was the worthy husband of Princess Sita.
Sita gently smiled and placed the jaimala around Ram’s neck. This gesture depicts the heavenly union of two magnificent souls. The air resonated with sacred energy on seeing the divine couple taking vows in front of the sacred fire.
