Suddenly, I felt betrayed and angry at Rama. Even more so because despite this great sin----
God incarnate he may be, but he is still a man bound by the senses - including the illusions/suspicions of the mind. -------
I have tried to justify Rama's behavior at the end many, many times. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But my mind keeps coming back to one thought. If a man did this act today - abandoned his pregnant wife in the woods - he would be viewed as a monster, not as the ideal man.
Thank you!
I am having trouble understanding the intention of Jodhaa, does Ram need your approval ?
How will you ever understand Ram if you think he is capable of sin, that he is under the influence of senses or imply that he is a monster?
For those who know Ram as God would also know that he is inseparable from his Sakti, rest is what ever lesson we take from his lila, certainly not what you conclude by reading Ramayan once and suddenly it becomes best, your favriote. now why don't I believe that!
Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.
