Sita’s Righteousness
It was dharma that made Ram the rightful king of Ayodhya, and it was dharma that made Sita live the rest of her life raising two children in the forest. It was dharma that helped Ram defeat Ravana, and it was dharma that separated him from the love of his life.
While dharma made Ram follow rules even if it gave him unhappiness, Sita was under no such obligation. This is why the choices she made have had such a huge impact on the lessons the epic has to offer.
Sita’s Righteousness is a lesson in understanding the value of righteousness even in the most difficult circumstances. Narrated and illustrated by the inimitable Devdutt Pattanaik, this simple yet powerful story is a compelling read.
Sita’s Humility
Dharma is supposed to be the foundation of a civilized, peaceful society. However, it can also have a dark side that forces a man to be a king first and a husband later.
After Ram defeats Ravana in the epic fight that lasted ten days, Sita’s honour is saved, good has triumphed over evil, and everything wrong with the world has been righted. However, this is also the moment when Sita has to make her most humiliating choice.
Sita’s Humility is an intriguing tale of a woman’s resilience that has been beautifully narrated and illustrated in Devdutt Pattanaik’s straightforward style.
Sita’s Honour
Sita first meets Hanuman in the garden of Ashoka trees, where she has been held captive by Ravana, waiting for her husband to rescue her. Despite living in the land of demons with her honour being threatened every day, she has faith in Ram and his ability to save her. She is overjoyed when Ram’s messenger appears before her.
The mighty Hanuman is the bearer of good news, but he leaves with the burden of Sita’s most difficult choice—one that will prolong her suffering indefinitely instead of putting an end to it immediately.
Beyond the story of Ram and Ravana, Ramayana is the story of the only person who could make choices—Sita. Read on as Devdutt Pattanaik enlightens us with another story that highlights Sita’s virtuosity, with illustrations that bring the action alive.
