006: Sita Rama Kalyana

Janaka explains about Shiva’s bow. It was a bow used in Daksha yagna. A bow that needs 150 people to move it. But Sita, as a toddler could push it. The finding of Sita… the meaning behind her name. Janaka experiences rain after 12 years as soon as he holds baby Sita in his hands. Some astonishing things Sita’s parents observed about her. How Rama picks up on the hint Vishwamitra packed into a sentence helping Rama pick the bow from the center. There’s a huge thunder and everyone except Rama, Lakshmana, Janaka and Vishwamitra fall unconscious. Rama insists his wedding happens right after King Dasharatha arrives. Sita was of very high character. She chose a lady Guru, Gargi and requested her father Janaka to setup a university exclusively for girls. Shatananda and Vasishta insist the remaining 3 sisters of Sita and 3 younger brothers of Rama too get wed. Sita kalyanam finally happens. Some of the mantras there are absolutely beautiful!. And explained by Dr Prabha. Entry of Parashurama has always fascinated me. Its today, I understand why Parashurama never came back until Mahabharata. I was surprised to know that Parashurama is still alive in the Himalayas. 10 years of blissful wedding before Ayodhya khanda starts.
