Ramasita.
The Raymayana is part of the Hindu smriti written by Valmiki. It recounts the journey of the prince Rama of Ayodhya whose wife, Sita, is abducted by the demon Ravana. According to Hindu tradition, Rama is an avatar or an incarnation of God and the main purpose of his reincarnation is to demonstrate the ideal human life on earth. In slaying the evil king Ravana he reestablishes a rule of religious and moral law.
However, the Ramayana is not just a memorable story, it also contains the teachings of ancient Hindu sages and presents them through an allegorical narrative. It is interspersed with philosophic and devotional passages. The characters of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Hanuman, and Ravana are all fundamental members of the cultural consciousness of India. Just as Christians historically believe in the birth of Jesus Christ, people of the Indian religions believe in the birth of Rama.
Rama’s wife Sita is the incarnation of the Goddess Lakshmi and, in her worldly form, becomes the ideal consort to Rama. It is said that together they live the life after which all persons on Earth should model their own. The story of the Ramayana recounts a series of trials of their devotion to one another. First the female demon Surpanakha attempts to seduce Rama, but he is unresponsive. His brother, Lakshmana, however, is angered by her inappropriate advances upon Rama and cuts off her nose. Unfortunately Surpanakha’s brother Ravana, a demon king, avenges his sister’s disfigurement by kidnapping Sita.
First Ravana uses a demon minion to lure Rama and Lakshmana away. Before he leaves, Rama draws a circle in the dirt around Sita to protect her. However, Ravana tricks her and lets out a cry that sounds like Rama suffering. When Sita rushes from the circle to find him Ravana whisks her away. The rest of the tale of the Ravayana follows Rama’s quest to locate and rescue his wife.
