13. Rama’s Regret and
Power of Destiny
Rama’s grief on not finding Sita :
Rama cried his heart out. He weeped out : “O Lord ! How
did I commit such a huge blunder of abandoning such a great,
noble, virtuous and pure-hearted woman like Sitaji in the
forest ? Lakshmana tried to persuade me to ignore people’s
comments and trust Sitaji’s purity. But I turned deaf ears
towards him. O God ! What did I do ? How mean and cruel
I am to send such a noble soul in the mouths of wild animals !
O my Sita ! Forgive me, I am your culprit. I am wicked
and worst. You made me your husband in this birth. But, do
not commit the mistake of accepting a man like me as your
husband in future births.”
"O virtuous Sita ! You enlightened this human birth by living
a true, meritorious life as a faithful wife. On the other side,
I darkened my birth by committing such a heinous crime of
cheating my wife.
What really happened to Sita ?
Sobbing and regretting his misdead, Rama returned home.
Now, the question here is that what really happened to Sita.
Was she hunted by wild animals or abducted by someone ?
The answer is that she was neither hunted or abducted but
was in safe hands. It so happened that the ruler of a nearby
state, King Vajrajangha was out on a ride. Coincidently
he happened to pass by and noticed Sita walking ahead.
