salvation. But someday if these ignorant people criticize Jain
        religion, then do not get carried away by their talks and leave
        this great religion because you will never find any alternative
        equivalent religion like Jainism. Also, your path of salvation
        will also be hampered in absence of Jainism.”
        This is an answer which makes Sitaji who she was, an answer
        that  we  need  to  carve  on  our  heart.  These  words  of  Sitaji
        reflect her real love for her husband as well as Jainism, her
        faith in the Karma theory and her courage to perceive every
        phase of life positively. There was no room for accusations,
        insults, sorrow or dejection in her life.

        Her  life  teaches  us  to  think,  speak  and  act  appropriately  at
        all times keeping only spiritual progress in mind.

        After  that  Sita  met  King  Varjrajangha  who  accepted  her  as
        her sister. Staying at his palace, she delivered twins – Lavana
        and Ankusha. Sita was so wise and matured that she did not
        disclose the bitter truth to them till they were approx. 18-20
        years old. She did not share her difficulties with them because
        she  considered  them  to  be  an  outcome  of  her  karmas  and
        hence there was no point in blaming and criticizing others for
        it.  Compare  this  point  of  view  to  our  thought  process.  The
        moment we face any problems we tell our problems or other’s
        faults to one another. Thus, we spoil our own well-being.

        We  can  become  like  Sita  if  we  constantly  keep  the  karma
        theory and our soul’s safety in mind.
        Sita  herself  never  revealed  the  tough  adversity.  When  her
        sons  got  to  know  about  the  reality  from  outside  they  came
        and confronted her saying, “Does our father think that Sitaji
        has no one to protect her ? But her protectors are ready who
        will  now  fight  for  her  justice  and  show  the  world  that  Sita
        has efficient protectors like us. Bless us so that we can attain
        victory in war.”
