Goddess Lakshmi watched with pride
As He descended to the Earth
She waited for a little while
To also take a birth
She is Lord Vishnu's precious heart
His shakti (strength and power) and His joy
Sita emerged in Mithila from the Earth
King Janak's spirit did fly
Goddess Lakshmi takes a human birth as Sita who is considered the daughter of the Earth Goddess. She was found in a field by the King of Mithila, Janak who was childless. His joy knew no bounds.
Lord Rama and Sita demonstrated the power and the meaning of relationships by being together in their human incarnations and facing many circumstances together.
Sita and King Janak show us that one can have meaningful and loving relationships without being biologically related and that successful relationships are made by attitudes and love.
Sita emerging from the Earth also signifies the healing of the Earth Goddess' ravaged heart and soul, giving new life to the Earth.
Goddess Lakshmi is Lord Vishnu's spiritual consort and they are the life force of each other and of all creation across infinite Universes. They adore each other and bring each other infinite joy. And throughout all Universes they work together to spiritually lift beings and spread the message of love. They are the perfect example of spiritual soul mates.
Contrary to some belief that soulmate relationships can be difficult and break open the worst in each other for soul growth, it is my belief that soul mates bring each other great joy and peace and these relationships are serene and harmonious. That however doesn't mean that they won't face difficulties or that their life path will be smooth and trouble free, it means that their relationship together even in the face of hard times and difficulties, remains harmonious.
When spiritual soul mates incarnate together on Earth, they come to serve a common spiritual purpose, usually in uplifting humanity.
The term soulmates shouldn't be used loosely. Soul mates are spiritual associations whose essence is pure love and who connect energetically across space and time whether near or far. This love is divine and deep and recognition is with the soul.

And the Blog-A-Rhythm AtoZ posts featuring many bloggers
The Ramayana is a historical chronicle of events during the life of Lord Rama in an ancient time in a land called Bharatvarsh a part of which is now modern day India.
This year's theme was given to me through meditation. But more than just a theme I was also asked to write this from the perspective of Divine love and not just a recounting of the events as they took place. Hence the essence of my posts is "Love is in the air".
The individual theme and tone of my verses are also given to me. And I try to convey what Spirit wants to say through my poetry and prose. In essence, I only transcribe what is given to me, the author of these posts is my soul, the Universe, God and Goddess.
Warm Regards

ReplyDeleteThanks Sanch. There are many intricate connections between Lakshmi, Sita, destiny, karma but that would need a whole book :)
DeleteWonderful expnlanation Suzy :) You have puttogether the meaning of soulmates beautifully, which is used very lightly these days!
ReplyDeleteCrux

DeleteRama and Sita were exemplary couples, they were soul mates and they showed how a husband and wife should support each other in good and bad times. Love is indeed in the air :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Prasanna. Glad you wrote those words. There are so many who focus only on all the negative aspects of the Ramayana but its essence is purely love.
DeleteIndeed! when you love your partner so dearly, how can you not be together in all lives? love is in the air!
ReplyDeleteThanks Little Princess. Rama and Sita shared such a deep love, it is beyond human thinking.

ReplyDeleteThanks Shilpa. Loving your posts too.
DeleteI just loved the narrative. One need not be biologically connected as you have truly mentioned in your post for sharing a lovely relationship.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ajay. We often forget that relationships are based on love, respect and attitude and not on connections - biological or other.
DeleteLove these lines, '
ReplyDeleteWhen spiritual soul mates incarnate together on Earth, they come to serve a common spiritual purpose, usually in uplifting humanity.'
Your posts are like a prayer, soothing and healing.
Thanks Sulekha. You have given me a wonderful compliment. And I am so happy that you find a prayer in my posts. My writing has become worthwhile. Many blessings.
DeleteThere is so much depth to the word soul mate; we use it callously! Successful relations are made by attitude and love- this is so true!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vidya. Soulmates are deep associations that we tend to forget when we used it in today's world.
DeleteThank you for showing that soul mates means divine love and harmony joy and peace and togetherness in face of all circumstances and that they're not necessarily free of difficulties.
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan. I've been meaning to put down my thoughts for a long time as when I often read some interpretations, my whole being rebels.

HOLLYWOOD NUTS!
Come Visit: You know you want to know if me or Hollywood... is Nuts?
Thanks Jeremy. I'm enjoying your movie posts and learning about movies I've never heard of. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteI just love mythology and how it relates to the human condition. You have illustrated the true meaning of what a soul mate should be.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. Glad my interpretation resonated with you.
DeleteI always wonder about soul mates, I heard that soul mates can be romantic or they can be our children, mother, father, friends and then there are twin souls. Twin souls seem to be intense experiences, what do you think about the idea of twin souls?
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly. I too believe that soul mates can come through as any relationships. I think as human beings we like to calibrate each relationship and mine always needs to be more intense than yours and how better than to say mine is a twin soul relationship. All souls are connected because we are all connected to the great Spirit. the intensity of our relationships are individual to us. For me the crux is in the common spiritual purpose. Hope this made sense. Perhaps after the AtoZ I'll think of a soulmate series.
DeleteI LOVED this poem. Shared it with my mom. She loved it too.
ReplyDelete*Shantala @ ShanayaTales*
