Day 10 A to Z Challenge 2015 - Joining
Sita to Gauri Mata did request
It's only Rama with whom I'll go
Then at Vishwamitra's kind behest
Did Rama lift up the bow
A garland of flowers in Sita's trembling hands
Heart beating in joy and desire
She placed it around the neck of Rama
His demeanour calm but heart on fire
Gauri Mata - one of the benevolent manifestations of Goddess Parvati.
With Rama remaining firm in his place, Sita requests Divine intervention. Sita's human side takes over, she prays hard for what she wants, just like we do. All through life we believe that we are invincible, we can do it all by ourselves and then when things don't go our way, we look to the heavens and ask Divinity to bring us the things we want. But nothing happens by chance and what is destined is bound to occur but in Divine timing.
Rama waited patiently until Guru Vishwamitra gave him permission to lift the bow. At this time not only was he under the care of the Guru but Rama recognized the need for the perfect moment for this great event to take place. The cosmos is like a musical orchestra and each note finely tuned to create the perfect melody. Each event has its moment in time and space, a moment too soon or a moment later and the balance of the cosmos is shaken, the melody distorted. Rama understood that Guru Vishwamitra would provide him with the most appropriate moment for this momentous occasion.
Rama's lifting of the bow and breaking it signals the crossover from being in the care and protection of his father and teachers to where he now stands in his own right. It also signals the moment when a Divine strength amplifies, the joining together of God and Goddess to commence their spiritual purpose on Earth. The breaking of the bow sends thunderous reverberations across the cosmos signalling a warning to some and is a cause for great joy to others, just like the thunder and rain that is a blessing to a drought stricken land and a cause for concern where waters are in flood.
Such a moment of joy for Sita and Rama. His gazed lovingly fixed on Sita as she walked up to him, her eyes darting up and down stealing his glances. Sita emotional and heart beating wildly desirous yet nervous, Rama's calm demeanour trying to put her at ease and reassuring her. Their loving energies entwining and setting their hearts on fire. Both savouring this glorious and divine moment and consecrating it to their memory. Both never once doubting if this was the right thing to do, for a soul made connection is never in doubt. God and Goddess enjoying their human encounter. Such a beautiful moment.
Rama and Sita so in love head off to Ayodhya. What awaits them there is brought to you by the letter K tomorrow.
Love is in the air. May you all know that Divinely blessed love of your life when the moment arrives, never in doubt always in love.

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

This is such a lovely story, Suzy and your poetry really brings it to life. Have you ever thought of publishing this in book form?
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. Hadn't thought of that and really wouldn't know how to go about publishing. Oh wow I'm bowled over by your comment. Thank you so much for such a nice compliment. <3
DeleteMy pleasure - well deserved! ☺ Self-publishing is making things easier now. Something to think about.
DeleteThanks Debbie. Will research the self publishing options. Thank you so much.
DeleteI imagine the joining of the God and the Goddess would be quite powerful! :) <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Elly. Yes very powerful and there's more to come too :)
DeleteAaahhh, what a lovely story Suzy, and you write it so beautifully. I remember in Mumbai, visiting Banganga tank for the first time, and I think they said Lord Rama with his bow was said to have made that originally..:-) Im hooked, and will come back to see what awaits them ... starting wth K... Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Eli. Yes very true, Banganga was made by Lord Rama's arrow. He brought the Ganges to that part of the land. hence Ban (arrow) Ganga (Ganges), Perhpas this was the Jatayu part of the story.
DeleteTiming is all ..I love how you say that Suzy: 'The cosmos is like a musical orchestra and each note finely tuned to create the perfect melody'.
ReplyDeleteI second Debbie D's saying about a book/ebook or however ...
Have a lovely weekend!
Thanks Susan. Such a nice compliment that you think this is good enough to publish.
DeleteSuch love reflected in your narration
ReplyDeleteThanks Lata. I tried to bring out that moment of love best I could.
DeleteThat is indeed a beautiful moment. Blessed are those who have found their soul mates on Earth and get to live their life with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks Prasanna. Yes they are most blessed. But soulmates rarely incarnate together unless it is for a common purpose in uplifting humanity.
Deleteawww how beautifully you have narrated the story :) Lovely
ReplyDeleteThanks Rajlakshmi. Glad you liked it.
DeleteI am in awe over how you can narrate this story for the A to Z Challenge using each letter in order. Thank you for introducing me to this story from your religion/culture. As I've mentioned before it teaches universal lessons and I've been enjoying it. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThanks Alana. It's my pleasure to introduce and write this. So glad you like it so much as it is one of my favourites and so close to my heart.

ReplyDeleteThanks Sulekha. Perfectly said.
DeleteAha! "His demeanour calm but heart on fire". That's such a lovely expression Suzy! Loving the way the story is progressing! :)
