Appearance of Sita Devi by Ramai Swami

2515244231?profile=original

Sita devi, the wife of Lord Rama, was not born in the normal way, but of the Earth Goddess, Bhumi devi herself. In Maharishi Valmiki’s own words, Ramayana is known as the noble story of Sita — “Sita-Ayah Caritam Mahat”.

Janaka Maharaj, the king of Mithila, was ploughing a piece of land to prepare it for conducting a yajna. While ploughing, he unearthed a golden casket in which he found a beautiful girl, which caused him to be greatly overjoyed. Because land ploughed by the yoke is called ‘sita’, he named the baby, Sita.

Sita devi was to be given in marriage to anyone who could bend the powerful bow given to Janaka by Lord Siva. Lord Rama succeeded in bending that great bow and he married Sita. Their later, inconceivable pastimes are presented throughout Sri Ramayana.

  • आद्या सा प्रकृति सीता आद्यस्तु पुरुषोत्तम।

    गुणातीतो भवान्नित्यो नित्यभुता सनातनी।।

    That first nature (आदि प्रकृति) is Sita and the first is the best of men.( श्रीराम ही आदि पुरुषोत्तम हैं). Transcendental to the modes of nature, you art eternal, ever-being, eternal.

    Maha sundari tantra

    सर्व कार्य नियन्त्री च सर्वभूतेश्वरी ।

    अनादिरव्यक्तगुणा महा नन्दा सनातनी ॥

    You are the controller of all actions; you are the supreme goddess of All the creatures; you are eternal and without a beginning; you are invisible, subtle, unmanifest, attributeless and without any definitions; you are an embodiment of great beatitude and felicity; and you are ancient, eternal and universal.

    -SriRama to Mata Sita, Adhbhut Ramayana

    श्रीरामो भगवान पुर्णः कलाभिः पुरुषोत्तमः।
    कोटिलक्ष्मीसहस्त्रणाम् अशंनि जनकात्मजा।।
    एतयारेव दिव्यांशो राधाकृष्णात्मकौ ब्रजे।
    अन्याश्च सकला गोप्यस्तदंशाशां उदीरिता।।
    द्वारिकायां रुक्मिणीयं महालक्ष्मी महेश्वरी।
    अन्याश्च सत्यभामाद्यास्तदंशा सहजात्मिका।।


    Shri Ram is bhagwan of all kalas. Thousands of maa laxmi emanates from maa sita. From divine portions of shri Sita Ram, Radha Krishna does lila in vrindavan. All Gopis, mahalaxmi Rukmini, bhu Devi avtar satyabhama are all parts of maa sita.

    ~adi ramayan

    गोलोकोऽयं स एवात्र दृश्यते पुरस्तथा।
    सीताऽऽभिलासपसंभुत्यै रामेण विनिर्मितः।।

    The highest lok "golok" had been created by shri ram only to fulfill maa sita's wish

    (ब्रह्दब्रह्म संहिता)

    "RAghava (Śrī Rāma) shines with SitA on the divine throne in world of SAketa (AyodhyA) where BrahmA, Shiva and Vishnu constantly worship him. He (Lord Rāma) is surrounded by many divine fish incarnations, monkeys and also by plentitude of the Narasimhas or Narasimha incarnations, tortoise incarnations, and sons of Sri Nanda, i.e Sri Krishna, Haya, Gala, and Hari. They all are eager to receive the orders of Lord Rama. Keshava, Vamana the foremost persons, Narayana, Yudhisthira, Shri Krishna, Haladhrik BalaRAma and VAsudeva, the enemy of the demon Madhu as well as various kinds of Mahendras and millions of Goddess Durgas, eager for advice, remain always in front of Sri Rama (Śrī Rāma) near His feet". Here, the epithet Nanda nandana signifies that form of Lord Krishna, who delights Nanda and dwells in MathurA, while Sri Krisna refers to the one who resides in DwArika.

    ~adi ramayan पुर्व खंड, अ 25


    जानक्यांश आदि सम्भुतानेक ब्रह्माण्डकारिणीं। सा मुलप्रकृतिर्ज्ञेयां महामाया स्वरुपिणी।।

    ~ All shaktis are originated from Maa Sita's ansh kala and she playfully creates infinte universes. Sarveshwari adi jagatjanni maa sita is hence called as adi Devi and mul prakruti and is independent ruler of all.

    (śrī Mahā Rāmāyanam)


    ज्ञानं सीतानाम तुल्यं न किञ्चित्, ध्यानं सोता नाम तुभ्यं न किचित् । भक्तिः सीतानाम तुल्यं न काचित्, तत्त्वं सीता नाम तुल्यं न किञ्चित् ॥ ६ ॥
    नान्यः पन्था विद्यते चात्मलब्धी, नान्यो भावो विद्यते चापि लोके । नान्यद् ज्ञानं विद्यते चापि वेदेष्वेवं सीतानाम मात्र विहाय ॥ १० ॥

    ~ There is no gyana equivalent to The name of Sri Sita, There is no Bhakti equivalent to Sri Sita Nama and There is no Tattvam Equivalent to Sri Sita. The one who Recites Her name with Love, That person has got The Greatest gyana, That Person is the Greatest Bhakta and That Person Knows The True Tattvam of Vedas. That Gyana of Vedas, devoid of Love for Her name, is of no value. For Self realisation and Realising The Supreme Atma, Sita Nama is the only way, There is no other gyana or way in the vedas. Therefore, All wise ones should Recite Sita Nama.

    (Sri Brahma Ramayana 66.9-10)


    आद्या सा प्रकृति सीता आद्यस्तु पुरुषोत्तम।
    गुणातीतो भवान्नित्यो नित्यभुता सनातनी।।

    That first nature (आदि प्रकृति) is Sita and the first is the best of men.( श्रीराम ही आदि पुरुषोत्तम हैं)
    Transcendental to the modes of nature, Thou art eternal, ever-being, eternal.

    Maha sundari tantra


    सर्वशक्तिमयी सीता गुणातीतो चिदात्मिका।
    निमिषार्द्धे जगत्सर्वं क्योंकि विकरोति।।

    Maa Sita is omnipotent (सर्वशक्तिमयी)and transcends the modes of nature. Because she transforms or creates the whole world in half a moment.

    Brahma samhita


    सर्वदेवम समुत्पन्ना सर्वदेवमयी ईश्वरी।
    सर्वपोरूषवल्ली च सर्वधर्म अधिकारिणी।।

    Maa Sita is the Goddess from whom all the gods originates and contains all the gods. She is the one who grants porush (धर्म, अर्थ, काम, मोक्ष) of all men and the authority of all religions.

    Rudrayamal tantra


    सर्वे अवताराः श्री रामचंद्रेचरणेखाभ्यः समुद्भवन्ति तथा अन्य कोटि विषृणुश्चतुर्व्युहश्च समुद्भवन्ति एवमयपराजितेश्वरपरिमिताः परनारायणादयः अष्टभुजा नारायणादयश्च अनंतकोटि संख्यकाः बुद्धाजंलिपुरा सर्वकालं समुयाक्ताः।

    Atharvved Viswambar upanishad .

    All avtars have originated from foot prints of shri Ram. Even Narayan has emerged from Shri Ram himself. Sarveshwari adijagadamba maa Sita and sarveshwar swaym bhagwan shri Ram are engaged in playtimes in ayodhya where all devas give salutations to the Sita Ram yugal sarkar.
