Dear Sriman Sadagopan,
Sreemathe Ramanujaya Namaha:
In the Divine Drama the inner meaning is as I have tried to describe. This
is not my imagination. It is what I have gleaned from listening to eminent
Scholars of Ubhaya Vedanta. Sita Piratti is enacting the role of Jeevathma
and SHE IS NOT just a Jeevathma. She is Divine Mother Herself. If you read
the whole article it is only mentioned that the Vedic Shastras are
incorporated as inner meanings in the Divine story of Ramayanam as well as
in Bhaagavatham and Mahaa Bhaaratam or for that matter in the various
Puraanaas. Also Anjaneya's role in Sundera Kandam is akin to that of an
Acharya. Here the roles of Acharya, Jeevathma, the Ananya Sharanatvam and
Paativratyam as enumerated by the Behaviour of Seeta Piratti in Asokavanam,
the nature of Lanka, Ravana, his ten heads all have inner meanings. Why
would the Lord come down to the Marthya Loka? Why would the Divine Mother
who could have simply turned Ravana into nothing by Her Sankalpam suffer
Herself to be abducted and then suffer the insults heaped upon Her by Ravana
and his minions? What does the Meya Mrigam episode teach us?
How can the Divine Mother not know that no golden deer exists? Can the
Divine Mother or The Lord commit any sin at all?
Seeta Piratti says that she could turn Ravana into ashes just by Her Tejus
and does not wish to liberate Herself. She wishes to be liberated by none
other than The Lord Himself. What does that tell us? Though She is all
powerful like The Lord She has only revealed by these the Ananya Sharanatvam
etc as enumerated in the Vaishnava Philosophy of Sri Ramanuja Darsanam.
In Bhagavat Geeta The Lord says that there is nothing in these three worlds
He covets or wishes to achieve. The same goes for The Divine Mother.
Why would the Lord consent to be a student of Sage Viswamithra or Vasishta
or Saandeepani? Where is the necessity for this when all knowledge emanates
from the Lord.
The moral of the story is that they only enact a drama for us to learn from
it. They are only ACTING. By that token The Divine Mother also is enacting a
role in the entire Raamaayanam and Sri Anjaneya as well.
Ultimately the greatest truth spoken by all great sages is that all of this
are His Leelas, His sport. He is the story teller, the script writer, the
director, the editor and the impartial witness as well. He has created the
sets required for shooting the picture as well as the tools. He is the best
actor and the Divine Mother the best actress as it was said by Anbil Mama
according to one mail in Srirangasri. There is no way one can define this
Srushti and the happenings in it and the all knowing sages , Rushis and
Munis have no more answers beyond this. Our Alwars and Acharyas take us
nearer and nearer to the source of all this so that we can, with the Grace
of The Lord and His Divine Consort experience His splendour.
Jai Srimannarayana:
Adiyen,
Ramanuja Dasan.
