Similarities Between Sita And Sita

Sita is a hidden hero because she shows respect, pure, sincere, and loyalty to her beloved husband even when she was tortured. Sita, Rama's wife, is the rebirth of the goddess Lakshmi. She’s a young beautiful woman, who is in love with Rama. Sita accompanies Rama into the forest on his "quest" and was nabbed by Ravana. When Ravana abducted her, he imposed her to marry him. She was very loyal to her husband and refused Ravana. In the novel Ramayana, it states that Sita accepts the torture of Ravana and Demon Rakshasa, but still doesn’t accept Ravana as her husband. Sita dismisses Ravana’s advances, guard. Even when Rama started losing faith in

The epic story of Rama and Sita, as portrayed by Valmiki’s Ramayana and the modern day film Sita sings the Blues are two different versions of the same story which contain several contrasts as well as similarities. The Ramayana is the ancient version which was written by a sage named Valmiki in 550 B.C.E, featuring a love story between an ideal prince and an ideal woman. It outlines the adventures of Rama in his journey to find his abducted wife Sita. Rama is portrayed as an avatar, being the eighth incarnation of one of the Hindu gods Vishnu, while Sita is representing Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of light. The modern day version of the Ramayana is seen in Sita Sings the Blues, where the animator Nina Paley is relating her love story to that of Sita’s predicament. This paper will compare and contrast the epic story of Valmiki’s Ramayana and Sita Sings the Blues in the quest for power, honor, faithfulness and the conflict between good and evil.

The Ramayana is an Indian epic which demonstrates what it means to be the perfect man or woman in Indian culture. Due to the story’s mass popularity, there have been many renditions created about it. One of those versions is Sita Sings the Blues, an animated film version of The Ramayana created by Nina Paley in 2008. Because of the significant time difference between The Ramayana and the modern Sita Sings the Blues, the values presented in the two works differ, as indicated in several ways. One particular event within the two interpretations that displays both similarities and differences is when Sita is captured by Ravana.

In the story Ramayana of Valmiki is a story that has often been passed down from generations from the original version of the story. In the story the Ramayana majority of the Ramayana’s view Sita as the wife who follows her husband when he is exiled for fourteen years who upholds her chastity when she is abducted by the Rakshasa king Ravana who goes through the ring of fire to prove her chastity (Anand). During the tenure of the abduction even after passing all these tests quietly, leaves her husband Rama who is the ideal man. When an ordinary washer man from his kingdom tells Rama about Sita of the doubts of her character forcing him to leave her. Despite the culture that these people live in an Indian society Valmiki’s Ramayana is one of those stories that compares women as creatures rather than humans as men use to treat woman as property. In the Ramayana culture they expect the wife the woman to be a virtue a figure assigning no reciprocal duties to the husband. In the sense the wife is nothing more than just a piece of property to her husband.

For instance, the burning of brides is a common issue that takes place. When a female does not meet the requests of her demanding husband she may suffer by being publicly burned alive for everyone to see. This is a rather crude way to treat the wife, but in the eyes of many Hindu husbands they must suffer the consequences. The common problem for such a drastic result is often the offspring that the wife produces. The demand of a male offspring is of high request. More commonly the child is brutally injured or murdered. Many Hindu texts discuss the significance of the Hindu women and their values. Yet, many of their important factors are not often taken heed of. By analyzing sacred text, you will then see that there was equality of the male and female gods and goddesses. This brings about the curiosity as to why females are treated so

Devi is not merely a goddess of fertility, sex or childbirth, she is “known by [a] myriad of names and personified in many forms” (“Devi: The Great Goddess”), such as Durga the cosmic warrior, Sarasvati the goddess of learning and music, and Sita the heroine of Ramayana. One constant remains, however. Devi is immensely powerful and a prominent part of any society or religion in which she is worshipped, so much so that she represents the very “powerful spiritual energy” (“Devi: The Great Goddess”) which fuels her male counterparts (such as Brahma and Vishnu). Above all else, Devi is the symbol of divine femininity in all its incarnations: as a gentle mother, pure woman, loving creator, vengeful destroyer, loyal lover, and the very energy of

In Sita Sings the Blues, Paley has an alternate, customized picture of Sita. All through the motion picture we see that Sita is crying, and is assuming the part of the casualty instead of being solid and following the Dharma of Indian culture. Paley conflicts with the conventional understanding and overlooks the possibility of Dharma in general and social perspective. The account of Rama and Sita in Ramayana goes ahead and Rama who was viewed as the perfect child and spouse, abandons Sita after she was captured, trusting that she was touched by another man making her debased and not deserving of him. She is surrendered by her significant other to live in a timberland while she was pregnant with Rama 's twin young men. Regardless she remains faithful to him and brings forth two young men and shows them to love their dad and regard him like a God.

This story began about 2,500 years ago in the kingdom of Ayodhya. In a happy land there was a wise and powerful king name Dasharatha. King Dasharasha had three beautiful and intelligent wifes.

He went to his palace and informed to his ministers that he wants to marry Mahadevi. Ministers went to nirmalashetti house to describe the message of the king. The Akkamahadevi parent’s nirmalashetti and sumati got fear and informed her king’s decision. Mahadevi rejected the proposal of the minister saying that he is non Shaivate. Mahadevi was a devotee of Chenna Mallikarjuna from her childhood and decided to marry only him, not any earthly

Sita is the only woman who captures the attention of readers and audience in the Indian epic poem Ramayana. Sita has been interpreted several times for the way her life had been. She is born of the earth and gets consumed by the earth. Sita’s biological parents are not known. But the mother of Sita is a God. While living the life of a human, this God incarnate figure of Goddess Lakshmi is the foster daughter of King Janaka who takes care of her and brings her up with all the love and care but then finally offers her in marriage after the swayamvara. Looking closely at this, we find that Sita even though without biological inheritance could not be outside the patriarchal realm where the daughter would be offered to a man in marriage

The history of Bihar is very ancient. In fact, it extends to the very dawn of human civilization. Earlier stories and legends of Hinduism the Sanatana (Eternal) Dharma - are associated with Bihar. Sita the consort of Lord Rama, was a princess of Bihar. She was the daughter of King Janak of Videha. The districts of Muzaffarpur, Sitamarhi, Samastipur, Madhubani, and Darbhanga, in north-central Bihar mark this ancient kingdom. The present small township of Sitamarhi is located here. According to legend, the birthplace of Sita is Punaura, located on the west side of Sitamarhi, the headquarters of the district. Janakpur the capital of King Janak and the place where Lord Rama and Sita were married, lies just across the border in Nepal. It is reached via the rail station of Janakapur Road which is located in the Sitamarhi district on the Narkatiyaganj - Darbhanga section of the North-Eastern Railway. It is not an accident, therefore, that was the original author of the Hindu epic The Ramayana Maharishi Valmiki lived in Ancient Bihar. Valmikinagar is a small town and is a railroad station in the district of West Champaran, close to the railhead of Narkatiyaganj in northwest Bihar. The word Champaran is derived from champa-arnya, or a forest of the fragrant Champa (magnolia) tree.
