Sita Rama

"You said we will talk about Rama's treatment of Sita. Should we?" "Now might be as good a time as any other. Why not?" "So why the Agni Pareeksha? Why banish a pregnant lady to the jungles?" "Slow down. Before we discuss that, let us try and define Dharma, as we know that Rama's philosophy was rooted in Dharma" "I agree. But they say Dharma is to follow the Shastras. Now that is a big ask. Shastras are voluminous and endless" "We have the essence of everything in the Gita. Remember, understanding and appreciating Rama and his path is best done after a reading of Gita" "So be it. What's the essence of Dharma?" "Dharma is based on a three dimensional perspective of life and it's vagaries. First dimension is to accept that everything happening to anyone is based on Prakriti or Vidhi or 'the system'" "So we two talking here is predestined and not because I was curious?"
