- Sri Rama is Maha-Vishnu' s 7th Avatara ( incarnation) .
- Ramayanya has 7 parts .
- Sita was abandoned when She was 7 months pregnant .
Why this numeral "7" is so auspicious ?
In Vedic astrology, the 7th house means * Grihasta-ashrama* ( Householder life) . In Ramayana, we can see the best Householder in Sri Rama . That is why Sri Ravindranath Tagore described Ramayana as the best illustration of Grihasta-ashrama . And Gandhiji visualized Bhaarat as Rama-rajya.
Sri Rama is the role model of an Ideal Administrator . His abandoning of dearest wife Sita , is the all time greatest event in world administration . * Yada Praja, tadha Raja* ( King is one who fulfills His people's wish) was His guiding principle.
Although Rama abandoned Sita in the forest, He never removed her from his mind. When He was required to perform *Ashwamedha- yaga* together with wife, Rama used a golden Idol of Sita for that purpose. Even His abandoning of Sita was near the ashrmama of Maharishi Valmiki, which She wanted to see .
Rama's re-acceptance of Sita listening to the unanimous request of His subjects, is the glorious moment in Ramayana. By doing so , He was establishing free Democracy in the world .
Sri Rama the greatest King ever in world history, considered even the husband-ship of Sita , as just a position gifted by His subjects ! This selfless attitude and willingness to renounce everything for His subjects make Sri Rama the *Maryada-Purushotha ma* ( Most virtuous Man) in world history !
Let us offer our Dandavat Pranams to Sri Rama and Sita-devi !!!
