Goddess Mata Sita- the Vedic Archetype of an ideal or perfect woman

5/1/2020

0 Comments

 
Goddess Mata (mother) Sita can be considered as a Vedic Archetype of an ideal or perfect woman. If you are not familiar with the concept of Vedic Archetype, then check out this video.

Now, coming back to Goddess Mata Sita, if one is to observe and study her life, then it is strewn with many challenges, trials and tribulations. But she goes thru all that life brings her way, with complete grace and poise. 

She follows her dharma (intrinsic righteous path) fulfilling the many roles that exist for any woman, such as that of a daughter, wife and mother with complete perfection. 
She also fulfills other special roles that she had to undertake, being part of reigning monarchies, with correct decorum. In this regard, she conducted her role as a princess and a queen, with complete adherence to the rules, norms and expectations of those days. 
​
It is because of her actions, where she follows all her duties and responsibilities with proper upholding of dharmic principles, that she can be considered as the Vedic Archetype of an ideal or perfect woman. 
​It should be noted that Goddess Mata Sita is the consort to Lord Shri Rama, who is the Vedic Archetype of an ideal (perfect) man. 
​One other very important point! When we read Ramayana, which describes the life of Lord Shri Rama and Goddess Mata Sita, there are many aspects which may come across as unfair, discriminatory or even abusive to the modern reader.

But we need to keep in mind that the societal norms for a common person and for someone who is in a position of leadership are very different. In addition, back in those days, what was considered right/wrong ‘or’ appropriate behaviors was very different. 

Also, like all Vedic legends, Ramayana is not just a historic story, but symbolizes deep truths about the very nature of existence. Ramayana provides many helpful tips and guidance on how each one of us can lead a life that is in sync with our own dharma. 

More on that some other time… for now, remember that these Vedic legends are very symbolic in their expression.

​So, what you read as a story, is bound to have many deeper connotations.

    Vedic Culture, which   is the culture of the original Himalayan Masters,    is one of the most advanced ancient civilizations.  It is a tradition which has given mankind several treasures such Yoga, Meditation, Conscious-Living and Vedic Sciences such as Ayurveda, Vedic Physics & Vedic Mathematics.

    It was always a scientific culture that understood the very mechanics and workings of this Universe. Their deities, their gods and goddesses were all a way of expressing and explaining these energies and their inter-working. Modern Quantum Mechanics is just starting to understand string theory, dark matter etc. which have all been fundamental to the Vedic understanding. Because of this, they developed ways and methods which allowed one to best tap into life-energy itself.

    Vedic Culture, as it was practiced by the Himalayan Masters, was always a "way of life" and not a religion.

    Their basic view was that, there is only ONE Supreme God-head (God as our creator) and each one of us can find our path to it- experience union with that divinity (Yoga) in their own way.

    Because of this, anyone with any religious affiliations and beliefs can still benefit from their knowledgeable ways of Vedic Wisdom.

    Our attempt here is to present this ancient wisdom in a modern light, so our readers can interpret the true, essential meaning more easily and then extrapolate it to their own specific scenarios and enhance the quality of their life and being-ness.
