There is a way of blessing a couple in Karnataka in older generation. They say "shiva-parvati haagiri". It means you couple should live together like Shiva and parvati. I always had a curiosity why they don't bless couple like "stay together like lakshmi narayana".

I heard answer from someone. I think it's valid. It is not that love is lesser between Lakshmi and Narayan compared to Shiv and parvati. It's because fate has always seperated Lakshmi and Narayan in their incarnations. Even though Shri Raam had loved Sita maata and Shri Krishna loved Raadha, they had to go through so many hardships. In our scriptures, there are descriptions how much Sita Maata and Raadha had to suffer from seperation. Also Sita Maata was cursed to have such pain in relationship.

Compared to them, Shiva parvati don't have such tragic separation.

That's why people don't bless them "Live together like Lakshmi-Narayan". I find this a very valid reason. So, It is not because their love is less. It is because their fate is adverse.

You can provide your thoughts in comments.

It'll never stop being funny to me how Indra's status and power level changes throughout the different texts because initially, you have this absolute badass God-King who defeats a giant monster and gets together with his wife and holds court in heaven. Next the Ramayana rolls up and he is set as a benchmark for battle-skill: Meghnad, as the warrior who defeated him, is an absolute powerhouse who nearly kills both Rama and Lakshmana (and one of those two is a god). In fact, depending on the version, Rama and Lakshmana only survive by semi-divine intervention (Garuda and Hanumana). It is a story about how Lakshmana, an exiled third prince, kills the man who defeated the King of Gods, thereby proving the victory of good over evil et cetera... et cetera... You know the drill.

And then, you have the Mahabharata. Where Krishna, then a young boy, protects an entire settlement from Indra's rage. Which... you know what, fine, he too is a god.

But then, Arjuna defeats Indra, who is his father. Arjuna, who presumably upset the audience a few moments ago after he just burned a whole forest with everyone (including children) in it to supposedly satisfy Agni.

Then, Indra shows up to Karna's doorstep begging for his armour, and Karna who had previously angered the audience by calling Draupadi a harlot gets to demand things from the king of the gods.

See the pattern?

Also they have that absolute disaster of a ceremony and their city is called Indraprashtha.

Like come on, at this point you're just using Indra as the bonus +500 point in games to get your favourites in the audience's good books after they messed up.

Low-key waiting for more people to realise/know/talk about how there was no Sita-Swayamvar in the Orginal Valmiki Ramayan....

Because I think this single thing can give rise to such beautiful fictions and stories and a lot more variety

We all know Ram Sita loved eachother very much. They were eachother's everything and even beyond. One soul two bodies. All of the love.

IMPORTANT: I am taking Valmiki Ramayan as canon and other every single source or scriptures as ahemm... “fanfiction” ... *gasp* how dare I! Yes... But live with it

But canonically they had not met eachother. Not before the breaking of Hara Dhanu. In other versions they meet at the Swayamvar where they both fall in love at first sight and all. Even some version have a pushpa vatika scene where they meet and fall in love...

SO my question, when did they fall in love in the original version???

Ram had not scene Sita, before Janak told them about the entire thing of how he had found Sita, and whom he wanted her to marry.

I would be guessing, it was the time between, after breaking the bow and the ACTUAL marriage. I mean Janak surely needed some time to send letters to Dashrath and for the Ayodhya family to come to Mithila right? (Who am I kidding ofcourse it did)

I am taking some... 1-2 months..?? If that would be enough... Or too much I don't know.

So now we are left with a lot of time to... Hmmm set everything. Honestly. First meeting? Accidentally first meeting?? Eager to meet the other? Anxious?? Maybe shy or nervous? Or scared? Or totally clueless??

How did they fall in love?? Was it love at first sight?? Gradually falling for one another? Or did they fall in love even before meeting eachother??

Was Lakshman supportive? Did he tease Ram? Was he confused himself??

Did Sita fall first? Or was it Ram?? WHO CONFESSED FIRST?? WHO TOLD THEY LOVED THEM?? WHAT HAPPENED THEN??

I want to know so many things. Read so many stories. So much to could be done...

...sigh

Y'all are sleeping on such a good opportunity to write amazing fics my lawrd!!

I would be writing 5 libraries if I was good with arranging words honestly

ALSO: No I am not playing with anyone's emotions or believe or what they love to believe. Because Ik almost all of you prefer the Swayamvar version one... even I do, yes. Because that is the cutest thing ever. Even better with the pushpa vatika scene.

I am just stating what's there in the Valmiki Ramayan. If you don't like my post dni just scroll past it or even block me idc. But dare you come to my comments or reblogs and shit about me or try to pick a fight

i like the brd ce but i have this idea....

[kaal-naagin]

I like the fact that how Lord Vishnu is portrayed like this calm CEO who speaks in a soothing tone and has everything planned and handled but some of His Avatars:

1. VARAHA DEVA:Speared Hiranyaksha with His tusks

2. NARASIMHA DEVA: Ripped apart Hiranyakashipu ,drank his blood and garlanded Himself with his intestines

3. PARASHURAMA DEVA: Killed the entire Kshatriya clan 21 times before retirement

4. KRISHNA: Kanha is well... Kanha

In my humble and unqualified opinion , the closest any Avatara of Lord Vishnu to His Bhujangashayana form is Lord Rama. Calm and serene. I can sit at His feet for hours and look at His face.
