Synopsis

Sita, the beloved princess of Mithila, is one of the most revered women in Indian history; so well known, yet probably the least understood. At every crossroad of her life, she chose acceptance and grace over self-pity. Her life was filled with sacrifice yet wherever she was, there was abundance. It was as if she was carved out of an intense longing for Rama, yet she had infinite patience. In every situation she reflected his light and he reflected her love. In her, we find someone who is so divine yet so human. In this poignant narration, Bhanumathi shows us the world through the eyes of Sita. We think what Sita thinks, we feel what she feels, and for these few special moments, we become a part of her. And perhaps, through this perspective, and Sita's immortal story, we will discover the true strength of a woman.

Goosebumpy, ethereal, anecdotal, super knowledgable and meditative - all rolled into one! We all know the eternal, classic "Ram - Sita" story, but this book blows the lid on the spiritual fairy tale and dives deep, deep, deep into the Devi (Goddess) that Sita was. Written by a highly accomplished medi......more

The vibration of the sacred sound of her beloved's name, 'Ram', filled her mind as it emanated from the tiny Vanara. 'His being is filled with Rama,' she pondered, 'but does he know me?'

From the moment Sita had met Rama, she constantly felt the vastness of his presence. And those who met her felt his energy and presence strongly through her. We have all read varied versions of Ramayana and yet reading Sita : A tale of ancient love felt like reading about it the first time all over......more
