"May u bring happiness wherever u go"
Blessed by the Lord when woman was born 2 Mother Earth.
She's wild, she's domesticated.
She's forest, she's field.
She's Woman, she's Wife.
She visualises the unclothed Goddess, hair unbounded, fearsome, naked, blood thirsty, 'Kaali' & she also visualises the draped, fertile, gentle, demure & beautiful, 'Gauri'.
Its a woman who turns nature in2 civilisation- Rules such as marital fidelity dat ensures, even d weakest of man has a conjugal security.
2 explain it more widely, I'd put 4ward n instance of a wife who followed her husband in2 exile of 14 years- not b'coz he asker her 2 but it was her duty 2 b by his side & she is 'Sita', the clothed Goddess, also eminent as Gauri.
Later, Sita's abduction by Ravana challenged d Dharma- The civilised code of marital fidelity. Ravana wanted 2 make Ram's field, his forest; He wants 2 make Gauri, Kaali.
When Ravana is killed & Sita rescued, Ram demands proof 2 prove her chastity. She goes thru the trial of fire & d holy fire does not touch her, proving dat neither in thought nor in action she can ever think of any other man. Bt stil the ppl of Ayodhya asked Ram 2 reject the queen of 'Soiled Reputation' as per d laws 7 traditions of d 'Raghu-kula-riti' which demands Ram obeying d commandments of a father & he respecting d wishes of his people & so Sita is sent in2 d forest.
Who is dis Sita in d forest? Gauri or Kaali?
She's gauri 2 her children- raising dem as powerful warriors who on their own r able 2 defeat d mighty army of ram.
But sh's also Kaali- d one who has shaken off d mantle of civilisation.
She'll not b bound by d rules of civilisation. Rejected, she refuses 2 return 2 ayodhya as a Queen or Wife. She does not feel obliged 2 represent d prosperity of d household dat rejected her, or bring good luck in2 it.
When asked 2 prove her chastity once more, she returns 2 the bowels of the Earth whence she came from.
When Ayodhya asked their King 2 abandon his Queen, they inadvertently ended up losing Janaka's daughter who took away all the happiness wid her..........
