Dear Bhagavatottamas,

It is rather unfortunate that this issue has become an eternal debate. Not only 
in India but world wide. Even, non-hindus who really do not know Ramayan start 
abusing the Lord for this deed. 

 I think it is due to lack of reading of our Poorvacharyas work on this 
subject. Let me start from the fact saying that Perumal & Piratti are 
impeccable & one can find no fault in them.

Among all the incarnations Ramavathar assumes a special significance as Lord & 
his consort take the human form and undergo all the sufferings of normal human 
beings and also their happiness. It is in fact a great drama as Swamy Deshikan 
puts it, enacted by Piratti and Perumal for our benefit. In the painful episode 
of Sita, Lord shows to the world that he can tolerate any apacharam even to him 
but he cannot tolerate Bhagavatha apacharam.  The punsihment for this will be 
severe and even his beloved will not be spared.

Now, what did Sita do. We have to go back to Aranya kaandam. It was after Rama 
left her to fulfill her wish of getting that golden deer. She heard the Voice 
"HA Lakshmana", "HA Sita" and the sound Looked like Rama's, which was actually 
created by Maricha before his death. Following this, Sita instructed Lakshmana 
to go at once & rescue Rama, but Lakshmana who understood the Rakshasa maya was 
unmoved. Then came the abuses from Janaki. She went to the extent of accusing 
Lakshmana of malafide intentions on her, because he is not going to the rescue 
of Rama. That was indeed the greatest Bhagavthapacharam, because imagine the 
agony Lakshmana would have faced at this accusation. It is nothing before the 
inflicted by Rama to Sita. He served the pair without even leading a married 
life himself for 13 years & this is what he finally got!. That was behind Lord 
Rama's anger for Sita when he met her the first time after this episode.Thats 
the reason she was silent and went for prayaschittam,
 because she knows the reason for what she is being punished.  In fact, as a 
husband Lord also holds a share in her apacharam and pays for it also by facing 
the agony of separation. The agony is for the couple and not for only one of 
them.

Indeed, Bhagavathapacharam is the greatest sin one can ever perform & there is 
no pardon from Lord for it. This sin of Sita, u can see has not spared her till 
the end. Even after reunion she had to be again separated because of this one 
sin. Realise, that all this is drama for people to understand that 
Bhagvathapacharam is unpardonable. Only Saranagthi is a solution for this and 
no 'parihaaram' exists.

There are very lucid explanations by our poorvacharyas for the great drama & I 
suggest a good reading of them. All the doubts which generally exist will 
vanish.
