dear shri vasu, please accept my apologies if the title has hurt your sensitivities. and if you feel that my postings are incomprehensible, i shall try to make them less so. having said that, i would like to point out that the title was not my own, but a virtual translation of Valmiki Ramayana sloka, spoken in the words of Sita Piratti-"mama Eva dushkritam kinchit, mahat asti na samsaya:". Sri Mythily Herself says these are sins. i would request you to read the second part of the posting with the same title, which deals with justification for Sri Sita's conduct. i do share your reverence for Sri Janaki, perhaps in a lesser measure, as would a perusal of my posting entitled "Chirai irundavaL Ettram" which is available in the archives of Srirangasri, would prove. with regrets for having caused you offence, sadagopan ----- Original Message ----- From: Vasu Ranganathan To: sadagopaniyengar ; SriRangaSri ; malolan_net@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ; tiruvengadam ; Oppiliappan ; radha jagannathan ; j.srinivasan ; cs.srinivasan ; sukanya Murali ; mythily ramadesikan Cc: sadagopaniyengar Sent: Tuesday, June 03, 2003 8:08 AM Subject: Re: [SriRangaSri] Sita's Sins, Big and Small Shrimate ranga ramanuja maha deshikaya namaha I joined up for the srirangasri groups at first hoping for discussions on pure bhakthi. I just want to say that a couple of e-mails really disturbed me. First was the whole string of mails back and forth on "Shuklambaram Vishnum". And now this mail on "Sita's sins, big and small." I do not have the deep wisdom that I have had the opportunity to observe reading these articles. I must admit that I do not understand many of them that are of a high intellectual nature. But I think that the whole nature of Sharanagati to the Lord is based on utter and unshakeable devotion. Therefore I am, I admit, offended by the heading..."Sita's Sins, big and small." I do feel that all this is a part of the Lord's great celestial play. "Sita's sins"...to presume this is in itself a sin. sadagopaniyengar <sadagopaniyengar@xxxx> wrote: Srimate SrivanSatakopa Sri Vedanta Desika Yatindra Mahadesikaya nama: Sita's Sins, Big and Small We endeavour our best to tread the path of virtue and righteousness. We consciously shun all wrong-doing and strive hard to tread the narrow and straight path of Dharma. We prompt ourselves to perform meritorious deeds at every available opportunity. In short, we make every effort to espouse good conduct and eschew all others. However, the faculties we are endowed with often pull us in directions in which we may not be willing to travel.
