Anupam Haldar: Rama was a symbol of divine justice. Sita was Rama's consort in the mortal world. But Rama was not a mortal being. He was the incarnation of infinite spiritual force. His treatment of Sita, by the ordeal of fire was not an act of tyranny. It was Rama's spiritual oblation. All his actions were means of deliverance of sole from the bondage of mundane attachment. It is a very abstruse philosophical theory, not easy to understand unless you are thoroughly versed in the Hindu religious scriptures like Vedas and

Anupam Haldar: Vedantas. Those not initiated in the profound religious principle of the Hindu order it is as enigmatic as the origin of life. By meditation you can scratch the surface, but to delve into the inner niche of spiritual understanding, you will need reincarnation. Hindu religion is not a show business, it is a profound philosophic principle. It is sole's eternal quest for the origin of life.

A question to Hindus and readers of the Ramayana: How do you reconcile Rama's actions, specifically his treatment of Sita, unchivalrous killing of Vali and mutilation of Surpankha with the popular depiction of him as the ideal man? I've been meditating of the Ramayana for the past two weeks or so. It seems to me that right after he is proclaimed to be the ideal man by Narada (at least in Valmiki's Ramayana), the rest of the epic actually goes on to say why he was not. Any thoughts on this?
