Reading Notes: Part B

I can't imagine coming home to see your family and finding out that your father has died and then you have to perform a funeral to burry him before you get to see your brother that has been in exile. This would be quite the welcome home gift. The demons really do not like Rama and have tried to make it as tough as possible on him this whole time. A lot of the battle that Rama is in often brings the ones around him in trouble. Sita is often under stress that her husband is going to die and she will be without one. Maricha comes back to get back at Rama and I guess you can see how things from your past will always find a way to come back to the surface later in life. Whenever the golden deer is in play it brings me to think a little of Adam and eve and how she wanted something and the man ended up taking the fall in this. Sita fear of losing her husband was her demise whenever she thought he was crying out in pain. Sita knew that she was nothing without Rama and would rather die than live a life without him. Even though Sita was locked up by Ravana she was still able to show her love for Rama through the monkeys she left gifts to give to Rama. For how much Sita loves Rama, Rama loves Sita just as much and will not stop until he wins her back. Rama is profited by many people and he is known to be coming to the different towns by the people.
