Goddess Sita though being Goddess
lived life of a normal woman & acted like a normal woman. Just like other
women she got emotional & wasn’t able to think analytically or use logic at
times. Some mistakes she did were
1. She once told Lord Ram that “O
Rama! You will go to Ayodhya & will marry several ladies since you are the
king. But I will die here in your memory” Thus she committed something wrong by
devaluing Lord Ram’s love for her & also doubted Lord Ram’s faith as Lord
Ram had sworn to never take any other
woman as His wife. Lord Ram was always most faithful to Goddess Sita. Yet Goddess
Sita raised doubts on Lord Ram’s love.
2. In an incident demon Mareecha
cried for help imitating Rama’s voice. Goddess Sita thought that Lord Ram was
in danger and asked Lakshaman to go & help. Lakshman was aware that it was
a trick of Mareecha & refused to go. He insisted on staying by Goddess Sita,
as he ordered by Rama to protect Goddess Sita.
Goddess Sita wasn’t able to think
analytically & got emotional & her emotions overpowered her analytical
mind & thus she scolded Lakshman as a characterless person, who was
attracted to her. Thus she abused Lakshman who was a very pure person &
considered his brother Lord Ram as GOD.
Thus Goddess Sita had to suffer
being in captive of Ravana & this washed her wrong sayings & she was
able to reach Vaikuntha without having to go to hell to clean her sins. Goddess
Sita was incarnation of Maha Lakshmi & so it wouldn’t have looked proper had
she gone to hell for punishment that she deserved for her statements.
If she is God, is there a question of heaven and hell?
