Chithwati Chakit Chahun Disi Sita

Kahan Gayay Nripkisore Manu Chinta

Sita, while still out with her friends in the garden, suddenly looses sight of the two brothers, and starts wondering where they went. Where ever the fawn eyed princess casts her gaze, to look, white lotuses, rained from the sky. Upon being told to look behind the bush, for them, Sita beheld the two princes beauty as if by greed, later showing pleasure after finding some long lost treasure. As she stared, the functions of the eyes was gone, and the eyelids forgot to blink. Taking in the beauty of the moment, Sita 's love for Shri Ram made her body go limp as she just stood staring at the Lord, just like the Chakori bird stares at the autumnal moon. Soaking in his loveliness, Sita finally shut her eyelids, thus capturing the picture in her heart. All this, while her friends waited coyly, not wanting to disturb.

Soon, however, the two brothers emerged from behind a cascade of flowers, seeming as if, a set of clear moons, had come out from behind the clouds. With an aura of perfection, blue bodied with yellow attire, the two gallant princes were beautifully adorned with peacock feathers on their heads and bunches of flowers strewn on their clothes. Tulsi Das describes their facial and sartorial attributes and then says that, their are no words for the amazing beauty of the Lords and his brother's countenance. With beads of perspiration glistening on their brows, luster of earrings as big as pendants, string of pearls on their chest, necks as conch shells in spiral shape, arched eyebrows, curly hair, red limpid lotus eyes, firm chins, long noses, full cheeks, muscular arms looking like a baby elephant's trunk, the look was very enthralling to the soul, an incarnation of Cupid himself.

Beholding the dark coloured prince in yellow clothing, the jewel of the solar race, with a slender waist of a lion's, an embodiment of beauty and grace, Sita's girlfriends were floored!!!

The saga of the Lord Shri Ram and Sita's love and indescribable beauty has continued. I, have wondered, how often Tulsidas has touched this subject and continues to do so. Don't you think he wants us to understand the meaning of true beauty and true love? It is not only the outer beauty that he wants us to focus on, but he wants us to look inward, and find our inner self, that is inundated by His love and beauty. Be still for a few minutes today , look inward, then, you will have Ram Rajya! JAI HO!
