Janaka and Sita
March - 30 - 2012 (Friday)
There was a kingdom called Mithila. The
king of Mithila was Janaka. He was a very wise king and taught several sages.
Unfortunately he did not have any children .One day when he was ploughing the
land, the plough hit a box. Inside the box was a very pretty girl baby. He
brought her home and called her Sita. Janaka also had prayed Bhagavan (Bhagavan
(Lord)) Shiva and got a great bow. This bow was very heavy and needed fifty
strong people to lift it. This was a kept in a corner in the palace of Janaka.
One day while Sita was playing with a ball, it went below the box in which this
bow was kept. Sita lifted the box with one hand to get her ball .Janaka was
seeing this and decided to give her in marriage to anyone who can lift the bow
and use the bow. When Sita grew up Janaka arranged for a contest to find out
who could lift the bow and use it. Though many kings including King Ravana came,
they were not able to lift it. At this time Sri Rama was brought to Mithila by
sage Viswamithra. Sri Rama lifted the bow easily, bent it and broke it. Janaka
gave Sita in marriage to Sri Rama. ----------
