Catalpha Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I have a doubt about ancient Hindu scriptures. I think we should look at Ramayana as a novel, rather than a sacred book. So, based on this novel, I am trying to understand why people call Seeta as a Goddess. From what I understand, Seeta is an incredibly beautiful woman, who was loyal to her husband even in the face of adversity. Is that all it takes to be a Goddess, to sit around and look pretty, and be loyal to your husband? What did Seeta do that other princess haven't done? Is it because she had to separate from her husband for 13 or so years? Or is it because she left to the forest with her husband? Why is she a Goddess? I am trying to understand the character arc of Seeta, so don't bring any butthurt comments about religion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
