sandalwood, Sitaaji returned absolutely sanctified from the fire Yes, she was now<br />

adorned with beautiful form like that of heated gold. With great joy, the Lord welcomed<br />

seated her on his left. 1<br />

The deities showered flowers on them from the sky. Mendicants, celestial musicians,<br />

celestial singers all by their priases of glory to the young monarchy filled the sky.<br />

Indra came and by the command of the Lord gave lifeto the monkey soldiers who had<br />

been killed in the battle. Vibhishan requested the Lord to step but once into Lankaa, but<br />

as per his father‘s vow Sri Raghunaathji was not able to enter any city or any residential<br />

areas. So the Lord said: ―Vibhishanji! My stay of residence in the forest has a few days<br />

left to expire. And by that time if I cannot get back to Ayodhyaa in time, then I may not<br />

see my lovely brother Bharat alive. So please do not insist on this. And taking on the<br />

command of the Lord, Vibhishanji prepared the Pushpak plane. With jewels, pearls and<br />

flowers the Puspak plane was decorated. And he presented at the lord‘s feet invaluable<br />

jewels, pearls, diamonds and other items.<br />

But what would the Lord do with such presents? So he commanded all the things to be<br />

loaded on the Pushpak plane and showered down in flight, so that the monkeys and the<br />

bears and so forth can take them and enjoy. So as per the Lord‘s command they were<br />

showered from the sky. Taking whatever they desired the monkeys began to dance.<br />

It was the Lord‘s wish that all the monkeys go to their residences. But they were very<br />

eager to see the crowning ceremony of Sri Raghunaathji. So all together with the<br />

monkeys and Vibhishanji took their seats in the Pushpak plane. The Pushpak plane was<br />

not like the modern planes. It was able to take on board all the passengers.The victorious<br />

departure of the Lord took place. Proceeding forward, the monkeys shouted glory to the<br />

Lord: ―Siyaaver Raamchandraki Jay!‖<br />

Mother’s gift<br />

The knowledge that is obtained by teaching of hundred gurus and a thousand teachers,<br />

that knowledge thousand fold is conveyed by the Mother seating the child in her lap. By<br />

the words filled with love from the Mother, the child enjoys to obtain knowledge.<br />

Humans gain the knowledge of Dharma, impressions and practical application from the<br />

Mother.<br />

Bhagwaan Raam, Bhagwati Sitaaji, Laxmanji, Vibhishan, Sugriv, Hanumaanji,<br />

Jaambvaan and Angad and the monkey army all aboard the Pushpak plane proceeded by<br />

the sky route.Traversing across the ocean, it proceeded over the locations which Sri<br />

Raam pointed out to Sitaaji where he had searched for her. Showing her many of the<br />

forests, mountains, monasteries, the plane passed over Kishkindhaa, Rushyamukh,<br />

Pampaa reservoir and others amongst the.<br />

Sri Raamji looked at Hanumaanji and observed he intended to say something. The Lord<br />

asked: ―Mahaavir! Do you intend to say something?‖<br />

1 The worldly people doubt the the playact of great souls. In reality, Raavan never abducted the true form of<br />

Sitaaji. Readers of Vaalmik Raamaayan will know that Sitaaji‘s shadow was abducted by Raavan. Her true<br />

form she had given up to Fire. Apart from Sri Raam and Sitaaji, no one else knew the reason for entering<br />

into fire. Having entered the fire, Sitaaji made her shadow disappear. And the Fire divinity himself returned<br />

Sitaaji. - Editor<br />
