Sita Maha Tripurasundari: Sita from a Shakta Perspective | Vinay Varanasi |

"Subtitles Powered by dubverse.ai/"
About The Talk
This talk is about the beautiful avatar of Lakshmi in the form of Janaki, Maa Sita. This avatar of Lakshmi is something different from other avatars. In this Avatar of Sita if you take away Sita there is no story left in Ramayana. There is absolutely nothing left. That is why we choose to call it Sita as Tripuramahasundari. Her character is hidden through Valmiki’s work. This talk is an attempt to just scratch the surface, just look at some episodes that are connected to Sita. And look at how this can be interpreted and understood from a Shakta perspective.

Bow to ur parents for having brought up with such beautiful kalas.

[@sarbansengupta6894]

As a Shakta I can say I am Simply amazed. No words to describe!

[@snskumar6966]

Find words sir, do research hit if possible. We need people who find words...so that culture spreads

[@harijandas7085]

Highly appreciate the detailed analysis of each event which powerfully impacts all of us. Would highly recommend to get it translated in toto for Hindi speaking masses in Northern India specially when Aodhya Shri Ram Temple is going to regenerate Bhakti of its own kind. Om Namo Shivay

[@debosmitagupta166]

He is a true vaishnava... Not some fake iskcon item

[@sudhakarkaushik6128]

He's a true shaktha or true advaitha

[@music-amysticitself232]

Bharat mata shall ignore any kind of tortures only because of this kind of absolute positive vibes

[@vathsalakaasiraju6936]

First time I'm listening to him,I'm amazed by his speech

[@kumarsubramanian3797]

Same here. Infact my mind (ego) blasted into pieces loosing it's false identity and getting one with its source which is in the union of Ram-Sita, Sakthi-Siva. Listened to his speech twice on same day. So impactful it is.

[@srimpooja419]

Words fail me. He has absolute kadaksham of Ma Saraswathi. It's just flowing like a stream and I'm extremely grateful for all these insights coming my way !! Koti Pranams to Vinayji.

[@shashwatkejriwal8100]

I'm a Shri-vaishnava, loved this, beyond words, very beautiful, this is also said in vaishnavas, only wishing for shreeji without narayan (purusha) is wrong, or only wishing narayan without shreeji(Shakti) is wrong, therefore we have a yugal upasna be it Lakshmi Narayan, Sita Ram, Radha Krishna, Rukmini Krishna ❤🌸

[@arijitkar9434]

The haters of other Hindu Gods, by the way Ramanuja's beleive is totally illogical. He believes that the god has only one form Vishnu, Shiva, Parvati,Brahma, Ganesha all are jivas . Also he hates Sankara's phylosophy Sri Vaishnav, Illogical phylosophy , 😂😂😂 According to vaishnav, Lakshmi is dependent on Vishnu and created from Vishnu but Vishnu is independent. But according to Shaktas, Lakshmi is not dependent on Vishnu, she is part of adishakti, no one creates her.

[@arijitkar9434]

Just because he talks about Ram Sita , so, you like it. Otherwise you people are against Shaktas. You people think that only your phylosophy is correct. Even you people don't believe in Shiv Vishnu equality, which is the core of Hinduism. By the way Sreeji/Lakshmi Devi is the god of wealth and Parvati Devi is the god of Strength, even Madhava sampradaya like ISKCON believe in this. By the way, there are many ancient vaishnav temple where only Narayan is worshipped, then go and first placed Lakshmi murti there, then talk like this.

[@frozenstar7140]

Sita , Radha , Lakshmi are not the prominent deities of shakta tradition , Sita and Radha are worshipped as Shakti of Ram and Krishna specially and Lakshmi is worshipped as Kamala in the shakta tradition. as the 10th mahavidya. And only in Sri Vidya there is a ritual where shiv shakti ( purush prakriti) worship is mandatory, there is no other tradition of worshipping shiv shakti (purush prakriti ) in other mahavidyas upasana or even in durga upasana.

[@aeroanil]

​@@arijitkar9434Shivas hate vishnu a lot. Kulotunga chola tried to kill Ramanujacharya. Many vaishnavas were killed by shaiva kings. They so wrongly claimed many of the vishnu temples like tirupati,destroyed statues of lord vishhnu in chidambaram. Ramanujacharya bhashyam of bramha sutras and his vishastadvait was approved by goddess saraswati herself and she presented an idol of lord hayagriva which is still in mysore parakala mutt. So indirectly you are saying that goddess saraswati is illogical. Grow up and stop abusing other's point of view.

[@behappy9886]

​@@frozenstar7140 kamla mahavidya is a form of parvati not laxmi. Don't get confused because of the iconography.

[@jk99919]

Namaskaaram Mr. Vinay Varanasi. I Live in Hyderabad and I am impressed with 3 things primarily. 1) The content you delivered... I am a Vishnu devotee and believe in Advaitha sidhdhaantham of Jagadguru Adi Shankaracharya garu though I am the disciple of Sri Chinna Jeeyar Swami ... The world needs ADVAITHAM right now. 2) The language... flawless and fluent English ... so that the whole world can listen to and understand your words .. 3) Your age... you are too young yet have tremendous knowledge like Adi Sankara and analytical skills like an Engineering student.. I had a reminder for this session and last night I could sleep with happiness after watching the live session. Be blessed !! kindly let me know, if i can attend the live session of yours instead of watching it at home.

[@shankarnair9009]

Probably Mother Seetha intended this interpretation of her trials and tribulations, her victory and her oneness with her Lord. The Ramayanam is the story of Rama and his story is driven by Maa Tripura Sundari, Mother Seetha herself. How beautiful? The heart tingles with joy when we hear Vinay speak. Mother Seetha uses him as a flute to hear her glory. I hope as he becomes better at his craft, he stays more and more grounded. He's a treasure and hope he remains so for the rest of his benevolent life. Every time we hear him speak, the heart tingles with joy. So funny he relates the story from Saundarya Lahari to describe "Sudha Sindhor Madhye." I recently started chanting this verse every night for the past few days every night, and i thought it was interesting he talks about this very same verse. So personally too, this talk struck a chord with me. Beautiful! 🙏🙏🙏

[@yateentalekar9967]

Beautiful Insight into Ma Sita's depiction.

[@PrakashKamanat]

Namaste Vinay ji. Your excellent discourse on Mother Sita as Tripurasundari helps us to understand the real reason for Swami Vivekananda’s statement on Sita Mata… Thanks a lot. 🙏🙏🙏 Here is that wonderful statement👇🏽 "You may exhaust the literature of the world that is past, and I may assure you that you will have to exhaust the literature of the world of the future, before finding another Sitā. Sitā is unique; that character was depicted once and for all. There may have been several Rāmas, perhaps, but never more than one Sitā! She is the very type of the true Indian woman, for all the Indian ideals of a perfected woman have grown out of that one life of Sitā... Any attempt to modernise our women, if it tries to take our women away from that ideal of Sitā, is immediately a failure, as we see every day. The women of India must grow and develop in the footprints of Sitā, and that is the only way." Swami Vivekananda [Ref : The Complete Works of Swami Vivekananda, Volume 3, Lectures from Colombo to Almora, 'The Sages of India']

[@shankarnair9009]

Thank you, sir, for sharing these words from the great Swami! I love the Swami as my very dear friend. Beautiful!

Phenomenal explanation never heard of!

[@ashishgupta4279]

This interpretation is really amazing

[@janakiyeluripati6368]

Excellent talk, had tears in eyes about Tadepalli sastry garu incident. Also, would like to add a small reference from valmiki ramayana. After Sita Agnipravesam, Agni emerges and says Rama, please take Sitamma. I'm panchabhoutika agni whereas she is 'Chitagni'. I cant bear her Tejas anymore. This 'CHITAGNI' is the key. In Lalita Sahasranamam, the second line itself says 'Chitagnikundasambhootha'. Also, Ramaa Ramanalampata. Raamaa is Sitamma. Ramanalampata is what you said Lalitha Maha Tripura Sundari meditating on Siva.

[@sowmyasowmyaroopa4483]

Thank you for such in depth analysis, comparision and explanation. Really , I feel blessed to hear this.

Amazing!May Sri Parameshwara- Parameshwari abundantly bless you.

[@AppaiahMM]

Grateful

[@reincarnation1949]

I love, adore, revere and worship Maha Tripura Sundari. Her very name gives me goosebumps. I am relieved by this podcast in that here Vinay ji is saying that Shiva and Shakti are integral in one another. Though it is also said that Shakti is the Supreme reality without her Shiva is only a shav. I am just unable to reconcile to that view. To me they were always ONE and not separate. Like the Sun and its glow. Shakti is the smile of Shiva. How can they be separate?

[@VijeythaBiradar]

I recently discovered the Lalita Sahasranamam. Could not have imagined this kind of beautiful correlation of The Mahatripura Sundari with Sundarkanda with Sita.So beautiful ❤

[@rightcast-bhakti6201]

do not read it without the grace of a guru, without any initiation or Deeksha, at first it will give you so much pleasure, so much ecstasy reading it, you will feel butterflies in your stomach but very suddenly it will throw you down a 1000 feet and you will have no idea no idea of how to come out, unless guided by a guru.
