Welcome to the presentation of Sita Shakti Kavya
(SSK).
The Sita Shakti Kavya ie. Sita's Empowerment Anthology largely
represents the"Sanskar" i.e. value system imparted by Sita,
of Indian epic Ramayana, to her twin children Lav and Kush.
The epic of Ramayana, dates back over 7000 years back.
Sita was the dutiful wife of King Rama of the Indian epic Ramayana.
By force of circumstances Rama went into exile in the forest with
Sita. Unfortunately, Sita was kidnapped by demon king Ravana of
Lanka. Rama, with the help of forest dwellers slayed Ravana and
brought Sita home to his kingdom Ayodhya.
Sita then became pregnant from her husband Lord Rama. But some
doubtful citizens kept mouthing foul words about her , as she had
been abducted by Ravana. To pacify them, Lord Rama banished Sita
into the forests once again. Sita took shelter in the hermitage
of fatherly sage Valmiki
SITA SHAKTI KAVYA i.e. Sita’s Empowerment Anthology begins
here.
Sita Shakti Kavya :divided into 25 Chapters, this anthology is
set in 'Rishi' (Sage) Valmiki's 'Ashram' (Hermitage)
.It begins with pregnant Sita reminiscing to her 'Sakhis'
(Lady Friends) about her past. Sita pines for her Lord Rama, who
has cast her away.
However, the birth of Lav and Kush also turns out to be birth of
a new 'Avatar' (Incarnation) of Sita viz that of a Mother.
Sita prays to Rishi Valmiki to give good knowledge of ‘Vedas’
(Divine Hymns), martial arts etc. to her twins, so that they grow
up to be protectors of righteousness.
While the children are undergoing their rigorous schooling, under
Rishi Valmiki, Sita as a mother keeps a watchful eye on their physical,
emotional and spiritual development, because she aspires that they
should prove to be worthy sons of 'Bharat' (India).
The anthology then slowly builds upon Sita's inherent inner spiritual
strengths.
Her children, like any other children, keep questioning their mother
about the life- processes, and myriads of other questions that intrigue
a child.
As a Mother, Sita answers all their questions and imparts strong
'Sanskar' (Value System) to her children. Sita
tells the children that ,
“The purpose of life is to, fulfill 'Dharma'
(Duty) towards Humankind. The essence of life is the Divine link
of 'Atman' (Soul) to 'Paramatman' (God).”
Towards the end of the anthology, the episode of 'Ashwamegha-Yagnya'
(Yagnya of the Sacrificial Horse) of Rama is narrated.
Lord Rama is overcome with affection on seeing the brave children.
He asks them various questions
Lav and Kush answer all the deep spiritual questions forthrightly,
thanks to the knowledge given by their Mother Sita. With great admiration,
Rama then asks them, who their Guru is, and who are their parents,
who have given them such excellent education and training, as also
'Brahma Gnyan' (Supreme Knowledge)
Just then Sita enters dramatically.....

Since childhood Dr. Wagh has grown up in a God fearing and
spiritual environment. In 1994,in an eerie experience, Dr.
Wagh felt some sublime thoughts emerging from deeper
precincts of his inner consciousness. He felt as if these
were emerging as a result of blessings of his spiritual Guru
late Chile Maharaj.This process continued for several years.
In 1998, he received inspiration to compile these into a trilogy:
- Sita Shakti Kavya i.e. Sita's Empowerment Anthology.
- Radha Bhakti Sudha i.e. Radha's Devotional Anthology.
- Maha Laxmi Mukti Sanwad i.e. Maha Laxmi's Dialogues of
Emancipations
