Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - She was born from the Earth. She walked through fire. She was abandoned by a king and raised twin warriors in a forest. And in the end, she returned to where she began.Sita is the most beloved woman in Hindu civilisation - and the most misunderstood.Millions worship her. Poets across a dozen…languages have sung her story for three thousand years. Yet most readers know only fragments: the golden deer, the abduction, the fire test, the exile. The full Sita - as theologian, queen, mother, earth goddess, and embodiment of Shakti - remains scattered across Sanskrit epics, regional Ramayanas, Puranas, and living devotional traditions.This book gathers that full story for the first time in a single comprehensive volume.Drawing on Valmiki's Ramayana, the Adhyatma Ramayana, Devi Bhagavata Purana, Brahma Vaivarta Purana, the Tamil Kamba Ramayana, Jain and Buddhist parallel traditions, and the living folk traditions of North India, Kerala, Nepal, and Sri Lanka, SITA: Daughter of the Earth, Bride of Heaven presents the most thorough portrait of Rama's queen available to the modern reader.Inside this book you will discover: - The ancient etymology of her name - Sita, the sacred furrow - and her identity as daughter of Bhumi Devi, the Earth Goddess- How the Puranas expand her beyond the epic - as Lakshmi incarnate, as Prakriti, as Adi Shakti herself- A rare Vedic Jyotish analysis of her cosmic archetype - the lunar feminine principle in the nakshatra tradition- The world of Mithila and the philosopher-king Janaka - the extraordinary environment that shaped her inner sovereignty- All major versions of the Agni Pariksha - including the Chhaya Sita doctrine of the Adhyatma Ramayana - examined without polemic- The Lanka captivity in full depth: what Sita actually said to Ravana, her conversations with Trijata, and her spiritual state across months of imprisonment- The Second Exile - the most debated moral question in the Ramayana - examined across commentaries and traditions- Sita as a single mother in the forest: how she raised Lava and Kusha and transmitted the Ramayana itself to her sons- Her presence in Tamil, Jain, Buddhist, and regional folk traditions - how different cultures have loved and reinterpreted her- The theology of the Divine Consort in Sri Vaishnavism and the Shakta reading of Sita as the supreme feminine power- A guide to living Sita traditions: temples, festivals, and folk songs still alive todayThis is not a retelling. It is a reckoning.For devotees, scholars, spiritual seekers, students of comparative mythology, and every reader who has ever wondered what the Ramayana looks like when seen through Sita's eyes - this book is the essential companion.SITA: Daughter of the Earth, Bride of Heaven stands as the definitive reference on the most enduring feminine figure in Hindu civilisation.
