The Reunion

Lord Rama wanted Hanuman to meet Sita, then
And inform her that Lanka was no more Ravana's den
Hanuman went into Lanka and met with Mother
Informed her, about Ravan, she needn't anymore bother

"Mother, the battle is over and Rama has won
Vibhishana is king and Ravana is done
Lord Rama wants to meet you soon
In His heart, you are the moon"

Mother Sita was happy and wanted to meet Ram
Said that wish to Hanuman and she remained calm
Vibhishan arranged a palanquin for Mother Sita to go
The King of Lanka was no more Mother Sita's foe

But before that Hanuman had a request
He wanted to beat the rakshashis at Sita's behest
"Mother, the female guards of Ravana have tortured you
I like to beat them up for torturing you"

"Hanuman those ladies did not torture me on their own
Ravana who was behind that is now begone
These ladies, by torturing me, just did their job
For doing their duty, they must not sob

I forgive them whole heartedly though they did not ask
I request you not to beat them, please quit that task"
Mother Sita then got on to the palanquin and to Rama she went
On questioning her for all the trouble, Lord Rama was bent

"You accused my brother of coveting you
A brother like my brother, in this world, are very few
Had you not sent Lakshman away from the Ashram that day
Ravan could not have abducted you, and gone his way

I renounce you as my wife
You are no more part of my life
You have stayed in another man's house
You can no longer be my spouse"

Mother Sita was devastated hearing Rama speak
But she knew her actions on her part were weak
"For talking wrong of Lakshman, I'm very sorry
I realise in my actions, I must have been wary

But nothing has gone wrong, for me being your wife
To earn that position, I will take up endless strife
Kindly ask Lakshman to set up a pyre
To prove to you my loyalty, I will enter fire"

Lakshman set up a pyre at Lord Rama's behest
Though setting up the pyre, He did detest
Mother Sita on the pyre, she did sit
On the wooden pyre, fire they lit

The fire burned bright
Mother Sita showed no fright
Mother Sita sat chanting Rama's name
Her five senses, were in her control, tame

The god of Fire, Agni came there then
Along with him, came numerous Deva Men
Brahma Shiva and Indra also came there
For the welfare of Sita, they did care

Agni told Shri Rama that Sita was pure
And then he insisted, that Rama's doubts must cure
After Agni spoke, Lord Brahma did speak
To Rama with a tone quite humble and meek

"Oh Lord! Shri Rama! You are the lord of the world
Only as per your will, the earth around the sun does whirl
You create maintain and destroy, all the things that exist
All the three worlds, in you, you do with your will, subsist"

Lord Rama was surprised on Brahma addressing him so
More about Himself, the truth, Lord Rama wanted to know
"As far as I know, I am King Dasaratha's son
For Brahma to address me so, what merit have I done?"

"Lord! Shri Rama! You are the supreme being
You are Vishnu The Great, trust me, what I am saying
For the benefit of the world, you were born as a man
What you are capable of, only you can

For the sun that burns bright, you are the source
For the earth to spin, you give it the force
All the worlds from you were expelled once
For the world's welfare, you are one of Dasaratha's sons

We Devas requested you, that Ravana must be killed
And therefore to be born as a Human, you yourself willed"
Saying so the fire God, handed over Sita to Rama
Requesting Rama to give a happy ending to the drama

Lord Rama and Mother Sita hugged each other
They knew beyond doubts, they loved each other
Thus Mother Sita was united with Ram
Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!

Indra asked Lord Rama if he wanted any boon
Lord Rama asked the dead monkeys, must come to life soon
Indra was startled but anyway he smiled
Indra brought the dead monkeys, back to their wild

King Dasaratha also came and blessed Shri Ram
Now Lord Shiva started to speak, who was till now calm
"Rama go back to Ayodhya and start your rule
Your real identity you'll remember, cool"

Thus Shri Rama, by the devas was guided
Lord Shiva's instruction, Lord Rama abided
Thus the Godly men took leave of Ram
Jai Shri Ram! Jai Jai Shri Ram!!
