SEETHA,RAAMA,AND LAKSHMANA REACH ATHRI AASRAMAMSeetha,raamalaskhmana

Seetha,raama and Lakshmana started and went ti Athri mahaamunis aasramam.THEY Bowed to him with respect.Athri mahaamuni and his Anasooya recievd them as if  Rama was his own child.They took care of them very well.Athri then told Seetha to BOW TO Anasuya.He started telling Anasuyas greatnes to Seetha.In olden days there were no rains for ten years continuously and there was drought.Then she touched fruits and gave to sages. For some auspicious ocassion she converted ten nights into one night.She was like a mother to Seetha. .She made river Ganges to flow.She did severe penance for ten thousand years.She won over anger.She was so great that even sarva bhoothas pay homage to her.She did so many great works and so she got the name ANASOOYA.
Raama also directed Seetha to pay heed to Athris words and do as he said.Seethadevi also happily 
complied.


Anasooya was happy with Seetha.She was lucky because she was able to go in the right path.It is great for a woman to leave all the worldly pleasures and follow her husband to the woods.Whether the husband be a civilian,sinner,or good man,Bad man,whatever it might be,if a woman serves her husband with love and affection,she would go to heaven.Bad women dont realise this and do wrong acts as a result of which they go to hell.Be as you are now and you would reap fame and fruits of righteousness.


Seetha attuned to Anasooyas words and said from such a great soul such talk is relevant.She too knew that for a woman husband is her god.Even if her husband was bad ,she was supposed to respect him,.Then why not a great person like Rama would she not serve/Rama was amine of good traits.He is kindhearted towards all the life.His love and affection towards every one is consistent.He is jithendriyudu ie he has control over his senses.He is a righteous man.He loves like parents.


When she was leaving for the woods,even kousalya told her about pathivrathyam. She did not forget those sayings also.Here Anasooya is talking like mother inlaw to Seetha.Athri treatd Rama like a son and said Anasooya was like his mother.So it is likely that Kousalya is as great as Anasooya.Seetha was reviving what her mother told at the time of her marriage.Saavithri did serve her husband and reached heaven.Anasooya would also go to heaven as she too was sreving her husband similarly.


Anasooya was very happy hearing Seethas words.She told her she would bestow her thapodhanam to Seetha.But Seetha sweetly refused saying her blessings were enough for her.Anasooyas love towards Seetha increased double fold hearing these words.


Anasooya gave Seetha many gifts like special pushamaalikalu,clothes,ornaments,perfumes,body sprays.She said if she wore all those ,she would makeher husband as happy as Lakshmi makes Vishnu happy with her beautification.Seethadevi accepted them.
