I had never admired Lord Rama the way I admired and prayed to Shri Krishna. I would feel He never did justice to the love of Maa Sita. Just going by what a mere dhobi had to say about Maa Sita, Rama sent her to the forest near Sage Valmiki's ashram. Despite knowing deep within that she was pure and so was her love for him, Maa Sita was treated unfairly. My heart went out to Maa Sita and could never feel what it is to be a Rama.
Of late, I started reading the original Ramayana, bringing in the realisation that there was purity in the thoughts of Lord Rama. There is so much there for us to learn through every incident that happened with Him and the way He responded to it.
