Sita Devi sings to Lord Ram in a posthumous eternity of silent proximity: A poem 

(You called me yesterday O Sita (my eternal love, Jashmina)! And I sing your song, today!) 

I know how you picked flowers for me, my Lord Ram 

on the mountain slopes of Baghram, in a land older 

than Bactria, rich in honey and dew, when it was not as 

cold or despairing as it is now. Then, I was taken against 

my wish across the Indus, fettered in a Vimana, the stroke  

of disguise by a charlatan-shapeshifter, but so powerful  

even the gods deemed him invincible. Was he a monster  

from the seas, with several heads, an impersonator and a  

Wish master. Sometimes, you must fight your own battles… 

sometimes there are God-sents. I spoke to you telepathically from the  

realms of an advanced pre-Harappan civilisation beyond the Indus, 

locked as I was in a seven-walled fortress. Yes, you heeded my  

silent air-rent cues. Intrepidity is the religion of those with souls. 

I had the spirit of inviolate chastity for you and you had the spirit 

of timeless chivalry for me! How Lanka burned, then. And sometimes,  

the indomitable (Ravana) fall. It is not always that the perseverance of 

integrity that is defeated. But many a time loyalty to love is. Tragically, 

put out by the intensity of loyalty to duty! Each of us walked through our fires  

in our own respective ways! How so unfortunately after I was yours again, 

you rejected me – the Prajapati that you were?! So much embattled effort 

gone to waste by paradoxes. Duty often proves stronger than love,  

as you often proved in your timeless reincarnations! I swore  

to the Earth to take me, and she did! But how the mountains of Kailas knew, 

where you took recluse in your remorse, that you would always revisit 

my space through destiny and eternity yet again and again!  

This is the insurmountability of the love in your soul, that 

the sacrifices of love that you made only facilitated profound love’s immortality!

I think it is a spiritual experience, my doctors think otherwise. I am a deeply spiritual person and keep having experiences with otherworldly realms.
