In today's time, we think of Sita as the version of Lakshmi that is associated with self sacrifice and the good wife who accepts her fate.

But the Goddess Sita was an ancient Vedic Goddess, who is mentioned in the Rigvedas (1500-1200 BC) as an earth goddess who blesses the land with good crops and was associated with fertility.

We're taught that when you have to face a painful separation or situation; loneliness or grief, ask Sita for help. When you feel the pain of the earth itself, feel Sita's tears and recognize that grief can be a healing and deeply mystical pathway. Enjoy a small meditation to invoke the compassion of Sita.
