| | Sita |
| | Sita is one of the most popular Goddesses in Hinduism today, but She is very rarely approached from a Shakta viewpoint. | | | "Sita literally means 'furrow,' as in a ploughed field, or the parting of the hair on the head; it also implies the female vaginal furrow as the source of life." Vedic writings "show that She was worshiped as a goddess, the furrow personified." | | | Despite Sita's submissive, secondary status in the Ramayana, it is extremely important to note that She is one of the most beloved deities among Hindu women -- perhaps because She most closely reflects the everyday reality of their lives. |
