QUESTION AND ANSWERS BY PROF ANIL KUMAR & SAWMI’S REPLY NO.11

 

SWAMI! We heard about King Dasaratha, the yaga called “putrakameshti”, and so

on. Kindly tell us something about King Janaka.

 

BHAGAVAN: Janaka WAS A Rajayogi, a man of great wisdom, utterly devoid of the

sense of body. Therefore, he came to be known as videha, one without attachment

to the body.

 

As a daughter of the King, Sita came to be known as vaidehi. Janaka was an

ideal King possessing immense devotion to the preceptor, extensive knowledge of

the Sastras, and the sprit of renunciation.

 

He performed Sita’s marriage as his bounded duty. Later on, Rama left for the

forest along with Sita and Lakshmana. Though their stay in the forest stretched

into years, Janaka never set foot in the forest. Such was Jankas’s abounding

wealth of jnana and vairagya.
