history<p>Marichi Maharshi was a staunch Vishnu devotee.&nbsp; He had a doubt.&nbsp; Why Lord Vishnu, though being highest of all, should take an avatar as a human-Ramavatara?&nbsp; Even so, why and how He let Ravana abduct Mother Sita?&nbsp; He wanted to have the answer from Lord Himself directly.&nbsp; Lord granted darshan to the Rishi. The Rishi put forth his questions.&nbsp; He asked, “is it you who incarnated as Rama?&nbsp; How you could afford to let Ravana to abduct Mother Sita?&nbsp; Could this happen without your knowledge?&nbsp; Was it necessary that you had to travel long to Lanka to rescue Her with the help of Sri Anjaneya, can’t you do it individually yourself?”</p><p><br></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Lord explained.&nbsp; “This was an avatar to please everyone who loved me.&nbsp; Lord Shiva is very fond of me who incarnated as Sri Anjaneya.&nbsp; Many joined me in my mission.&nbsp; I enjoyed the company of all who loved me.”&nbsp; Adding, Lord further explained the family dharma that sons should respect and obey father and mother.&nbsp; Brothers should live in unity and how they should respect their sisters-in-law.&nbsp; How the characters of both men and women should be in order.&nbsp; This avatar was to set the rules for an ideal family.”&nbsp; Lord gave darshan to Sage Marichi as Pachai Vanna Perumal.&nbsp; Sage had his doubts cleared.</p>
