Shocking fact: Lord Rama had many wives apart from Sita
1. The story of Tulsidas Ramayan is a very short one. Besides it is simple and in itself there is nothing sensational about it. According to it, Rama is the son of Dasharatha, the king of Ayodhya, the modern Banares. In due course Rama was married to Sita. He was then sent on an exile for 14 years. During his exile, Sita who had accompanied Rama was kidnapped by Lanka’s King Raavan. Then Rama with the help of Hanuman defeated Raavan and returned to Ayodhya with Sita and brother Lakshman.
2. However, as per Valmiki Ramayan, written around 2000 years before Tulsidas Ramayan, things were quite different. Rama who is belived to have one wife, Sita as per Tulsidas Ramayan, actually had many wives as mentioned in Valmiki Ramayan.
3. Not just that, the Valmiki Ramayan also reveals many secrets of Rama’s personal life. Rama was an ordinary man who became the King eventually in Valmiki Ramayan, but was potrayed as a God in Tulsidas’s Ramayan.
4. Mr. C.R Sreenivas Iyengar, translation of valmiki Ramayan says; Though Rama had married Sita to be Queen, he married many other wives for sexual pleasure in accordance with royal customs (Ayodha Kandam 8th chapter page 28) [The term 'Rama’s wives'’ has been used in many places in Ramayana.]
5. If Valmiki’s Ramayan is to be believed, Rama’s marriage is not an ideal marriage. Valmiki refers to the many wives of Rama. These were of course in addition to his many concubines. In this he was the true son of his nominal father Dasharatha who had not only many wives, but many others.
6. Valmiki also gives a detailed description of how Rama spent his life after he returned from exile. He had a house in a park called Ashoka Vana. There Rama used to tale his meals. The food, according to Valmiki, consisted of all kinds of delicious food items. They included flesh and fruits and liquor.
7. Rama was not a teetotaler. He drank liquor copiously and Valmiki records that Rama saw to it that Sita joined with him in his drinking bouts. There were Apsaras, Uraga and Kinnari accomplished in dancing and singing. There were other beautiful women brought from different parts. Rama sat in the midst of these women drinking and dancing. They pleased Rama and he garlanded them.
8. Valmiki calls Rama as a 'Prince among women's men'. This was not a day's affair. It was a regular course of his life. However, the Ramayan that is followed by people today is Tulsidas Ramayan.
