Sita is Located In the Asoka Garden

From the window of a building, Hanuman caught a view of a garden he had not yet seen and wanted to go and check. Mentally and with great devotion, he asked the Lord for mercy to find her and to give him success in his mission. He entered that garden, called Ashoka, and searched carefully inside.

Suddenly, in a clearing surrounded by trees and bushes, he saw a woman as wonderful as no poem can ever properly describe. All material beauty vanished and became nothing in the face of that transcendental beauty. Matter, so imperfect, transient, illusory, hid its face in front of that spiritual body. It could not be anyone but Sita, Hanuman had no doubts. His heart told him that it couldn’t be anyone but Sita. Remembering the description that Rama had made about her age and her physical features, Hanuman recognized her as the much desired Sita.

He looked at her with deep devotion and spiritual love, without a trace of material lust, and recognized her as the goddess he had so adored and served. He looked at her again and again. A light of profound purity emanated from her face and his thoughts seemed to be lost in a world where matter had no access. Drinking on his spiritual figure, looking at it as a thirsty man looks at an oasis after so much wandering through a desert of hot sands, he felt ecstatic and filled with a profound transcendental happiness. Sita’s celestial beauty was indescribable. How could such a noble and pure woman have had to suffer such an unfortunate fate? This question haunted his mind. The devotee Hanuman’s eyes filled with tears and mentally he offered his obeisances to the lotus feet of Rama and Laksmana.
