about

Sita is essentially the embodiment of devotion and loyalty, Sita also represents Lakshmi, the goddess of
prosperity, abundance, good living on the earth and in the world. Ram (Rama) is an embodiment of dharma-integrity, solidity, and protection of the earth. Rama is an embodiment of Vishnu, the protector of the created universe, the one who preserves the stability of the worldly realms, the supreme consciousness. Jai means “joy, victory, or glory to.”
*Sita & Ram are recognized as a divine couple.
---- The Sita Ram mantra balances the both sides of brain. It harmonizes and vitalizes the whole body, cleansing
toxins and impurities, removing blockages and activating our self awareness... shedding light in what were once dark recesses of our body, mind, spirit trinity.

lyrics

Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram

So sublime, this meeting, you and I
So beautiful, that sparkle in your eye
Your thoughts, they’re audible to me...
When you speak them it’s just
more reason - to believe:

I see you, you see me

makes me realize how rare and wonderful is this scene!
I treasure this moment, however long
It’s teaching me maybe I don’t need to be SO strong.

You Open Me, You Open Me
You Open Me, You Open Me

Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram

I love that you are a being, magically
It’s so lonely sometimes, being me
Being me, or anyone else, you see.

It’s what we all wish for - and NEED!
So precious, this moment, to be seen.
Devastating-ly beautiful; Humanity.

You Open Me, You Open Me
You Open Me, You Open Me

Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram Sita Ram
