Rama Sita - Phra Ram & Naang Siidaa


Now that Nontuk and Phra Naaraayn have been born on Earth as Phra Ram พระราม and Totsagan ทศกัณฐ์์, it is perhaps time to introduce you to Vishnu's (Phra Ram's) "Mahaesii" - เมหสี(Consort)ว
IN the heavenly realms, Vishnu always is accompanied by his Consort, Phra Lakshmi. Lakshmi always follows Vishnu in his incarnations, and is usually born in the vicinity of him, growing up to meet and be his consort in all incarnations.
Naang Siidaa is the incarnation of Vishnu's Consort, Phra Lakshmi, and therefore fulfills the prophecy in becoming Phra Ram's wife.
It is important not to forget that the Yak Totsagan (Nontuk reincarnated), sees and desires Naang Siidaa, but inf act she is his own daughter, because she is the same child that he threw down the river years before.
This element of incests is often overlooked or not spoken about in most circles. I find it an interesting twist in the fact that Totsagan doesn't know he is desiring his own daughter.
It is also remarkable when you consider that Naang Siidaa is depicted as human, her Father was a Yak, and her mother was Naang Montoe (ex Consort of Phra Intr,or Indra if you like).
Naang Montoe had a human appearance, so obviously Naang Siidaa got her looks from her Mother.

Three Lords of Heaven Shiva, Vishnu, Brahma


Phra Isworn (พระอิศวร)
Phra Isworn is the Thai name for the Deity Shiva, or Siva, if you like. In the Ramayana Phra ram and Naang Siidaa, along with Totsagan, all come from a previous incarnation in the heavenly realms, where the Three Lords of Heaven rule;
Phra Isworn (Shiva), Phra Prohm (Brahma), and Phra Naaraayn (Vishnu Narayan).
Phra Isworn is the highest of all three, due to the fact that he has never been born (avatared). Phra Naaraayn likes to help the Humans and beings in dire distress and suffering. Vishnu (Phra Naaraayn), is accounted to have 10 Avatars (incarnations), 9 of which have already foregone us. Krishna, Phra Ram, Buddha, and the future Buddha Maitreya are of his manifestations.
Vishnu has a Consort (Lakshmi), who always follows him on his births as an Avatar of Vishnu. In the Ramakian, she manifests as Naang Siidaa.
